l always supposed that the news
papers during the late civil war de-
served precedence for their seusa-
tional newspaper headings, until |
met with the following in the New
York Gazette and Weekly Mercury,
published at New York, Oct. 20, 1777,
by Hugh Gaine. GLORIOUS news from
the southward-Washiugton knocked
up-The bloodiest battle, in America
5000 of his men gone-l00 wagons
to carry the wounded-General Howe
is at present in Germantown-Wash-
ingtOn 30 miles back in a shattered
condition-Their stoutest frigate
taken and one deserted-They are
tired-And talk of finishing the cam
paign." The tory typo must have
been exhausted by this effort to glorify
Germantown, for when the news
reached the city Of the British army
to the northward having been bur-
goyned he could not set up one line Of
caps to catch the eyes OF his sub
scribers.

The City Of Greenville, which passed
up Tuesday morning last, ran aground
Tuesday night when two miles below
Gayoso. She is reported in a bad fix
there being but from two and a half
to three feet OF water around her.
The w. p. Halliday and John Dip
pold both pulled for several hours
at her but could not move her. The
Commonwealth went up last night
several hours ahead of time in order
to help her off. The river is falling
fast and unless gotten off at once she
will have TO wait until there is an
other rise, of which there is no pros
pect at present.
The U. S. snagboat John A. Ma
comb, Captain r. Il. Birch in com
mand, arrived last night after doing
some very good service between Cairo
and this port. She went back this
forenoon, having been ordered above,
and the De Russey will be sent south
to work between Memphis and Vicks.
burg. Captain Frank NJ. Cayton is
to command the Macomb after the
present trip, Captain Birch having
been appointed to the new snagboat
II. G. Wright, which is being built to
be used under the supervision of
Major Suter. 1t is to be hoped that
with three boats the river can here
after be kept clear Of distractions.
Captain John Cowdon, of Barrataria
canal fame, is al present engaged in
wrecking a boat which sunk twenty
years ago at Deans Island, about 30
miles above here. Part of the cargo
comprised from 400 to 600 barrels of
whisky. He has, with a rod, struck
the boat and finds it buried % feet in
the sand bar, with IS feet Of water
above. He has been working there a
week, got a curbing up aud completed
and has dug down one-third of the
distance in two days. He came down
on the 0sceola Belle this morning to
get some extra hands and implements
to continue his work, hoping to reach
the deck in the course Of a week.
Should Captain Cowdon succeed il
getting out hal 400 to 600 barrels Of
whisky, he will have a fortune, as a
barrel Of twenty year old whisky is a
rare thing these days and a fancy
price will be paid. We wish Captain
Cowdon success in his undertaking

MEMPHIS. Tenn. September II, 1901
The increasingdemand for money in
mercantile circles is freely met by our
banks at current rates, ranging
from 6 to 8 per cent with a tendency
toward the latter, being generally es-
tablished. AS yet the volume of ex-
change is light, compared with the
movement expected later on and
eastern cotton bills are in
scant volume, while a mod
crate demand prevails for New York
drafts. There is no deviation in rates,
the banks buying at par to &c discount
and selling at ic premium for eastern
and par buying to fc off selling on
New Orleans.

From the statistics of our custom
house it is fair to presume that New

said oil. 1t is shown that during the
period from September l, 1879, to
August 81, 1880, we have exported
cotton seed oil to the value of $685.,

follows From France, S26,078; Italy,
1924 England, 1882, making a to-
tai of$54,204, or less than o~pe-seventh
Of the value Of the raw material we
