CHANGE OF FRONT.
TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH !

The Petersburg (Va.) Express, until recently
Union paper, is now very nearly up to The marx
of secession. Speaking of the humbu8 propo-
sitions of the late Peace Conference at Washing
ton. the Express says:
We cannot say that we rejoice at the brighter
prospect now opened before us OF compromise
of existing difficulties, by which further secession
will, for the present at least, be prevented. we
have, until very recently, been warmly anu 9li
cerely for the Union. But, really, we nave 'Iel n
so much dsgusted and sickened with Black he
publican impcrtinences nsoences and meallnesser'
ssslat we have arrived at that state OF leean8 III
(which we utterly Indifferent about any luitnci
political connection with such gracelesS, hl8et
able set of scamps. TO belong to the same country
with them is in our view Illumination ana SllShia
to any honest and honorable cit'zeh' W SPeah P.lh

Loveioys the Stcvcnses, the Grows, the liicklnas,
of the House and the Chambers, the BinGhams,
the Fessendens, and the Preston Kings OF the
Senate. 1t is barely possible that they may, some
of them be reformed from thelr VlllalhouS tastes
and propensties by the force of changed crcum-
stances and become wOrthier OF living IN q ClVl
lied land than they now are. But the Ethiopian
skin is hard to be vhitened and the leopards spots
are not easily removed.
That's the talk. 1t is not the mere election of
Lincoln that as ca sed the Gulf States to break
up the old Union, but it s the fact limited at by the
Express, IL at W. cannot get along on peaccab!e
anu friendly terms Win Ihe majority Vi thc MI
ern people and we can do so because all our
ideas, feelings and sentiments are radically differ
ent. They are one race Of people and we are an
other and different race. The Express, too, no
doubt realizes the fact that the question IS now
reduced down to the simple alternative OF staying
in the Union or going out Of it. The Peace Con-
ference was perverted from its original objects,
and became an effective agent of Abolition
trickery and deception. The Northern men IN IL
never intended to make fair settlement and they
never would have respectcditf one had been made.
But, even if it had been done, it would have been
powerless for the reconstruction of the Union.
The Gulf States are out of the Union and they are
going to stay out. There is not the shade OF Il
shadow of any probability of present reconstruc-
ton. Virginia has then to elect whether she VIII
remain in an Abolition Union where she will be not
only powerless but constantly insulted and imposed
upon, or whether she will be an hOnored equal in
the Confederated States Of the South. We cannot
doubt what will be her eventual determination
but the wonder and the mystery with US is why she
should hesitate about doing thing that she is
bound to do sooner or later. We accept the manly
shhaHge Of front on the part of the Express as al
Indication that the Old Dominion will soon be founC

TALK ON CHANGE.

The flags Of Carondeet street were well throng-
ed yesterday without anything of an extraordinary
caste turning up. The adYices from Liverpool up
to the 2Gth ult. were talked Of, without ehcIuhG
any expressions of real confidence or stability IN
the position of affairs on the other side. The ac-
counts are met, in some respects, with dlsNas-
sionate views; in other instances the BearB ana
Bulls appear to be striving for mastery Inc
receipts of cotton were talked OF from the
opening to the close of business. The lead
ing talk after meridian was the sensation dls-
patches received over the telegraph. 1t puzzles
and confounds the most knowing and astute hab'-
tues of the flags to. comprehend them AS the
public has become used to these flaming para
graphs, they received a passing remark, laughed
at as it were 1t is, however, manifest that great
anxiety prevails regarding the political elements
The last European advices were exhausted, IN the
way of talk, before meridian yesterday then every
one was agog for Montgomery and Washington IN
teliigennc.
The rivals of steamboats, from the great Wes
are numerous. Each and every boat comes ladet
with the products of the teeming West. The haoi

Streets are in good humor at the prospects before
them in fact, all connected with the great West
ern trade ought to be satisfied. The demand 10
Western products for Cuba and otHer W eal lhd
markets, continues good. There was also goo'
feeling at the sugar depot. Prices for goOd quar-
ties of sugar are well maintained. The tariff ac
of the Northern States, which goes into elect Of
the lst of April is hardly thought of. The reVenu
derived from foreign sugar is too heavy to b
thrown aside. The value Of brown sugar lmporte

visit to this city, had received challenge to q

This was mistake. The challenge was from Tor
