MY young friend, have you prayed tonight
Tor the salvation of your immortal soul ?"
mo, sir" answered the youth, in peniten-

do you not desire to offer up thanks for
the many mercies you have already received
by Divine favor?"
Yes, but don't KIN wv how," hesitatingly
answered the youth.
But, my dear boy, you can repeat the pub

13n Our town for the past week has been very quiet commercially; but politically rath- CT lively. On Tuesday the election was a subject of much concern to some, who were very busy wondering which candidate would be the favorite, and whether or not conven- tion no convention would carry the day,
 which facts they learned on Wednesday even ing when the polls were closed, after two days balloting. During the election, every thing was much more orderly than could have been expected, any where else than in our own quiet we'll behaved Des Arc. Indeed, we heard one gentleman, a stranger, remark that we had the most orderly town he had ever seen; that it was the first time he ever saw two days election held without disorderly manifestations of some kind. Of course the negroes being allowed for the first time the privileges of freemen many things happened which were rather Imaginable; but it must be said they wore their honors easily. The re- suit of the election which will be found else where in our columns disappointed some, while it pleased others, and for the past two days has been the general theme of conversa- tion on the streets Besides this election, nothing unusual has occurred; business con- tinues rather dull, owing principally to the low prices of cotton; which fact makes many shake their heads as they look forward to the consequent scarcity of money next summer.

To the Cotton Planters of West Tennessee, Alabama, Missis- sippi and Arkansas:

The undersigned respectfully tenders his services as agent for the sale of your cotton in this city, and for the purchase of your sup
 plies. The unfortunate termination of tho late war, which so materially affected the best interests of the South, has also had it's effect upon the Commission Business of this city, | ss transacted between planter and mere hant. You doubtless well remember with what per tinacity (previous to the war), amounting in some instances to annoyance, you were soli- cited for your business at the rate of fifty cents per bale commission, free of drayage, and stored for twelve months without charge. Then Gas will be again. the producer was the ruling element, and high rents, rich landlords and merchants were the result of planters patronage. No people or occupation have been more seriously prostrated than planters and planting, and none so much deserve to be fostered and aided in their unfortunate changed condition. How that aid 80 much needed has been meted out you opine too well know. Onerous government taxes in general, and special tax upon your leading production, Cotton, large profits you have had to pay upon supplies furnished, commissions on sales ranging from S 50 to $5 per bale, monthly storage at exorbitant prices and other expenses, os per reference to your &C., count sales, as a sum total will leave you but little if anything upon which to rebuild your shattered fortunes, or to compete with the new order of affairs-free labor. When I withdrew from the Cotton and Commission Business in 1860, private reasons then led me to believe that I would never engage in it again. The solicitations of many friends that were former patrons, and desire to promote the interest of the planting community. 80 far as my feeble efforts can do so and the apparent want of gratitude exhibited to a community that in times past tended so ma terially to the prosperity of Memphis and its mercantile community, has determined mo again to offer my services in the capacity as stated. The reduced stock of cottons in the United States and short sudplies in the hands of New England manufacturers has caused some advance in prices from the late depres- sion, bence early sales may be prudent and remuneratiye; such was the case the past two seasons. and many planters have had cause to regret the acting upon the too common prac tice of holding and drawing upon their cot tons. I would advise no planter to send for ward his cotton unless he wished it sold upon the first active market. It can be held at home much cheaper than in Memphis. My charges for selling cotton will be One Dollar per bale. Assurances effected in all cases if not instructed to the contrary. Shall buy your supplies from wholesale houses. giving you the benefit of same. In short, by strict attention to all the departments of our busi-. ness, l hope to merit g large share of patron age.

The Cleveland Herald, Radical, makes the following admission, why the amendment in Ohio was lost There is one feature in the defeat of this amendment which deserves considera- tion. We have been very much deceived in that voice,as we thought the amend ment would fall through indirec- tion-that is, the failure to vote either way would defeat it. But the result shows that the noes have it by the sound:' that it is defeated by direct votes against it, showing that it was lost not because men did not care enough about the question to vote upon it but because they are opposed to it.
