Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1862-08-06

The Mobile Tribune has received files Of New
Orlesns papers SIS late as the 30th ult. There is
nothing Of great interest in them; no new or i'm
portant orders from Butler.
The exports amount to a large sum in sugar
and molassesi but for four days the sum total Of
cotton sent seward was about fifteen bales
Four vessels took one bale each. Ssventy-three
bales had been received from Baton Rouge, and
two hundred and twenty nine from Yicksburg.
Butler IS evidently distressed by this cotton
famine
The deaths week before last were ia. There
is no report Of yellow fever cases, or Of many
cases Of fever Of any kind.
The Bulletin has a warm tribute to the memo
n Of is former editor, Col. Seymour, who was
slain recently in Virginia. 1t is written with as
much heartiEess as though Butler was not at
hand and, by the way, we observe that the
same paper discussed very freely the negro
question IN this war, and is as free in it as if it
were safe within the Confederate States. The
Picayune also takes a little more latitude in the
range of ITS opinions, from which we infer that
Butler himself begins to have a better under
standing of the subject, or desires to placate the
people Of Louisiana, or, perhaps, to let himself
eff easy, if he should wake up one of these
mornings and find himself a captive.
The only local news of interest the reader will
find in tie following paragraphs:
Con-. F~AHRAGUT's FLEET-The flag ship
H rtiord, the fdgates Richmond and Brooklyn,
and several gunboats, of Com. Farragut's feet,
which we noticed Monday as on their way down
the river from Yicksburg, arrived that afternoon
and anchored in front of the city.
TIE METROPOLITAN CLUB ARRESTED
For years past 8 cl1b has existed in this city
called the Metropolitan" It's headquarters
has always been at the head of Claiborne and
GaEquet streets. The venerable SaehemS who
used to meet there every evening to discuss poll
tics, philosophy, etc, it seems, have turned their
attention lately to the discussion, or rather to
the FORMULATION, of views not exactly in ac-
cordancs with the ideas Of "the powers that be-"
The result has been that a squad Of Federal
soldiers, Friday last, "bagged" tho whole club.
All classes of society will in7oluntsrily drop a
tear over the extinction Of the old and venerable
metropolitan"
SUDDEN DEATH-Mr. James Stevens, agent
of J. BogEert & Co., sugar brokers, was found
living on Canal street yesterday about 2 o'clock
in an insensible condition. He was conveyed to
the second district police station, where he soon
after died. Deceased was ABOUT uIIy-elRHL years
ST age, and a resident of Philadelphia. He had
an aGacionsts letter from his wife, in which she
stated that # he could not come TO Philadelphia,
she would come here in the fall. He bad
SI,73065 and a gold watch.
DEATH OF ANTOINE MICHOUD.-We have to
chronicle to-day the death Of one Of the Oldest
inhabitants Of the city, Mr.. Antoine Michoud.
The eccenticites Of Mr.. MichOUd's life gave
him rather an obscure position ia society.
Although belonging TO a historic family OF
France, and himself a man Of immense wealth,
his secluded habits deprived him OF that station
in life which he might have worthily filed both
by bis rank and intelligence. Mr.. Michoud was
formerly Sandman consul at this port, and a
of the order Of s.. Maurice. He leaves
no family, but q few relatives in France, who
doubtless will become the legatees Of his extern
sivs fortune.
