THE Return Of the Theodore, etc., etc.
AUGUSTA, October 3l.-The Charleston
Mercury of this morning, furnishes an inter
esting account of the departure of the Minis
listers of the Confederate States from that port
and the return of the steamer Thcodora. The
party, consisting of Hon. j. NJ. Mason, Minis
ter to England; Hon. John Slidel, Minister to
France; Mr.. Mcfarland, Secretary of Lcga-
tion to Mr.. Mason; Mr. Eusts, Secretary of
Legation to Mr.. Slidcll Mrs. Sidell and two
daughters, Mrs. Eusts, daughter of Mr.. Cor
coran, the well-known banker of Washington,
who is now in Fort Lafayette; Colonel Lamar
They arrived at Nassau that night, at Cardcnas
on the 10th, and Havana on the 18th, where
they were enthusiastically received. The la
dies of Havana presented to the steamer a
flag, and the ladies of Matanzas sent FLAG to
Hampton's Legion.
The Theodore returned to the Confcdcracy
with vauable cargo. She reports that the
steamer Keystone State had captured and gone
to New York with a Southern steamer loaded
with arms and ammunition.
Capt. S. j. Short of the British Navy, has
resigned his commission, and arrived in Sa-
vannah, and has rendered his services to the
Confederate Government
Several South Carolinians, lately arrived
from Europe, report that the feeling in Eng
land and France is warming up in favor of the
South.
A valuable cargo of coffee, ammunition,
saltpctre, sulphur and small arms, has recently
arrived at Confederate port
VIRG1NIA.-In no spirit of vain glory, says the
Richmond Despatch of the 1st instant, but
from sheer sense of justice, we cpropose ere long
to publish some facts concerning the contribu-
tions of Virginia to this war, which we think
will silence the mouths of those who are dis
posed to criticisc this noble old State. She has
given herself for the battle ground of one and
all she has furnished nearly every pound of
powder and most of the heavy ordnance that
have been used between the Potomac and tie
Gulf of Mexico; she has scvcnty-fve thousand
men in the field. In this connection we may
add that the labors of her Governor in the
common cause has been incessaut. lie has
given himself, his time, his talents, and his en-
ergics without stint to the glorious work. We
are persuaded that the Confederate Govern
mcnt can find no fault with Virginia nor will
her Governor, but will promptly acknowledge
that they have been in the front rank and be-
hind ro other in tolls and struggles, and sac
rifces.

GETTING ALARMED.-Sce the circular Of
mistake in the matter. The Yankee Govern
ment is thoroughly alarmed at something it
has heard relative to the disposition of foreign
powers. 1t is true, Seward says that the chan
ccs in favor of our succeeding abroad in our
attempt to secure the cooperation of foreign
powers are less than they ever have been. But
nobody can be deceived by this declaration--
He has heard something, and he is frightened.
AT first he said nothing to the Yankee Govern
ors. The insurrecton was small affair-he
could put it out SO easily, it was hardly worth
thinking about Now however, his tone is
altered. He calls on all the Governors to for
tify their harbors! Why do it now rather than
at an erlier period? Depend upon it, he has
heard something which has greatly alarmed
the Government.
The effect of this circular in New York WAS
tremendous. Stocks Of every description tum-
bed at once into the very dirt, and thousands
upon thousands were ruined. Some arc un-
charitable enough to believe the reports about
Stewards habits, and think he was drunk when
when he wrote the circular. It has been said
that he has not drawn sober breath since

marched up Main street from the prisons yes
terday afternoon and sent South by way of
Petersburg Their destination is Columbia,
s. .. They were guarded by Sc men of the
Charlotte Grcys under of command Thomas S.
Henry. The appearance of the prisoners in
public occasioncd little sensation, as our peo-
pie have become accustomed to such scenes.
Some few of the men were without hats or
shoes, though the majority of them looked as
we'll as could be expected after confinement
of two or three months Their departure was
very quiet and the small crowd at the depot
let them go without using any Gerisive remarks
in their hearing We hope the authorities will
make speedy arrangements to send off another
gang, for there are still more in the Richmond

FINANCES OF THE CoNFEDRAcY.-A late
number of the Richmond Wing gives the fol-
lowing gratifying Intelligence. 1t says: "From
one in Il situation to be we'll informed we learn,
that the financial condition of the Contcderacy
is far better than VIC had supposed The
whole expenditure Of the Government, up to
this day, does not exceed fifty million. This
does not include the expenditures by the States
and voluntary contributions. We also hear
that the authorities feel no fear of not being
able to raise whatever sums may be necessary
forth public cause. We are glad to hear this
and it will be rcassuring to the country"
This announcement will surprise cvrybody.
The manner in which the States have come to
the support of the Confederate treasury in its
time Of need affords some evidence of the re-
sources and moral power of our new Govern
mcnt. And yet no State has seriously cmbar-
rasscd itself. All could do ten times as much
as they have done without expressing the
people.
Just think of it; only fifty million up to the
present time, while the Lincoln government is
Sroaning under burden of eight millions per
aceek! Let nations abroad think of this picture
and then say how long will it take the Lincoln
tyranny to conquer and subjugate us.

From dispatches to the Cincinnati Enquirer;
WASHINGTON Friday, Feb. 22.-As said would be
the case, the Peace Conferences, at one Ms To-Day
commenced voting on the propositions OF setlenenl
All ground debate was then closed and amendments
commenced to be proposed, discussed IN hVe-mlnute
speeches and voted upon. 1t Is useless ior me 10
send the various propositions, as all OF them, or
their substance, has before been published IN one
form other
1t is expected that some fifty amendments or sub
sttutes will be offered before the Conference VIII
come to final vote. Some of the Commissioners
think that an entirely satisfactory plan OF settle
ment will be adopted on Monday, If not tomorrow.
If il is approved Saturday, it is believed that 1t
will be by a smaller majority than It would receive
on Monday, as it is expected when Mr. Lincoln ar
rves here and learns the true state of the country
he will make known his views IN regard 10 COM
promise which the conservative Republicans say
will be favorable. This may prove to be correct;
but see nothing IN his speecnes ueINereu III mia
delphia this morning to sustain such faith
Let happen what will, am assured that the Con-
ference will adopt such plan as all the border
States can stand upon, but whether the required
number of States will adopt it as part OF the Con-
sttution and make the law of the land, is doubt
full. This Is the lion at the door OF settlement.
Some time since the opponents of compromise sent
to Kansas TO secure the attendance OF delegate
who they hoped, would act with them. Today
the delegate appeared and asked admission but the
anti-compromsers having but little faith In their
ally, opposed his admission on the ground OF the |
near approach of the final action of the Committee
greater part of the afternoon was occupied with
the question of his admission.
Information received to-day from Montgomery |
indicates that Congress will regard any attempt on
the part of the United States to maintain its auhor-
ty in the Confederate States as an act OF war; which
will be followed by instantaneous reprlsaL |
The collection of the revenue and the retention OF
the Forts it would take attempt to hold them
to subjugation.
More evidence before the stolen bonds committee
shows the utter groundlessness of the charge. The
telegraphis correspondent of one of the New 1srk
papers testified that he had not word of fact Tor
the sensation dispatch which he sent about the as
founding defalcations in the Departments.

add only an alIusion to the lady amateurs whose

musical endowments, natural and acquired, are sur
passed by few professional performers. As a solid
substratum for the whole we have the Philhsrmo-

The Hall now that the workmsn are out of 1t and
