FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

DESTINY OF MEMPHIs.-The future wealth of
this valley cannot be exaggerated. We have
never dreamed. still less defined with any de-
gree of accuracy, of the wonderful glorics and
splendors of the unrestricted opulence which,
in future years. will bless this valley as the
seat of the worlds most magnificent civiliza-
ton. That Egypt proper of ancient days, Of
which another Memphis was an imperial cap
ital, was not larger than Vermont. When
Diodorus Siculus visited the country, there
were in this narrow space fifteen thousand
cities and towns, and a population of seven
millions. Magnificent ruins, half buried by
the annual foods ofthe Nile, arrest the wealth,
power and grandeur of people blest with the
very resources and incidents of boundess OPP
ulence found here in this broader valley of a
mightier river. Memphis of old drew little
wealth from foreign States and peoples, and
yet monuments, that attest its splendors and
aecumulations of gold, have never ceased,
through thirty centuries, to amaze mankind.
There is not an acre of the lowlands of the
Mississippi that will not be redeemed from
foods. Canals and railways will traverse this
submerged empire in every direction, and
population become as dense as in ancient
Egypt, or rs when mound builders built cities
of Egyptian brick, the ruins of which are still
visible everywhere between Memphis and
Madison, on the St. Francis river. A charter
is pending in the Mississippi Legislature. al
ready enacted by Tennessee, which contem-
plates the construction of a river railway from
Vicksburg to Memphis. Lands, forfeited by
impoverished taxpayers along the route, will
be devoted to the construction of the road
and each planter, to escape perpetually re-
curing leyee taxation, will devote share of
his land to the accomplishment of the task.
1t will be the achievement of one of Alcorn's
dreams, which may make this modern Mem
phis more populous and rich than all that ia
Bile and history and the wreck of forgotten en-
pire tell Of Memphis on the Nile.
LEGAL TEyDER.-It is alleged that under
the new appointments to the Supreme Court
Bench, the recent decision of that body of
jurists will be reversed, as it affected the ope-
ration of the Legal Tender act. The discus
sions of this subject by statesmen and poll
ticians of the South, while the Confederacy
was ON its last legs. are reproduced in North
ern journals.
COTTQS,-The market was very quiet yester- |
day. One city now talks to another around
the globe SO readily, that speculations upon |
differences of prices in remote places are not |
frequent, or great successes or failures in for
mer years. Orders held here are not great or |
imperative. and the difference between buyers |
and sellers is still strongly marked and broadly |
defined. Yesterdays sales were only 64s bales. |

ATerriable Fate.

Bitten by BloodhOund-A lio,ler's Atald-
dietion- Shocking Death IRON. Byaro>
phoJia
a melancholy aud in many respects singu-
lar death from hydrophobia occurred yesser-
day morning at Fonkers. WestcheSter county,
where the horryfging circumstances is at pres
ent engrossIng an unusual share of attention.
TO medical men 1t is another terrible illustra-
ton of the fact, that although the poison con-.
veyed in the bite of rabid animal may remain
dormant ia the system for an indefinite period
its power to torture and destroy life, does not
deteriofate.
The victim, Thomas Lamb, who was in his
tweutyetourth year, was by trade an engineer,
and employed at boundary in the village
uamed, throughout which he was well known
as a trustworthy, industrious man. During
last winter, while employed in brewery in u
neiShborhood village, deceased was bitten by
u ferocious bloodhound, owned by his en-
ployer, and although the wound inflicted by
the tangs of the brute was not very severe,
the animal was at ouce dispatched, aud the al
fected part having rapidly healed. the occur
renee was snon forgotten by the deceased.-
On tuesday of last week. deceased was united
in marriage with young woman, whose mo-
ther had bitterly opposed his attentions to her
daughter. Having by the exercise of little
strategy, realized their matrimonial wishes,
the married pair had scarcely reached the
domicile of the bridegroom, when the mother
of the bride made her appearance, and alter,
on her knees, imploriug curses aud vengeance
on the lucEless couple, feryently prayed that
her daughter might be Ia widow in less than
three mouths"
1t appears that the diabolical imprecations
Of the mother had most depressing effect on
the minds OF the young people, and on the
following day, deceased evinced symptoms Of
the awful maludy, the seeds Of which had been
sowu in his system some months previous =
Medical skill was resorted to without avail,
and ou Friday the wretched man, in one of
his terrible paroxysms, escaped from his at
tendants, and after renching some open lots
displayed cat.like agility in bounding over
fences and other wise dsporting like an ami
nal. He was subsequently secured by two
Of the Honkers police, who found it necessary
to hand cuff the mailman on arriving nt Ills
home, in Brook street Either the sight or
sound Of water would throw the patieut into
the most agonziug cunvulsion. and as the
malady developed itself lie wouid bark like
dog, snarling and swapping at those who
were near him.
He continued to grow more violent and
dangerous, so that for many hours before his
dissolution, it was deemed necessary 10 bud
him with strong cords, and while in this con
dition his struggles shrieks, and howis, we're
