me Two Government ana their Loans.

Under this head, the New York Herald
has the following interesting remarks rel
alive 10 the Southern Confederacy; "The
amount now due BY the seven States Of
the cotton confederacy is comparatively
small; but their new federal government
has taken measures TO nearly double It IN
single loan, which il war proceeds, Is
mere tribe compared with the debts which
will be ACCUMULATED in very short time.
Il must be confessed, however, that the
Southern Coniederacy has greatly the adj
vantage of the Northern in point OF rev.
enue and expenses, as well as security for
its loan. For the latter It has pledged
tax on every bale of cotton exported, and
the coupons will be legal tenders for the
duties on imports. And while the expen-
ditures Of the Southern government are
comparatively small for Office holders, it
will receive. owing to the Morrill, tariff,
the great bul'xo the imports, thus giving
a tremendous impetus TO Southern trade,
and It will receive nearly all the duties
which heretofore constituted the revenue
Of the Union. Il Is. now receiving, it is
said, 10000 per day, or at the rate Of
twenty millions per annum. What will
its receipts be when the Morrill, tariff
comes into operation1 In the event Of
war. as the North would be the invading
party. the expenses Of its government
would be tenfold greater than those Of the
government Of the South. The President,
however, Of the Southern COnfsderacy,
and the Commander-in-Chiefo Of its forces,
has declared that he will become invader
in turn; but his plan is not to burthen his
own people with the cost, but 10 levy upon
the rich and populous cities of the North,
where there are ample stores Of provisions
and accumulated wealth. In the invasion
Of the South. on the contrary, . Northern
army would have to take its provisions
with Il, for in the South it would find no
stores Of food and few cities 10 sack. The
South is agricultural, and lie population is
sparse, bat is chief products-cotton and
tobacco-would be Of little service to a
hungry army. It would cost, upon the
best calculations Of military men, one
hundred millions q dollars 10 equip and
provision for one year an army sufficient
ly numerous (say 100000 men) to make
any impression upon the revOlutionized
States. Where is this vast sum Of money
to come from ?"
