I TALK ON ,0H ANGE.

lis long time since we have seen Carondelet
street 30 dull, listess and inactive; even the old
mule which has stood guard for SO many months
was MOI, est. True, there was Col. Fassman's
darkey, Cuff, with shining worries, holding ont
great bargains in iron ties, as though half million
OF bales Of the staple were waiting rope and bal
ing. There was something of q jersey wagon
offering for a purchaser At the great carriage re-
pository.. In and around the Provost NJ Marshal's
office it was remarkably quiet The chip brokers
having returned to private life the bill and note
brokers', or majority OF them, having entered the
service Of the Confederacy, the cetton-brokers-
not to be outdone in patriotism and deYotedness to
the holy cause-haye quit the flags, doffed uni
forms, and are now to be found in the tents and
encampments in and about the city; consequently
the grand rue Carondelet at midday presents q
very dull aspect. On the grand boulevard Canal,
1t was also dull Shopping excurtionists we're few
and far between s
Complaints are rife and accumulating from day
to day inregard to the great smells and stenches
arising from the various rum distlleries and sugar
re6neries, rs they are called. Themost compounded
smells, they may be termed, are experienced by
the denizens Of Julia, Camp and Magazine streets.
In fact, the basin of the new canal appears to be
the reservoir Of the grandest compound of smells
and stenches we ever experienced. Walking up
and down the new basin and canal last week, our
olfactory nerves were terribly agitated. We have
withstood the ef1uyia Of the filth of our city for
more than two score years; we have withstood
the decomposition Of dead bodies during the cho-
lera Of 1884, but never have we withstood such in.
effable compounds as can be snuffed on the upper
canal and basin 1t appears to be the reservoir Of
.1f
the city. If, however it is the intent Of the pro-
pristors of these reneries to breed yellow fever,
to defend the city against the assaults Of the Yam
KEGS, and to prevent their occupancy of our city,
we have no objection to their encouraging Bronze
John TO take up his quarters in our midst.
Talking about Bronzs John, yellow fever and
yomito, we are reminded of the last intelligence
from Havana, being up to the 4th inst, bringing
accounts Of French man-of-war steamer arriving
from Vera Cruz, with twenty seven cases Of yellow
fever or Fomito on board. There were adyices o
the arrival at the Balize few days since Of 9
French vessel of war, but we are not informed
whether she had any yomitos on board. However
the season of the year is at hand for yellow feye
| in Vera Cruz, Tampico, Havana and other places
II Mr.. Bronze John should be introduced to tht
Yankee squadron below the forts, we trust the oil
fellow will have a good harvest Mississippi wate
will help him along In the ever-memorable yea
Of 1869, the first cases Of yellow fever in city
we're previous to the middle Of the month Of May
occurring on board Of q vessel from st. Thomas
Everything augurs well for our old crony, Mr.
Bronze John. 8 A very mild winter, warm spring
with the expectation of about 100 600 fresh North
erners and Northw esterners, anxious to make thei
first visit to the sunny South, s
