TALK ON ,CHaNGE, j

1 There are many new faces appearing on the flags
| daily. From whence they come, or for what pur-
pose they are here now, Is not known. We hope
that at least majority of them prepared to do
| military duty. 1t will not answer for some to be
claiming immunity from military duty; that they
are not citizens of the Gonfederacy. They cannot
claim the protection of their respective consulates
on this OCCASION during this crisis. 1t is impos
sbe to ascertain the views of many who claim
allegiance to European powers. Some may be for
us and others ayerse to u.s.. 1t is, however, ex-
tremely gratifying for us to remark that vast ma
iority, say nine tenths of those connected or en-
gagged with foreign commerce and trade, are heart,
sould and body for the South If those who do not
appear in the ranks of the military have substi-=
tute it is much more than can be said of many
Northern born citizens, who have a domicile here
and another North. '7(
After much vacillationfo days past, the weather
changed night before last bringing along real
norther, which, if 1t has reached the usual height
In the Gulf, will have caused some of the Hessian
fleet to scud off shore at something about fifteen
knots or more per hour. '''
For several days past it has been remarkably
quiet on the flags. This quietness was brought
about by the total absence of telegraphic nosrums.
Yesterday there were adyices of a large fight and
glorious victory Gf confrnied) i'll Missouri on the
part OF the Sontherners. As the intelligence did
not come via the City of Rnnlors, alias Richmond,
there are grounds for its being correct. There
were also accounts from New York, published in
one ofthe morning journals, taken from the New
4 York Herald, wherein the boinbastic and lying
Herald is quoted no less than seventeen times.

the despot's dominions r
We learn that Com. Maroy's ship the Express,
has been seized by the Iincolnites She is fine
| ship, bat the Commodore will have chance Of
| getting her value back again out of some of the
| l2,00D shares of bank stock, 1900 shares of Gas
| Light Company stock, and from bonds and other
| securities held by Northern citizens let alone the
many bank shares which will be in the hands of the
General Receiver next week. We think our two
hundred dollars worth of Philadelphia scrip is safe
enough. There was some talk Of twenty fatboat
| loads of coal having recently arrived at Bayou
/ Sara, belonging to 0hioans or ennsyyanians.
/ Qaien sabe? The Confederate Marshal has already
in his possession forty boat loads. Though the re-
ceipts of coal last year only two-thrds OF the
quantity received tho year before the demand win
be less because there will be no want for the If
teen steamers in the Gulf and Texas trade. There
i need othe any coal famine. There is an abund-
4 ance on the 0uachita river, which can be mined
i at the low price Of twelve cents per bushel, and
delivered on our leyee ateighteeu to twenty cents
additional, according to the stage of water, Or say
one million of barrels can be delivered at thirty
| cents per bushel. We shall get no coal from the
Ohio river this season, that is fixed fact Ken
lucky is almost bound TO the Lincoln despotism,
4 but it will not last long. s
The following is an extract from private letter,

l We are sold in Kentucky. Civil war is at our
doors. The Legislature has been bought up; that
body Is now more fierce for the Lincoln despotisn,
than any Northern State, but the great of the
people are against them, and will fight against the
North We are tied in this portion of the State
40 arms and eight thousand Lincoln yagabonds in
camp near as.
4 There will BIO some hard fighting in Kentucky
but the old State will go with the South.
There was some intelligence received yesterday
! from New York. From all that eau be gathered
and the Information comes through reliable
/ sources, there viii be sixty thousand troops in
three divisions of 10000 men each dispatched for
the Southern coasts, which, with the steamers and
sailing vessels, will eeunt up something OF formi-
! dable armada. New Orleans is to be attacked By
