PERSONAL.

J. Pinckney Smith, a prominent and
popular merchant OF New Orleans, was in
the city yesterday.
At the Peabody Hotel yesterday we
find the following distinguished arrivals:
Colonel B. D. Lay, Colonel J. s. Hamil-
ton, Captain G.. B. Bourne and Mr.. r. D.
Berry, all Of Jackson; L. G.. Abbott and
wife, and Mr.. A. L. Langdon, OF Holly
SPtngs, and r. Casey, Esq, of North Car
DINA.
Il is with sincere regret we learn that
DR.. 9. Spiegel, one Of the oldest members
of Enthusiastically OF Memphis. is about
to leave us and take up his residencain
Cincinnati. The Doctor is widely known,
not only in this immediate vicinity, but
throughout the Union, as the most ue-
cessful cancer operator in the world. The
cures he has effected, and b blessings
conferred upon suffering humanity, are
innumerable. To the poor he has always
been a benefactOr, serving them without
money and without price, in seasons of
epidemics and public distress. We regret
the departure Of DR.. SpiegeL. His alb
n will be a loss TO the community
one not readily to be made up. But, since
be has determined TO continue in the prac-
tice Of his profession, we are r~ecOnciled 70
his departure. Ia Cincinnati, where he
goes TO cOnnec himself with the welt
known DR.. D. f.. Newton, he viii be
readily accessible to his patients North as
well as South, and will be in a condition
to extend his system Of cures, especially
of ancer, to all in the United States or !
the Canadas, who are afflicted with that
nauseous disease. We commend the Doc
tor to the people of Cincinnati, and trust
his new home will be as pleasant as, he
assures US, he has always found tina
which he leaves in MemphiE
Major Saunders, Of the firm of B. Bay
liss 81 Co., cotton buyers Of this city, !
leaves this evening for New York, en-
six commissioners appointed by President
Fillmore to represent the Louisville Ma I
tional Commercial Convention at the st.
Petersburg Fair, and to represent to the
BOards Of Trade Of the chief cities Of Eu-
rope the great inducements now
offered in the South and West to
immigration and capital. We con-
graduate Memphis upon securing so
able a representative for Europe.
Major ). is most essentially "a cotton
man-haYing been a cotton merchant 2
since 1866, and associated with his father
in the cotton business in Mobile, who was
for many years Collector of that Port,
and his firm among the largest cotton
of that city. His father and both
Of his grandfathers were cotton planters,
and bot he and his father are still cotton
growers. Hence, he is legitimately a cot
representative, in the fullest aecep-
JatiOn of the term, and one who from his
great intelligence and thorough knowl-
OF the situation and present wants
Of the South will do much toward direct
ing the attention of intending i'm
migration and capital to us. Major
5. was the Chairman of the Cot
on Committee of the Memphis CONNER
sial Convention, and the author OF the
lbIs cotton memorial entitled the " Cot
on Trade Of the World" and appointed
1t the time by the Convention a delegate
the Manchester Cotton supply AssO-
,iatiOn Of Great Britain. He is further
more, at this time, Vice President of the
Manufacturers and Planters As
of America, the Hon. Amos A
Lawrence, of Boston, being the Presi-
lent. We therefore deem him eminently
qualified for his position as European
COMMISSIONER; and as he speaks the
modern languages, and especially French,
iusDtly, hope much from his efforts IN {
Erecting the attention of cotton mer-
.hants in st. Petersburg, Berlin, Vienna, I
Bremen, Hamburg and Amsterdam, and 1
cher continental commercial cities, to {
demphis. His statistical infOrma- I
ion on all points appertaining to !
products Of the South will t
ompare fsYorably with that of any I
ottOn merchant in the South. We wish
dajOr 5. UB Don U0yGge, and a safe return,
nd sincerely hope that much good may g
ONE TO US from his efforts in correctly l
epresenting as in Europe.
