TALK ON CHANGE.

The gatherings yesterday On the flags were cir
cumscribed. True, there were knots of would.be
operators congfegated at this and that corner but
I there was no desire evinced for extensive move
ments There We're later adyces from Europe an
nounced, but being brought by one Of the militia
| steamers, no market accounts were received be-
Eyond that cotton was firm. The advices were
brought by the Teutonia steamer. The only talk
of cotton was that the Liverpool quotations for
Orleans Mddling ruled at I 7-I6873d. Not 6 ZIG,
as the telegraph quoted two days since. This is
tie third time IN succession that the telegraph has
made an error Of penny in quotations OF hiddling
Orleans, and coming directly after each other ii
looks somewhat suspicious.
There was some talk about the blockade Of the
mouths OF the Mississippi. We do not think that
any Instructions will be issued by President
Buchanan to that effect. II the incoming Admins.
tfation adopt this course, New England ships will
feel the effects as well as the South. In the event

A milk and water dispatch was published yester.
day, as coming from Charleston, headed, f" Tie
costs thus farn stating that the costs of secession
in Carolina amounted TO one million and four hun
dred Thousand dollars This is another sensation
and nonsensical Dispatch, forwarded for what pur-
pose is not diYRlged. Suppose the costs to Caro-
lima already amounted TO two or three millions of
dollars, it is not one.quarter of the amount of
money spentai,d disbnrsed by Carolnians in the
way of travelling expenses last summer in the
Northern States. Dispatches of this character will
have no influence in this section, and telegraphic
operators orsenders can do better business by
keeping idle. Aid and allappiances in the way of
money are being rendered by our citizens to Gov
ernor Moore. Our State Treasury, fortunately, at
this moment is flush, and requires repenishing.
In the meantime, we hope to have the pleasure of
chronicling more offers and tenders of the real
material, such as the Southern Bank and State
Bank have made. There are FIVE insurance COM
panies in our city which have heavy balances of
cash on hand. These five companies can readily, |

II the incoming Administration shows fight, we
have to meet IT. 1t is suggested to all our banks and
insurance companies to come directly out at once
as the Southern and State Banks have done. Let |
our State authorities know at once what they can
depend on. The Legislature convenes on Monday

weaker States, such as Florida and Texas. What. |
ever money may he advanced will be returned

The ADVANCE IN the rate Of interest by the old lady
