The money market is without essen
tial change in every brancl.. Capital
is in abundance supply, and the mer-
camille demand for loans, while grad
ually increasing, is not up to the
volume of previous years. In the
present uncertain state Of the cotton
crop, merchants are shy Of making
liberal advances to their planting cor
respondents, and this checks activity
in the loan markets to a considerable
extent. Rates of discount vary from

TO MURDER.
Knocked ON the Head with a
Ratchet, and Stabbed in
the Neck While Asleep.

AT an early hour this morning,
feeble means were heard issuing from
a sleeping apartment in the rear of
Ferd Rogers grocery on the corner Of
Carolina and Seventh streets, Fort
Pickering, and upon entering, a pas
ser by encountered an appalling sight.
Turner Allen, a negro man employed
by Rogers, lay upon the bel in a pool
Of blood. The crimson stain covered
the bed clothing, the pillows,
the floor, and even the walls of the
room. The unfortunate man moaned
feebly from time to time, but was not
fully conscious. A blood stained
Ratchet was found near the bedside,
and an ugly butcher knife, also cover
ed with blood lay beside it. The first
blow was probably struck with the
hatchet, inficting'a deep wound in the
side of the head, and the blood slowly
oozed from a number of shallow
cuts in the neck, made by the
butcher knife. The condition of the
room, together with other cireum-
stances, led to the belief that Allen
had been attacked while asleep in bed,
and had been left for dead. A physi-
clan was summoned who succeeded in
restoring him,to CONSCIOUSNESS, when
he made a statement to the effect that
he heard a knock at his door in the
middle ofthe night, and half asleep.
he arose and admitted a negro named
Louis Johnson returning to bed and
to sleep almost instantly. Beyond
this he remembered nothing, the first
blow having deprived him of con-
seriousness. His condition is critical.
johnson was arrested by the police
this forenoon and lodged in the sta
tionhouse. He denies all knowledge
of the affair. No bad feelingis known
to have existed between Allen and
johnson.

ried yesterday afternoon in the Office
Of the chief of police, by Esquire
Quigley, the best result that could
have been arrived at after their recent
escapade and exploits, except one, and
that would have been for each to have
tied a large stone around their necks
and jumped into the river from the
edge ofa caying bank. The $5O5 taken
by the young lady from her father and
the larger part of which was afterward
given by her to Crutchfeld, will about
pay the expenses of the trip all made
to this city, and the frolic attending
it. The attorneys for Crutchfeld re
ceived SIS each, a rather fat fee;
Esquire Quigley, who did the hardest
and best part ofthe work, received IS:
while a considerable portion was
wasted in various ways, the residue
being returned to the girls father, Mr..
johnson. Though the outlay is all
from the old gentleman's purse, he is
doubtless as we'll satisfied as he ought
to be with SO sorry a sOn-in-law, and so
erring a daughter.
