Gen. Richard II Anderson And His

To the Editor of the Richmond Erami
ner.
SIR: The Second Brigade, Longs,ree,'s
Division, composed cf the First palmetto
Sharpshoo,ers," Fifth and Sixth South
Carolina volunteers, Mattison's South
Carolina battalion, and the gallant Lou
isiaua battalion, conceived the laudabIe
purpose of presenting to General r Ii.
Anderson some testimonial Of its appre.
citation OF his services as our brigade
commander.
BETTING gift. On Saturday, 22G instant
the brigade was drawn up by Colonel
Jeskins, Palmetto Sha,pahooters, when
Captain J. d. WyIie, Company a, Fifth
South Carolina volunteers, delivered the
gft to our good and noble general, in a
style that reflected credit upon himself
and spoke the feelings Of the entire brig
.ade.
Enclosed you have his speech and tina,
of Gen. Anderson, which speak for them
selves.
We regretted very much the absence
Of our gallant Louisiana comrades. A
recent order having transferred them to
another command, it was impossible TO
have them present. The Second South
Carolina Rifles, Col. Moore, recently as
signed to our brigade, greeted US with
their presence ss invited guests. The oc.
currence Of Saturday being one Of those
little incidents which break the monoony
of camp life. we hope you may give its
imperfec. recital place in your columns,
that the "oved ones at home" may see
that We are still alive and merry.
Very respectfully,
"CoAMIrrEE."

The following table shows the course of the stock
rla NJ for tho az xvoa nd mr. h

The course of the stock market has been down.
ward since last Monday. This has mainly been
due to the absence Of news. An impression pre-
walls that operations of decisive character are on
foot, and the public are unwilling to buy or sell
until they know something Of the result. Pending
the dulness, some Of the spectators have been
getting out pretty heavy short line in Central
Erie and the Western shares, and thus supplying
at lower prices what little demand there exists. II
is not probable that the prevailing inactivity will
last long, In the course of q very few days mill.
tary operations OF the first magnitude will proba
bly, be developed, which will revive the dormant
spirit of speculation, and once more give
employment to the commission houses. OF the
course Of the market the leading members Of the
Stock Exchange seem to have but one opinion
They look for an advance in the price Of railway
shares and bonds, and likewise OF federal securi.
ties. Opinions are not so uniform with regard to
the bonds Of the slave States. Most persons re-.
gard these securities as very doubtful property,
both in consequence Of the ruin which the present
nefarious rebellion has brought upon the slave
States, aud also on account of the radical dishon-
esty which it has developed among the people Of
Virginia Tennessee and the other insurgents. In
Wall street, three years ago. Virginia securities
were considered almost as safe as the bonds of the
federal government. At present, among thinking
men, they are classed with Mississippi bonds and
utterly discredited.
The only event Of any consequence in the railway
world last week the declaration Of the dividend
on the Toledo shares. A considerable effort
had been made by the spectators to prevent
the directors making this dividend. We pre-.
sumo, however, that they know their own bust.
ness, and that they are not ignorant Of the arQu.
ments which the street operators have so loudly
urged against the declaration of q dividend
at the present time. If the crops of the West do
not fall below an average there is no reason wby
the Toledo should not preserve its place on the
dividend paying list for many years TO come. A
falling off in the receipts Of the Illinois roads IL
reported. This is due partly TO the want 90
storage room at Chicago, the granaries at which
place are full Of gran and partly to the high rates
of freight exacted by the roads between Chicago
and the seaboard. We have received letter from
Iowa setting forth in strong language the hardship
inflicted on the farmers Of the far West by the
present high railroadfreights. Our correspondent
may console himself by remembering that the

This import of general merchandise is fully
equal to the average Of former seasons, and the
remuneratve prices at which most Of these articles
are selling prove that the country needs them.
They will have to be paid for, however, in great
part, in gold, which the bankers are already buy.
ing for export. We can well spare q large guam
tity of gold II is to be hoped however that Con.
gress will not fail to perceive the opportunity which
our increasing importations offer for an increase
in the tariff. Nearly all the articles enumerated
above, and especially foreign dry goods tea, su-
gar, coffee, hides lead and wool, will bear much
heavier duty than they now pay. With some of
These articles an increase Of duty, while imposed
merely for revenue purposes would have tha effect
of developing important industries at home. An
increase in the duty on lead for instance, would
develop our production of the article and emanc.
pate us from our present dependence upon foreign
countries for supply-a matter of national import
ance in view Of the uncertainties Of the future In
creased duties on foreign dry goods and hardware
will likewise operate very benefcially on important
branches Of domestic industry, though it is not
likely that for some time to they will reduce
the volume Of our mportations. Our export OF
bullion last week was about the usual average dur.
ing the present year. Our export of produce was
heavier than usual Of late. In a day or two in
terlal navigation will reopen, and then exports
will increase.
