It il with qualification we state that the
more ,labori"us and intelligent fr eednen
have everywhere gone seriously to work
for themselves and others by hiring them
selves to their former owners, in most
instances, or to other planters. The at
tention which they give to the reading of
their contracts of lease or hire, is proef
sufficient that they mean TO work in.

already hard at work, and are ii far aI-

following: - -
The market seems 81 ghtly with the movement
in the gold market. The sub-treasury on Satur-
day and yesterday sold about i've millions Of gold
1t 1874, whish Temporarily takes nearly seven mil
lions Of currency into the sub Treasury and 20 far
diminished the supply Of money for loans. All
the demands Of the street, however, are mot st six
per cent The chief purchassrs Of the gold were ths
few benkers who had sold freely during the late
Decline and have replenished their stock 1t lower
rates. There 10 . disposition among the foreign
houses to hold themselves ready for any necessity
to ship specie and for this the sale alluded
to will not materially relieve the market. The
bear interest still predominates in the stock mar
ket. The late increase in earnings has not estab-
irhed any really settled improvement Of confidence.
The feeling ON the street however, is becoming
more strongly speculative.
Government stocks continue in steady demand
from investors. The improvement of quotations
for 520s at London reported BY the last steamer,
has DO effect upon quotations here, the decline in
gold being more than an Offset against the change.
Discounts are quiet. The supply OF paper is
moderate and enquiry limited. Prime names pass
ia per cent; good names, three and four months,
are current at S09 per cent; for lower grades the
quotations are very irregular.
The market for Foreign Exchange is dull, the
advance in the rates having checked buying.

ces for which have correspon ingy advanced. The

"OBsERv Err" of the Springfield Journal,
was one of the passengers on the train from
Clayton TO this place on that fearful Wednes-
day. He tells how it was done after the train
had finally stuck in some ten feet depth OF
snow:
The work of clearing away the snow from
the engine was commenced, which, at this
time. was up to the smoke stack. Sointense
and severe was the storm that it froze the
mems eyelids together. and for every shovel
full of snow thrown out, three came in its
place. This being the case, all further work
Of extricating was abandoned, and we re-
solved to wait our chances. Fortunately for
US, the little village of Bentley was close al
hand, which afforded US shelter and comfort.
Here we passed the remainder of the day,
thinking Of the dear ones at home, and OF
those so unfortunate to be caught out in the
storm.
Passing the night at Mr.. Testers, (who will
please accept our thanks) we awoke to find
the mercury 81 degrees below zero. The
work of digging out the train was commenced,
which was accomplished about / clock.
In short time two powerful locomotives
hove in sight, armed with snow plows, and
with the assistance of some fifty hants, the
train was got out and switched of on the
\ side track. The locomotives continued or
! the work of opening the road to keokuk
which was no small task, having to penetrate
II and Is feet of snow, at many places, before
reaching keokuk. The various railroad com
panies deserve great credit for their promp
and efficient aid in opening communication
and alternating, as much as possible, the pas
sengers.
