"A gloomy sumaAv. Yesterday.

The three horned OK is ASTONISHING
the little niggers around town.
There we're nine arrests in the Sec,
= ond district yesterday, and only one in
the First.
, Owing to the "dampness" under foot
? and overhead, ladies were scarce on the
!, streets yesterday.
The Second district police arrested
Frank Pantee IN the charge of grand lar
ceny yesterday.
Emma Lowary was in the jug again
y~esterday-this time on charge OF

Woods, Z. II. Nichols and Oliver Russell
were Gagged as inmates of the same.
Mr.. Geo. Wise is preparing a history
of the Seventeenth Virginia Infantry reg
iment, of which he was a member. Why
don't some of our Tennessee soldiers
write up their regimental histories?
On Thursday night last the Clubhouse
and cotton gin press of j.. A. Bateman. on
Island No. 40, were burned, together with
ten bales of cotton, sever belonging to j.
b. Lowe, and three to G.. A. Bateman.
We did not hear how the fire originated.
"A a meeting held at La Crosse. lizard
county, Ark, on the 9th of November.
the sum of $40 was raised to defray the
expenses of a survey for the route of the
Memphis and Kansas City Railroad,
through lizard county. This is encourage
ing.
New Orleans papers complain of the
vast number of idle men in that CITY.
There are seventy thousand men there
with work for only twenty thousand.
Why do not some of them come to Mem
phis? Labor on the levees is scarce and
hardly to be obtained at any price. A
man who is willing to use his hands will
not long be without work in this region.
The election in Mississippi is over.
and we again see hanging around the
Greenlaw Opera House, and in Hell's-
HalfAcre, the familiar faces of negro and
white Radical politicians, who disap-
peared from the city so mysteriousIy
some six weeks ago.
The Fair, for the benefit of the copcre-
cation of Rabbi Tuska's temple, will com
mence tonight, and will continue

arrangement has been made to secare a
brilliant success, and we expect to see the
hall of the Memphis Club thronged every
evening.

A gentleman yesterday showed us a
specimen of kaolin found on his place.
about seven miles from this city. Kaolin
is the clay used for making porcelain.
and is exceedingly scarce in this country.
The deposit, we are told by the gentleman
who owns it. is very large and quite near
a stream which would furnish all the
power necessary to establish a porcelain
factory. The owner ofthis valuable prop
erty goes East in a few DAYS, to try to
make arrangements for utilizing it.

"A LouisvilliaH in the Courier-JournaE
estimates that the population of that

years. b is a long look ahead for a
Western city, and we think that it is its
distance that lends enchantment to the
view. Memphis has all the natural adj
vantages possessed by Louisville, and ]
that the latter place does not pos

twenty years if her people are only true

hose advantages that nature has so Law |

We wish that some Alderman might Z
spoil his best Sunday breeches by those l
dandy traps on Second street, =

might slip up and bark both shins on the l

The State Comptroller's report for the 1
wo years ending September 80, 1859, Just

he Comptroller has paid out to her for all p
purposes whatever. The report also shows II
hat the counties of Blount, Cannon, r

AT h regular monthly meeting of "
Iemphis Typographical Union, No. II, N
ED yesterday at the hall of the Union, "
be following gentlemen were elected Off II
ers for the ensuing year, and win be in
tailed at the next meeting: VIM. Null ;r
President; John NlcGiil, Viee-Presi- n
ent; VIM. White, Secretary; Henry IL
Ioode, Financial Secretary; Dan. Jones, cr
treasurer; Z. W. Parish, Sergeant-at- d,
rms. The above, from our k~nowledgeof az
are worthy the important positions 4,
which they have been elevated by the ",
iffrages of the craft. They are a credit 10
} the Union, and we believe will serve mi
.ithfully and with becoming dignity. ~
