New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1861-05-08
TALK ON CHANGE,

As before remarked, the gatherings on the flags
are thinning of daily. This is brought about from
the decrease in basis for trade There is very lit
tie cotton for sale As for tobacco, the stock is
low and receipts light. There was some talk
about dispatches received from Louisville, stating
that all shipments of produce from that section to
the Southwere prohibited by orders from Washing
ton City; that the United States Marshal intended
to enforce the Black Republican order. It is hard
to believe that the citizens of Kentucky will sub |
init to such an interdict: that they cannot sell
their produce to whoever may feel disposed TO buy
There was talk that the dispatches were some thing
Of speculative ruse. Be that as ii may is it sup
posed that any such order will besresDected? Will
q farmer in Kentucky refuse to sell a farmer in
Tennessee bacon, pork or any other article? Will
p merchant in Kentucky refuse to sell to a Ten
nesseean baggng and rope? Tennessee has now
seeded, and will be one of the galaxy of the
Southern constellation; and if Kentucky citizens do
not choose to sell to Tennessee and the South they
will speedily convince old Kentucky that she is in
a degraded position and will be bankrupted They
are debating in Kentucky about armed neutrality
and obey the mandates of Lincoln Seward & Co..
not to ship produce of any kind to the Gonfeder-
ated States. They talk about the rope trade, and
the want of rope for baling cotton forgetting that
there is an abundance of iron to make hoops for
balng cotton. They talk of bagging just as though
there are not millions of yards of Scotch bagying
in the warehouses of Scotland ready to be shipped
to any port in the South sufficient to cover three
millions of bales of cotton, and if necessary, the
shipments can come under the British flag, with a
British squadron to see that such vessels and car
goes are admitted to their destined ports Fudge
and fiddlestcks /! Old Kentucky, you are becom.
| ing senile, to think that the young and vigorous
South cannot get along without your bagging and
rope, Or your pork and bacon, your great cattle
your old Bourbon.
The further talk was, that il is very unsafe for
Soltherner to visit the North at this time, particu
| larly those who have expressed Southern views
4 It lis somewhat astounding that there should be
Southerners writing to acquaintance in the North
4 to know whether it will be safe and prudent to
/ visit the Northern States. Do not those South
erners (they call themselves sucli) know that they
will be insulted, jeered and tainted in all the
Northern States, and liable to arrest and inprison-
i ment? We take the case of Mr.. Griner, q merchant
and trader OF Savannah, Ga, who has been largely
with cotton transactions in that CITY for
several years past. Mr.. Griner was charged as
being concerned in the capture of Fort last
winter, being member of d volunteer company.
4 He was arrested last week in Philadelphia, while
on a visit to his family His arrest was ordered by
4 the renowned Gen. Patterson. This Gen. Patter-
son is merchant, If the title is not disgraced by
| being attach to such an individual. He has had
4 a good deal to do with New Orleans for several
4 years. He has had large consignments of sugar
4 and molasses. Major-General Patterson cannot
clear himself of the charge that he is unworthy the
4 confidence or least notice from q Southerner; in
fact, he is one Of the vile traitors to the South
that have been talked Of 50 freely of late Here
4 il Mr. Griners account Of himself as given before
the magistrate:

Well, Mr.. Griner was committed to prison. : We
hope to hear that Governor Brown, of Georgia, has
retaiated and taken ten Northern men as hostages,
and that he will keep them till Mr. Griner is re-
leased and hack again
There Is no safety for a Seutherner to visit the
A North. Don't think Of IT. 1t is mortifyinr to reflect
that there are SO many presumed southerners. who
are SO DESTROYS Of going North, and follow the
snobhism and aunkeyism Of Northern society and
Northern watering places. Stay. at home. partiou-
lasly those who have cotton.felds to look after.
Let the snobs go The South will not suffer to anv
Il extent il they all stay away.
