E4- We spent most agreeable and
instructive hour a few days since at the
foundry and machine shop of Messrs.
Stevens d Hughes. We always liked
to look around on mechanical opera
tons, especially those of machine
shop, where the great wheels revolve
noiselessly without any exhibition of
power, while the planning machines
steadily slice off their iron shavings
with the same ease that Werter' s
sweetheart cut her bread and butter.
Mr.. Connolly, the gentlemanly and
accommodating foreman of the shop,
took the trouble to show us around.
Several steam engines in various stages
approaching completion were scattered
about the shop, and every article of
machinery used on plantations was to
be seen in different departments. In
the foundry we were gratiied to see
that among the castings was large
lot of iron fence, and we learned that
arrangements has been made to man.
ufacture it in any quantity. Too much
credit cannot be given to the energetic
proprietors for the rapidity with which
they have placed their foundry in its
present effective condition. Com
mencing we might say at the stump,
they built their own engine and most
of their machinery, and now have a
shop of which our city may well feel
proud.

cry respectfully,
Pearl River Fridge,

We heartily endorse the article in
the Standard on this subject. The
city authorities should move in this
matter The convenience and the in
terest Of the city Of Jackson requires
the speedy erection Of a bridge over
Pearl river, and we are surprised that
our Getty fathers have been so far
wanting in enterprise as to have neg
lected this important undertaking
The trade of Rankin county is of
more importance to Jackson than that
of Kinds. Planters in the western
and southern part of Kinds trade to
Vicksburg or New Orleans-while
Jackson should be the market for the
greater part Of Rankin Besides Ran
kin, there are several eastern counties,
Simpson, Covington and Smith that
used to trade largely with Jackson,
and would do so again ifthere was a
free bridge over Pearl river and prop
er inducements held out to them by
our merchants. No time should be
lost, but the bridge put under con
tract, so as to be ready for the fall
trade.
There are other city improvements
that we desire to see inaugurated by
our worthy Mayor and Aldermen to
which we will allude hereafter. AS it
is, we are completely cut off from the
wagon trade of these eastern counties.
Even before the cotton crop comes in,
Jackson would be an excellent mar
ket for their country produce, while
their supplies could be furnished here
cheaper than at any other point SO
convenient. As it is, this valuable
trade now goes to Brandon and other
railroad towns. r- t.,...

MY Youth Has Passed.

I'm growing old, it's very plain,
And yet regrets are weak and vain.
For can stay Old Times Intent
Or live again the years I've spent
Or eer recall in all their glow
The rosy hours of long agoi
Or can view the change and blight
That years have wrought me in their flight
My sable silken locks turn grey,
My blushing bloom all fade away,
And not regret that youth has passed,
That am growing old so fast
Ny golden dreams have long since flown
For time has robb'd me of mine own
And not alone the charms that grace
The buoyant form and beaming face,
But heart and feelings too are cold,
Which tells me true I'm growing old
Revolving time no more can bring
To glad my heart another spring,
No other flowers so fair shall bloom,
or scatter wide such sweet perfume
Though may love and hope, It's vain
For can nee 7 feel young again.
All needless as the child at play
Amid the smiling joys of May,
UnmiudfIl 1 of passing time,
Whose tread was soft as evening chime,
Whose voice no warning told the hours
Ofyouth we're feetiug as the flowers.
But youth has passed and awake
From those enhancing dreams that make
The mind forget for time has told
,d r,opitnr--I'r, craving old
But mem'ry still will wander DER
The bright yet beaten paths of yore

Friday, and the circular, a copy of
which we publish. We trust that cit
zens in every part of the State will

municate as early as practicable such
information rs they can procure.
What is especially wanted is the num-
Der of acres in cultivation now com
pared with 1860, in every county in
the State This information could
be given by the different sherifs and
assessors if they would pay little at
teution to it. Auxiliary societies
should be organized in the different
counties and the results of their inves-
tigation communicated to the Central
Association. Wewill feel obliged to
any Of our friends or subscribers, who
will furnish Us information on this
subject, and will gladly lay it before
the public
1t is desired to know the number of
farms cultivated this year that were
cultivated in 1SG0-the number of
hands at work on each farm then and
now-the acres in cotton in 1860 and
in 1S66-the bales made in 1SGO-the
condition Of the stand this year, the
efficiency Of the hands now compared
with former years, DC Any facts in
reference to the operation Of the
present system Of labor, will be i'm
portant. Correct intelligence on all
these points is very much desired, and
should be given to the public:

Salt Rheum and all diseases of the blood

"a WEDNESDAY, EVENING, June 90, 1865.
Gold had a steadier, though rather frmer
market in New York to day, the price re-
ported by the regular press dispatches this
afternoon being 1921, since which advices
to bankers quote the premium about per
cent. higher. 1t is probable the market
will steady itself within the range Of I5O@
I55, subject TO future European advices.
The high rate to which the price Yves carried
on Monday materially reduced the export
and customs demand, and the wants of the
market are at present comparatively limited.
Importers prefer allowing their goods TO re-
main in bond rather than pay the high
price for gold, which they claim 70 believe
will not be maintained, and the low rates
now making in exchange favor shippers.
The effect OF this is to narrow operations in
the gold room to a fight between the "bulls''
and "bears," who gore and hug zach other
as best they can under the circumstances
One thing, however, is quite apparent, that
higher rate of premium on gold, and specu-
lators will find little assistance when moi
aided by a condition of trade that render:
their efforts feasible, and such a condition i:
not believed now to threaten.
The New York market was firm to-day
! for Governments, and this afternoons quot.
atoms show generally better figures. II
this market Five-twenties of 1864 and IS6;
were advanced ] of l per cent. selling, and
compound interest notes were higher, BIZ
other denominations were unchanged. W
quote the closing rates for coin and Govern
| ments "a folIoWs.
Cleveland daily leader. [volume] ([Cleveland, Ohio]) 1865-1873, 1866-06-21

In the local money market the demand
for discounts is still very active, the wool
interest being most largely represented and
the market is close, and with some of the
banks there is a ~stringency in currency.
Currency is being quite generally ordered
in, and the return flow from New York
during the past few days has been large.
The market is abundantly supplied with
Eastern Exchange, and the supply increases.
Rates arc steady at los of buying and par
selling.
In the general markets to-day there was
very little animation, the reaction in gold
/ aud prices of produce in New York tending
| to unsettle the views of holders, while
| prompting buyers to increased caution. In
| Flour there was no improvement upon the
local demand, and no change can be re-
ported in prices. There was scarcely
enough done in Wheat TO establish prices.
A car of No. l Spring sold at $500 de-
| cline of 5@Sc. from the extreme figures of
Monday and yesterday, and a round lot
would probably not have brought this
figure red winter was in moderate request
at about previous prices. There was no
thing doing in Corn, but holders would
nave been free sellers at 6s@7Oc. Oats
were very quiet, but firm and %nominally 1c
better.
In provisions there was a quiet market,
but prices were maintained, and we note no
change. Butter continues a very dull com
modify at IS az as extreme figures for
prime to very choice Western Reserve.
Cheese is steady and in good request. Eggs
are in good demand and firm.
The movements of gold have tended to
greatly ~unsettle the market for groceries,
and dealers find it difficult to keep posted
as to the situation. They report no mate
rial change in prices since last week, but
staple goods nave a strong upward ten
dency. Buyers are not taking hold so
freely, and trade is rather quiet.
Highwiues are quiet and steady. Petro-
leum is in limited inquiry, but prices are
maintained with a fair degree of frmness
We note an advance to-day of 15c per
Dbl on Salt. The demand is good.
