General Trade,

The tone OF nearly every article of
consumptive demand is downward.
Flour is an exception, but while
prices are maintained but little conf
dence is felt in its future. The price
of cornmeal is unchanged, but the
tone is easy, while corn is much de-
pressed. Liberal offerings yesterday

going north from points between here

passed up last evening with 1900 bbls
taken between Baton Rouge and
Vicksburg. This is not large con-
Segment, but is mentioned to show
that the crop to the southwark is still
moving toward a market. But for
rainy weather as this boat came up

over 5000 bbls. One farmer has 5000
bbls grown on Deans Island, 30 or 40
miles above here, and be contracted
for the entire growth carly in the sea-
son at S2.25 per Dbl, aud a good trade
it has proved to be. The Morgan was
to take a quantity from the island
named as she passed there last night.
A dozen or more car loads were sent
North from BuDtyn's station, four
miles east of here, yesterday aud the
day before. The cause Of the decline
in values within the past two days Is
attributed to the heavy offerings. the

Colonel Ed Richardson's Views

COLONEL EW AACuaEUSOnsb Vows
Colonel Ed Richardson in recent
letter says:
NThe only help see for the plautet
of the Mississippi valley is to raise
more corn and hogs, grasses and small
grain, and live more at home and not
have his smoke house and corn crib
in the West, and not plant cotton at
loss to the exclusion Of everything
else, and it would not be many years
before he would be as independent as
tho farmer Of the West, who rarely if
ever seeks any pecuniary assistance to
enable him to hake 9 crop. The cot
ton planters of Georgia and FeRss arp
also nearly sustaining, make large
crops Of cotton. but make it second
airy to what they consume, and it is
said osl make money at it as low as
six cents per pound. We Of the Mis-.
sissippi valley, the finest and most
fertile region on earth, have got TO
pursue the same course, or but q few
years moro will see the whole section
involved in general bankruptcy"

Pensions for tennessee Soldiers.


The lsst Legislature passed an act
authorizing the Comptroller to draw
on the Treasurer for the sum of $40
per month for each Tennessee soldier
not already provided for, who lost
their eyeSight in the late war between
the States. Under this act, so far,
only four have made application to the
Comptroller for the pension, three of
which have been paid for four months
each, aud the other is undergoing the
necessary investigation this week
The soldiers receiving their pay are
John Erskine, of Williamson county;
Frank Beasly, of Humphreys county,
and John H. Woodbridge, of Giles
county. j. W. Sowrie, Of Crockett
county, will get his pay as soon as the
necessary papers are certified. All of
these men lost their eyes in the SER
vice, and are absolutely in need of
tho assistance the Legislature has so
generously given them.
