a proposition to adjourn to New Orleans will
doubtless be made. Now, although we think the
Leeklstare should hold its sessions in the CONNER
eial capital, from which communication with all
parts Of the Sonfederaey is safe and expeditions
and hold that the seat Of government should never
have been removed from this metropolis, still the
Constitution peremptorily declares that the ses-
sions shall be held at the seat Of government y
We see no means of getting over this express
order, so far as an adjournment of sessions is con
cerned; and as the dissolution of the late Aneri-
can Union was brought about and the present war
inaugurated. solely because the Northern people
peFslstently dsobeyed the requirements Of the Fed
eral Constitution, We hope to see no such malign
influences prevail in our midst. Let our Legisla-
ture set their faces like steel against any violations
OF the kind. Let the Constitution be rigidly re-
spected and enforced and the rights of the citizen
secured to him beyond 7peradyenture. In this
alone is there safety. Any deviation sets a dan

TALK ON CHANGE.

Saturday was devoted to the war elements, and
though the streets in general were crowded to ex-
cess, the flags of Carondelet were deserted BY the
habitues. Counting houses, offices and warehouses
were all closed. The telegraph wires brought no.
thing important from distant parts, and the day
was devoted to the grand future of the country,
and even yesterday there was very little else talked
Of than the grand review of Saturday. 3f
Accounts we're received yesterday that the naval
dition for entueky was progressing finely to-
wards its destination, and that the great floating
battery was going on finely. Wejdislike to say
any more Of the movements of this expedition, as
the Internal spies and Black Republican sympa-
thizers will be sending of their bearers of dis
patches. There was some talk last evening Of the
Withdrawal of the Third Mississippi Regiment,
Col Deasonls, from the seashore, andof its en-
barkaton for Columbus last evening. This leaves
the seashore Of Mississippi Sound unprotected,
though there is nothing, Of consequence for the
picayune marauders to steal but a few chickens,
pigs and COWS. The villages offer nothing more 10
attract their attention. 80
The steamer Magenta, which arrived yesterday
from Memphis, brought two hundred bales of cot
ton, consigned to and for account of Messrs. PUG
Brothers, intended for shipment to Spain or Mex
leo. It was purchased at one of the inland depots,
and was allowed TO come hitler by special per
mission Of the authorities, as this house has made
arrangements for the expectation of cotton. II is
not supposed this will be the only consignment to
their address, as we learn they have liberty to
bring to the city two hundred bales at any one
time. We do not know how our transportation.

this winter. There are more hogs at the South
than at the North and less population to feed.
The corn crop was an abundant one, and the sup
ply Of hogs is ample. We should bear in mind
that an unusual quantity Of beef will be sailed and
dried this winter and go far to supply the place Of
pork. The army viii consume and waste great
