the Industrial Exposition? The navy
yard would be splendid place for a
union depot Everybody that could of
ford the luxury was out driving yesterday.
The waterworks are rapidly approach
ing completion, and by the last Of Octo-
Der will probably be in working order.
A number of people saw the new depot
Of the Memphis and Little Rock railroad,
foot Of Exchange street. for the first time
yesterday. The moon got full at day
light yesterday morning, which was GER
tainly very early start; but she was
anticipated by lot Of fellows who got
full six or eight hours earlier, and were
rewarded by our police officials in way
that Miss Luna was not. The Chaneery
Courts will be in session next month.
Large numbers of people visited the
Exposition building yesterday. The
Gem Garden has been closed as sub
urban resort and thepeople 10 the neigh
borhood thereof are happy. We would
advise the Avalanche reporter that we
didn't mean anything by saying he spent
the day around Wolf river; but if, as he
says, our visitto that interesting locality
will cause our readers to smile,
then let them smile divinely, for
we've been thar and gazed upon the
pelican, to say nothing of the cofferdam.
A mechanics building and loan associa-
ton would be good thing in Memphis.
Many hard things have been said about
the merry mosquito, but no one has. ever
yet accused him of trying to gil a lighted
lamp with kerosene oil. The names of
seven hundred and fifty conyicts are
registered upon our State penitentiary
books. There are hundreds of ladies
in this State who spend enough time in
making shirts and things, preparing food
and attending other household duties to
master several of the languages and be-
come very highly accomplished, if they
wouldn't fool away their time in house
hold drudgery." Work on the Masonic
Temple is now being lpushed forward
vigorously. Vocal music will be an adj
dition to some of next winter weddings.
More industry and enterprise is not ex-
hibited by any class in Memphis than
by the news boys. A long, warm autumn
is predicted after the first frost. Less
sorgham was raised this year than any
year during the past decade. The
Louisville Exposition has drawn such
crowds to that city that. committees have
been compelled to seek lodging for
strangers in private families, the hotels
and boarding houses all being crowded.

MEMPHIS. Tenn. September Is. 1872.
There is a still graver tone to the
money market to-day, and all indica-
tons point to a stringency for some
weeks to come. The price of cotton is
declining almost daily, Notwithstanding
the unfavorable report from the entire
cotton raising portion Of the South, and
planters will hold back all they can, and
thus compel their merchants, who have
already advanced double the amount of
funds they should have done, to look to
the banks for assistance. Just now they
the banks-are combining their favors
to their best customers, aud only loan
to them sufficient to supply immediate
wants, having advanced nearly double
the amount asked for year ago. A st.
Louis exchange thus notices the situa-
ton in the South, from which our read
ers can better judge of the condition Of
our own banks. 1t says: The outflow
Of currency continues, and country and
Southern banks are, aggregated, heavy
borrowers at full rates. We have here
tofore mentioned the inquiry from cot
ton sections, which seems to be rapidly
on the increase, aud any surplus funds
can readily be used to supply this new
requirement.,
Exchange is about even to-day; that
is, the supply and demand. The banks
are taking cotton bills and outside checks
GA different points at from t@fc dis
count, and in selling have reduced rates
from iGtc premium, though where
small checks are wanted ic is the regu-
lar rate.

market has been unsettled, and buyers
have had it all their own way. Orders

their factors to use their own discretion
in disposing Of their cotton, which they
did not do last year. Prices have de-

IMPORTANT DECISION By THE Court OF Az
rEALs.-The Court of Appeals, sitting in this
place, on Wednesday last rendered decision
in the case of Ililb Us. Peyton. of which, we
are informed, it is important the legal pro-
ies>on should be advised. '
This case, which was. through some mad
vcrtcncc, published in 2lSt Grattan, page 1856.
whilst IL motion to rchear the same was pend
ing, was rcheard at the present term of the
court before Il full bench, and by j majority
Of the court the judgment of the Circuit
Cnurt of Augusta was affirmed. The effect
of this decision is to reverse the decision re-
ported in 2l>t Grattln, and to give the plain
tilf below only the value of the Confederate
money loaned, as of the date of the loan,
with interest.
The majority Of the court held that sec.
ton Of the adjustment act of March, 1860,
applied to all contracts for the loan Of Con.
lcderate money, or with reference to such
money as a standard value, made between
the 1st of january, 1862, and the 10th OF
April, 1865 /; and that, although the contract
