TALK ON CHANGE.

TALK ON CHANGE.
The gatherings on the flags of Carondelet street
were not SO numerous as they have been for some
DAYS past. War, lighting, Forts Pickens and Sum
ter, with now and then little side talk about cot
ton, were the chief topics The war accounts CIR
fighting dispatches of the day previous were
brought up Towards o'clock later intelligence
was received from Charleston, and though the dis
patches OF the day before were in doubt, the dis
patches received yesterday by our contemporary,
the Dets and published in its evening issue, were
conirmatory Of the attempt of a vessel to enter
Charleston. This schooner might have been loaded
with ice, and might have had other EMOTIONS u as
part of the cargo. The talk on the flags was, the
crisis is at hand and most everybody felt satisfied
that the long state of suspense is about to be re-
moved. Gen. Beauregard has reported that he Is
ready. The further talk was about the stape-15
and i6c. paid for Mddling. Fair cotton seems to
take some of the Bears all aback. Unfortunately
for the country the bulk of the crop, nearly the
entire YIELD has been received sold and paid for.
We told our readers in December last that Mddling
cotton would command l24c. in the month OF
March. Planters, however, who have notrealized
over 10 and lie. must not complain. Our market

adyices are favorable. They allude to our seces-
! sion movements, but it is palpable the cause is
understood by our trans Atlantic cousins. They
will understand better when they have the two
tariffs Of imposts before them. The London Times
is sorely worried about the Northern or Morrill,

| The Times will be wiser as it grows older. Per-
haps its correspondent now in this country will
enlighten its readers in regard to the Confederate
States If the remarks, however, made by the
said correspondent at public dinner in New 1ork
short time since are to be considered as his
! course and views, the readers Of the great Thun-
derer will not be much enlightened in regard to
the position of the Confederated States of America.
Much of the private correspondence audes, in
| ciientally, to the great secession movement The
blockade of the mouth Of the Mississippi is still
talked Of A few fire ships can readily be called
into reauisition and the great Minnesota, with her
| great eommodores, may be blown up out OF water.
Nous ueyro7ss ? Our cousin, Mr.. Bull, will have
good deal to say about this contemplated block

The talk increases from day to day in regard to
the bonds of the Confederated States. They are
growing in favor every day, and many individuals
say they will take few hundreds. AS the time
approaches the 18th inst, the ardor and feeling in
favor of tn s, securities increases.
The receipts of duties on imports at the different
customhouses are increasing from day to day.
The New York papers are harping almost daily
about the Indebtedness of the South We do not
believe that the South is SO greatly indebted to
the North. By the following extract from the
Herald of the LIST inst. it appears they expect to
receive some s7,oOO00O $s 100000 in coin from
the South this season. 1t is not taken into consid-
Grafton that we have some few thousand bales of
cotton still unsold, which will command l23 to l5c.
| per pound. But here is what the wiseacre of the
| Herald says:
The receipts Of gold during the week from abroad
| have exceeded $1,000 900, and the Sub-Treasury
! has lost money. 1t is understood that the Mint
has sent fair amount of coin to this city during
the week. We must expect, therefore that the
average to be shown tomorrow will be in excess
| of S40,000000. The average to be made up
Monday, April s, may show further increase over
| this, but after that date the course of the bank
average is uncertain. It is pretty clear that we
shall receive no more specie from England, for the
| present at all events And it is not clear but that
we may begin to ship coin to Europe within
week or two. IT is everybody's interest that we
/
| is lying idle 10 our banks The exchange market
yesterday looked uncommonly like rising to the
specie shipping point. In the course of few
| weeks if the people Of the South pay their debts
| to the North honorably, the exchanges will turn,
and gold will flow from New Orleans to New
| York As general rule, the supply of specie
| ceived here every summer from the South amounts
to many Millions this year it is said that to
/ eight millions will come, if the Southern people
/ pay their Northern creditors as usual. On the
other hand, the West will take some gold from New
| York this summer. The amount Of produce of
| every kind sent forward by the West during the
| year which commenced on lst September last has
/ been beyond all precedent and the quantity Of
4 foreign goods consumed at the West has not been
/ in proportion. A part of the produce sent for
ward will, doubtless be used in liquidation of old
| Indebtedness.

in the days of his courtship lets out domestic

That on her shoulders fall;
What would you say to see the boz

Her taper fingers, it is true,
| Are difficult to match

! How terribly thew scratch
