Mr. Chandler, of Pullman Palace Car Line on the Louisville road, has again furnished us the latest Nashville and Louisville papers ahead of the mails. To day Esquire Miller and other mem bers of the Special Committee went down to inspect the pest house recently erected one and a half miles below the city. The smoky appearance of (be Arkan sas woods has given rise to the report that we are now enjoying Indian sum mer, which will be followed by squaw winter. " Please don't shoot the cow" is a sign n the vicinity of this city, intended as a warning to ambitious sportsmen who chase the whirring partridge with un tiring energy but with little success. The murder of 'American citizens by the Spanish authorities of Cuba was the subject of much comment .throughout the city to-day. The horrible massacre excites the greatest indignation among all classes of our citizens.' To-day Esquire Miller sent W. J. Wooten, a youth, to jail without bail to await an examination on the charge of attempting to dispose of a mule sup posed to have been stolen. The investi gation will be had on Monday. The proprietor of the Leixier will put up two presses at the Exposition, from which tba daily edition of the paper will be thrown off.

The bayou Gayoso is by nature adapted for the purpose of sewerage. It should be made the great main duct through which the filth of the city may be dis posed of. The title to the land lying between the banks of the bayou Gayoso is in the city or in the original propria tors. The value of the land reclaimed by making the sewer would bn almost equal to the necessary outlay; at least so insists a correspondent. As linguists the editorial fraternity of our city can claim a high position. An Avalanchian representative chats and writes in French, German, Italian and Hebrew in fact, in all tba modern languages except the English. The Appeal man makes love in Spanish, writes the German and whispers in Chocktaw. The Register worthy has a smattering of five modern and two an cient lingos, which he sandwiches to gether most mysteriously, yet charm ingly. . m .

' A Vicksburger and bride arrived in the city yesterday, and put op at one of our leading hotels. The bridegroom at tended the theater with tome friends, but being induced to drink the health of the bride rather too often became Rip Van Winklish. He was arrested, and unfortunately a pistol was found in his possession, which left mm witn a State case on his hands, and placed him in a position requiring a heavy bond to answer before the Criminal Court, or in default of bond to sleep in the station house during the night. In the mean time the bride knew not why the object of her affections lingered or was absent. Upon the delicate surroundings of the case being explained to the Chief of Police, be, being a married man, knew how it was himself as to the absolute ne cessity of husbands being at home, and concluded that as the unfortunate was a stranger and just married he had tome excuse for being intoxicated with joy, however, instead of vile whisky. The Chief delivered a sound moral lecture, and the bridegroom was permitted to depart in peace. Baakraptey Bale, Messrs.

Tnx.. November 15. 1873.1 honet: A better feeling prevails in the money market than has been experienced for the past several days. The heavy ship ments of cotton this week and general revival of trade partially restored con fidence in financial circles, and money is somewhat easier. Deposits are in creasing, but the bankers are giving more atteution to the removal of cotton than accommadating customers in the way of discounting. Exchange is steady but active; New Orleans and New York sight is 2, on Boston and Providence Jc. The bank checking rate on Newlork and New Orleans against curreney is par. Gold it scarce, with few transac tions in New York;- it opened at 109J an advance of lie since yesterday. Dealers here are offering 10S(g I08l for r?ind lots and selling over the counter at 109(J109J. Silver is quoted at 102. City and coupty warrants, as well as bonds, remain quiet, with no transac tions. State stocks are not in request Arkansas and Mississippi securities re main quiet, with nothing doing in them. COTTOB.
