TALK ON CHANGE.

Though better feeling was observable on
Carondelet street yesterday, with larger sales of
cotton than on the three previous days, there was
desire to wait and hear from New York. The
long and short of all this apparent dependence on
New York is, that we have been traed with. New
York cannot help New Orleans in the present
emergency it has as much as it can do to take
care of ITSELF large majority of the sixty banks
in New York City would sooner aid the grain bills
than they would bills based on cotton or drawn
against cotton. The telegraphc dispatches from
New York received yesterday only strengthen the
opinion that the New York banks will suspend
that they are only waiting to hear from Europe.
fdis asinapoYte we will look at home, talk of home
and await the coming of events. 5-
The arrivals from sea and from the West serve
to keep up lively state of affairs the levee.
The receipts of cotton light, very light, yes
terday. Planters are in earnest in holding back,
particularly those who free of debt 1t is hoped
that none who have received advances will refuse
to send forward and protect their factors. The
stock of sugar and molasses on the great depot is
liberal. The gmlet rangers are in good humer,
but they keep somewhat num- about that Black
Republican grocer hailing from Boston, who was
on the depot last week buying or desiring to buy
some few hundred hogsheads for the Boston mar
ket. Many of the Northern and Western dealers
or buyers of sugar and molasses are growing wiser
every day, more discreet; do not give any express
sions whatever about politics. Some of them seem
to appear as though they never heard of Abraham
Lincoln.
Among the most gratifying events of yesterday
was the announcement that the repairs on the
jackson Railroad are so far completed that the
full
operation from and after tomorrow, the 9TH inst.
The mails now go regular, as before the recent
| storm.
There appears to be some difficulty Gas in other
places) in Memphis about moving cotton, on ac-
count of the difficulty in exchange matters. The
| last weeks receipts in Memphis reached l9,500
| bales. The stock on hand there now is Al 793
bales. The total receipts at Memphis for the sea,
son were l6l 64l bales against l55 20s bales same
time last year.
OF course there was some talk on the flags about
what Congress will do. Well, what will it do
what can it do more than assemble, listen to the
reading of President Buchanan's message and refer
it to the different committees? For all the good il
can or will do, it might as well adjourn next Satur
day night, sine die. As most every ones mind i
made up about the secession movement, the only
talk on the flags regarding it is the great feeling
and unanimity in regard to the movement. If there
is cotton factor appearing on our flags daily, OF
| cotton broker of standing advocating or friendly
to conservatism, we should like to have him point
ed out. Talking about factors brings up some re
marks about proposed meeting to be held las
| evening in the office of the Chamber of Commerce
1t was abandoned early in the day. The regular
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was helt
Al,r
no part of their deliberations. A meeting of thu
Presidents of the banks was expected to be held
to talk on the present posture of financial matters
If the convention agree on any movement it vii
be made public if it does not there will be no NOR
talk about it.
In our talk yesterday we remarked on the entr.
in the log book of the steamship Galveston, pub
lished in our marine list. Captain Cook, of tn
ship Jacob Horton, replies to the extract and re
marks. We should infer from the direct denial AM
explanation of Captain Cook, there was some erro
in the extract from the Galyeston's log. We Civ
the Captain hearing, and are gratified to learn
as do from other and highly responsible sources
, that the owners of the Horton are entirely FIRE
: from being Black Republicans. The ship is owne
by Messrs. French, Horton J. H. Boardman an
Captain Cook, of Newburyport. Mr. French is
! Breckenridge man; Mr. Horton Bell man, and
member of the county committee; Captain Boart
. man is also Bell man. With the confirmation bt
fore us of the views Of the owners Of the ship, an
1 the letter of Captain Cook, published below, ther
must be some error in the report of the Galveston
7 though the report speaks of Capt. Gray as maste
of the ship. 1t would be gratifying to Us to hay
q the exculpation of many other vessels and ownel
i, from the charge of Black Repubeanism in as sa
g isTactory manner as we have from the friends
l, the Jacob Horton and owners:
