THEY ALL CONE HOME AGAIN. All the
men who cut their connection with this ruined
country when the rebellion collapsed, who
could.not live IN land that tolerated niger
suffrage, who were too good to be caught In
our company-wc we're so degradcd--all these
fellows are coming Ia again, now that sum
versal amnesty gives them the option. There
were some who tried to organize new world
at Cordova, in Mexico, and they gave II up.
Some went to Brazil, but couldn't stay there !;
and now the unhappy mortals that were exiled
to London and Paris give their assent TO the
general opinion. They cannot live In any
other country, rebels or not rebels. Even "
the confederacy had succeeded they would
have felt homesick for the Stars and Stripes.

THE HoP.-On Wednesday even
ing last it, was our fortune to attend
the "hop" at the PearCe House. and
to mingle in as bright a scene of plea
sure, miIth and beauty, as ever
charmed an artists eye, or gladdened
a poets soul. Col. Pearcc, the gen
erous host, had invited the ladies
and gentlemen of this and neighbOr
ing cities to meet in "pleasurc train y
in his parlors, and although the at
tendance was not as large as might
have heen desired. the choice few
who responded will long remember
the uninterrupted pleasure of the
occasion. The spacious dining ball
had been prepared for the event, and
thither the votaries Of TerpSych0re
took their way. Had we the pen OF
Willis, we might describe She scene,
as it is, however, it is beyond our
poor powers of description: for
" OF all hat did dance, twere a Ioig tale to tell,
O! tie dancers and dresses and who was &c Lelle-
For each was 80 happy and all we've So fair
That night stole away, and the morn caught them
thrre.'
Indeed, we have never known a
more agreeable party to take place
within the limits of the celestial
city" There was no ''riot and i'll
managed revelry," but all was gen
tie, quiet. innocent merriment; there
was that collection of sparkling eyes,
white arms, silken hair and twink
ling feet and graceful forms, which
have long since won for Canton the
name of " loveliest city of the plain.'
The supper was excellent and boun-
teous, and did much credit to the
cuisine of the courteous host; the
music was charming; the beauty
present cag never be surpassed, and
altogether we think that it was one
of the most elegant parties that we
ever attended. The dancers retired
at late hour of the night, pleased
with themselves and all the world,
thankful to Mr.. Pearee for very
pleasant evening and much kind at
tention, and hoping that not many
days might pass before the elegant
festivities might be renewed. We
learn that Mr.. Pearce has i'll contem-
plation a grand ball, and we know
that the favorable impression pro
Iuced by the hop, will cause very
large attendance. Mr.. p. deserves
and has the heartfelt thanks Of all
the youth and beauty of our city, for
thus generously supplying the place
Of the hall which was burned. May
he live a thousand years, and may
W. live to chop" at his funeral wake.
Selah!

FRIEND BOSwoFTH
The cotton market to-day was more
active. The sales reaching 1850
bales. at 26a263 for good ordinary ;
Z74 G273 for low middling; and 2Sf
a PSI for middling. Strict lists OF
even running clean cottons command
outside figures, while mixed and
trashy lists are difficult Of sale at in
side prices. The principal demand is
for the better grades.
The market in Liverpool today
was dull, the sales being S,000 bales
at 1l3d.a11Bd. for Orleans middling.

Cur Progress.

In the year 1917, the growth of
Memphis rivalled that Of Chicago.
From 1850 to 1860, our increase was
nearly three hundred per cent. Our
population is now estimated at L.,
600. In 1860, our taxable property
was estimated at five millions now
it is thirty five millions. Memphis
subscribed one tenth of her taxable
property to the construction of the
Memphis and Charleston, and one
million to the Memphis and Ohio,
Mississippi and Tennessee and Little
Rock roads and Notwithstanding
the crOakingS of the fogicS, she has
not ruined herself III her wild hunt
after improvements. On the contra
ry it was these heavy OUTLAWS for i'm
provemcnt that have caused her to
multiply her FIVE millions taxable
property in 1860, into thirty five
millions in 1869 This tells the sto.
ry as to the advantages of railroads
TO enterprising communities. But
it doth not yet appear what we shat
! be when our connections westward
to the Pacific shall be contaminated
