NM meeting then adjourned.

WHOLESALE TRADE OF MEMPHIS.
We desire 10 direct the attention Of coun-
try merchants, from every portion Of this
and the adjoining States, to the rspidly
increasing facilities OF the large whole
sale houses Of this city for furnishing
goods nearly, if not quite As eheaply a.
the Eastern and Western cities, 70 which
they annually make one or two pilgrim
ages, when, on an impartial examina-
ton, they may perhaps find II more to
their interest to purchase nearer home,
and at the same time assist In building
mp q great business mart eOnsentently
neal their own homes, aud always seees-
sible in a few hours. We are perfectly
sure thstprints Of aIlkiRds can be bought
in Memphis, to-day, at one or two cents
less than the same goods are selling in
New York, aud the quantity and variety
on hand afford a stock FROM which We
believe almost any taste can be amply
satisfied. Do not listen, then, 10 any
Clique who would persuade you to 60 10
Eastern cities for goods, but defer your
journey at least until you have examined
the excellent supplies Of all kinds now
in store in Memphis.

on DeSoto street about seven o'clock
Tuesday night 10y ONE parties unknown,
who entered a gentlemsns house and alb
stracted from the rack in the hall a shawl,
an overcoat and several hats; and not
satisfied with this rather liberal haul,
took away the front door key, doubtless
in order to repeat the visit on some future
occasion.

pose Of alternating, TO the extent Of their

ample TO be of much avail, they feel jus-
titled in calling for liberal assistance upon

ing and sorrow. They, therefore. re-
spectfuily aud earnestly invite contribu-
lions of all sorts to Che end In view

The Pru si.n "Needle" Gun.

As this weapon, which was referred to in the
telegraphic dispatches published on yesterday.
will in all probability be frequently mentioned
during the course OF the present European war.
q few words In description Of it's plan and princi
pies will not be out of place.
The cartridge used in the "Needle' gun ia m made
OF stiff card board, the ball. powder and explosive
composition being contained in one and the same
cylinder. Its great popularity is that the deto-
mating powder is placed Immediately in re of
the base OF the ball and between it and the pow-
der.
The advantage OF this is, that whom the powder
is ignited that portion next the ball in which com
bustion is first perfected exerts ita full force upon
influence, as it becomes almost simultaneously ,i
ignited. Under the pre- sent system, In which that
part OF the powder next to the breech Of the gun
is first ignited, portion Of the powder is fre-
quently expelled from the gun with the ball in a
siye force OF the powder first consumed being
adequate to e1pef the ball and the powder in its
front before the whole charge has time to be-
come entirely ignited. Thus IN the ''Needle" gun
best effect, and 80 as to obtain it's fullest force at
the same instant and in the same direction
:, The Needle gun is q breech-toader; and when
the trigger Is pulled, stout "needle" or wire is
with it's axis, into the detonating charge by the
ball. causing Its explosion and the ignition or the
cartridge.
In accuracy the 'Needle" gun cannot be sur-
passed, and it's effective range Is said to be about
aiteen hundred yards. It is, however, doubtful
whether L. will be found to bear with impunity the
necessarily rough treatment Of an active cam
paign.
The Prussian Jagers and sharpshooters gene
rally are armed with this formidable weapop1 and
upon q skirmsh line, when it can be nsed with
care and delberation 1T must prove highly efec-
tive.-Richnaond Times.

CorToN FnEs.-A SUGGESTION IN RELATION TO
THE HANDLING OF CorToN.-A gentleman at Eu.
fauls. Ala, Of wide experience in the handling and
insurance Of cotton, and having unusua facilities
Tor observation In regard to that STAPLE states it
as his conviction that the defective covering OF
the bales sent to market from the interior since
the close OF the rebellion has been prolific cause
OF the cotton fires. he says "the bales are gen.
orally made 80 heavy that the bagging intending
to cover them cannot reach round In some cases
more than two-thirds, leaving the exposed part
an easy prey to the incendiary or accidental spark
The resources Of planters are stil slender, and
rope and bagaing, storage and freight are higher.
We may expect to see this bad practice still more
generally adopted the coming season.n He sue-
gestn as one remedy, "that the insurance compa.
MES, fire and marine, agree to take no risks upon
cotton when the bales exceed 400 lbs. each. or
such other weight as will secure it's being entirely
and perfectly covered Buyers would give such
cotton the preference, snce it only could be in
sured, and the result Of such action would be for
