OPENING OF TRADE WITH WEST TEN
NEssEE.-The completion of the Nashville
end Northwestern railroad to the Missis-
sippi river, has already given a new i'm
pulse to trade from the counties lying be-
tween the Tennessee and Mississippi riv-
ers. At a private boarding house on
Church street few days since, there were
seventeen merchants and traders from that
part Of the State, who were here for the
purpose Of purchasing supplies These
persons formerly went to Memphis or toSt.
Louis and Louisville. If our merchants
will only cultivate that field they will find
that it will yield them a rich harvest.

The Chinese doctor sells his med icine as well as prescribes it, He tells his customers what he thinks best for them or their friends, but is very fie quently the case that they make the sc lection. For instance, he may make up prescription of ten or thirty remedies to be compounded, when the question will arise how much is this to costY The phy- slcian makes as low an estimate as possi ble. and replies. The patient or friend may think it too high, that it cannot be afforded; and one article or another is thrown out to reduce the cost--often the article of most valuable to the patient. In some cases they cannot agree on pre- scription or it's price, and the patient de- liberately gives himself up to die rather than pay che price demanded.

CfrCuiar.-The undersigned takes this as one of the methods to inform his friends, as will be seen from the shove card, that he has formed Il copartnerihip for the purpose of doing sn exclusive commission business, In doing so he thanks his friends for all past fayors, and asks for a continuance of the same by consignment of their cotton aud other produce from one dozen eggs up to one thou sand bales of cotton. Our Mir. Nevils has had long experience in the selling of cotton, &c., and is considered one of the,best cotton sales men in the city. pledge myself that all things that may be entrusted to us shall have my personal attention and shall be promptly and correctly attended to, and..strctly account ed for. As firm we owe nothing, and we have entered into an obligation not to endorse nor accept for any one unless we have the cotton Sc in hand. That being our policy, we will in no case have to sell one mans cot ton to pay another mans debt to keep from going to protest. Having been citizen of Arkansas for the last ten years, and having had large acquaintance in the Confederate army. l tiatter myself that we shall receive liberal share of patronage, and that shall yet be able to make living, and with that am determined to be satisfied.

- the Mobile Times says that, on "Wednesday morning, while three la dies were passing up St. Emanuel street on their way home, they were approach ed by negro named Richard Branch, who, throwing his arms around one of them, remarked: 'I have fallen in love with you!" The ladies, being very much frightened, ran into house near by, the negro pursuing, and calling out to them that if they did not stop, he would knock their d--d heads off. For tunately, an officer coming up, the ne- gro was arrested and taken to the guardhouse. He resisted the arrest, and assistance had to be called, it re- quiring three policemen to carry him along.

How to Make Good Coffee.

Good coffee is luxury, but one that is seldom met with. It is doubtful whether one family in dozen knows what good coffee is. Though we have published 'line upon line" upon this subject, we give the following from lady correspon- dent of the Germantown Telegraph, and hope some of our lady friends will give the method recommended a trial, and re- port to us the results:
 "The making of good coffee is rare thing in this country; most persons boil it, thus making decoction instead of an infusion; this efectually getting rid ofthe delicate and agreeable aromatic flavor, and leaves comparatively tasteless beverage. The following particulars will be found worth attention:
 Never buy your coffee ground, but grind it yourself, immediately before using it; keep your coffee pot, whatever kind you may use, wiped dry and clean and dry in side; damp tea or coffee pot acquires a musty flavor that spells the best tea CT coffee. The cheapest and perhaps the lsest coffee pots are those made on the i'rcnch plan, called cafetiers. If you fave not one of these, adopt the following ~n: Put your freshly ground coffee into : ' coffee pot, previously made warm, and ] "ur upon 1t water actually boiling; set ,he pot by the fire for few seconds, but '.u not let it boil up; then pour a cupful out aud return it back again to the pot in olGer to clear it; having done this, let it stand on the hob or center to settle, and 1n less than five minutes a transparent. strong, aromatic cup of coffee may be poured out. The proportions of coffee fwhich should not be teo finely ground ) recommended, arc an ounce to . pint or a pint and half of water.
 "The milk used with coffee should al ways be boiled and used as hot as possi- ble; the boiling of milk imparts peculiar and exceedingly pleasant flavor to the coffee. White sugar is recommended, as the molasses-lik flavor of moist sugar quite overpowers the delicate aroma"

4 Bic TnING.-The Illinois State Register says that an old man. standing on the street, in Springfield, the other day, addressing crowd on the subject of politics, said, when asked what he thought of the negro that he thought the "nigger big thing" He said he had lived to see the nigger break up the old Whig party to which he belonged; had seen him divide and distract the Democratic party; had seen him cause terrible civil war; had seen him break up the white mans Union, and has recently seen him cause the defeat of the Republican party in Pennsylvania and Ohio and hoped to live to see him defeat, ruin and annihilate the Radicals in the Presidential election next year.

Church Behavior.

We invite the attention of the many whom It does concern to the communica- tion signed "Plain Talk" It contains nothing but truth, though clad in homely garb, and the plain but honest writer has nothing in view save the correction of a habit as general as it is rude and unseen. iy. Complaints are heard from all guar ters of this annoying department, no: on- ly in church, but wherever crowds are gathered to hear or see. Quiet and re spectable demeanor in public seems to be a hard lesson to learn, yet we hope this hint will not only be taken in good part, but be productive of good results
 MEssRs. EDITORS: The reason why most people go to church--at least the younger portion-is to see one another They don't go there to hear what the preacher has to say, and when the sermon is over six out of ten don't know what the text was. In church you will see little boys and girls looking at each other, laughing and making signs, youcan see it from eight year old children up to grown persons. You will see crowd of boys talking in Sunday school or church One will say to the other: "Do you see that gal over there2 Ain't she pretty? That is my sweetheart--ain't she dressed nice? --ain't she got pretty hair? Look, how nice she's got it fixed up! Ain't she got pretty hat?"
 The gal says: "You see that fellow sit ting over there? He's a nice one, ain t he?"

A gentleman from Forsyth, Ca, who travelled

very gloomy report of the cotton crop in the two

saw wero flooded by the recent incessant rains and
the cotton destroyed Many Of the streams were
impossible, compelling him to seek route around
them.
The crops in the other three counties wore not 30

Decatur especially. We have made dilligent in

to be generally conceded that the rains, caterpillar

been able to gather, is reliable statement Sugar
