TALK ON CHANGE.


I, Saturday being the general day of settling, the
flags were partially deserted at very early hour
The quid nuncs were few and far between. The
correspondence between a body of merchants in
Liverpool and Lord John Russell, an extract Of
which has been published, took some of the
habitues Of the flags by surprise. The general
opinion has prevailed that the British ministry
would regard the restraint on the expectation of
cotton as something worthy Of their immediate
attention. but Lord John coolly replies as much as
to say that it is none of his business. although
the stock Of American cotton may be nearly ex
hausted by the close of next mouth December
may as wen be considered that with the increase
OF receipts from East India, the mills can be kent
IN operation under short time until the first ay Of
May next or later The demand for goods falls off
each succeeding week, and all the British Govern
ment can do to Illustrate the starving of the mil
mons OF operatives who are depending on cotton.
Is 70 contribute for their support In the year 1900
the importation Of cotton from the United States
INTO Great Britain was 6s,29s bales. In 1910 il
naa increased to sl0,87l. In 1911 there was A
slight increase. In 1912 war was declared by the
United States against Great Britain, and exporta.
tions OF cotton ceased and were not resumed until
the month OF April, 1915 1t will thus be seep that
England got along without American cotton for 4
space Of time of nearly three years. The relative
bearings Of consumption are, Of course. in favor
OF the present era, There has been some talk of

entirely prete Knitting the planting of cotton seed
the next season; that it will be the wsest policy
for cotton fields to be turned into corn, wheat and
potatoes. Thenwe shall have large over-pro-
sducton, and complete surfeit of products, per-
ishable in their nature--while cotton will maintain
its own without deterioration. A division of plant
ing raising can be successfully carried out-that
is much less than usual can be planted, and
cereals and csculents in general be largely In
| creased, also beans and peas Among the most
unreasonable and unwise suggestion recently
preached is that before the Legislature of Missls-
sppi to prohibit, by statute any cotton seed from
| being planted until the present crop is sold. This
| reminds us of fudge and fddestieks.
| The flags of Carondelet were deserted before l
tP. NJ Saturday, the habitues being ordered to
attend review in the First Brigade of Louisiana
Militia, which was great demonstration of the re-
sources of New Orleans in the way of numbers.

The mails came through yesterday. A mail will

up mail for the old defunet United States, This
though not in consonanee with the rules of war; to
communicate with our enemies, nevertheless will
probably be encouraged. Mr.. MeKeeyer has Just
as good right as Postmaster Riddeli to dispatch
mails for foreign countries. Competition is the
life and essence of commerce. therefore vive

We imagine the Lincolnites hate all portions of
| the South alike, and that they would commit as
many atrocities on the coasts of Louisiana If ever
they obtain possession, as they will in that part of
South Carolina now unfortunately subject to their
malign control. Their magnity is unparalleled, it
extends to all the Confederate States in equal pro
portion and it leads them to violate all the rules
OF civilized warfare. II ,.a#..5Sssg
That they contemplate wholesale plumber is un-
questionable. Hence, as the exposed planters are
bound to lose more or less Of property is il not
altogether better that they should destroy what
they cannot remove, than to allow 1t to fall into
the hands of relentless enemies, and thus permit
them to reap substantial "aid and comfort" in
consequence! We think SO ), and, therefore,
heartily endorse the suggestion thrown out by our
Charleston contemporary. Letevery bale of cotton
be burned nee before single fake is allowed to go

I'M p oRTANT
Capture Of Messrs. Mason, slideI and Party

We are indebted to His Excellenoy Governor
Moore, for copy of the following dispatch from
Richmond, received last evening:
GovernorT. o. Moore: a Y. ..
RICHMOND, Nov. II, 1s61-Mason, Sideli and
party, arrested on British mail steamer on mid.
ocean, by Lincoln steam frigate San Jacinto,
and taken to Fortress Monroe. ,r
The above intelligence is as startling as it was
unexpected; and while we deeply deplore the
misfortune that has happened to our friends, this
high.handed interference with British mail
steamer by the Lincoln Government, will either
arouse John Bull to the highest pitch of indigna-
ton, or twill demonstrate that there has been an
understanding between the two Governments for
a long time-that England has been, and is now
assisting, the Abolition Government to the detri-
ment of the South. We shall await further deyel-
opments with much interest.

sooTT's REGIMENT OF CAVALRY.

In another column we copy from the BatoI
Rouge Advocate q detailed account of this splen
did regiment, its officers, organization, etc-the
right wing of which left for the theater of war on
Saturday last to be followed by the left wing in a
few days. We think we may safely say that no
regiment Of cavalry in the Confederate service is
composed of better material than this or has been
gotten up with better equipments and appoint
ments, or will make more honorable and effective
mark upon the bloody field Of battle. It is com
posed entirely of Louisanians and of the best and
brayest blood of the State. @
1t will not be considered indicate in us, now
that he has left for the field of active SERVICE to
make some reference to the editor and proprietor
of this paper, who holds the responsible position
of Lieutenant Colonel of this splendid regiment.
There are, perhaps, few men now fighting for the
South who have made so great sacrifices as has
Col. Nixon, in entering the army for the war. He
leaves to the management Of others the large in
terests that he has in the possession of this news
paper, he leaves honorable civic positions in which
he was serving the people of New Orleans, and all
the attractions and endearments of home and
family, to offer himself and his whole services to
the Southern cause. We know that it was in
sobedienee to q high sense of public duty that he
has done this. we know that he has gone to fight,
not for fame but for his country alone The prin-
c1pies that have been advocated by this paper
from the moment that Lincoln was elected to the
presidency he goes to illustrate by practical de.
votion on the field of battle and that he will illus
trate5 them, ii an opportunity offers, by deeds as
well as words, no one doubts who knows the fear.
Less spirit Of the man. his lofty courage and his in
domitahle will. This much, without his knowledge
and against his consent if he knew Of it, we feel
impeled TO say of as true man to his country and
his friends as our noble State has yet sent to
uphold the sacred cause Of liberty and independ-
ence. w

In my last letter spoke of the Inauguration Of

hereabouts. On the road on Tuesday last we saw
regiments of troops passing along, threefoarths of
the menbers of which carried dead turkeys, geese
scr chickens on their bayonets. Nearly every
army wagon We passed contained couple of hogs
Sor calves. Worse than ALL many soldiers killed
stock at farms, and left tenths Of the carcass
4 to rot on the ground. Houses were entered and
depleted Of vctuals; whether the occupants were
unionists or Disnnionsts the soldiers seldom stop
pea to inquire. Assuming an authority never
given them, they plnndered anything and every4

without bringing disgrace upon our army and our
