New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1861-10-15
TALK ON sCHANGE,


quietly on the flags yesterday. On Canal, on Camp
on les petite rues Royal and Charities, there were
| numerous gatherings. Crinoline made great dis
| play, considering it is war times. But Carondeet,
| alas, King Cotton has withdrawn his sceptre, and
the grass begins to sprout. But this is favorable
omen; it shows an All wise Providence is watchiug
over us, fayoring US with that mildness calmness
nd serenity Of climate which is productive of the
highest and most beneicent returns.
The inquiry is again repeated, from whence
come so many people as are seen on our streets ~
Our authorities have enacted that no person shall
leave the city without passport This is not suf-
6cient. A rule should forthwith be adopted that
every person arriving in the city should report at
the Adjutant- Generals office 1t is OF no use to be
in the least squegmish in this matter. The rule
will haveto be adopted, if not martial law. Spies
and sympathisers of the Northern despotism are
plenty they come in every guise and form. The
Mayor Of Mobile has notified all persons arriving in
that city 10 report at his office. There is no bust:
ness doing to warrant the appearance of SO many
hundreds, yea, thousands of strangers in midst
at this time. The joining of military company on
the part of many of these new corners is only to
cover Interior designs, bodng no good to our CON-
munty.
Ii
ton was to have met yesterday at Maeon, Ga. The
city Of New Orleans and State of Louisiana will not
probably be represented. We have not heard Of
any delegates being appointed by our Chamber of
Commerce, nor any meeting of merchants and
planters. We have no faith in conventions, never
had nor never expect to have.
{ Later adyces from, Europe were talked of as
having been received yesterday. The advance of
ID. in cotton for the week ending the I'd of Sep
TENDER is confirmed. This, however, only sends
Middlng Orleans up to l0d. There appears to be
much expectation the other side of the Atlantic
that foreign vessels viii be allowed to pass the
blockade, enter cotton ports, and take cargoos
away if they bring gold to pay for it. 1t would be
well il our trans Atlantic friends could be diverted
from these views. Not a bale of cotton will be
allowed to be shipped from OUT leyee. What may
be done in clsndestine manner will not amount
to much.
/ From all the talk it was confidently entertained
that the blockade would have been disregarded by
Great Britain ere this. The large squadrons of
armed vessels have not yet appeared on our shores
and if the blockade is to be broken, we have got
do it ourselves, q la HoIlins. The impression is,
that there was good opportunity for the entrance
of vessels via Pass a-fOutre on Saturday last The
transport captured, instead of being fine first
class ship, worth $4,000 turns out to be the
schooner Joseph FL. Toone loaded with coal.
Mas nSalpofte, the coal is wanted, and the Rich
mond can look elsewhere for supply. This
schooner sailed from Berwck's Bay on the 9th of
August for Havana under British eolors. Our fell
low.citizen, j. w. Zscharie, was passenger on
board. On her return voyage she was captured,
taken to Key West, end loaded with coal for &C.
count of the Hessians. .t1
There has been much complexity of opinion
about the sequestrstion act. As 1t specially ap-
plies to the 2Ist of May last, forbidding citizens of
the Southern Gonfederacy from paying debts to
residents in Northern States, which includes rents,
notes. ETC., it places many parties in an unpea.
SAINT predicament, that is, they may have to pay
over again. These parties who have RENTED
funds to England to cover debts Que in Northern
States have eyaded the statute. We do not know
what sort of return or statement they will or can
make 10 the receiver. As they did not, or some of
| them could not, comprehend our talk at the time,
u may bear extremely hard to have to account to
the Receiver. As good deal of money was re-
mitted to known Black Republicans, and may be
now employed in prosecuting Lincoln's war against
US, not nneh sympathy can be expressed if sec
ond payment is enforced. Our banks however
wisely determined not to pay any dividends after
the pronunciation of the act, which appeared first
IN this Journal and Of COURSE they have not to pay
over again. al
The Charleston papers keep up the question pro
