TALE ON CHANGE.

TALK oNs'cHANGEs Sts8z
| TIE frst REAL change in the weather for weeks
past occurred on the night Of the 9th instant fol
loved yesterday BY q bright and somewhat cool
Iday, attended with something Of d congealing ma.
tnfe 10 Tie elements. The flags were very well
thfoDgea for the times, and 4 good deal Of tall
was brought forward about the war and so on
The supposed feyerses Of the Confederate arms or
the Tennessee river were freely commented on
but there vas very little Of d positive character
made out Of the dispatches received by telegraph.
1 They appear 70 be made up Of hearsay and general
lrumors Towards meridian it was announced TINT
Roanoke Island and three thousand Confederates
bad been captured, and only : few hours before
tesams date was reported that the Confederates
had obtained " victory ID much for 50 much.
From the general remissness of the Confederate
isauthorihess It would not be surprising that The
Hessans had effected a landing on the coast of
North Carolina and captured Roanoke Island.
What distance this island Ii from the mainland We
are not informed. If it is situated to the mainland,
as IS Ship Island Of the Mississippi coast it would
be astounding to learn that 1t should be attempted
70 defend it. The question is well put, what
would ten thousand Confederates have done on
Ship Island which was 40 judicioasly abandoned
last September by our authoritiesan All the dis
patches received yesterday before the close Of
business were dated on the 9th, and very strangely
conflict all round. The dispatches via Richmond
and Norfolk must be received at d great discount.
The New York adyices nom the Herald appear to
be mass Of Intact, the talk is, some
Of the Richmond and Norfolk attendants on the
telegraph have nothing else TO do than repeat the
current trash Of The New York Herald. In add
ton to the twaddfe from the New y ork Herald
the public Is furnished with mass Of stuff from
ashir gton City, the further twaddle Of the penny
asiners. Instead Of regarding and paying SO much
attention to what our adyersaries are doing, land
the point Of what i published regarding them is
h ~ misiead the sonth1 we Should go to work and
enlarge our means Of defence and increase our
armies. Our moneyed men should come forward
with their means their dollars are what are re-
auirea not their wishes and sympathies, Feelings
IND wishes will not provide the munitions Of war,
purchase gunpoWder, cast cannon, pay for cloth
iftg and provide other neeessaries for the support
Of our soldiers. Now, capita lists-ye gentlemen

very we'll, but just at this moment, during this
crisis, the great cause Of the South requires some
thing more. Wishes and kind feeling will not

you come forward and advance IT, lend ii to the,
authorities, il may and will go far towards bring
ing the war to . speedy close. There ale no two
ways about the matter. We, that is, the South,
are engaged in q Just and holy war. It may be Of
q shorter or longer dnration but either way, the.
sileRs have to be furnished BY the people. If you,
gentlemen Of money, enjoying yourselves SO lux
uriously, and component parts Of the great public
and people, will reflect, you will observe that your
resources have not been applied to the further
ance and, support Of southern independence. d Il
X There was some talk about balls, extra expend-
lures for parties ayishness forsorees, and SO on,
and while we do not, in our desire to infringe
on the desires and wishes Of the, public, yet we
cannot overlook the frequent remarks that the
halls, concerts and general gatherings might be
dispensed with, and the money paid out for
dresses, accoutrements, and what not, be appro-
priated at once for our soldiers volunteers and
The holy cause Of Southern independence. /, Ad-
hitting that the proceeds Of many balls are given
Ror the benefit of our VOLUNTEERS, II may be
assumed that a family Of three persons cannot 20

give the twenty-five dollars at once to some, Of the
