Provisions IN THE EAsT.-A commit

Provisions IN THE EAsr.-A commit
tee appointed by the committee of safety
at Mobile to enquire into the amount Of
provisions in the city,' have rendered a
report which concludes as follows
From The foregoing it will BE seen that,
placing each tierce Of rice, weighing GOO
lbs. nett. equal to three barrels of -four,
Gas b,eadstuffs food we have together
of these articles of prime necessity of food
equal to l3, 729 barrels -four, ascertain
ed to he in the city; and when we take
into consideration hat many families, fear
ing thu turning of the crew Of the spec
ulator, have provided fair supply of
these articles for a time, we really see no
reason for alarm. On the contrary, IS
imports must go on, from the exIstin q
high D ices current here, we may safety
come to the conclusion we have enough
and to spare.
We have other accounts of large a.
mounts being in store at different points,
Vicksburg is beautifully supplied, and
from the best information we have Port
Hudson also
The new crop of wheat in the East will
be very large. Accounts from all quar-
tiers are favorable. We apprehend no
danger OF starvation for our forces at
Vicksburg aud Port Hudson, from the
occupation of the river BY the en- emy's
gun boats.

CHANGE TIcKETs.-The grand jurors of Pu-
= laski county, have presented an address to the
court, representing the circulation of change
tickets nuisance, They are inclined to look
upon their issue heretofore as necessity. and
have found no indictments under the law. But
they think the necessity has ceased, and de-
clare their intention to admit no such bar
hereafter, should any of them be upon future
juries-
Laying aside the question of Law, the viola
zion of which we never advocate or justify,
(however circumstances may palliate it, and
take away all appearance of moral wrOng) we
must say that none of the usual objections to
change tickets, lie against 1.-THE Exchange
Company at Washington They are per-
fectly secure, and can wrong no who takes
them. They do not increase the circulation,
q since they are issued upon special deposits of
an equal amount of some other currency. They
have been, since the origin of the company an
unnlloyed benefit TO the community. Should
the members of the company be held liable to
the law, it will be just, and they will cheerfully
submit But we would be pleased to see the
penalty made as light possible.
ToURSAMENT.-We have had stationed here
for some time portion of Capt. Nuts COM
pany of rartizans-the Red River Rangers,
under command Of 1t. Sewell.
There are amongst item many young men of
education and high social position in Louisiana,
who have proven very agreeable accessions 70
our society; and for that matter, the whole
company, by their quiet and courteou cleport-
ment and general good order, have COM
mended themselves to our community that we
shall pay them the compliment (Which is not
at all common unfortunately Of b,ins sorry
Cor their departure when the time arrives.
Last Saturday portion of the company en-
tertained our citizens with a Tournament.-
Quite large number of ladies' were in attend
ance, who entered into the spirit of the thing
very heartily. We had never witne sel the
sport before, and founl it much more exciting
than we had supposed. 1t consists in riding
full tilt with long lance, and catching upon
it small ring suspended from rore. 1t is a
difficult feat, requiring good horsemanship,
steadiness of nerve, quickuess of eye, and
dexterity of hand.
Lieut.. Tally carried off the first prize in the
contest-a beautiful wreath of lowers-and
exercised the right of browning with it the
'squeen of love and beauty in favor of Miss
q. F. The second wreath was won by Mr..
Ashmore, afler close contest with yCung NJ.
S. Jones. It was with due grace placed upon

with a silken flag in their hands and her glow
ing words in their hearts On the whole, II
was pleasant affair, and an agreeable i
code in our monotonous life.

of saving the wheat crops will receive imme-

onr honor, and borne ba ok the tide Of desola-
ton, fsr the purpose of throwing ourselves into
the arms, and binding ourselves to the associ
| alton, of such people. Certainly Mr.. VAL
landigham does not. His speeches mus. be a
tissue of duplicity
Some good people viii say we do wrong to
reject the good win and proffered friendship of
such men. Be it so. We have no ideas vet in
common. His counsels would disgrace u.s.
They are the more dangerous. from being so
lns'dious. Truly he charms wisely to win the
ignorant and unwary. But reflect. Unsuccess-
iui revolution is rebellion in history. To restore
the old Union is to consign the Southern Con.
1ederacy to oblivion and ignominy The lead

hundred and severty-ive thousand have fed

And so we have no patience left for "North :
ern men with Southern sediments" and no
manner of respect for Southern men who IA

there be. real, earnest truth in Vallandigham-

BILE, let them operate to unite at some future
time, Independent nations, in some new feder-
alton. Why clamor for the old Union, and
act like Pharaoh with the children of Israel

with rust, and a few fields that we hear of are
badly damaged. 1t seems to prevail about in
spots. Notwithstanding which, the general
impression amongst farmers is that the crop

T A dispatch from Washington 10
the New York Times says il is whispered
in speculative circles that correspondence
is proceeding between the Federal govern
ment and that Of France upon the subject
of letting out tobacco and cotton belong
ing to French merchants 10 Richmond,
Charleston, New Orleans and Mobile.
This raises nice question If the
Federal government chooses to give in
gress aud egress to French ships for the
purpose of exporting our products, pur-
chased by and belonging to French sub
jects we have no reason to object. But
how can she then maintain the blockade
as TO other nations? A blockade with
special license to particular classes, or
exceptions in favor Of any nation is an
heard of.
England, if not 10 collusion with the
Federal Government, could never submit
to such distinction. If against US, she
would of course wink at the transaction,
as a means of pacitying France, and de-
ferriDg her intervention. We would like
to see it done, in order to define the
British position more clearly.
