I TALK ON ,cHANeE,


coDgregated ON the shady side of the flags. We
are not aware that there was any special necessity
Of keeping in the shade, Except that "o Old Sol y
poured down his rays with something Of a. June
order. 1t is hardly necessary to say that the
spring time is approaching, with the thermometer
ranging from rs to 80. In fact, the good time is
coming for defeat Of the Yankee invaders
The private talk is, let us all keep quiet. The
month of April has arrived, aud we feel safe, 30
far as city is concerned, because the climate,
with the appliances Of will check the rapacity
Sof the Hessian invaders. At the same time, they
are bringing an imposing force to conquer US. 1t
may be all imposing. yet it becomes us to be pre-
pared.
There is talk that some few pretended citizens
are hestating abont appearing before the Provost
Marshals and conforming to the mandate of the
authorities. 1t ia somewhat surprising that any
person Of ordinary intelligence should attempt to-
defy the authorites AT two of the. offices Of Pro-
yost Marahals there were crowds, at others there
was no press whatever. Those who intend to- take
the oath of allegiance have no excuse whatever
now. There is ample room for that purpose, bnt;no
roomfor equivocatioD. Some folks talk that we;
shall learn who is who.n This is question that
has often been debated, and we are gratifed to-
learn that the time is at hand for.its being settled.
| There can be no execuse whatever for any in
| 'dividual not appearing before the ProvostAiar
shals. We have merely to repeat to- them, if they
do not appear they will be sent after, with some
1thing more than piece of paper issued in peace
able or ordinary times.
The telegraph was silent yesterday ;snotan item
Of intelligence was received before the close of
business. There was some rather unfavorable in
tellgence received by mail from Florida, amount
ing to the surrender Of the city town of Apala-
4Schcola to the Yankees. The conquest will not
amount tomuch in the end, as it is real fever
4 and ague place. with something Of good share ot
bilious fevers always prevailing in warm weather
i There were, however, on the lst September last
1850 bales of cotton in the warehouses at this
place, and unless it has been removed, it will fall
into the hands of the invaders, gratis, were.
T. We were gratiied to meet yesterday ssme opera
4 tors-exporters of cotton and importers of mer
chandise-in good humor. Though they did moi
talk freely, they had that pleasant smile indicat

ments. We cansonly say, bring in all the arms anf

was ascertained. The steamer Robert Watson

with Mobile can be kept open. This is as plain a
that the sun will rise; this morning.
