From the circular of those enterprising COM

we extract the following:


From the circular of those enterprising COM
mission merchants. Messrs. BACON, CLARDY & Co.,
we extract the following:
CorToY.-Owing to the heavy receipts which
continued throughout the entire of last month"; the
decline in gold from 45 to 1877 the high rate of in
terest of the Bank of England, and the extreme
dizziness and low price of sterling exchange. our
market has declined. and the feeling that then
generally prevailed Of future high prices has in a
great measure been toned down. The stocks IN
the various seaport cities of the United states are
estimated at 100000 bales, with stock in Liver
pool of 200 900 bales and about 600 bales at sea
n transit for that port) making in all over 500 600
bales besides what is still in the interior, (which
we think however, is very small.) The steady in
crease in stocks as VIII as .1e gIow arsr tbon
was anticipated, has had depressing influence on
our market, and during nearly the whole month
prices have ruled in favor Of the buyer; however,
we confidently believe that stocks are at their high
est and from this out must decrease, which, OF
course, win produce a buoyant and active market,
prices ruling in favor of the seller: =,
ToRAcCo.-The sudden termination of our civil
war thereby adding to the then stock on hand
the accumulation of leaf and manufactured to-
baccO in the States of Virginia and North Caro-
lima, the rapid decline in the premium on gold
duction in the currency price, In sterling ana
other foreign exchanges, the low price at which
the Regee contracts were taken; and the tax I'm;
posed by our Government on the manufactured
article, have all eonsplred to render our market
dull and sluggish. and there has, consequently,
been throughout the entire year. slow but grad
ual and continued recession in the price of this
staple the quotations for all grades being from one
and one half to two cents in gold, higher the first
of February, 1865 than they were the first OF Feb
ruary. 1866.
But we are decidedly Of the opinion that prices
the current year cannot recede further in gold
Current prices, of course depend entirely on the
premium on gold.) Although the stocks are large
they must now decrease instead of increase. All
has now come forward which can be spared from
Virginia and North Carolina, the Western States
are about swept of their old tobacco, and the
known and admitted shortness of the crop in
Kentucky and Missouri. leads us to the conclusion
that we will have a brisk market for tobacco the
coming season, at fair and remuneratiye prices,
particularly for heavy rich shippers and leaf sui
table fer manufacturers.

III DISPATCHES OF The ASSOCIATED PRESS.


WASHINGTON. Feb. l9.-Private dispatches to
Government officials announce that treaty was
entered into last month. between France and Aus
tria. for the immediate withdrawal of the French
forces from Mexico. and their replacement BY
troops to the number Of 100000. to be furnished
by the Austrian Government Thesesoldiers Aus
tra it is said proposes to raise by volunteering in
Belgium and Hungary. and transportation for
them and tie necessary stores, until they are land
ed in Mexico. are to be furnished by Napoleon
There wasa Cabinet meeting at 10 o'clock this
morning. and no visitors were admitted. Mean
time the report prevailed that the business for
which the President called the Cabinet together
has reference to the amendatory Freedmen's Blu
reau bill. 1t seems, from present appearances.
that Congress and the country will not be much
longer kept in suspense as to his action upon that
measure.
Twenty-four hours have worked wonderful
change in public expectation here, concerning the
Presidents opinion of the Freedmen's Bureau
bill. Nearly every one now comedies that he will
return it, with his objections. The most favorable
hope entertained by the Radicals seems to be that
these objections may be so unimportant that Con-
gress can modify it until it commands his ap-
proyal.
The resignation Of Secretary Harlan is the cur
rent topic of conversation. He is known to have
expressed to Western Congressman, of his po-
itical persuasion, his intention net to remain in
Office much longer. Those who are in the most
eligible position for understanding the Presidents
mind upon the subject, assume that he is only
awaiting the ostracism Of Tennessee as o State
which is evidently the plan of the Reconstruction
Committee. to invite such of hecabinet ministers
as are in known accordance with that decision. to
vacate their places.
A dispatch received in Washington last night
from New Orleans, announcing that Gen. A. Clay
Crawford. the Bagdad illibuster, had escaped
from the fort in which he was confined. His con-
federate had been released ON parole.
Dispatches received from Gen. Sheridan state
that everything goes on well on the Rio Grande.

A NEGRO KILLED AT SPRINGHILL.-We
learn that difficulty occurred at Springhill,
Maury Co., on Saturday last between James
McKissick, young man of that place, and
a negro man, which resulted in the death Of
the latter from wound inflicted with a
pistol by the former. According TO the in
formation given us by gentleman from the
immediate neighborhood with whom we
conversed, the difficulty originated in an as
sault on the part Of the negro upon little
boy, the brother ofMr. McKissick Aquarrel
having thus ensued, the negro is reported TO
have drawn his stick, when he was shot by
Mr.. McKissick. The matter will, Of course,
undergo investigation.

Mss KATE REIeSoLDs.-This eminent
theatrical artistic, commenced an engagement
at the Old Theatre last night, appearing in
the plays Of The Wonder, and Anthony and
Cleopatra. To those Of the audience who
witnessed her struggles on the same boards
for histrionic fame in the beginning Of her
career, her success was especially gratifying.
This may be said to be her birth place as an
actress, and our old citizens have witnessed
her growth and progress here and abroad,
with satisfaction. In her maturity they may
well take full share of Just pride Many
regarded her then with hopeful admiration,
who now applaud her with sincerity in her
triumphs. Her renditions last night were
all that her most partial friends could have
desired. Natural, beautiful and correct, she
delighted alike her old and new acquain-
tances.
1t is due, no less to the old habitaes ef the
Theatre, than TO one whom they may call
their favorite child, that her present engage
ment be made not only a success, but a
complete triumph. The house should be
filled to overlooking every night during her

PRIZE FIGHT.-It is not usual TO notice
heading Of this kind in the Nashville papers,
but the city is evidently improving, and new
outlets are sought for the energy Of the pre-
sent generation. A prize fight occurred yes
terday, at 2 p. NJ, near the Nashville and
Louisville Railroad, about a mile from the
city, in Edgefeld, between Richard Negley
and Dan. Donnegan. We are informed that
the parties had been in training for some
time, and that the weight Of the former was
10 and that Of the latter l40 pounds Don
negan is from Canada, and Negley from
Connecticut. About $50 persons were pre-
sent 10 witness the contest. Our information
does not extend to all the minutie of the
combat, but we learn that at the 18th round
Donnegan was declared victor.

bic was placed across the river yesterday,
making five in all. Only three more cables
are TO be put in position, and when that is
done the remainderof the work will be COM
paratively easy. These cables are made in
Edgefeld, and the other three might be laid
this week, but all the cables are not yet FIN
ished. II is expected that the bridge will
be completed by the lst of May next. This
bridge bids fair TO be much more substan-
tial than the old one, which was removed
by order of the Confederate authorities on
the approach Of the Federal forces after the
battle Of Fort Donelson.

GUERRILLA TO BE HANGED.-Same ac-
count has heretofore been published in some
Of the Western newspapers, Of guerrilla,
named Samuel o. Berry. The following is
an abstract Of a military court martial order
received in this city yesterday, from Louis
vile. This man is commonly known as
0ne-armed Berry, and has been sentenced by
military commission convened at the
headquarters of Gen. Palmer, at Louisville,
20 be hung by the neck until he is dead, on
the I'd day of March next. He is said to
have been connected with Jerome Clarke,
alias Sue Munday, name not unknown to
the military police. Charges were brought
against Berry for fourteen separate cases Of
murder, besides other crimes. The military
commission, of which Gen. jeff c. Davis is
President, has sentenced him to be hung on
the day above mentioned, and the officer
commanding the military prison at Louis
Vile is charged with the execution.

THE SrREErs.-The thoroughfares of this
city are at present in an exceedingly bad
condition, owing 20 the recent heavy storm.
We were pleased yesterday to see a large
number OF workmen vigorously employed in
cleaning some of the Streets yet some i'm
provements might be made which would
obviate many of the difficulties under
which the city is now laboring. In New
York city and other large towns, kind Of
pavement is used which renders the work of
cleaning the streets comparatively easy.
The Street Committee, we are aware, have
resolved TO do all in their power TO improve
the various thoroughfares of the city, but we
think that some sort Of grading, superior TO
that now in use, might be laid, which would
greatly improve the appearance Of the city.
As it is, after every heavy storm, large
body of men have to be employed 10 clear
the streets from the mud and filth thereby
accumulated. We feel confident that some
thing Of the kind will be done; and il il il,
the Street Committee will receive the thanks
Of the community.

THE Broadway Varieties, which were sold
on last Saturday for $500 to j. ID. Strader,
we understand are still to be used as con-
cert saloon. The performances are continued
as usual every night, and il may be that
