The Battle near Somerset.

This is the principal topic of discus
sion in the Southern papers. They ad-
NIT that they had in the field about $500
men, while the Federal army, it is assert
ed, consisted of 10000 men, in an in
tronched camp, under Generals Rosen-
Grams, Schoepf and Thomas. We have
the following account of Zollcoffor's
death from the Nashville Patriot:
General Zollcofcr mistook Ken
lucky or Ohio regiment which had open
ed fire upon our forces for one of our re-
giments firing upon others through mis-
take, and galloped forward with his staff
to order them to desist, not discovering
his error till he was in their midst. He
Immediately drew his sword and des-
patched the Colonel, to whom he was
about to give orders, when he was fred
upon, and fell, pierced with many balls.
Major Henry M. Fogg, of his staff, was
wounded in the thigh, and Lieutenant Il.
Is. Shields, another of his staff, was
killed by his side. Major Fogg was
borne from the field"
The following account is from another
source:
General Zollicoffer advanced to with
in short distance of an Ohio regiment,
which had taken position at point I'M
known to him, and which he supposed 10
be one of his own regiments.
The first intmation be had of his
dangerous position was received when it
was too late. There's old Zollicoffer, :"
cried out several of the regiment. Kill
him" and in an instant their pieces we're
leyeled at his person. At that moment
Henry M. Fogg, his aid. drew his revolt
yer and fired, killing the person who first
recognized Gen. H. With the most per-
feet GOODNESS Gen. Y. approached to the
head of the enemy, and, drawing his sa-
bre, cut the head of the Lincoln Colonel
from his shoulders. AS soon as this was
done twenty bullets pierced the body of
our gallant leader, and Gen. ZollicofTer
fell from his horse mangled corpse"

day evening of last week, Mr., David
Carlisle was married to Miss Connolly,
daughter of Mr.. Michael Connolly, of
Medley's District, in this county. The
brides father gave an entertainment on
the occasion, and everything went on
till some time in the evening,
when Mr. Wallace, another son-in-law
of Mr.. Connolly, got on the floor for the
purpose of dancing, when he suddenly
fell, and expired in few moments. 1t
is supposed he died of heart disease.

The stock market appears to have recovered
from the depression which commenced at the
beginning of the month. The public are recover
ing courage, and are buying stocks in moderate
amounts. They have been tempted into the mar
ket by the depression of government securities,
and the large earnings of the trunk railways; and
if no disaster occurs they seem likely to increase
their purchases, and possibly q fresh period of
activity may be on the cards. Holders of govern
mont currency bearing no interest, not redeem
able in coin, and only convertible into five-twenty
bonds, can afford to purchase government skies,
twenty years to rum with interest payable in coin,
at or near par, without being guilty of much
speculative rashness. And, ON the other hand, an
increase of some two millions in the earnings Of
the Central and million and quarter in those OF
the Erie naturally tempt the large class Of opera
tors who are accustomed to embark their money
in the securities Of these roads. There is fair
short interest in the board-enough to give life
and strength to an upward movement, If the skies
remain serene, and sufficient to check panic, in
the event of more disaster. So far as can be
judged by observers, however, the preponderance
Of influence and capital is now enlisted on the bull
side.

The bank state ment which was published last
Monday afternoon showed specie average of
s31 1926 900, being decrease of Sill 56l from the
previous week; loans average Of $l4s, ,s27, ,423,
being an increase of $s29,9S7 and deposits
average of $l29, 4s5,977, being an increase Of
81 ,946, ,927. The export movement Of coin cxer
cises very little effect upon the banks, as they
are, az rule, declining to sell coin, and their
special depositors are not exporting. Nine
tenths of tho gold which is sent abroad is bought
at the market price by the bullion brokers. If,
therefore, future bank statements should show
decline in the specie average, 1t would be safe to
ascribe the event to sales Of coin by some of the
banks for the sake Of the premium. Banks
selling their coin must be presumed TO
intend to replace It at lower figures. II they
should be disappointed in their calculations, aud
the premium on gold should advance instead OF de-
clining, their depositors might have good case
against the bank managers to compel them TO re-
purchase all they had sold. The gold in the vaults
of bank belongs to lis depositors, fos whom it is
hcla in trust--rot to its stockholders, who have
nothing to 90 with It.
The money market grows gradually easier.
Money on call is worth a 8 per cent, with occa-
sional exceptions at G. Mercantile paper is quoted
very scarce indeed. Certificates Of indebtedness
are quoted at esH "a. The period Of uneasiness
which followed the battles before Richmond
led to the withdrawal from circulation Of
large quantity Of money which is now
again coming into the market, and hence the
tendency Of rates is downward. 1t is the
policy Of the Treasury Department to preserve
control of the money market in order to secure the
conversion of currency into six per cent bonds,
and it is in the power Of Mr. Chase to do so by the
issue of legal tender notes Hence II Is safe to as
sumo that the rate Of interest is likely to fall
than to rise. Considerable speculation has been
generated in demand notes, by rumors that the
government was buying them up in order to SC.

Heavy as these imports are, and evidently excep-
tional, in consequence of the change of duties on
the ls our exports will probably be fully large
though the export of specie is declining steadily.
In the course of q few weeks the Tax law will
cooperate with the tariff in checking the
consumption of foreign goods. This new impost
will compel many families throughout the country
to curtail their expenditures and the first expenses
to be reduced will be those of luxury. There
will be, next year, market reduction in the con-
sumption Of silks, laces, wines, fancy goods, jew
elry &C., and it is probable that there will be also
a reduction-sufficiently active to be felt-in the
consumption of tea, sugar, coffee and other neces-
saries of life. In course Of time, when the peo.
pie become accustomed to the taxes, and prospe-
rity is restored, consumption will increase again.
But the effect of the first visit of The taxgatherer
will be to frghten everybody into habits of econo
my, and this, together with the new duties, win
be sure to keep our imports down to moderate
figure.
