TALK ON 1CHANGE

1t was notiiyely on rue CaroRdeIet yesterday.
The gatherings were dull and inanimate. A good
deal Was said about battles and fights in Kentucky
particularly the expected one at Bowling Green.
After meridian ii was generally conceded that
there had NOT been any fight, as reported and the
Bulls were in much humor. There is not much
scope at this time our flags for Bulls and Bears
In fac, there is no space for fair shake or rough
and tumble scrimmage like in Wall street. !
There has been for some days considerable talk
about the bill before the Legislature entitled An
Act for the Relief Of the Cotton Planters of the
STATE If louisiana We have talked much. re-

posion Of affairs, not only in the great cotton in

country or the products Of the soil. We have not
room or space in our desutory remarks to talk at
length on the project for an issue of ten millions

The "Barzieading,'s of Charleston Harbor
Begun.

l .a..=lD5 beSuh.
On Thursday last an increase in the number of
vessels off this harbor was noticed. On Friday
morning not less than twenty.three sail, Of all
classes, were in sight As well as could be judged
using aaspy.glass at a distance of three or four
miles, there were some four gunboats,, one large
steamer, apparently frigate, and the rest seemed
stationed to the northeast of the bar near the
Rattlesnake Shoal, and the remainder of their feet
was near old Ship Bar During Thursday night
and Friday morning, with the weather calm, the
sea smooth and a moonlight night they succeeded
ships and five barks, in one of the channels. Later
u the day the enemy sunk eight more of the "stone
heet, }" making fifteen in ALL From appearances, it
is inferred that all their hulks which have been
brought here up to this time have been made use
Of, and that those now outside are blockaders.
Ths is the first step in the fiendsh Yankee pro-
gramme of permanently barricading and running,
If they can the noble harbor of Charleston The
hnlks lay on their sides, with list aport; some of
them having already beenstrpped of their canvas
and others having their sails flying loose.
small steamer, of very light draught, was seen
moving actively about. She was supposed TO be
the ting used to place the vessels in position on the
shoals, previous to the sinking. The fifteen old
vessels, if placed in single file and allowing the
large space of two. hundred feet obstructinS
capacity to each vessel, would blockade abont
three thousand feet.
Charleston harbor has water frout-from the
Rattlesnake Shoal to Folly Island beach-of about
SIX miles, with numerous passages to and from the
sea. On the occurrence of the first heavy north
easter, after the sinking Of the wrecks, the force
of the wind the heave of the sea and the action Of
the quicksands, WILL according to all previous ex
perience, dssipate the Yankee Instructions with
rapdy nearly as great that of the late terrible
confagration. We have known new and 6rst-class
ships, OF nearly one thousand tons capacity loaded
With railroad iron, stop on the bar, in mid channel
and in few weeks there would hardly be trace |
of them, and what could be found had worked
upon the shallow part of the bar. The permanent
closing of Charleston harbor by sinking vessels at
the entrance, we consider an impossibity: and |
nothing but Government mad with folly and re- |
venge would attempt it. This attempt of The Yam
KEGS, however. will have one good effect, in tend
ing to quiet the nerves of any-excitable citizens
who may have supposed that the Lincelnites in |
tended an attack on our city from the sea.

There will be much larger proportion of molasses

There is desire to move in cotton. The pick
ing is still going on and much will be left in the
fields to rot. Itwould be well for those connected
with the great cotton trade to write their cores
pondents in Europe that If the great powers OF
England and France intend to take any measures
about forcing the blockade, it,would be well for

may be taken into consideration. After the LIST Of

manufacturers will require any more cotton after

Talking about cotton brought up the high price
OF baggng and rope. 1t is gratifying that every
planter has substitute on his plantation for BOTH
At No. 123 Common street, at the office OF Neil
teur & Fanfare, is bale of cotton closely packed
in basket mating of oak and hickory strips, and
encircled with hoops of the same, just as firmly
packed as though bagging and rope were the pro-
teetives. 1t is seldom that bale of cotton comes
to market in better condition or more closely
packed than the bale which has called forth this
talk. fs45s. Ia 81 81 ~ @s. nv g.t o.

it is unnecessary to say from which army, com
planning of general inactivity. Breastworking
trenching and ditehing appear to be the general
pastime. Our boys or volunteers do not understand
it,. They complain of Irregularities in the sup
ply of blankets; that supplies are known to have
been received for a certain company, and only one
single thin blanket delivered to each soldier The
'Gommissary Department should inquire into this.
A complaint is before us that the proceeds of
fairs, concerts and contributions go through so
many hands and changes before they reach the
active, the fighting soldier, that leave very light
balances. A few days sineesa Mississippi regiment
il Kentucky was paid offin Georgia money, which
the recipients had to sell at great loss to realize
the necessaries they stood in need of How is this,
we are asked. Are not the Paymasters provided
with Confederate treasury issues for the payment
of the soldiers? True, thousands on thousands of
our gallant boys are not fighting for pay, nor do
they care about it-but the idea that they should
be specialized on by certain parties raises their
temper. 5TH |
