ately forwarded to the Dead Letter Office where
they are never heard from unless they contain

States Is cents for every letter or sealed package
weighing one ounce or under. Those over one

required. All letters without the necessary post
age stamps, or which are stamped with revenue
stamps, Will be forwarded to the Dead Letter Of
fee Immediately after being dropped into any

TUESDAY. Dee T.
MUSETARY.-Therc are many indications OF
very stringent money market, and consequently
rates paid for gold and mcuuent money have
undergone n material decline.
Gold in New York yesterday stood CT 1ii75
Here Il was bought at li2cslI3 aad sold at lij
These rates arc merely nominal as transactions
IRE extremely light.
Uncurrcnt money, with the exception Of the
different Tennessee Banks. has experienced
considerable decline. Yesterday Brokers would
not take Southern money at better than about
3cd5 cents lower than their advertised rates.
This decline Is owing to the fact, we understand.
that information was received early yesterday
of heavy decline In the Eastern market and
consequently Brokers were cautious Of buying.
Many arc predicting that IL the tigh;ness in
money continues many days most Of the South
cm Banks will decline much lower.
Bank Of Tennessee was bought at 90 cts and
sold at IS.
Planters at 5000 and sold at IS.
Union Bank is bought at IS and is In demand.

The first declares that, as an election for
President has not been possible on account

stance, the executive declares that the Con-
siitutional term of the President is extended

This conclusion was arrived at alcr full con-
/ sultation with the leading patriots, and is
understood TO be the expressed popular wish.

The SOth Reg. is home. So large a
proportion of the officers and men Of
this Reg. went from this part of the
State, that it has been watched here
with more than usual interest.
No regiment in the State was made
up Of better material, or has more cred
itably discharged the duties which it was
called on to perform So trusty was its
character and so orderly its department
that it was long kept in the State, en-
gagged in the difficult and delicate duty of
enforcing the draft. Sent from the State
into the far Indian country, it had no
opportunity Of winning laurels in battle.
but it had much hard work, which was
cheerfulIy done. '
For considerable time past the resi-
ment has been doing provost duty in
Kentucky and has been remarkable for its
efficiency, and honorable soldierly con-
duct. Many Of its members have been
detailed to important places, and Col.
Dill has most OF the time been Provost
Marshal General of the State, and re
ceiVed high praise for the manner in
which he filed that difficult position.
The boys are WELCOME home. As
they left bearing our warm wishes for
their safe return, 50 now we rejoice that
so many of them are spared 10 share in
the prosperity and enjoy the peace which
again blesses tho land. r

WV. j. COPP.

Mr.. VIZ. J. Corr Of Clifton, is the
Union nominee for member Of Assembly
from Pierce and ST. Groin counties. He
j. au oil resident anJ large property
holder, AID his Interests are fully denti.
tel with those Of the district. In addi-
Ion to this, be is man with scholarly
a'iainn.ents and culture. good abilities,
vile information, an'! large experience.
If excited, lie will MAINTAIN an honorable
position il the Assembly, and creditably
represent the district.
There are some objections to Mr..
CopP, arising from The fac; that he has
FecuIiarities Of thought an.i action which
Sometimes expose Inn - Tie charge Of
having more ability than practieaLility,
and from the further fact, that during
mo>l Of the war lis radiealism has placed
him II 3 position 0! antagonism 10 the
great body of the Union party, and his
criticisms of President Lincoln were
sometimes 50 severe as TO cause surprise
and regret u earnest Union men, AT
the same time his purposes aud sympa-
th:es were IN unison with those Of the
Union party; las difference was only iu
the means to secure the desired end.
We do not regard the objections 10 Mr.
Copp as sufficient to warrant Union men
IN opposing him, and we trust he will
receive tue undivided party vote.
