The New York Post OF the afternoon Of
the 23d inst. says;
"The money market continues to work
with extreme ease. Ca governments cali
loans are still quoted at BOA per cent; on
miscellaneous railway collaterals at 5(g6
per cent. In the discount line there IL a
little more activity. Since the last quar-
terly statement there has been general eX-
pectation on the part of banks and money
lenders of higher rates, which has prevented
any large business in discounts. For iew
DAYS past this feeling seems to have been
losing ground, and there is more disposition
to discount short paper at the prevailing
rates. First class Endorsed bills are "a fol-
lows: Sixty days or under, 5GGj4 per cent;
three to four months, GG64 per cent; I've
to six months, 64(G7 per cent"
In regard to the strength Of prices Of rail-
road shares the Post says:
"The strength Of prices in the railway
market appears to be attributable rather 70
the persistent support Of the wealthy cliques
controlling the leading stocks, than to Any
apecial intrinsic causes in the roads them
selves. While it Is true that the earnings
of the railways are large, and that the eK-
pected abundant harVests warrant the
promise of large railroad freights in the
latter months of the year, yet it Is believed
that these earnings, present and prospective,
have been discounted 10 the present high
prices and that should the cliques, by
reason of an active money market, be forced
to unburden any considerable portion Of
their load, a sharp and sudden decline would

Southern Life Insurance Company of


We call the attention Of our readers 10
the card of the Southern Life INSURANCE
Company, published in this issue of the
Appeal: 81
It is unnecessary to do more than point
to the organization and the list of officers
and directors, yet flattering ourselves that
our paper is known by many who do not
know some of the names connected with
the company, we will say few words.
Mr.. Woodruff, the President, not nOmi-
nally, but active, and devoting his time to
the duties of his Office, has made reputa-
tion enough as a successful business man,
land since the war President of the Mem
phis and Ohio Railroad Company TO re-
tire on it if he so wished. a.
Ben. May, the Secretary, is one of our
oldest and most successful Underwriters,
az is attested by his position as President
of the Memphis Board of Underwriters.
The Assistant Secretary, Mr. Patterson, is
thoroughly competent for the responsible
duties devolving upon him.
T. A. Nelson, Esq, President of the
Chamber of Commerce, and Col. Frank
White, President of the Mississippi and
Tennessee railroad, are Vice Presidents of
the company. .s. .-.
The patrons of The company may we'll
congratulate themselves upon such promise
as such a Board of Inspectors guarantees.
After two years Of struggle, the company
has passed the crisis, and enters the third
year with more than ample capital, and
surplus and prospects bright and fiattering.
The arrangement just perfected in Ken
lucky, Georgia and the Carolinas, and the
management in snch hands, means business,
and explodes the idea that Southern enter
prise must necessarily fail and fall 10 the
ground.
1t is the solemn duty Of every man to in-
sure his life, and all things being equal, it
is no less his duty to patronize his own in
stitutions and keep his money at home, and
thus enrich his own section. We do not
hesitate to say that it is an impossibility,
either here or elsewhere, TO get the same
number of business names together, better
entitled TO credit and confidence. They
are determined on one point, and that is, to
test our Southern people, and see if they
will patronize a Southern institution, and
10 the case of the Southern Life, they offer
the opportunity upon the naked question of
equal ability. Those Of our citizens who
have heretofore sympathized, but stood
back, fearing the enterprise an experiment,
can now come forward and help build up,
by insuring in their own home institutions.
Memphis Appeal, July %. E T.
Ex-Mayor Brown, of this city, is the
general agent of this company for Middle
and East Tennessee and North Alabama.

Over three thousand names have been al
ready subscribed 10 the petition to Governor
Brownlow, desiring his consideration Of our
prayers. The roll is now at the office Of
Hon. w. Matt Brown, Of the Southern Life
Insurance Company, North Cherry street
On the list we find the names Of large
number Of leading Radicals, ex-ofiicers Of
the United States armies, government, State,
county and city officials, together with 4
number over two hundred and fifty colored
men. The people Of Nashville and Of
Tennessee propose remembering with graft
tude every single, solitary name on that
roll. No brighter fame, in our estimation,
could be made than the simple signing Of
that petition, which, If successful, will
break the acCursed bonds Of slavery ADD
set us aloose once more as free men and

Il uNFoRTUNATE OCcURREECE.-The. G,
A. Thcaspzon, which left Cincinnati Thus
day night win two barges railroad irou ID
tow, destined for Evansville, and to be used
in the construction of the EsansvilIe, Han
dersOn and Nashville railroad, struck the
stem Of one Of them on the point of rocks
at Gallons rifle, IA the Ohio river below.
Cincinnati, butapparensly without damage.
Afterwards, however il was discovered that
the barge was filling with water, and an ex-
amlnahon showed that the butts had been
sprung. An effort was made to land the
barge, just below MedOc, and above the
mouth OF the Miami, but il fell to pieces,
and sunk IN seven feet water. 1t did not
strike Medoc bar. The barge was worth
$500, and insured for $1,000 in the Office
OF the Merchants of Cincinnati, and the
kenton, Of Covington. The iron was valued
st SlOOOO, and will mostly be recovered.
UNEXPECTED BAPTIsM.-Passing down
the alley that leads from Market to Front
street, yesterday afternoon Just before sun
set, and while in therear of the St. Charles
Hotel our local received severe ducking
from pitcher of water in the hands of q
Hibernian ohambermaid, who poked her
bIssted pate out Of the third-story window
aud failed TO look before she let drive. Cool,
clear river water is a good thing in
its place, especially TO people who have
never been baptized. But, fortunately,
we have once gone through that ceremony.
We forgive her; but take warniug--iuok
before you dash, next time, old lady. - 4 7
INTERESTING TO RIVER MEN.-In the
report to the Senate respecting bridging
the Western rivers, is a letter from General
Warren, in which he presents an estimate
of the cost of bridge with 500 foot span
the bridge, with piers, to be 1850 feet long.
1t will be perceived that he estimstes the
cost at figures much below the general inn
preston of the costs of such structures.
He says:
Ny Investigations satisfy me thai railroad
bridge spans can be built of 800 and even
600 feet in length without resorting to the
suspension plan, against which, however,
think only unreasonable objections exist.
In the last few years q great increase in our
