NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. excitement is
not in the least >abated here, although
the weather has been unfavorable for
any pubic demonstration within the
last week. The Grand Torch-Light
Procession of last Tuesday night week,
in honor of our victory in Maine, is the
last noteworthy demonstration, and,
though not SO great in numbers, as pre-
VEous professions of similar character,

Lin the ranks throughout the entire
route, the fine uniforms of most OF the
ward delegations. and the; character
and abundance of music, were matters
particularly conspicuous, and deserv-

The weather here recently has become
intensely cold, for the season. Shop
keepers have drawn in their light and
and lively summer attractions, and ex-
posed the less attractive, but more sub
stantial regalia of winter. Piacards
announcing arrivals OF Winter Styles
have become commonplace, and indeed
an overcoat is about as much in keep
ing with the demands of the weather
| to-day, as summer coat was
two weeks ago. Pearl street, however,
at Just such u season, reaps its harvest
| of trade. Where ono would have seen,

Through there yesterday, for a distance
of nearly half square in some locali-
ties, are piled TO the hight OF half II
Story, and every hand seemed to be
making aocessions to the list. Dry
goods, TOO, and hardware, and clothing
were being hourly dispatched in heap
ing dray loads toEthe depots of Western
and Southern railroads, and still there
seemed to be enough more tumbling
out to employ every available square
inch of room on the narrow sidewalk,

The fall trade, In all departments, is
fully opened, and, opening as it has in
excess of what might reasonably have
been expected, 1t goes to confirm our
| predictions of n larger trade this season
than we epjoyedduringth the correspond
ing season of last year. We hope, too,
for a more certain one. Notwlthstand-
ing the disposition, in some sections of
the South, to fnaugurate petty rebel
lion movement, think the people
are assured that such a movement
would be OF short duration and
full OF terror to the projectors and
and participators, and this feeling
OF greater security under the govern
ment, together with the fact that the
pecuniary condition of these people is
improving, is bringing our trade slow

beyond its former maximum.
Yhere'i5 no hesitation in purchases
by our Southern buyers in view OF the
Presidential election. No calm, thought
full man, or whatever shade of politi-
cal opinion, will concede that he enter
tains doubt as TO the result. The
merchant of Tennessee expresses him
self through his trading, though he
might not otherwise. He has conf
dence that perfect peace will be the re-
suit of the election ofGrant, and is con-
fident OF his election. Whatever of
lack of confidence there may exist
among the people OF the South gener-
ally in reference to the virtue of the
administration of Gen. Grant as Presi-
dent. will be.restored in three months
after his inauguration, while the cleo
ton of Seymour would be on the other
hand the contamination of weakness,
treachery and uncertainty. We are
thrown in almost daily contact with
persons from different sections OF the
South, and there is scarcely one but
will admit The above fact.
The weather is growing colder to-
night, and my hand is growing numb

even fnrs, will be in demand by Sun
day at this rate. and fires necessity,
and we trust that our apprehensions,
in consequence OF so sudden change
of weather, may not meet with serious
results.
We regret having been unable to see
or hear your estimable townsman, G.
L, Cranmer, Esq, during his REGENTS So
journ in our city. His address before
the Old Woodward Club Is spoken OF
by the press as being eloquent In a
high degree, forcible in character, and
widely comprehensive in its scope,
highly deserving the ability of Mr..
Cranmer. 1t will long be remembered
by the old club as an occasion OF pro-
found interest and importance.
