ANoTHER.-About seven o'clock last evening,
as the members Of the Presdent's Mounted
Guard we're starting to their picket posts around
the outskirts of the city, Mr.. n. II. Lsskey's
pistol exploded in the holster as he was in the
act of mounting, the ball taking effect in the
side of his foot inaicting a painful though not
serious wound.

The Imports at this port continue TO decline, es-
pecialiy the imports Of dry goods, which have fallen
to a mere nominal figure. Comparing the aggre-
gate iaportations Of the first seven months of lscl
with the same months Of 1850 and 1859, we find q
decrease Of about s52 900 600, as compared with
1860 and s6t 100000 as compared with 1852 This
falling off in consumption of foreign goods is
fortunate thing for banks which would otherwise
have been compelled to suspend specie payments
before this. The exports of food from this port
continue large. Fer the first time in the history of
the port tie exports of produce for the past seven
months within SIC, Gee 600 Of the imports The
exports Of specie continue nominal, and must re-
main so until revival Of the import trade causes

Tie following table shows the course Of the stock

The course of the market last week was down
ward. 1t opened on Monday morning with con-
siderable buoyancy, but when the news of the de-
feat ut Bull run was received panic ensued which
caused prices to decline a per cent all yound.
This was succeeded by a reaction, during which
about half the decline was recovered, and TO this
reaction succeeded a tflti decline, with which he
week closed. On ordinary principles, in view Of
the war and the condition Of the country, stocks
might fairly be expected to fall. But SO much de-
ponds on The amount of sales made by the bears,
the scarcity of stocks, on the money market and on
other incidental causes, that tie bear movement
cannot by any means be regarded as a
sure thing. With money ct 4 per cent on

u few daring bulls may repeat the game which was
so successfully played siree or four weeks since,
with AT least equal prospects Of profit. Govern

Their the defeat ct Bull run nor the subsequent
panic had depressed them. While every other Sc

Condition of the South.

A letter in the Montgomery, Ala, Mail, da'
ted Larkinsville, in that State, suys:-" Busl-
ness is suspended here, except what relates TO
the war. Most of the business houses III the
town are closed" This is q common story at
the south, and we have especially seen 1t men
toned as true of Charleston, 8. &. A copy OF
the New Orleans Price Current gives proof OF
the utter stagnatiOn of business there. On the
I'd inst. there were but twenty-eight vessels IN
port, of which twelve were ships, four barques,
two briggs, and ten schooners, and Of these ten
ships, one barque and one schooner were under
seizure. There were only 9S0l bales OF Gotten
in port None Of the new cotton had come 10
hand, nor would it, as the factors IN New
Orleans had recommended the planters not to
send 1t there lest il should fall into the hands
of the loyal troops and vessels This was done
pursuant 10 action taken by the Board OF Under
writers Of New Orleans, who deemed highly
lmprudent to have large quantities OF cotton
stored IN presses and warehouses at the shipping
ports, 50 long as war exists. They determined
therefore, to prevent such accumuaIIons, aud
that not bale of cotton shall be shipped from
the southern ports until the blockade be raised
aud the imports and exports allowed to pass
without hndrance from any quarter. The
New Orleans Price Current e6ys that The
ia ballast 10 load with cotton will not be loler
sted at ALL" The factors, therefore, recon-
mend the plan to retain their cotton on thor
| plantations ill the blockade be opened.
This seems to settle the question that TIL
cotton crop will remain at home. and tina
Great Britain. as we'll as tbs free States. niue
do without il. The project of sending Ih
cotton overland through Mexican ports, |
deemed impraclicable. owing TO the vast dItti
Guilty of transportation. Moreover, If the cot
ton should reach England. it will be bough
and brought to the north 10 supply our factories
which the southerners are determined to pre-
vent, If possible. There is some chance Of thu
cO.IOn finding it's way north through Kentucky
which is neural ground. Evidently the rebe
government fears this, for, 10 order to proven
it. the project has been started of the govern
ment taking the monopoly OF the whole cOtto
and toba Geo crops.

The Great Battle at Springfield mis-
souri,.

The battle which took place near Springfield
No., on Saturday, 10Th met, appears to have
been even more holly contested than that oil
Bull Run. Viewed in q military light, II may
be considered a drawn battle but taking into
consideration the great disparity Of forces 1t
may we'll be eondered great victory for the
National arms. Gen. Lyon. it seems, was led
to take the initiative by apparently authentic
reports that heavy reintorcemenls under Gen.
Hardse were on their way to join the rebel
forces under Mccullough. Our army marched
out Of Springfield on Friday evening, only fifty
five hundred strOng-the Home Guards re.
naming behind-snd rested on the prairie dur
ing a potion of the night. About sunrise on
Saturday morning the eneMy's outposls were
driven in, and soon after The action became
general. The main attack was made in two
columns, led by Gems Lyon and Slurges. while
Gen. Segel had a thanking force of about a
thousand men, with four pieces of artillery, on
the south of the enemy'a camp. During the
battle, which ragged from sunrise until past one
o'clock in the afternoon, three distinct charges
were made by the rebels upon Capt. Potter
Battery, but each time they were repulsed with
terrible slaughter. Gen. Lyon, it appears tel
early in the day, at the head OF Kansas Teg
ment which he was leading on a charge-lu
