NEW ORLEANS MARKETS.

The following is from the N. 0. Cres-
cents "Financia and Commercial Sum
mary of Saturday morning:
GoLD-The movement yesterday was re-
stricted owing to the fact that it was q
State holiday. Some $4,000 changed
hands, however, at rather frmer prices,
and Gold checks for over 100000 were
sold at 14@8 per cent. premium. The
ruling rates last evening were 125A9l252
FOREIGN ExoHANGB-M lost of the leading
buyers kept out of the market yesterday,
but nevertheless some ECO, 900 changed
hands, at previous figures. The move
ment in Francs was wholly suspended and
we still quote Sterling at l85@l36 at bank.

Bills 13l@l32
DOMESTIC ExoHANGE-We have no alter
alton to report in this class of exchange.

and sixty days at 1928 per cent discount.
UNouRRENT BANK NOTES AND SEoURI-
TIEs.-The movement in the former has
been restricted since our last to $4,000
Louisiana State Bank at Soc, and we have
not been appraised of an operation of any
kind in the latter. Offerings of Uncurrent
Bank Notes are now very light, and the
supply of private securieties shows no in
crease whatever, while the demand for
both is of very limited character, and the
general run of stocks and bonds continue
wholly neglected, though very freely of
fered. .+...
CoTToN-As the banks were closed yes
terday and facilities for placing exchange
were consequently restricted, the move
ment in Cotton was confined to some 900

vous. The exports aggregate Is, 9l5 bales,
against l9, 500 bales last week, and 1873
the week previous, and the stock on hand
and on shipboard this evening is lS4,T58
bales, against l84, 698 bales last week, and
1894 1913 bales at the close of the week end

~ Gen. Burnside was nominated
for the Office of Governor of Rhode
Island by the Republican Conven-
ton Of that State on the goth ult.
The somination, says the Boston
Post, was received with great ap-
plause, and, as he WAS an old line
Democrat, thought Gen. Mcclellan
the most competent officer to COM
mand the Army of the Potomac, said
he would not be party candidate,
and is believed to favor the Presi-
dents policy, it is very likely he
will receive much larger vote than
the Radicals can cast.

TIE DEVIL KnLED.-One night last
week man was aroused by an unusual
noise in his yard, and went out and found
that some one had broken open his meat
house, and was making off with his meat.
He hailed the supposed thief, but found to
his astonishment that he had walked up
the most unearthly looking four legged
customer he ever beheld. At first he was
tempted to leave the field to the intruder;
but not liking to lose his meat, he con-
cluded to make at him. He was met by
most ferocious growl. He at once ran to
the house, got his gun and blazed away at
the monster. The shot had about the
same impression on it as would be pro-
duced by shooting green peas against
brick wall. The devil uttered an internal
growl, shook his chains, spit sparks of fire
from his mouth, and filled the air with the
smell of birthstone. The unearthly mani
festations of demon made the hair stand
on the mans head; but he could not bear
to lose his bacon. He then, nothing
vdaunted, determined to have another fire
at the devil, and took the precau.on to
l'ut minnie ball in his gun. The shot

ster, and he rolled upon the ground life
less corpse. Upon examination, it was
found to be 8 negro man, wrapped in
mule skin, which be had padded and fixed
up, ITO render 1t impervious to shot, and
the fire and birthstone was but an artifce
intended to frighten away intruders, while
he committed the robbery

Kew Jersey Election.

The noble Republicans of New Jersey
have covered themselves with glory. On
ly two Copperhead CongrcSsmer are lett
out of the five-a gain of one from That
state, and the Legislature is ours 10y clear
majority. This secures the election oil a
loval Senator in place of Mr.. Wright, who
died few DAYS ago. 1t is too soon tn
speculate as to who will be the choice OF
the State; but among all the able states
men there from whom selection will be
likely to he made. in our judgment His Ex-
celiency Marcus L. Warl, the present Gov
ernOr Is most suitable man. Laboring
most necessarily during the war as the
friend and the agent of the soldiers. trans
hitting millions of money from them to
their famiies-all without fee or reward
besides contributing most literally from
his own ample fortune, he merits on every
account the highest reward his feliow-citi-
zens can bestow. He is withall man oil
very superior ability, strong common sense
broad national views, and a thoroughly
courteous and accomplished gentleman
New jersey would honor herself and the
nation by sending such man to the Sen
ate. In saving this we do not mean TO dis
parage the many other able men in New
Jersey Who would do honor to the Sen tie
of the Republic. Ex-Governor Newell
Hon. Fred. Frclinghuysen. and many 9th
ers we could name, would adorn and dig
nify the council halls of the nation.

The echoes of Andrew Johnson's voice
have scarcely died upon the public ear,
since, in his memorable journey around the
circle, he proclaimed his readiness to sub
nit the differences between himself and
Congress fo the decision of the people, and
to abide tire result. Even while the words
were upon his lips two states ofthe Union,
Vermont and Maine. uttered their voice of
condemnation; and since then seventeen
other states. embracing the great bulk of
the population, wealth and intelligence of
the Republic, have given their decision
on the merits Ofthc case thus submitted 10
