The Gold Room was crowded early this morning, and at 10 o'lock the Board came to order, when the following note was received from the President of the Gold Exchange Rank: "The Bank will not receive any clear ing statements from dealers to-day. The statement received yesterday are nearly all affected by the failures, and It is Im posaible as yet to learn the balance. Deal ers must be prepared to take up the tick eta of those in default which they have nit in. a that is ihe only mode of adjust ing the movement.

The Board then passed a resolution to adjourn till Monday, to recognize no transactions made to-day, and to appoint committee of throe to ait upon the AV istant Treasurer and request him to jvost one the sale of the 4,OOU,000 of gold till Monday, and then adjourned.

Senator Hendricks, of Indiana, mad a great speech at Zaueaville, Ohio, on the 22d Inst., ironi the report of which in the Cincinnati Cummercail we make the fol lowlng extract upon the odious and infa- inous urtrenm amendment, tie aaiu re view ing what Gov. Morton said in his ne gro suffrage speech : The Governor next approached, In the course of his speech, the rliteenlD Amendment. He said to tue people of Ohio that they ought to ratifV that , amendment, but that It was not Impor tant whether Ohio sbould rainy il or not. Now as the Governor has expressed in that speech to the men ol Ohio his opin ion in the year 100 that they ought to rat ify the smendmeut, I propose to how you what view he held upon that subject bef.-re his party occupied It present posl- tiou. In the speech wm-c Motion made a: KichmouiJ, in me state ui tuuiana. w hile he nas Governor of tat) Slats, ou the lsth day of September just four years sgo Iftls mourn ne usea mis lan guage in regard to this question, lie was discussing Mr. Sumner's proposition, that in the Southern States the large body of the while people should be sxcludsxl from the ballot, and that It should be conr ieired upon the uegioes. I'pou that ques tion lite Governor used this language: "The Ural effect .will be to erect colored State govern ment, and in every Slate where there is a colored State gov ernment, to elect a negro for Gov ernor and negroes for Supreme Judge. While emigrants will cease : there will he no more white emigration to any wh Slates. You will absolutely shut it on al once, aud effectually from the Northern States and from Eu rope, too, whenever that eeiil shall hap pen. .Thus they will nent colored States the white men remain perms- al the Mouth; , who are uow there would remove not remain uuder such and would I lominion. He ; asks. ' I ( desirable to have col- ored Slate Governments?' I say it is i i It Is not for many reason. One reason is that such States would contlnu- ally constitute a balance of power. How ever clearly and strongly we msy admit itie natural ngnis in "" "?" i - to ihe Intelligent people that colored Stale I who have locked up gold In order to con goverun.enui are pot desirablO; tfPj tb market, and compel importers and. ifhtsofthe neiiro, 1 submit MEMPHIS, TENN, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 96, 1869. wo.ild bring about results that should not be hoped for, and would finally, I believe, result In a war of raoes." In regard to the personal litness and qualification of the negro to beavoterand a political power In this country. Gov. Morton used this language: " A I said fore, only one in five hundred can read. Many of them, until wiihin the last few months, were never off of Hie plantation : most of them never out of the county in which they live and were born, except as they wore driven by the slave driver. Can you conceive that a lsdy of men, white or blacli, whotiave been in this con dition, and their ancestors tiefore them, are qualified to lie immediately lifted from their present state into the fnll exercise or political power, not only to govern them selves and their neighbors, but to take part in the Government of the I'nited States? Can they be regarded m intelli gent or independent voters? The mere statement of the fact furnishes an answer to the question." The gentleman who expressed these views four years ago, in regard to the question of colored State Governments in the South, in regard to the qualifications of the negro for the exercise of political power. In 1809 say to the great State of Ohio, il is vour duty to ratify an amend ment to the Constitution of the I'nited States which will make them vote every where In the Tnion. But in a more solemn and important pa per than that from which I read. Gov. Morton aubsequently represented his views. In a message delivered by him as Governor of the State of Indiana tu the Legislature in the fall of 1865, he uses this language: The sublect of suffrAge. i-t, by the - ConsUtutlon expressly referred to the determination of the several -States, and it cannot be taken from them with out a violation of the letter and spirit of that instrument." As Governor, in a message, he said to the State of Indiana, you cannot take from the States the control of the ques tion of suffrage without violating the let ter and apirit of the Constitution of the L'nited States, and now he says to the people of Uhio, you ought to ratify the Fifteenth Amendment. In the message he weut on to say : "It is a fact so manifest Jhst it should not be called in question by sn v, that a people who are just emerging from the barbarism of slavery are not qualified tp become a part of our political system, and to take part, not only in the government of themselves and their neiirulHirs, but of the whole I'nited Statist. So far from be lieving that nogro suffrage is a remedy from all our national ills, I doubt whether it is a remedy for any, and rather believe that its enforcement by Congress would be mere likely to subject the negro ton war of races." But Gov. Morton tells the men of Ohio, in his speech, that there are three States fast. There are Virginia, Mississippi and Texas that are decided tc Q for it. And anyhow they are compelled to sup port the ameuduieut before they are to be allowed representation in Congress, under the late reeonst ruction acts. You know they haye had a good many conditions 1 upon which those tjtatos are to be admit, i ted to representation, andiasi spring they added one, and that condition was that these thri-.;statos, Virginia, Mississippi and Texas, should not be admitted unless they first ratified that Constitutional Amendment. In other words, il is said to a State f the I nion, "ion shall not le H,iTtH tn reu.-iusntatioti. that repre sentation that you are eulitled to under the Constitution of the I'nited States, un less you first ratify an amendment to the Constitution.1 ' Why the Constitution con templates the free judgment o:'tia;;h Stan. The Constitution, providing for an amend ment of itself, never contemplated that States should be. coerced or forced into an amendment, but that eaeh State of the .great family ahould vote upon her own judgment free and unbiased. But now they aay to three Stales: " You have got to vote to ratify the amendment, else you shall not have a representation in Con gress." 1 don t know, gentlemen, wnai those three States will do, but this much I hope, that it wilier of these States in judgment are opposed to toe ameiauiueat, 'bat such Stale will express her judgment and then let ski question stand squarely before the Congress or the l nitu iate, let the question stand squarelv beloie lb people, whsther a Stale is to be excluded front representation simply because she i won't amend the Constitution of the I'nited States according to the dictation -if a political party. What is this Fifteenth Amendment? The first yiw provides that the right of the Inlted States to vote, shau not be de nied or abridged because of raca. color, or previous condition of servitude; and the second section provides that Congress shall havo full power to pass all laws nec- essary to a: . this into effect. Such is the amendment. j"hai M MS olJe;-t of It? Gentlemen, the effect is to taite away from each Stats in this I'nion t he control anl regulation of the question that I mi - portant to her, as an luueoeiiiieii i iiieruoer of the confederacy. I believe thai tins question lsjlongs, of right, to the States, and it is a change lu the very nslure aud Iramework of our (iovernmeul to take It away from t he Stales and oouTer it upon Congress. Tn the name, then, --f ihe Slates, I object to this amend lueut. On behalf of our home Government, I object to it. He lire safest when we are protected by a Govern ment near by ua, where ihe public officers are responsible directly to the people. What does Congress any longer care for the will of ibe people, il tbey can carry tholr measures, pollch a, aud purposes? They do uot care any more what the people believe, or what the peo ple want. Thev are ready tomake pledges to you in advance of the election, and dis regard them as soou as the election is over. This Fifteenth Amendmeut hows this. GOLD. The Cause of the Late Gold Rumpus. VVashinotom, September 23. An ab eurd report was afloat here to-day to the effeet that the recent and unexpected in crease In the premium of jrold was in con sequence of the complications of our Government on the Cuba question, and so persistent have reports gone forth from ' this city to Northern papers of a disarue- mentbetween the ad in i nisi rst ion and tleu. Bickles,of his alleged unauthorized course in Msdrid, that ihe uold story found many believers. One of the objects of the reports in regard to Sickles' course was to force an advance in gold, and they may have had their influence to this end, but the j prime oause of the advance, as stated by Secretary Bout well to-day, was the work of an infamous combination on Wall atreet, a ring of Ramblers and blacklegs, others, whose necessities were prising, to go to them for their supplies. Mr. Bout well fe-i-s very coniident of his ability to smash the combinations, and st-ms wholly self-possessed In reference t the subject. What course he is to take can only be guessed at. VI RGINIA POLITICS. Tha Senatorial Campaign on the increase. WAsnTNuTON, September 23. Tho In terest in the Virginia Senatorial campaign increases daily, and although the contest develops but little excitement, the (set that the Legislature meets so soon as the tith of next month makes the subject one of considerable importance. The opinion that the Legislature will elect a Senator is expressed here, and the pre is known to favor an election. Oov. Walker will not lie a candidate for Senator, and the present indications cem to bo that Lieut. Gov. Lewis will be chosen as one Sena'r, and Oen. Bo!rt Williams the other. The latter, however, declines to enter the contest personally, and remains at hi duties in the War Departuent. His per sonal strength is very great, and his friends very active. TELEGRAPHIC MARKETS.

Important and Enthusiastic Railroad Meeting. $80,000 in Stock Subscribed for a Road to Memphis. Coi respomleiiee of the Appual. Nkw Ai.raht. Pontotoc Cocnty, I Memphis, September 22, ltttitt. , Ed Hurt Appeal : I see in your isstie of the ltitn Insjt., a notii.e of a railroad o,-ei ing, to be held at New Albany on the 21st, to take Into consideration and actively initiate a railroad from Middleton, on the Memphis and Charleston Bailroad, via Bipley to New Albany, a village situated ou the bead waters of the Talaliatchlo river, and in the northern part of Ponto toc uoiAity, Yesterday, the meeting was largely at tended, tinker one of nature's pavillions, a clump of sturdy oaks w hich stretched their leafy boughs alxnc, and protected the heads of the audience from Old Sol's rays while they listened to the several ad dresses delivered by Uen. Lowery, a Bev. Mr. tVahbasaOBL, pel, Jeff. Wilson, of Pon totoc, Col. Falkuer, of Bipley, aid Sft. p. T. Bond, of this place. The addresses were jusl sueh as suited the sturdy ypinsnry of this tg.-tiou. whiist ihey were forcible in argument. They apealed to the good sense of the audience, and as an evidence of the fact, the books were uo sooner opened for sub scri tio l, tl)an almost the eutire audience went iip to subscribe to shares, such as they knw lhsy would be ahle to pay when called upon. Kven the colored peiple subscribed liberally. The people are fully awake to the im portance of a railroad, al least to this point, anil are determintd to build it at any -,iiji. Thoy hays already a,boiit eighty thoqsaud -loflars subscrilied, and the ub tst was never agitated until about three weeks ago. Of course Memphis will help to build s road that will aud so HMtSh to her commercial Interest. To say nothing of the large amount of cotton that would be slopped to Memphis, it is the finest fru(t .-ouj'try we know of. Vegetables, noiliu v. milk and butter are hi r In the greatest prolusion, and ha.e to' remain Bern for the want of a road to carry them off. Being an old citizen of this county, and now a citizen of Memphis, I cannot but be intereslsil in an enterprise of so much importance to both sections. i Yours, etc., MAB Christ Oesertttd. Extract of a Sermon preuvnef in the I., mien Street Christian :hurch, Sttnduy, Septem ber mh, try Daini Walk, Pastor, Reported lor the Sunday Appeal. j The preacher read the greater jsjrt ion of Mark nlv, a..J the,, iuvited special atten tion to verse 50: "And thev all forsook him and fled." The speaker theu an nounced that his theme would be, "Christ Deserted." ll. said : The words of my text are very suggestive. True, they were spoken con cerning the immediate attendants of the Savior, but still I think them susceptible of a wider application. To a thoughtful person these words are calculated to stir ihe piofoundest depths of the soul. They proclaim a relation dissolved a union broken tender ties severed. Deep inter est is elicited, and we are ready to inquire, "Who was deserted? by whom was he deserted for. wfcat reason was he desert ed ? w hat consequences follow wl the deset tlon? We at once think of bad faith, of treachery, of cowsrdiee. These elements enter into the composition of every de serter. Without their existence there would be no such tiling as a deserter. Be assured that il you stand convicted of having deserted Chris, you al the same time stand convicted of infidelity, treach ery and moral eowardiue. To desert Christ argues a lackof moral principle, a wreck of that which is most essential to happi ness, and an absence of the elements of a genuine and noble manhood. N'o night so dark as the soul from which the light of the I,ord Christ has departed; no dis ease so remediless as sill When the Ureal Physician has abaudonedthe infected soul. The words of the text were sHkon of the disciples of Jesus, who, in that awful hour when the powers of earth and bell com bined to assault him, forsook him and lied. When, finally, the storm burst upon hi soul, no man stood by him. They had, indeed, pledged lealty to him; but at'last he trod the wine-press alone, and of the people there was none with him. Both pity and regret are excited, for in this history the weakness, waywardness aud depravity of the heart are indicated. Whether, however, it be noble or igno ble to desert a cauae depends upon Its charucter. It the cause ts had. desertion, becomes a sublime virtue; if good, then desertion is infamous. Confining our view to the human side of the qnestion, in the beginning Christian ity was an experiment. Its strength was not known; its principles had not been practically tested in Use lives of men; its power to" save was bat vaguely under stood. -' all is changed ; it is no longer an experiment; it has ceased to be a nov elty. As a divine system. It Is safely in trenched behind theBccumulated testi mony of the ages. Men may have for merly done. In comparative innocence, that which they cannot now do without incurring deep guilt and shame. To de sert Christ would be admissible on some sneh conditions as these: First, if it were probable that Christ would desert you; second, if by desertinir Him you can nnd a better leader; third, if Christ requires anything (even according to the hu man standard of right and justice) wring or unjust: fourth, if you have reason to question His power to save yon; fifth, if you can gain one goisi thing living or dying, in time or eternity that you cannot enjoy in him. Who, then, can desert Christ? What must lie the moral condition of that man who can deliberately desert such a Savior as Christ in? Men have deserted (jhrist, but have they made themselves happier? Ask the secret chamber ask the conch that gives no repose.the pillnwthat yields no slumber and these shall apeak of a wretched life, an uneasy spirit, misery and despair. These BsM walk the earth like .l:si-.)nteniel gn.-i-, eesiug rest, anu finding none. Again: v nen you neseri i onsiyou in sert, 1. Humanity s best menu; z. aim whom si has annomted above all otners; 3. The only representative you have In Heaven. Here the preacher remarked thas while we might have many in Heav en dear to us as our parents, children, etc. still Christ is our only representa tive there. Friends, loved ones, may plead for ns, but only the voice of Christ is potent. He alone can save. Iet us now inquire wno n is inai de serts Christ. 1. Those who leave his doc trine for some other; 2. Those who for sake his ordinancesand worship; i. Those who show not bis spirit; 4. lhose wno lovehimless than the word; 6. All who refuse to submit to his authority. Ihe speaker elaliorated each of these, and oth er points, very briefiy, observing that it was his ourpose to Is suggestive rath- , exhaustive, Pinallv, When may we desert f hrist 7 I When we can demonstrate that man la all animal; 2. When we need no mer cy When men cease to die and go to the judgment: 4. When sin becomes better, and more to lie desired, than holi ness; 5. When the sliiuer,becomesstro,r4g er than Christ. "Till then nor is my boasting vain, Till then I'll boast a Savior slain, And Ql may this my glory lie. That Christ" is not ashamed of me!" The Savior's life on BMtk as a proto type of his spiritual existence in the fbr t'unes of his Church. Was he treated with ingratitude by those most deeply in-lei, ie.l to him? So, ever since, has he been treated with ingratitude by those for whom he laid down his life? Was he betrayed into the hands of his enemies by one" of h.h professed friends? qo has ha bean betrayed, countless times. by those who have sworn allegiance to his throne. Was he sold to his murderer fr money? So. in their gre -d for gain, have sonie bartered his blood for gold.

The total held by them, therefore on the 1st of September, was less than we supposed, being about on.mii bales, against ;J,fHMJ bales last year.

Hence to permit of the same consumption the coming season as during the season which has just closed, the cotton production of the worm must oo increased to that extent. lUit this year the average weekly uonsumption of Great Britain has been about U000 bales less than (luring the same period of 1867-8. while the Contineut and the United States have probably together also consumed about ;i000 bales hi per week:, if, thercubr, the mills this ststson return to the consumption of 107-8. 1100.000 bales additional will lie needed, or in all an Increased produc tion of 0iJ,0U0 hales, without allowing ! any accumulation of-stock.
