LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

REVENUES OF THE CITY.-The revenues OF
city should be collected promptly, and
vied to the extinction OF the floating in
sedness. The city treasurer, Mr.. How
recommended to the Board Of Assistant
srmen lately, among other propositions,
collection Of the personal tax assessed
1865 as soon as the bills are ready, instead
collecting them eighteen months after
assessment is made. This is an excels
b proposition, and, if adopted, will add
d hundred thousand dollars to the re-
ve Of the current year.
II also recommends the levying Of a
s.is tax on real estate to the amount of
pei cent for the years 1868 and 1869.

SUDDEN DEATH OF A TRAV-
ELER.

.
We are informed that q stranger, trsv-
cling on foot toward Memphis, last
Thursday morning, was taken with a
congestive chill at Black Fish Bayou,
snd died in the course of an hour after
being taken. He was heard to hail the
ferryman by party of gentlemen who
were fishing in the bayou, and on COM
ing ashore half hour later, they found
him lying in the shade and evidently
far gone in congestion. Mrs. Booker,
who lives near by, had him removed inn
mediately to her house, where every
thing possible was done for him. Before
becoming unconscious, he stated that his
name was John W. Singleton, of Mis-
slssippi, that he had been at work in Ar
kansas, and was then on his way to
Memphis. No further information rela-
tive to his history or residence could be
cleaned from him. He appeared to be 8
man of twenty-seven to thirty years OF
age, and of medium size. The remains
were decently inferred by Mr.. Booker, of
Black Fish, who will give any further
information that he may possess, to any
friend or relative of the deceased. Mis-
sissippi papers are requested to publish
the above. By this means it may meet
the eye of some of his friends or ac-
quaintances.

In the meantime the defendant was re-
manded to Jail. The question of bail

for murder. The decision will probably
be given this evening.
The examination on application for

THE CONCERT LAST NIGHT.-The con-
cert at the New Memphis Thester last
night was 9 most flatterlng ovation to
Messrs. Wheat and Farmer, and a de-
cided success in a pecuniary point Of
view. The house was full in every part,
and there were persons standing in the
aIsles. Owing TO indisposltion, neither
Miss Rice nor Mr.. Nathan were able to
sing. Every piece was loudly applsuded.
Mrs. Heating especially excelled herself
and Was frequently encored. She was
also the recipient Of several handsome
boauets and other marks Of the entbu-
sisstic appreciation of the audience. AT
the close of the performance the i'm
mense concourse found to their chagrin
that the windows Of heaven had opened,
and il was raining furiously. Hacks and
umbrellas were at 8 premium, and at
present writing (halEpast eleven we
learn that hundreds are still weather
bound, waiting for the rain to cease.

OFFICE OF THE DAILY APPEAL
MEMPHIS, August Is, 1865,
The tone of money matters has under
gone no especial change since yester-
day, and aside from the transactions in
bonds and stocks presented below we
have little of interest to present to our
readers. Business In the general mar
ket continues to improve, but is not &C.
tive in any particular branch. Corn has
advanced a little, and meats are rather
firmer, which is chiefly due, however, to
the fact that there are no large lots
pressing ON the market. Merchants are
beginning to receive large consignments,
and stores are rapidly filing up In view
of the coming business season.
Exchange was little scsrcs to-day,
necessitating moderate shipments Of cur
rency Nsrth ward. Rates are unchanged
and very firm.
The coin market was dull, only small
offerings of gold, and no demand Of To-
cal nature. Dealers were offering only
l4S9144e for the small amounts pre-
sented; but lot OF $4,000, or there
abouts, would have sold readily for
I4A10i45c. In New York gold opened
at 146sc-was 1461c at noon, with 81 per
cent as the loan rate, and closed at l455c.
CITY Scrip was slow of sale to dealers
at zoe. and is easy to tax payers at T5c
for small amounts. Dealers continue to
report no counter demand.
County Scrip was in demand TO mod
crate extent at irregular rates-5O@5Sc-
and can be had of dealers in small
amounts at $50.
Police Scrip remains scarce and firm at
75c buying, and soc selling.
There was fair degree Of animation
in the market for stocks and securities,
excepting that city bonds were dull at
sos. Bankers purchases were $4,000
Mississippi and Tennessee Railroad II
mortgage bonds at 33c, and $1,000 lsr
mortgage do. at zoe. Also is shares
Mississippi Central Railroad stock at Toe.
The following were the sales at Augusta
on the 18th: $4,000 Memphis bonds at
4sac; $500 Memphis coupons at 7Ofe; A
shares Georgia Railroad stock at 97@99c
sl25, 900 Augusta city bonds at 77l@7so;
SITS Augusta coupons at $3.50; $42, 700
Mississippi and Tennessee Railroad %
