There is at the present time quite trade carried
on in purchasing goods at country stores and send
| ing them to New Orleans on speculation. We
noticed quite number OF boxes OF merchandise
| on the steamer St. Mary last Friday, sent from
stores on the Teche and from Pattersonvllle bound
for the city, where higher prices are to be realized
| Last Friday we noticed vessel dscharging at
| Brashear twenty-seyen tons of lead. She reports
| no blockading vessels in sight as she came into
| Atchafalaya Bay. She has run the blockade sew
eral times but does not intend to risk it any more.
/! Do the English and French call that an efficient
blockade which has been run by'our vessels scores
| of times? 1t is q mockerY and nuisance.
The two gunboats at Franklin will soon be ready
| for action. They will guard the coast from the
| mouth of the Atchafalaya to the western extrem-
ity of the parish and keep constant watch for the
enemy and his motions, prepared to report prompt
| ly any hostile movement of the Lincoln forces.
The Mobile will soon be at her post, with power
| full guns. The forts will in short time be all
right.
! The enemy reported at Morrsons Cutoff last
week, causing much excitement on Bayou Sale
and the Teche, proved to be vessel loaded with
! lead, gunpowder and wool, bound for Brashear,
| where she landed safely the next day. There was
no blockading vessel in sight, and had been none
| for more than a week. We went aboard of the
| vessel last Friday and learned the above facts.

| entire week in the middle of it that welcome in
divdual, Jack Frost, made bis first appearance for
| the season. and was greeted by all early rlsers
the lazy, OF course only knowing from hearsay OF
| his arrival.
| Some weeks ago the agents of certain jobbing
| houses in New Orleans visited this place and en-.
deayored to buy up all the woollens, linseys and
/ staple goods now on the shelves OF our merchants
Strange as it may seem, they in part succeeded
| Although the demand for such goods is, and will
| be, very great among our planters and the whole
| population, and though no doubt can possibly ex
st of the certain sale Of all snch articles some o
our merchants have, nevertheless, permitted these
slarpers and Shylocks from New Orleans to de-
nude their stores Of the very things that ogr people
will be suffering for before three months have ex'
pred There is one exception, and may be more
and we shall be glad to record them. MIR. j
McCIoskey has, we learn, refused to sell to these
fellows who are securing the country, and to his
credit let it be known that he retained his goods
for the use of hisreguar customers at home. This
is a most praiseworthy act. a5s7z
Last week another batch Of these New Orleans
runners arrived, and departed after having made
large purchases. These things have aroused th'
attention Of our community, and tits contemr latet
to appoint committee to wait upenthe next batcl
and ascertain their employers and respectfully in
vte them to ride on a rail by way Of variety
About a lHOntn ago tney SenL up some military au
yenturers here, who were taken out of their hand
some phaeton and given free lodging in jail. w
propose to afford a more humble vehicle for thest
trading travelers-a slick pole, with q dose OF ia
and the spare plurnage OF a Shanghai. The Nep
. Orleans papers will save some of their people
some modification by aifording them an oppor
tunity to read this warning. . s
Why does not the Democrat furnish the name
of those boodsnckers who thus endeaVor to Ell
rich themselves by adding to the general distres

FLOYD vs.. RosENCRANTz.-A correspondent Q
the Cincinnati Times writes from Western Virginia
The fact of the matter is: Garnifax Ferry, ab0u
which so much has been said aud written, turn
out more to our cost, great bluader and Il sat
mistakes, and instead of hearing opprobrlou
epithets on Floyd, calling him coward, he mas Il
the end turned out to be Rosencrthtz' superior q
: an officer and general. He out'maneuVered MI
. in every way and in every sense OF the word. w
! now find him one of our most formidable oppc
nents at Little Seweil; whereas, If Gen. Bonhaln
( plans were followed out at Carnfax Ferry, b
would be strongly confned in our penitentiary
Columbus, together with his whole brigade. Thor
D sands of men and millions If dollars have yet to
expended before the Government gains the az
vantage Gen. Rosencran.z gained but lost at Gu
