Memphig and Her Merebants.

Next to the trade Of own little city it is
our purpose to foster and add our mite to
that Of the prosperous city Of Memphis Il
is natural that our endeayors be put forth in
this direction, as common interests are en-
volved We are pauonized by Memphis
merchants and business men generally, and
in return bot do our duty when we strive to
introduce to our readers the stauneh hoases
of those who patronize home enterprise.
And just here we wish to drop a word to
those who are accustomed to make long and
expensive trips to the eastern States IN or
der to procure supplies for their humorous
customers. 1t has often been said that this
step was necessary, owing to the fact that if
goods were purchased in Memphis the buyer
would be compelled to pay a per eentage to
a third party in some respects this may be
true, but it does not hold good in all cases
There are houses in Memphis, and many Of
them too, that make direct importation from
European manufacturers, who pay cash for
their supplies, and in return demand cash
from purchasers These houses can and do

We were trying to live among ourselves and
sustain one another Old things have been
done away, and as natural consequence,
new ones must follow Let the importing
houses Of NJ emphis be encouraged by mer-
chants who wish to see the South recover
from the losses she sustained in the past un-
happy strife. Our peculiar producing in
stitution has been wrested from us by the
very men who we are now supporting, and
it becomes us to encourage every branch of
business that viii tend to brighten up our
own commercial prosperity and thus alleviate
the pecuniary embarrassment everywhere
experienced in the South Memphis is the
natural outlet for this section of country.
her merchants are ever ready to assist the
planting and jobbing interests; why then
should we not reciprocate Competition

trade of Memphis increases, just SO fastwil
it be beneficial to our prosperity generally

MEDES, Tenn, Oct 3Otb, 1866.
TO the Editor Of the Bolirar Bulletin;
SIR: have just finished hurried read
ing Of a late work written by Mrs. Mary J.
Holmes, and published in New York, by
Carleton The book is called Hugh Worth
ington 1t is a tolerable specimen Of Van
kee female literature; spiced with Puritan
ism, and mandy pamby sentimentality
The chief objection have against this as
pirant for literary notoriety is the venom
she splits upon jefferson Davis, on the last
page Of her pretentious bantling, Such con
temptible twaddIe is unworthy of public
recognition from any respectable source, if
it did not unfold the coil Of the snake and
evolve the venomous malice of northern sen
timent towards the fallen and powerless
chief of the lost cause The forum, the
pulpit, the rostrum, the press, the lecturer,
the preacher, the editor, the political harle-
,quin and the delicate women, "Tray, Blanche
and Sweetheart" all join in pouring abusive
epithets upon man who sits and gazes
through the iron bars of his dungeon home,
powerless to rebuke or to defend. How vast
the magnanimity Of such conduct How
generous and noble the minds who thus ex-
haust the babbling tongues of earth to tram
pie on a helpless man. Jefferson Davis is
the highest type of a Southern man; chris
tian gentleman; his towering genius stored
with the rich and eXbaustless treasures of
knowledge garnered from the affairs of clas-
-, r
every age and every cline, warrior, a
statesman, the future and the past of our
national history CLEAN with his deeds and
blend with his destiny We love him for
his suHerings, honor him for his courage,
manliness and devotion Out of the depths
Of a wounded soul we can only breathe
plying prayer for the woman who would I'M
sex herself and join in the fierce and re-
lentIess persecution which Christless fanati-
cism is pouring upon the deienseless brow
and bleeding heart Of our imprisoned chief
Shall we, as Southern people, patronize a
northern press and fatten the vanity of Pu-
ritan scribblers, and pay them, aye REGARD
them for thus abusing the man whose only
fault is, we crowned him as the representa-
tive of a principle, and honored him as the
