SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER q, 1860.
TALK o4 "g4AaaE-

The week cloacs under some improvement, OK
rather increase in business bat nothing to boast
Of. The receipts OF cotton continue on free
scale and the stock daily accommodating Offers bet
ter selections. There are very few Of tho Euro
peQn buyers returned from titeir annual j4uut over
tile water. The talk s, that great many who
were on our flags last season aud the SEASON pre-
vious will not appear ths season, hat their places
will be filed with new Gspirants for commercial
fame and Lhe dignity of Z cotton operator. 1t is
anticipated that two new appearcrs will be on our
flags against one compelled to disappear.
Carondelet street was tolcrably well thronged
yesterday. The JOB and ceremony Of shaking
hands and saying how do you do has been
marked feature for some days past. IL will take
some time to get through this ceremony. Among
the arrivals at New York Eiom Europe iB Our cid
aud venerable citizen, VIM. W. Montgomery. He
is improved in health, and is expected on our flags
in few days.
Under our financial head this morning will be
found very recherche circular, emaRating from
Manchester. lis about as rich q moroccan as has
fallen under our observation for some time. 1t will
be observed that Manchester is going to teach our
factors how 70 sell cotton. The talk H. something
is green besides grass, and something refreshing at
times, including rain, Whether such talk as this
has anything to do with the circular in question,
we saith not.
There was some talk Of a recession in freghts !;
that ID. to Liverpool was the current rate yeser-
day. Many lne ships are arriving ia port, Freights
are we'll maintained in Ncw York, l303l3ld. being
the current rate on grain to Liverpool. Whether
this rate pays better than to come to New Orleans
and load at ID, we shall learn wheu the winter
voyages are heard of.
Our citizens are returning by hundreds daily,
and strangers ere doeking here from every part OF
the habitable globe, to carry away the good dol
lars of the South, per chance, if they accumulate
them There is an abundance of employment for
all mechanics, artisans aud iaborers, with the best
of pay; and men that will work will find no diff
Guilty in obtaining employment. We do not want
any accession or increase to uur "genteel popula-
tion.h No more persons seeking employment as
clerks, young M.D.'s, or wouId.be counsellors.at-
law. We have an abundance of them of the manor
born. We beg them for their own good to stay
away.
The late storm continues to be talked of. The
effects have been disastrous in the extreme, par.
ticularly so at some places. Pascagoula and BIZ
loXcare the only Gulf shore villages where serious
losses have occurred. AT Mississippi City the chief
damage was ocoasioned by water. The tide bad
risen right up, as it were, some people say four
feet in one hour With the exception Of the blow
ing down of an out building at Palmetto place,
Tegarden's Hotel, and part of an out building at
Col. Barnes, there was no damage only to the
washing away of the bath houses, the accompany
ing wharves and destruction Of fences. The bath.
houses and wharves are calculated to be washed
away about once in every three years.
The fences in and around Barnes Hotel are al
ready being replaced, and as soon lumber can
be obtained all proprietors will be at work putting
up things anew. Col. Barnes has contracted for a
new wharf, which will be commenced immed
ately. The mills and lumber yards on Bayou Ber
| nard, Handsboro back of Mississippi City, suf
| fered but slightly. Piles of lumber were washed
from one side of the bayou to the other, but will
be recovered. At Pass Christian the only damage
was in bath houses and the public wharves, will
some damage to fences on the low land They
had several feet to spare from the water at this
place. At Bay St. Louis. with the exception Of
bath houses and wharves, the damage was slight
though the tide was as high as at other places
The public wharf was carried away, or rather, the
planks. Proprietor artin had the pier head in a
state Of repair and on Thursday was receiving
seph's Island was partly washed away. 1t is no
great loss fer it has never been used. The new
lighthouse on Mesilia Bank the Square Hand,
kerchief, stood the storm we'll. So did the light
house at Pass Christian, and the lighthouse on
Ship Island likewise Tho lighthouse on Cal
Island is injured.
The storm of the 18th September has caused
| greater damage than any previous one because i
not so violent and strong as the great gale in 1919
say Al years ago, when Cat Island was submerged
and the then little town of Biloxi inundated witt
| water--so much SO, that schooner passed righ
over what is now the town into the back bay. Tn,
loss Of life in 1919 was great. The greatest los
| Of life was in 1922, when several vessels wert
wrecked and others foundered off the Bay of st
| Louis. Many remarks are made that this recen
| gale has been the most severe known, undoubt
| edy ii has to thousands of the present generation
| The villages will all be in life and animation befort
the next summer comes round, particularly Missis
| sippi City, the Pass and the Bay. We cannot tall
| so much of Biloxi, not having been there.
There was considerable talk among those inter
ested in the sea shore suburbs, of the action of th
owners of the steamer Creole in refusing to ALLOW
the boat to land stop at the town of Biloxi. Th
general talk, particularly among those versed il
commerce, is that the owners are justified in tn
course adopted. It cannot be expected that own
ers OF steamboats, or other vessels will allow then
to trade with places where property and right
cannot be protected. 1t will be observed tha
uublie notice is given that the steamer Creole wi
not stop at the town of Biloxi for the present

indiscreet conduct Of two or three dozen ind
