The following respondent appeal in
rhyme is made, through the same paper:
GIVE YOUR COTTON.
Give your cotton-eYery bale.
Rather than our cause should fail;
Let the base invader know,
In the scale our all we throw
That our country we will save,
Or make 1t an eternal grave.
Men of spirit-courage high,
Would We rather live than dieI
When your country asks your aid,
Would YOU see your country laid
All in ruins!-or will you give
What will make your country livei
There is hope when men are true,
When they'll die or bravely do;
When n purpose, stern aud HIGH
Nerves them for the conflict nigh;
When their affairs they will save,
Or rush with glory to the grave
Give your cotton-give your life
Long maylive the present strife,
But we'll surely win at lust
Then we'll bless tho dangers past;
But remember all must give,
That our south, our South may live.

a large palmetto occupies the centre, on
the right of which South Carolina is rep
resented with the great staple, cotton; on

is cotled round the palmetto is shaking his

Their commercial dispatch from New
Orleans reads this way:
New ORLEANS, July Cove have again
to notice an inactive market in nearly
every branch of trade. With the excep-
ton of some movement in Sugar, partly to
supply the demand for consumption and
partly on speculation, operations have
been more restricted than last week.
Operations will continue to be quoted
RESTRICTED" We suspect, for some time to
come.
The money market is quoted thus:
MONEY MARKEr.-The Money Market

ticed. There is not the least excitement in
the market however. In view of the lit

sional transactions that we hear of, the
ruling rates are l4@3 q cent. y month
for selected mortgage bonds, and 2(93 y

long and short commercial paper.
