THrTRsnhyG MORNING ApRrh IL, 1861.


The perturbation and dsquetude Under which
the movements on the flags OF Carondeet street
closed on Tuesday, were greatly alleViated among
the gatherings yesterday morning. The sensation
dispatches were contradicted. No feet of vessels
have been seen of Charleston harbor, or had not
up to yesterday neon. Whether the telegraph was
used by stock-tobbers aud brokers in Washington
City and New York, it is hardly worth the trouble
- to inquire. All confidence in the telegraph move
ments is gone; nevertheless, the good and cheer"
full feeling which prevailed previous to the receipt
of the feet accounts was not recovered yesterday.
The Bears had it all their own way in cotton, eX-
change and stocks, though the flags wore very
quiet appearance throughout the day. 1t is useless
for the Bears to attempt to create the impression
that there will be collision Of arms. Not word
from Washington City, received via the telegraph
is worthy of the least credence. The general dis
patches from NewYork may be placed in the same
category; that the fieebooters are coming, there
remains not doubt which will be known before
seven days pass.
There has been meeting held in Kentucky re-
monstratng against the Custom-house of the Con
federated States at Norfolk, (Nelms Landng) on
the Mississippi. We beg our Kentucky friends not
to be alarmed-the requirements of the Treasury
Of the Southern Confederacy will not cause any
delay nor obstruction Moreover, we desire to in
form oil residents, merchants and dealers in Ken
tucky that they can import all goods and merchan-
die through the mouths of the Mississippi and the
port of New Orleans at very triding rates of duty
from oue-third to two-thirds less than they i'm
port through the Northern States, provided the
ffeebooters of Abraham Lincoln do not attempt to
blockade the mouths of the Mississippi. Perhaps
then the Legislature might have opportunity of
demonstrating and protesting against Lincoln
Seward & Co.
From Arkansas we have little short talk of the
following pnrport: y..
Arkansas, Walnut PLANS
March 3d. 1861. {
We are suffering from tightness of money mat
tiers, owing to the great and exciting question of
secession. Our Convention has passed an ordi-
nance Of secession, to be submitted to the people
on the first Monday in August, TWAS all we could
do mean the seceasionists-and SO soon as that
day comes, we go out of the Union of Black Re-
publicanism, and unite with the Confederate
States--that is Arkansas true destiny. Let our
separation from Republicansm and Aboionism
- s final and foreyer-that is my motto.
Better late than never, though If Arkansas had
acted as she ought to have done, and seeded at
once, she would have the glory and renown of as
sisting and forming one of the greatest Republics
of this or any other age. The ctzens of Arkansas
will long regret the day that they allowed the sub
mssionsts to rule the State and delayed their act
of secession.
There was some talk that since the withdrawal
of the freebooters' gunboats, the Mohawk, CRU
sader and Wyandotte from the coast of Cuba, the
black birds are having fine time. Spring time of
year is always favorable for setting and Matching.
The eggs are laid somewhere on the coast Of
Africa, and the incubation reaches its point on the
south side Of Cuba.
The war reports, Or rather the fighting reports,
occupy much Of the talk on the flags. The sooner
meantime, there is some little talk now and then
about the confederate loan. The money, to take
every dollar, is available, and as there cannot be
any better security than cotton, confidence in the
loan increases as the time approaches for the
opening Of the books. We refer to figures under
financial head which we published on the 18th
nit, and now republish, and also call attention to
the circular of the 4th instant from the Secretary
of the Treasury Of the Conederated States.
The European mails by the America came
through yesterday. The private correspondence
reads very well in a financial view Commercially,
the adviees are $3.50. From what we learn it
will require very reduced estimates from this side
10 send Middling Orleans up to Sd.
There were some mail bags received yesterday,
and the contents were partially distributed
Will Postmaster Riddcl have the goodness to re-
move the awkward, outlandish steps, which SO
greatly interfere with the delivery from the boxeg
What bonus was granted 10 the inventor Of these
steps?
