TALK ON CHANGE.

The gatherings on Carondelet street and enyirons
yesterday were free, that is, large and numerous.
There was much disappointment expressed and
considerable chagrin evnced at the failure of
the Northern mails. Our community has been
three days without mail from the North and East.
On Wednesday the mail failed from beyond Chatta-
nooga, on Thursday and yesterday from beyond
the Grand Junction. AT this season these repeated
failures are an outrage. There have been no
storms nor earthquakes lately to occasion them.
There will be due this morning four mails from
northward of Washington City, If they should all
happen to come in together, they will not be dis
tributed in toto till tomorrow that will make FIVE
days that this community will have been without
its correspondence. No blame can be attached to
the Jackson Railroad Company. The trains Of this
Company have arrived twice per day regularly
There is something rotten in the Tennessee line 1t
is hoped Mr.. Postmaster General Holt will apply
the remedy.
After meridian everything on the flags was calm
and quiet. Cotton was dull and dropping, under
the extreme depression in exchange. With in
creasing trouble in negotiation, this was expected
consequently there were no feelings of disappoint-
ment expressed.
The election to take place on Tuesday next seem
ed to be uppermost in the minds Of large majority
of the frequenters of the flags. AS it is only two
business days of, a very short space of time will
intervene before some defined course will be
marked out by politicians. Northern dcmagogues
and politicians in general can blow away against
| The South and its staples. Not only cotton and
sugar is the South dealing out, but wheat corn and
-four are under its control, which will throw into
lap all the gold, or its equivalent that may be
A.
ton requires any aid. Cotton will be readily taken
and paid for at good prices, which prices mean
such as can be agreed on between buyer and seller.
If the cotton market was exceedingly quiet yester-
day, that il nothing, because il exchange cannot
be negotiated gold will be coming hither forthwith
or just it is ascertained that bills cannot
be passed. 1t is not question of time, but only
question of a few days delay. In the meantime,
it s not out Of place to say that the staple is sub
ject, for the nonce. to the laws of exchange.
