ORLEANS SUNDAY g.

rounding country, and, above all, the point
of junction between these two great roads,
it has substantial claims to permanency
surpassed by no other point on the road,
unless indeed it be Dallas, of which l will
speak in my next letter.
Many OF our large merchants Of New Or
leans are alive to the moneyed advantages
of this point. Block & Brother are putting
up one of the largest stores in the town, and
Snider, Of Common street, is here now &C.
curing some of the best trade here. and pre.
pairing to build one Of the largest houses
here before the opening Of the fall business.
St. Louis is beginning to look with a
greedy eye to this vast trade, and New
York men are active in their quick sagacity
to secure strong footing in this great out
let to wealth. Be ye alive to your great in
terests, merchants of New Orleans: send
your goods through every opening channel
Of this country, you are sure of a return of
good profits in glittering gold. Secure the
vast trade of this State now, before New
York or the great cities Of the West carry
off her exports and enrich their Golfers by
the gold and silver Of her land. Show
yourselves the king merchants of our coun-
try in this important point. You know full
well the resources of this State are mex
undeveloped and innumerabIe.
Let no one grasp them before you.
These are some of the leading points Of
this country. There is food for reflection
bilious and enterprising. Let the drone
pass them over and sleep Oh in his indolent
content. S. C. j.

Department Of Assessments.

What is meant by personal property, and
what is taxable as such under the law, is a
question that has been often asked.
For the information of the public, we
have obtained from Mr.. BonzanO, Admins.
traitor OF Assessments, the following list OF
personal property subject to taxation:
vent debtors, notes, bonds, mortgage, in
surance scrip or any other obligation, money
loaned out, money in trust for others. any
money, property or evidence of debt or
value of any kind held in trust or as agent,
executor, administrator, tutor or in any
other fiduciary capacity; stock or shares in
ships, steamboats, or other water craft:
the income of firm or of each part
ner, the income derived from moneys, sala-
ries, wages, pay, commission, brokerage
and fees in compensation Of services per
formed; all revenues and dividends derived
from corporations not taxed by the city,
after deducting $1,000; household furniture,
silver plate. goods, chattels and movable
property $4,000 exempt), horses, mules,
cattle, etc., carriages, carts, wagons, etc.
Department Of improvements.
Administrator COckrem has given direc-
tlOns that contractors making improve
ments on Canal street must refrain from
the roadway with dirt aud
lumber, whereby they have heretofore
seriously impeded travel.
The Shell Reads.
Mr.. Pearson, Superintendent of Streets, is
busy with all his force dressing the shell
roads in different parts of the city, and will
soon have them all in order. This officer

Mfnserels 1t the Academy.

MluSBFelO NJ the AC00cmys
Tomorrow evening season of minstrelsy
will be inaugurated At the Academy. The
Memphis Aralamche says of the company:
The Memphis Theatre opened last night
for the season with the best entertainment
in minstrelsy presented in our city in many
day. 1t was at once chaste, original and
highly amusing, and kept the audience in
transports Of delight from the opening to
the close. Hart. Ryman & Barney's Min
strel Troupe differs from most others in
that every member is star in his line, and
that neither ''old saws" nor vulgar wit
ticisms are palmed off as humor or original
tiles. The music. both vocal and instru-
mental. is fine; the humor genuine and
pointed; the play in words admirable, and
the burlesque acting of the highest order.
We have rarely witnessed a more chaste or
pleasing entertainment of the kind. With
other attractions equal in point of merit,
the management Of the Memphis Treatre
may rely upon a profitable season. Hart,
Ryman and Barney will cater to the public
during the present week, with change of
programme every night, in which all the
tollies, frivolities and general features of
the times will be dished up as they deserve,
and mirth and melody will hold high car
nival.

The thing that is creating more astonish-
ment in New Orleans than anything else
just now seems to be Smiths Pulmonic
Syrup, the new remedy from our swamps
for scrofulous diseases, which include con-
sumption, catarrh, bronchitis, etc. Messrs.
G. II. Smith & Co., the proprietors, are re-
ceiving evidences of it's effects, which sur
prise even themselves. They give names
and residences, and there can be no doubt
about the facts. The demand for this new
remedy is coming from all directions, and
the proprietors will this week enlarge their
apparatus to three or four times the present
capacity. A new industry has thus been
established in this city which promises to
become OF great importance.
