Mayor Monroe OF the Governor, viii these parties
informing us give their information to the authori-
ties If we cannot get rid OF all spies and enemies,
let us get rid of as many as we cam
There was no encouraging talk yesterday for the
spectators and nionopolizers. Letters have been
received from planters i'll the country complaining
of and denouncng the spectators in salt. All our
merchants are considered concerned in the game
Such is not the case, The salt movement was CON
fined only to about dozen of spectators, yet al
our merchants are blamed. In other articles, Dag
ging and rope, planters are not blameless. ihey
sent orders for these articles and their agents have
been Obliged To submit to the extortion. Under
the resolutions and Recommendations Of the cotton
factors, with the mandate from the Governor Tor
| bidding cotton to be forwarded to market, there
has not been any necessity for forwarding baggng,
because the cotton is not wanted.
! There were some remarks on the article from
| the London Times, published in our cetemporary's
issue fthe Deta) yesterday, on the blockade ques-
| tion 1t is sort of circmulocution review OF the
war, blockade and cotton. 1t can be construed
almost any way, according to the views OF the
reader. The talk about recognition, the raising OF
the blockade this that and the other, may as well
be thrown aside. If the blockade is to be raised,
we have got to do it ourselves, aud tits idle to be
awaiting with folded arms for European nations to
| perform the service.
The remarks made some time since that our
merchants and capitalists should turn their money
| and attention to the undertaking of raising the
| blockade, has drawn the following communication
from a distinguished planter in Mississippi:
s@ - h rs NEAR VERNON, Miss, Nov. 10 1861.
| TALK ON CHANGE: AS it is scarcely probable
| that England and France will take the trouble of
.. lifting the blockade. the cotton planters take
the iveliest interest ia the efforts now being made
by the authorities and citizens Of New Orleans to
raise a fund with which to build and equip a fleet
ofyessels for this purpose, with the view of selling
l the same to our Government when We shall no
longer need them. TO this end, and to place the
enterprise beyond the contingencies of failure, it
would be well, it seems to me, to secure material
aid from the planters in subscriptions of cotton
the banks to advance upon it, and the advance to
| be appropriated to the end in view. l sure the
planters would join heartily in the plan proposed
| by your merchants and authorities If the former
would, aeM tuaanady and c6l1ador, solicit assist
| ance. If it should transpire that New Orleans
should be the only cotton port opened this season.
| the wealth which would be realized by those who
| skip there would be enormous. s5 e. .-ser.
/ The Handsboro Democrat, ofthe 18th inst, pub.
lished in the vicinity of Mississippi City, opposite
to Ship Island says that there have been thirty sail
| of Hessan vessels seen off and about the island.
This is not unexpected. The feet of eleven sail,
reported off the Baze two weeks ago. has M
I doubtedly taken anchorage in the harbor. There
may be during these Indian summer days a sort of
of mirage, which may prevent an actual number of
vessels from being diseerned. It is known that
nearly all the $50 vessels, steamers and transports,
bought, chartered and hired BY the Hessians, have
| departed from Northern ports, andwill bring up
| somewhere on the Southern coast Our authori-
ties must not allow themselves to be taken by sur
prise, as army was last week opposite Column
bus, KY. and suffer losses double what they ought
| to have been. Such is the talk. BIS sss5r7s} ..-
| The mails are interrupted by the destruction of
| bridges in East Tennessee. McKeever's express,
however, goes through regularly in little over the
usual time. "
There is a good deal Of talk about stay laws;
that some relief and legislation is expected from
| the approaching General Assembly, there is not
| doubt. The manner in which many debtors have
| been pressed through the action of the inferior
courts seems to require that relief of some nature
| is demanded during the continuance of the war
There are many creditors DESTROYS of going in for
| the pound of flesh. At least it is judged so from
| the way an eminent counsellor and attorneyat-law
talked yesterday the last person, We should have
thought, who would have expressed himself in the
| manner he did.
