Affairs Rt New Orleans - Movements OF
Rebel General TRYIOr-MarISets, Etc.
CAIRO, July ls.-New Orleans dates of the
18th instant have been received. No mail steamer
would leave New Orleans for New York during
the week following the 18th Instant but the
mails for the North and East would be forwarded
by each regular steamer.
The True Delta claims TO have positive iufor-
nation that the Rebel Dick Taylor left AIexan-
dria three weeks since for Richmond, and that
the troops lately under him are commanded by
General Walker.
1t is the belief at Alexandria that Taylor, who
has lately been made Lieutenant General, hopes
to be assigned to the command of the transmits
sissippi Department, in place of Kirby Smith.
Taylor being brother-in-aw Of Jeff Davis, this
change is considered quite probable.
There has been moderate inquiry for cotton.
The supply is limited, having been only 100
bales; low ordinary, Sl'O3; strict ordinary, 81 25
The receipts are 400 bales from Vicksburg Sugar
and molasses are held very high, with no sales.
All the leading articles of Western produce and
provisions, and also India baggng and coffee,
continue in decided request and advanced in
price. Flour is in active demand sales of 5000
barrels at S9'75@lO for super, and SlO'2j@lO5O
for extra.

The Stock Market has been more feyerish the
last few days, caused as much from the stringency
in the Money Market as from the uncertainty
attending the financial movements Of Secretary
Fessenden. 1t appears now that the negotiation
with the New York Banks, which the Secretary
of the Treasury was disposed to consummate, has
fallen through, because he would not recognize
the State banks as public depositaries. The As
sociated banks are willing 10 loan 850,000,o00
and receive in payment convertible Treasury
notes or Gold bonds. e.
Mr.. Fessenden declined 10 allow the certified
checks of Mr.. Cisco to pass through the clearing
house, because they would be recognized in place.

termined, it is said, to put popular Loan before
the people. Any party taking $25,0o0 of the
Loan to be considered an agent, and to receive
say one-fourth per cent. commission. With our
light, we think this most excellent plan, and
prefer to have the Government rely upon tha
confidence and patriotism of the people than TO oa
dictated to by arrogant Bank Associations.

" The left OF the line extends no further than

been thoroughly remounted and re-equipped,
and started q day Or two since on a trail of
Che enemy in direction where this corps
will be likely TO do most effective worl, in con-
nection with General GRANTS movements
1t is generally believed that General SHER-
hAN has occupied Atlanta, and is now drv-
ling the Rebel army Of General JOHNSTON
east with great losses to the latter There ia
now but little hope for the Rebels that Gene
raj KIRBY SMITHS army will cross the Mis-
sssippi to reinforce JOHNSTON.
The Rebel cavalry leader FoRREsr has
attacked the Federal garrison at Huntsville,
Alabama, but has gained no advantage thus
far, and it is believed that our forces can hold

CONFERENCE OF SBCEssIONISTS AND
COPPERHEADS IN CANADA.

NIAGARA FALLS, Saturday, July l6.-The op-
posite side of the river is Just now the scene Of
active conferences between prominent Scces.
siOnists from Southern States and active sympl.
thi1ers with secession in the North. Clement G.
Clay, of Alabama; Jacob Thompson, of Missis-
sippi, formerly a member of Buchanans Cabinet;
Beverly Tucker, once United States Consul at
Liverpool; George N. Sanders of Cosmopolitan
and miscellaneous nOtOriety, together with
sundry other gentlemen of the same political
position, but less notoriety, are AT the Clifton
House, where they are visited from time to time
by prominent Democrats and others of secession
sentiments-whose names do not care Just now
to give.
There can be very little doubt that the object
of this gathering is pohtcal--and indeed no
secret is made by the parties concerned, in con-
Vcrsing with persons In whom they have con-
tdenCe, Of the particular purpose they have in
view. They are eudeavoring to devise basis
for the action of the Chicago Convention which
shall accomplish two objects at once, end the
war and secure the triumph of the Democratic
party. In other words, the SecessiOnists are
seeking 10 frame platform for the Democratic
party in the coming election.
l have been told that Clay and Thompson do
not assume get TO speak for the seeded States,
hut they hold out very strong hopes of getting
the assent of those States 10 the propositions they
put forth, proriaed the Democratic party will
pledge itself IN advance to accept them as the
basis of its political action. What these proposi-
tions are am not authorized 10 say, but be-
lieYe they embrace -
/. The return of the Seeded States 70 the
Union.
?. The assumption of the Conte lerate debts
3. The recognition of the freedom of the slaves
actually emancpated in the progress Of the war,
and the StatUS quo ante bellam as 10 all Others.
If the Democratic party Of the Northern States
will insert these panks in It's platform, these Sc
cessiOn emissares hold out hopes Of be1g able
to secure so general an assent TO them in the
South as to give the party great strength in the
election by promising The restoration OF peace.
Whether they have any authority 10 make such
pledges / do not know. ] am inclined 20 think
that they have not but that their mission is
purely voluntary, and that It's object is 10 give
aid aud comfort te the Democratic party in the
coming contest
