There is increased activity in the dry
goods trade. Jebbers are doi1g a large
business with The interior. Buyers from the
South continue 10 purchase to a fair extent,
while Western merchants are now buying
more freely than st any time since the sea-
sou opened. Among domestic fabrics We
notice that b.esched goods are firm, aud
brown cottous generally steady, standard
sheetings icing quoted at 24a2tc.
Prints have fallen of about ic per yard
but are steady at the decline. Desirable
styles Of French dress-goods bring fair and
remunerative prices, but common goods o.
English and Continental manufacture sill
sell st a sacrifice. -Woolen- goods are sz
tremely dull, rsnd the decline lately has
been quite heavy. Domestics are active
The trade doing in carpets and ticks is still
very Light. There Isl fair business doine
IN boots and shoes, and prices have not IN
dergone any very important change.
American hardware IS not likely 10 ex.
perience any market. The decline for the
present j. owing 10 the strong capitalization
Of the manufacturers. The raw materials
now on hand were generally bought ct high

A New CAsE.-At the recent term
of the Probate Court of this county, an
application was made by a freedman
for a testimonial authorizing him to
solemnize the rites of matrimony in
this State. AS this is probably the
first case of this kind, we have inquired
into the particulars for the benefit Of
our readers, and now give them the
result.
The Code provides that any minis
ter of the gospel ordained according
to the rules of his society, imay solem-
nize the rites of martimony between
any free white person within this State,
who shall produce license provided,
that he shall have produced to the
Probate Court of some county in the
State credentials ofhis ordination, and
of his being in regular communion
with the Christian society OF which ne
is member, and shall have obtained
from such court a testimonial, author
izing him to solemnize the rites OF
matrimony in this State.
The freedmen produced, 10 support
of his application, the certificate of his
ruling elder, showing that the Confer.
ence with which he is connected had
licensed him as local preacher. Il
annears in testimony that this certifi
cate was evidence that the freedman
was licentiate only and that person
licensed as a local preacher mus
serve in that capacity four years De
fore he can be ordained. .o
The court held that such certln
cate could not be received as creden
tials of ordination in the ease OF
white minister of the gospel, and ina
no discrimination could or ought 10 o
made in favor of colored person
The application was THEREFORE refused

TT The Natchez Courier thus relates
a practical joke ofthe Deputy Sheriff
at Vidalia on a negro prisoner who had
just been acquitted:
He went. to the Jail and told the
freedman that he had been convicted,
and would be hung, but as he believed
him innocent of the charge, he would
give him Il chance for his life. He in
structed him to escape when he gave
him the opportunity, which would be
when he turned his back to him, APP
parently engaged in some other mat
ter; and with thousand thanks, Mr..
Contraband awaited himself of the priv
ilege thus offered him.
He darted off like a frightened deer,
and in an incredibly short space of
time, answered at roll call on a planta-
ton some 40 miles away, where he had
been hired before his arrest.

Honor. to the Confederate Dead.

The last of May in Richmond was
devoted to paying tribute to the hero
ic dead who lie buried in the Holly
wood and other cemeteries. The fol-
lowing eloquent description of tie
ceremonies appears in the Examiner
The dead encampment' was sup
posed to be the scene of the floral offer
ing of the Ladies' Hollywood memorial
Association, more especially, and
thither, climbing the steep gravelly
hill, the greater portion of the multi
tude first directed their steps. The
sight of this opening period of the
ceremonies was grand. Spread out in
view was the vast expanse of graves
the army in repose awaiting the deco
ration of love and veneration, the
wreath of honor. This was the ''poor
privates' encampment, and they slept
in humble graves, but they were not
to be forgotten. Around and among
the graves were the thousands gather
ed to scatter the tributes.
The grateful breeze blew lightly in
the oaks, signing through the branch
es as though in sympathy with the
scene. Each grave received three or
more offerings-sometimes a wreath, a
boquet and a sprig-and woman's
hand was the busiest in the distribu-
ton. Many tear fell yesterday in
that dead encampment, though they
fell unseen, and upon the graves of
unknown and namelesS heroes. They
were the tears of women, who have q
tear for all, and the tears of surviving
| comrades who, in their distribution,
came upon the graves of comrades who
fought at their side But though most
of the distributors were strangers to
the dead while living, a bond of sym
pathy stronger than that of brothers
made them friends on this memorial
occasion.
And can we be permitted to indulge
in the pleasing hope that the army of
disembodied spirits, to whose mould
ering forms the thousands did honor
yesterday, were witnesses to the touch
ing rites paid by the living to the dead :;
that their spirits, lowering, blessed the
donors and the day The spirit train
Of Stuart, Morgan, Ashby, and the
host of them that rode through death
into enternity, did they not pass down
these leafy aisles of the tombs, with
Stonewall at their head? Did no spir-
it-sabre clank, unseen, unheard, at
Stuarts side; no voice, commanding,
come from StonewalIs lips? Did no
bugle sound, unReard by the living
thousands gathered there, to summon
up the shadowy review?
Alas. for speculation. They are
gone. The young, the brave, the
brilliant-they are dust But we will
do this honor to their dust-heap up
their graves mound like, from year to
year, make them green and fowery
and keep their memories nurtured in
our hearts.
The supply of flowers were exhausted
before all the graves were crowned,
! but we will crown them yet No
grave there shall neglected or forgot
ten be. Well make another call, and
spring, with a fearful eye, will empty
her full lap into the ladies' arms
