Since our last issue there has been consid-
cradle excitement manifested in the money
market To-day one week ago gold closed
in New York at something over 65 cents
on Monday at y H., It was quoted at 593,
and has been very unsteady ever since, as
the late kilograms inform as that yesterday s
Quotation were AZ cents and unsteady. The
impending war with Europe Is doubtless
the cause of all this furry, and, it is asserted
by some who are accounted among the know
ing ones, that should hostilities actually
commence, that gold viii 90 up to two for

tire correctness of thisw are not able to
speak, bat of one thing feel assured, and
that is, if the great war cloud which is at this
time gathering over entire Europe should
suddenly burst forth, rapid rise may
reasonably be expected. Below, we give the

GALA DAY AT NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,

GALA Day AT esterday,
one week ago, the little village of Wbiteville,
Give miles west of this place, was the scene
f a very pleasant gathering Of the goodly
people who inhabit that portion of our county.
ct was the occasion Of the closing exercises
Of the male and female school located there,
and over which Mr.. w f. Price and Mr. G.
w. Hardin have presided so satisfactorily
to all concerned. When we arrived at the
academy we found the building densely
crowded with ladies and gentlemen, many of
whom, we noticed, were citizens of our town.
The scholars acquitted themselves hand
somely, indeed, many Of the classes that we
heard examined in the various primary de-
partments, exhibited a wonderful familiarity
with their studies, and especially was this
the case with the class in geography. At
noon the exercises were suspended, and all
present were invited to dine off the sumptu-
Gus repast which had been prepared. Dinner
being over, the bell was rang, and again the
sehoolroom was filled to its utmost capacity.
During the afternoon, by appointment, our
fellow-townsman, Maj. J. b. Dennis, appeared
upon the stand, and after being introduce
to the audience, by the principal Of the
school, delivered chaste and well-timed adj
dress Ills remarks were listened to with
marked attention, and elected hearty en-
core from the vast assembly. As soon as
the Major had vacated the stand the exer-
cises were again resumed, the scholars as
before, answering all questions promptly. In
the evening Mr.. Price delivered lively
speech in the most happy manner. The music
was excellent; Miss Lucy Whkerson, and
Jtre Philharmonic Society, of Bolivar, were
there, as also was Prof Millen, of Somer
Vile. Before closing this brief mention o.
the features Of the day, we cannot refrair
from noticing the pretentions Of young Blu
ford, to oratorical honors This young gen
tleman, during the examination, spoke twice
and each time won the applause of his hear
ers he has an unGaltering voice. good mem
DRY, and utters his words with precision
that would do honor to one far more &C
quainted with the difficult task of delivering
an eloquent Grafton. 1t was long after mid
night before the school-room was emptied 0
the beauty and gallantry which had assem-
bled there from every direction: and, ha
they-the young ladies and gentlemen-beel
allowed to trip the light fantastic toe, as the
desired to do, in all probability old Sol woul
have flung sheen of gold over the dar
green tops of the huge oak trees that forr
such beautiful shade around the old acad
envy ere their forms grew weary or thei
yves waxed dim. Take it all in all, it was
pleasant and long-to-be remembered occ,
sion, and we hope to see its like again,

HEROIC DEED.-A few days since young
lady, daughter of one of our best citizens,
came very near meeting with a most serious
occurrence. She was seated in a buggy
alone, when the horse attached became fright
5ened, near the depot, and started of at a
break neck speed. Mr.. Tom. Joyner, on the
instant sprang forward, and selling the lady,
lifted her from her perilous seat, or perhaps
we should have been forced to chronicle a
fsad misfortune indeed The horse dashed
furiously forward, oapsizcd the buggy, and
smashed it up generally

THE LEGIsLATUEE.-Pars Brownlow, the
so-called Governor Of Tennessee, has issued
a proclamation, and urges upon the pretend
ing personages who style themselves the rep
resentatives Of the people, to meet at the
capitol on the 4th day of July next, for the
purpose Of transaeting extraordinary bust
ness, as he says he believes that Tennessee
is going to be admitted into the Union right
away, and desires to have the legislature act
upon the following beautiful points
l. Equal protection of all citizens in the
enjoyment of life, liberty and property.
2. That classes who are DISTINGUISHED shall
not be taken into account in fixing the basis
OF Federal representation.
3. That certain. persons who have proved
themselves dangerous to the peace Of the
country shall not be eligible to office
l. The validity of the national debt shall
not be questioned, while all debts incurred
IN and OF rebellion are illegal and void. As
to the dlsloyal portion of our people, these
/ terms are mild in the extreme 1t is hoped
that there IS nothing in them repugnant to
the sentiments of the loyal, or if there be
that all objections viii be yielded upon the
altar OF our common country"
OF course they viii assemble. and do iust
as the " Governor says.
