From The Ptayuns. April 20.
We learn that dealers III provisions ard other nee
esary articles Of trade refOse i'll cases 10 re-
ceive Confederate money III payment for their goods
This s very repreheusibie, and is the cause OF no
little distress TO poor people, who on the isth OF the
representations made 70 them by the auhoriIes have
taken that money, aud have other.
THE SITUATION"
F,on The Pc0vpne, fpi@.
We have devoted freely of our nsp, our subs ance
and exertions to the defense of beloved city,
and have nothing whervwith TO reproach ourselves,
in the way of derelicton or neglect Of duty, to
complish that object We have not succeeded A
superior force, awaiting itself Of facilities Of approach
| We had not the power to rosist and Of An arm III
which we were not capable Of competing with 1t,
has accomplished its purpose, and stands before our
city, debating to uf terms Of surrender.
II now devolves upon US TO meet the exigeDcy
with diguity-not with craven snbnissiveDess Oh
the hand, nor, ms the Mayor says with indecent
slscrity on the other; but with calm and reliant
hope for the moment, Which may confidently
irus is not remote. when our brethren and country
men will achieve our deiiveranoe.
From TIE bee. hpra ~.
No one feels the slightest wish 10 exhibit tisre-
spect toward the Cnionists. They are here in conre
quenCe of having overcome our limited means OF re-
risance they hold the city st their mercy, b caure
We are power!ess ana they are strong. They may
baui down our flags ard substitute their own, and
the population will not attempt 10 interfere, painful
as the spectacle may lie. In fact they have right
TO interfere. The law of might now governs them,
and they are bound TO submit. Under these circum-
stances we conceive that il s really OF small moment
whether the State flag be removed from the summit
Of the City Hail either by the UnioDisis or by US.
The loss OF New Orleans TO the Confederate Gov
ern ia "A m and folly to ssek
TO paiiate or deny the extent OF the midortune.
But though conquered tie citizens are not dismay ed.
They have not saeriiiced their sel.-resrec. or i'm
paired their dignity. They do not indulge IN boot
less lanentation nor they guilty Of tho pusrie
sbsuIdiy Of hunting up victims for s'er wrath aud
ese0tment.
