TALK on CHANGE.

I .
| The gatherings were few and far between yes
terday, and very little talk, only about the posi-
ton of affairs in Missouri It is believed that the
Black Republicans have beenwen beaten in one
| or more battles. AS regards the telegraphic dis
patches from Virginia, they are not deemed worthy
Of credence-they are too much mixed up. 1t is
palPable that great deal of stuff and nonsense is
forwarded through our enemies. The telegraphic
| lines might as well be placed at once under strict
| martial law.
There have been many remarks about the sup.
posed great Mr.. Russell, LIZ D., as he signs him
self. That be has trided, banboozled and violated
the confidence of our citizens who received him
cordially and finally, there is not doubt. We
| never talked much about the Individual, because
We never entertained 50 high an opinion of him as
other citizens. Mr.. Russell arrived in New York
from England about the middle Of March last. On
| the 9Th of April we talked as follows of the ndi-
yidnal; we cannot call him gentleman now:
The London Times is sorely worried about the
Northern or Morrill, tariff, and says it is strange the
Southern Congress enters bravely upon policy of
| free trade. The Times will be wiser as it grows
older. Perhaps its correspondent now id this
country wilt enlighten its readers in regard to the
Confederate States II the remarks, however made
by the said correspondent at Il public dinner in
New York a short time since are to be considered
Thunderer will not be much enlightened in regard
to the position Of the Confederated States Of
America.
What we said in the above few lines has been
corroborated to the fullest extent.
Our respected contemporaries, the Delta on our
left and the Pieayune on our right, have been
pouring grape and shot into the non. distinguished
LII. D. The Delta goes beyond, and gives Mr.. Rus
sell and Mr.. Mpre double 64-pounder something
more than Paixhan. The Delta takes a broaa
just and comprehensive view of the question 1t
goes further 1t questions very justly the right of
Mr. Mure to ofliciate as the representative of the
British Government. The Confederate States as
sumo to be an Independent Confederacy; they are
in position to maintain their independence Mr.
Mure holds his exequateur from the old defunct
Government. He has not been Commissioned to
actin the Southern Confederaey. The Executive
of the State of Louisiana has compromised the
dignity of the State and sovereignty of the Con
federate States by condescending to hold written
correspondence with him. Until the Southern Con
fedefacY is recognized by European powers, the
representatives OF such powers are no more than
ordinary citizens. All foreign Governments have
been advised through their legations at the old de-
fuuet capital OF the secession of several Southern
States. If they do not choose to acknowledge the
secession and Government, we cannot help it.
Bnt the Confederate States of America have no
right to recognize Mr.. Mure as the representative
of Great Britain until he is duly commissioned as
such. There are no two ways ON this point.
The further talk was, that it is hoped General
Beauregard will not be bamboozed by Mr. Russell
LID, d Ia Pensacola and Fort Morgan AS re-
CARDS Mr.. Russels Oh. I. views of Fort Morgan,
we have bit of history TO give him to show that
he knows nothing about forts and batteries their
capabilities of siege and standing of fire, though
he was in the Crimean campaign.
There was little doing on the flags, and they
were deserted at an early hour.
The steamer Creole, arrived last evening from
Mississippi Sound, reports all quiet and tina old
RAbe's steamer had not been within gun shot of
Ship Island. Sue was seen off the Chandelier
Islands on Thursday, eoalng from schooner and
patching up. We desire to inform the authorities
that the withdrawal of the troops from the main.

tbas the Massachusetts can come through the South
Pass with 10 to II feet, and then move through
Mississippi Sound five or six miles inside of Ship
Island. 1t is suggested that the authorities keep
ut least afull regiment Of troops on the mainland,
from Pass Christian to Biloxi. Possibly tie Gov.
eraorscf Mississippi will act after a while, as we
learn that full brigade of troops has been called

August. Old Abe's light-dfaught steamers and
gunboats will be along about that time TO pre-
pare for them, the strongstugboats now lying at
5lapghfer-H House Point ought to be pressed forth

Sound. Governor Moore, Governor Peltus, and
all others in authority, We tell you at once that
delays are dangerous.
