~'OPOAt Z, 4udrcuS, lOfU.
Trade the past week has been
quite dull in every department.
Many buyers from the interior
have visited our city with the in
tention of buying spring stocks,
butsthe low price of gold and cot
ton has SO depressed them that
many have held off entirely or
bought very scant. Our mer-
chants are well supplied with
stocks, and approaching the de
cline in gold and cotton, have
come down in their prices.
The downward tendency ofgold
has crippled every department of
trade, and, in our opinion, Mr..
Boutwell, should have retained
his gold in the treasury until our
cotton and other products had
changed hands. While he has
made name as an able financier
with his party, and probably his
section, Ire has done so at the ex.
pense of the agricultural interests
of the country.
The heavy receipts at all the
ports, and the consequent impress.
sion that there would be a larger
crop than at first anticipated,
coupled with the rapid decline in
sterling exchange, have had a de-
pressing effect upon cotton, and it
has declined fully two cents in
currency during the past week.
Factors and holders on the first
decline supposed that in a few
days the market would react. No
| reaction came, but a continuous
decline instead. Now they are
disposed to let go at quotations,
but, Micawber like, are waiting
for something to turn up. We
have been apprehensive of the
present state of things for some
time, and, in a delicate way, adj
vised planters to sell at % cents.
Many of them thought best to
hold on, and the prospects now
are that they will suffer the pen.

the fruit Of a justified person press

of those enjoying this blessing, was
presented as p~ersevering and success

,others-the motive power in the
Church for the conversion of the

The immediate result of their la

A New Religious Sect.

The Albany Knickerbocker gives
an account of a new religious sect
which has just been organized near
that city, which bids fair to outrival
the Shakers in the way OF attractions
during the coming season. This
party is composed OF men and women,
but Instead of there being a dividing
line, they mibgle together in a love
feast sort Of style. Music is their
hobby, and through its influence they
expect to be saved. The members are
principally musicians Of some sort,
and those who are not blow upon
horns at the full extent and power of
their lungs, In the hope that the
noise, if not the sweetest of notes, will
secure their salvation. The members
of the new society are now engaged
in practice for the summe of 1870.
A friend Of ours, who was present at a
late rehearsal, says it was terrible.
The beating Of bass drums. blowing
of horns, trombones, flutes, pipes,
etc, knocking the great peace jubilee
into a cooked hat. It was fearful.
There was no harmony or order, but
all banged and blowed away on his
own hook. One person IS selected as
| chief. He is the favored one of the
order, dressed like the apostles of old,
who is elevated upon a platform, and
instead of using a wand as leaders OF
orchestras usually do, he sWunga huge
mallet, which came down with great
force upon some arrangement that
vibrated far and near like the echo Of
a huge bell or heavy piece of ord
nance. The whole arrangements re
sembles a great burlesque. but tbs
KnicherbocheT's informant says he
never saw a more earnest collection
of devotees, or met with a mors
friendly set of people.

Brooklyn, closed a sermon as follows:
Seated at a country Preside the

blaze, and go out, and gathered up
from the hearth enough for many re-
fections. Our mortal life is just like
the fire on the hearth. We put on
the fresh faggots, and the fame bursts
through, and up, and out. gay of
sparkle, gay of flash, gay of craekle
-emblems of boyhood. Then the
fire reddens into Goals. The heat is
fercer, and the more it is stirred. the
more it reddens. With sweep of
