Year: 1859

There was remarkable paucity of stirring talk
yesterday. The prodigious quantity of dispatches
over the telegraph seemed to exhaust all arguments
pro and con on the eveRs now transpiring on the
other side of the Atlantic. Was there ever such a
mass Of mixed up intelligence denominated news ever
indited before? 1t would be supposed that such a
thing as war never before occurred in Europe 1t is,
however, useless for those who daily meet on the
flags to talk of events to come. We oil know very
well that the Austrians Frenchmen, Sardinians and
Italians are in for war that other powers are
watching, and possibly celebrating which side to
take in the contest Our talk is, that is mpoli-
tic for our folks to be looking with so much apparent
trepidation for the trans Atlantic accounts expected
from day to day. If factors have cotton or tobacco
for sale, if they are wanted they will be called for
When they become unsaleable or deprecated to one
half Of the present market prices, they have been
several times within the last thirty years, it will be
sufficient time to talk of the effects of an European
war on American produce and American interests.


The European intelligence does not, however, we
are gratifed to remark, monopolize all the talk
There is some talk of the present growing crop Of
cotton wheat, corn and other products Accounts OF
the most glowing character are coming from almost
every section 1t is ardenty hoped that the present





extent There is some talk of the high stage of the
Mississippi river, and of great freshets in some sec
tons of the West. The accounts are no ways alarm
ing, because the talk and reports have occurred
almost every season. There is no danger to be ap
pretended at this advanced period of the season to
lower Louisiana from the water that is reported to be
coming down. The talk is, if the evees are carefully
guarded, all will pass we'll 1t was expected the Gre
vase at the Rockland estate, Bayou Lafourche
would have been closed yesterday. The weather has
been propltious for several days for the purpose-n
fact if all the leyees have not been placed in proper
order during the recent favorable weather. they ought
to have been.


The week is closing on a diminished state of bust
ness. Nothing more, however, than customary at
this season of the year. The floating palaces which
are leaving daily for the West are crowded with pas
sengers The renux is not so rapid the influx was
last fall We have not come across that individual OF
individuals who say they will not come back again
No, that haven't. The facilities for travelling are
more enlarged than in previous years. The favored
route inland appears to be by steamboat to Memphis
then via railroad most everywhere. The most comfort
able chances for those who not eager to get through
with all haste is by the splendid Ohio river boats to
Louisville, and the St. Louis steamers to ST. Louis
and the upper Mississippi. The most expeditions
route, however, is via our jackson Railroad, putting
one through to Washington City in four and hall
days; but as every one has no desire to go to ten
miles square, they can reach New York in five and q
half days.


We learn that the accommodations on the jackson
railway route have been greatly improved since last
season. Those who desire to go to Europe and enjoy


sea voyage in comfort will find several fine ships
port, with the best of accommodations, bound fo,
Liverpool, Havre and other ports. More enjoyment
and pleasure can be realized by those going tc
Europeby embarking here direct than by taking the
route via New York. We wish all that are going
pleasant jaunts and safe return as we know all will
come back again. We shall continue to talk to them
through our columns, particularly those who are in
interested in great staple cotton, and by notice
in another column, they will observe the Crescent
can he sent to them in any part of the world for
brief or a heightened period.
