Money Matter*, JLe.

The New York Cost of Wednesday, says— The demand for money continues active, pro

paratory to the approaching heavy payments in

the di v goods trade. After the middle of this month jobbers acceptances will fall due in large amounts. The banks discount to the extent ot

their receipts, w hich are large, but do not, we

are informed increase their bums. 1 he rates

for money are steady at 19 >xi 15 per cent, for

prune bills, and 15 xt *> tor second class, while call v\a> as easy as 7 pel cent. Railroad securities, unless accompanied by two or three indivi- dual liabilities ot le'ponsiblity, are not advanced on by the banks.

The Boston Journal of Wednesday, says— The Money market continues stringent. The

demand is not active, but rates hold the advanced quotations given tor the last week. 1 he lowest figuie tor first class paper is l‘> per cent, and from thi' to 19 includes within its range the bulk ot negotiations on satisfactory securities of ev ery description.

The New York Journal oi Thursday, say>. The money market i> easier: prime business

j*aj*er is more in demand at 19 xi 19 per cent.,

and the quantity offered ts decreasing. I here is less objection to long dates, and 0 or 8 mo>.

notes sell quite readily where the signatures are

well known.

By Y€*ter«lay’» Southern Mall.

We learn from the Lynchburg Virginian that a serious accident occurred on the Vir-

ginia and Tennessee Railroad last Weilnes- ; dav morning, above Big Spring Depot. The downward freight train, in passing the Trestle work, came in contact with three dirt cars which had been negligently left on the track, aud the engine was thrown off, de- tached from the train, and precipitated some

sixty feet over the embankment. The engi- neer succeeded in leaping from the engine to

one of the freight cars: but the conductor, Mr. Conner, and the fireman, a free negro went down with it. The hitter was killed instantly, and the conductor severely, per- haps fatally injured. The engine is said to be a perfect wreck.

On Tuesday at Louisa Court House, a man

by the name of John Thacker, was arrested

and committed to jail, on a charge of stealing the pocket book of Mr. Winston Melton, con-

taining $500. The pocket book was found on

the person of Thacker, with $500 of the mon-

ey in it.

An erroneous statement is going the rounds of the papers, to the effect that a negro named

Sprigs was murdered near the Black Heath Pitts a few days ago. The fact is, that Sprigg himself stabbed a negro named Win. wliosub- se^uently died.

“7 On Wednesday evening last, Mr. B. Henry

llolschcr was taken sick and died very sud- ;

j deulv, as is generally supposed, from the effects of poison. The poison is believed to i

have been administered in a glass of whiskey.

Dr. F. J. Metteaur, at present Professor of j Chemistry, in Hampden Sidney College in

LOCAL ITEMS.

Mr. Rolls, who was so seriously injured a

few days since, while attempting to couple two cars, at the depot of the Orange and Al- exandria Railroad, is still in a critical condi- tion, though he was slightly better yesterday.

The Fall trade, though backward this sea-

son, is commencing, and our merchants are

well prepared to meet the demands of the country. We advise our country friends to

try this market before purchasing elsewhere.

The travel to this place is increasing rapidly, and daily we notice large arrivals of

strangers. Our Hotels and boarding houses are doing a tine business, most of them being full.

The steamship Martin Hoffman, which sailed from this port on Wednesday, broke some of her machinery, and was compelled to

return yesterday. The Alexandria Canal is now in tine navi-

gable order, and boats are arriving in con-

siderable numbers. The coal wharves present a very animated appearance.

The remains of the late Col. Silas Burke were taken to his residence, at Burke’s Sta-

£^MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.

New Orleans, Sept. 13.—For the last two

days our city has been the scene of the wild- est excitement, growing out of a series of

fearfully bloody riots between the Know Nothings and our Irish citizens.

Several persons on both sides have been killed and wounded.

The first outbreak occurred on Sunday t evening last, when a number of the rioters were shot before the disturbance was quelled. One of the wounded men died the following day.

On Monday evening the riots were renew-

ed with increased violence of feeling on both

sides. A great many of the rioters, however, were badly injured by pistol shots and other

deadly missiles. Several bouses, occupied by the Irish, were seriously damaged, and in a few cases they were completely gutted.

On Tuesday evening, the struggle was

again renewed, wheu two of the rioters wore

killed, and a large number wounded. The

Mayor, then immediately ordered out the National Guards and the entire police force, since which time no further rioting has taken

place. The military and police are kept in readiness for instant action.

The most intense excitement prevails over

the entire city, and apprehensions of the most fearful character are generally enter-

tained.

Hartford, Sept. 15.—Samuel Church, Chief Justice of the State of Connecticut, died at Newtown, on AV cduc-sday evening last, aj;ed seventy years.
