New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1861-05-07
TALK ON ,cHANGE,

The general talk yesterday did not amount to
much. The sun came out too powerful for both
sides Of rue Carondelet to be occupied. Jamison's,
corner of Grayier and Carondeet, and Ogden's,
on Common street, were the chief resorts until past
meridian. The chief topics were, of course, the
war and blockade, with a few remarks about the
money market As for the constant palavering
about money, it is no use to continue it. There ia
more money in the country than ever before, and
there are fewer liabilities at this time in this Sec
ton than for years past holders of the dross do
not choose to part with it, why it can't be helped.
Alta late hour it was announced that the wreck
of the ship Ironsdes had been removed, and that
the bar at Pass a-r0utre was free and uuobstruct-
ed. There was some talk that one of the gun-brgs,
the Perry, would be off the Balize shortly; that
she was spoken to few days since off the Capes
Of Virginia in tow of a tug bound South. If this
is the first instalment for the blockade of the Mis-
sssippi, twill not require much fighting to place
her out Of the way, she is only mounted with six
guns.
The further talk was, that the steamer Bicnville
which has been running all the season from our
port to Network is now employed in transporting
troops from New York to Washington City. 1t
would not be surprising to learn that the Cahawba,
Of the same line, should be likewise employed. It
will not be forgotten that the Cahawba was seized
in our port few days since and suffered to de-
part. Though the seizure was Irregular it could
have been made regular.
The steamer Texas returned yesterday from Gal
weston. This ship. with the Tennessee and Hewes,
were seized for good and sufficient causes. They
are registered as New York vessels, and if allowed
TO go there, we might expect to hear of them next
as being of some Of the Southern ports under
charter to Lincoln, Seward & Co. Further, the
Tennessee has an implied contract with the old
Government to transport the mails to Vera Cruz
Old Abe's minions might seize her down there, and
send her elsewhere. There is one man-of-war Of
the old concern at Vera Cruz.
The Texas was not released yesterday, and, of
course, cannot depart for Galveston to-day.
Towards O'clock it waxed very dull on the flags
yesterday, with the heat being rather strong for
| the time Of year.
We received something of apleasurable and gra-
flying character, recognizing the great and good
services Of our fellew-citizen, Capt John Wilson,
