business are Israelites, from which fact you can
readily form a Just idea Of their character The
cotton market for the week past has been deci-
dedly dull, owing partly to the guerrillas which
infect the immediate vicinity of the city, and
partly IRON the late depressed state of the market
in New York; but prices are now ruling higher,
and approximate nearer those of two weeks ago
ranging from thirty five to forty cents-choice
lots bringing forty one and forty-two. There is
no reason for permanent decline at present,
There is almost no cotton in the country, and
this years crop will be smaller than any within
the recollection of the planter You can make a
liberal discount on the statements of shipments
of cotton from this country, which you see in the
newspapers A party obtains permit from the
Board of Trade TO ship two hundred bales, and
perhaps will ship seyenty-five. The statements
made from the permits, not from shipments
Parties who in former years shipped fifty thousand
bales, will this year ship less than three thousand,
and few buyers in the market. The supersedure
of General Curtis, at Helena, is favorably receiv
ed by SPECTATORS OF his ability as n soldier, no
question is made, and of his Missouri and Ar
kansas campaign, praises too loud; but of
his administrative ability in commercial affairs,
we hear severe criticism.
The river is low, and our mails, consequently,
irregular. We hourly expect decisive news from
the East. The Presidents idea of the crisis may
be correct one, but at present we ''can't it,
We shall, however. keep the glass to our eye and
our hand on the wheel. Yours and

Our Dead Generals.

One of the bravest of the bravo lion hearted
sabreuF Murat, whose sOubriquet in the rebel
army was "THAT FIGHTING DEVIL, has offered up
his life in the Union cause. Philip Kearney no
more, and his loss is irreparable. He was essen
tally fighting man-One who, though gentle
and kind, loved camp life and battle ground bet
ter than anything in life Kearney of Irish
descent, a native of New Jersey, of
wealth, and famous in European as well as Amer
lean capitals Many are the records of his prov
ess; in Mexico, in Algiers, in Italy. He was
always to be found where bloody fighting was
taking place-abandoning an easy, luxurious life
in New York for Mexico, the first to enter that
city, leaving an arm as mementO of his pres
ence; among the boldest of all the bold French
men in Algiers; and, again. resigning the gaities
of Paris to fash his saber at Sollerino. His ex-
perience was a long one, dating from 1881 when
he served a Lieutenant in the United States
Dragons, and ending on the sanguinary fields of
the Peninsula, where he died Division General.
Poor Kearneyl He will be regretted by many
comrade who loved and envied him; his bravery
was so completely part of his nature and his
modesty nevertheless so conspicuous.
Another brave and eminent son of Massachu-
sets has given his life to his country. The gal
liant Gen. Stevens. who fell while leading bis
men against the foe, bearing the national banner
in bis hand, was one of the noblest men in the
army. He was a native of AndOyer, Mass. a
graduate of West Point, member of the En-
gineer corps in Mexico during our war with that
country, afterward Governor Of Washington
Territory, then a member OF Congress, and lastly
a Brigadier General in the Federal service. be

James Island, and fell in Virginia. DE was a
brother of our fellow citizen, Oliver Stevens

Council. We have known him for many years
He was an accomplished man, as military ON
Ger and as a civilian, and honorably distinguished
himself in both capacities.

Financial and Commercial summary
for the nasf week.

As announced in our last impression martial
law was declared in this city and the commerce
and citizens thereof placed under the absolute
rule of the military commander on Tuesday
morning, September ID, and since then the peo
pie OF this city have experienced in its fullest
sense what the power of law, and strict obedi-
ence thereto, are. Business of all kinds was
prohibited in the first place, excepting that con-
nected with publishing newspapers, and supply
ing the Government with provisions, and the city
transformed into vast military camp of armed
men. Never was more sudden and thorough
change produced in any city in shorter time.
In day or two the orders were modified so as to
permit the retail of provisions in the markets
and stores, but not until last Monday was gen.
eral resumption of business permitted. when it
was ordered that all lawful business might be re-
sumed until four O'Clock each afternoon, when all
stores and places of business should be promptly
closed, and the citizens capable of bearing arms
should turn out and learn the science of war.
In this order the buying. selling or shipment Of
all kinds of liquors was still prohibited, and all
stores where such liquors are retailed are kept
closed.
The banking houses were ordered to be closed,
under the first order, but afterwards permitted to
open from one to two o'clock each afternoon, so
that the business done in money matters has
been exceedingly limited, there beiug no paper
offered worthy of note. Exchange was in active
demand, and rates advanced TO par, buying, and
a prem, selling rate. Gold, in response to the
New York market, where it has materially ad
vanced. went up to Is prem.
The news from Washington. from day to day,
has kept the people of the loyal States in state
Of constant excitement, and the inroads made by
the rebel army upon Washington and Maryland,
as well as upon the Western Border States, have
been most discouraging. Our army has fallen
back to the intrenchments at Washington, which

pressure of radical Republicans

the negro exclusion law of the State.
The twelfth tenders thanks TO the Illinois rOl-
unteers.
