THAT ExcuRsroS."- can assure

q THAT EXCURSION" We can assure
the young gentleman who takes such
lively interest in the forthcoming nara
tive of an excursion ON the Little Rock
railroad last Thursday, that its delay
has been purely accidental, and did not
result from headache" as intimated.
Nor is the suggestive young gentleman
much more enlightened in his reference
to the other reporter who has been
so occupied he has not yet had time
to elaborate the particulars of the follow
ing heading, which was prepared imme-
diately on his return: Little Rock
Railroad-lts progress and certcin and
speedy completion-An excursion-Ten
Mile Bayou-Rice's and Fishermen-An
0ld-fashioned Barbecue and Saw-dust
Dance-Hot times and almost an Ar
kansas Scrimmage-Beautiful Women
and Brave Men-Mrs. A. the Queen of
Beauty and young widow-A good time
generally--Edltors waxing eloquent
the man that whipped the bear being
Roland for his 0liver-Courtesies-Col.
Williams, Capt Robson, Mr.. Campbell
The return-A hat in the wilderness
Again at Rice's-An unforeseen delay
Long firing up-A storm upon the wa
ters." This, we take it is a pretty good
beginning for an extensive chapter, and
will be filled out before the impatient
youth has cut his wisdom teeth. We are
free from headache, because we keep out
of the sun and avoid strong rotations.
If he cannot avoid the former, he will
find it to his advantage to keep clear of
the latter.

MEMPHIS ENoRMITIEs. = 1t is bad
enough to have the truth told of us, for
man is prone to err as the sparks to fly
upward. But to have the most unmiti-
gated falsehoods concocted about us, and
the most damnable inventions detailing
atrocities never committed, is too bad
Pause, We Memphians, and hear what is
said Of you by the Radical Sheet the Re-
publican, of Little Rock, with which you
expect to make close railroad connec-
tons in very short time, when it is to
be hoped the fellow who wrote this SLAM
der will have an opportunity of illumin-
ing his benighted mind. Hear the Re-
publican Of the Goth inst. and get ready
to be shocked:
1t is said that the city of Memphis av-
erages one murder day now. This is
one of the beauties of Democratic rule in
that city. The majority of persons
killed are colored men. Bands of des-
peradoes in masks 60 about the country
in the vicinity of Memphis, breaking into
jails and private houses, and taking from
thence any one they like, and hang them
to the first tree they come to; and the
Democratic officers of the law quietly
look on, if they do not heartily connive
at the hellish deeds committed
Is not this too bad? Of all the lying
Radicals that have been imported, we
question if this son of Satan has his
match. He out-Herods the old fellow
himself Nick can't bear a candle to
him. The widest creations of Memphis
locals, prone to sexaggeration and
headlines, never dreamed Of such things.
They fall " stale, fiat and improbable "
by the side of this assassin of character,
who should have his ears nailed to the
pillory. 1t is true the niggers fight each
other sometimes, and occasionally apply
knife to the fifth rib of each other, but
the " bands Of desperadoes in masks
is only nightmare of the editor of the
Republican who has snakes in his boots
and bricks in his hat.

Nor gHE HousE.usMM han the chief Of
the bandits had marked the house of Ali
Bahia, SO as to recognize it (the houses in
the street closely resembling each other),
he was completely baffled by Morgiana
making the discovery and chalking the
contiguous houses in similar manner.
Now, in stating that for revenue pur-
poses descent had been made on a
liquor establishment of this city, we did
not reflect that curious minds would i'm
mediately proceed to investigate, and at
least, surmise. 1t never entered our
mind that any one could be SO iinagin-
alive as to suggest the extensive estab-
lishment of B. j. Semmes a. Co., where
Yapnissee will never grow superanu-
ated, and Col John Dawson continues
to extend the longitudinal proportions
in the estimation of his friends. Oh,
mol Thafs'all mistake. There never
has been a mark on that door. They
keep a regular. set of books, and the en-
tries are all ship-shape. No house here
pays larger revenue, but it is always
forthcoming with alacrity The rock
has not frmer base, and although the
revenue tariff is severe and exacting,
and Columbus Delano has availed him
self of every bubble and technically to
make it more severe, this house was never
known to falter The injunctions of the
code are strictly obeyed, and the prestige
of popularity preserved with miraculous
care and exactness. Then those who
wish to be informed, and are dying out
of sheer curiosity, may set it down as a
fixed fact, from which there is no pos
sible deviation-that is not the house. -.

seeing at our place of business our friend
Colonel Sam B. Jones, formerly Superin-
tendent of the Memphis and Ohio rail
road, but at present General Agent of
that route, stationed at New York.
Colonel Jones looks exceedingly well, as
the air of the great commercial metrop-
oils agreed with him. That benignant
smile that characterized his attractive
physiognomy still beams there as radiant
as ever, and his step has lost nothing of
its elasticity. Long life and happiness
to him and his-may they be blessed by

BOOT

TNHE FIRST PREMIUM AT THE GREAT
Il St. Louis Fair for 1859 was awarded TO the
manufacturers Of this beautiful boot. II com
hines all the utility Of the sewed boot with the
cheapness Of the pegged boot. Its constrHc-
ton Is in this wise; instead Of pegs, a peculiar
shaped brass screw is driven into the sole when
damp. and smoothly and securely ciinched,
thus holding the soles and uppers together so
tight that they can never rip or give way.
They have oil the smoOthness and elasticity Of
the seved boot, and none Of the disadVan-
tages attaching 70 the pegged boot. We sell
them At price but a trihe more than that OF
the pegged boots; thus We furnish you with
something that Is indeed economical. We
have fresh stock Of all kinds Of Boots and

the three most successful riders. The

been expected, and the contiguity of the

Of the street railroad available. Take the

been procured, and refreshments of the
greatest excellence will be upon the

thousand visitors will be present to wit
ness the exercises and participate in the

European war. The discussion will be
free, although several prominentspeakers
have promised to be present and partici-
pate in it. AS between the two parties
belligerent, our naturalized Irish citizens
may not feel particularly interested, but
if their old acquaintance, the English,
for whom they entertain no special love,
were to become involved, they might be
actuated by different motive than in
difference. However,we shall hear them
express their own views, and a very in
teresting and instructive discussion may
be anticipated this evening Eight
o'clock, we believe, is the hour.

The market is quiet, with a large de-
mand for discounts at rates given by us
yesterday. There is scarcely anything
doing in stocks or bonds. Memphis and
Charleston railroad shares are quiet and
nominal at CSC. City scrip is dull at 6Oc.
County warrants are dull at Csc. Ten
nessee money is taken by dealers at So
to zoe, and sold at y to 73c. Exchange
is quiet; bankers purchase at par and
supply customers at ic premium Gold
is quiet, and purchased sparingly by
dealers at lls. The opening rate in
New York was ll9s; it subsequently ad-
vanced to ll92, and is now quoted steady
at that price. Government securities
opened dull, with slight decline. Sterl-
ing steady and active at 10 per cent.
The carrying rates for gold at the open
ing was Z per cent. In the London mar
ket American securities opened quiet at
the closing rates of yesterday.
COTTON.
The market is firmer to-day, with but
few sales, holders asking from to &c
above the views of buyers. The trans
actions early in the day were about %
bales, principally low grades, including
few bales of low middling at lie. Buy
ers would purchase largely at this rate,
but could not find factors willing to dis
pose of the same grades later in the day
at less than Isle for low middling, and
lSc for middling. The sales here yester
day were 200 bales. The Liverpool mar-
ket opened quiet and unchanged. The
New York market opened firm at the
closing rates of yesterday.
