Correspondence. New Ox.eans, May 1, 1851. The Gossiy'of New Orleans— The Union Feeling at the Souta—News from Texas— City Matters. Our city has become as dull as » Sunday, and thore is hardly a ripple to be observed on the busy Bee ef life, which generally, with us, is kept in # con- stant state of excitement. But, for the last day or we, a calm has prevailed, and the little world @bout us remaine quiet and at rest. The little Rawal occasioned by the South Carolina Conven | tien appears to be looked upon by “old sailors” as harddy of sufficient importance to take in light sails, Lot alone to start tacks and sheets. The provision, in hor secession resolutionss, “ with or without the oe-operation of the Southern States,” was wisely inserted; for if she does secede, as the Yankees would say, “I rather guess’’ she will haveto “go it alone.” What a beautiful little bit of “ sove- reignty” she will make by herself!
