TALK ON CHANGE.

The gatherings on the flags appear to be dtmin-
ishiRg from day to day. Several Of our transient
residents have closed up and departed. There are,
however, sufficient remaining, and more than sufi-
cient to close the seasons business. The flags, or
rather tho habitu6s thereof, were in good feeling
though exchange could not be freely sold. There |
is no desire to extend business relations with New
York It will not be long before shall have in
timations from England about direct trade. Our
Commissioners will be in London in four or five
days. The accounts of the surrender Of Fort Sum-
ter will follow. They went out by the different
steamers which left New York Sunday last, they
having been detained from Saturday to await the
result. They talk in New York that the result in
Europe will be disastrous, presuIning that they
will be for the old concern.
Our neighbor and contemporary, Geo. B. Young,
of the Price Current, appeared on the flags of
Camp street after a short sojourn in New York,
where he had been called by family Affections.
He says the entire North appears to be united
against the South; that with some exceptions
they appear to be united and boast of what
they will do with the South. They had not
| hoard from Virginia then, nor Of tho resignation
Of Gen. Scott. 1t Is more than apparent that the
Northern States are arrayed in hostility against
| the South, Our talk is, let them come; we don't
expect to travel any further North this season
| than Washington City. Possibly General Beaure-
gard may be taking a view of the ten mile square
in short time 1t cannot be disguised that great
alarm prevails in New York city. twas suggested
on the flags that our old merchants, who Gre not
connected with military associations, should meet
and form company, and adopt Q platform con
fornahle to the present attitude OF the country,
binding themselves to resist Northern aggression
in every shape. A movement of this kind on the
part Of our old merchants would have better
effect on Wall street. Let Garondelot street come
ont and defy Wall street. We ask no favors of
New York nor any other city. Bullet them talk
to New York in q plain manner. New York has
made millions and millions of dollars out of New
Orleans. Let tell them that the time for separa
ton has arrived--that their capitalists have ad-
yaneed money for the subjugaton Of the South,
All debts now due New York and other States
from the South are cancelled, wiped out by the
operation Of civil war. Though it is not probable
thatit will be taken advantage Of to cancel debts,
still while the war lasts there cannot be any trade
carried on between the belligerents It is not pro-
bable that this state of things will come, as Lin
coin and his Administration will back down after
the next grand fight, if they wait forft.
