We should not be surprised IL, notwithssand
ing adverse Influences, there should spring up
q great competition from abroad for our gov
eminent securities, paying, as they do, an in
terest Of seven aud three-tenths per cent. The
Bank Of England has reduced lie rate Of in
tsrest to four per cent. The British consois,
paying but three per cent, are sold at sb~ut
ninety-one, and the French Tsntes, paying four
and a half per cent, are sold ~ about ninety
eight. The advantage of orr government loan,
as well secured, certainly, as The national
debts Of either England or France, are obvi-
Gus 70 the simplest mind, and it would be some
thing very remarkable il there should not be a
very considerable investment in them on for
eign account.

VAMPIREs.-We have occasionally noticed
in northern papers, says the Montgomery
Advertiser, publications in reference to the
operations Of army contractors and other spec
u~lators, who were endeavOring to coin money
out Of the necessities OF the government, and
have turned away Disguised at the open eXhi-
bitiOn Of the baseF qualities OF human nature.
The character Of the people North for specu-
lation and trade was, however, so we'll known,
hat the feeling excited By the exposure of
their plans for sucking out the life blood of tAe
phople and government was not one Of sur
prise. It was one Of utter, intense lOathiug.
For the credit Of the southern land and peO-
ple-for the sake Of the cause Of indepen-
denee in which we are engaged, we had
hoped that the good name and fair fame
Of the South would not be suiled By the exhibit
ton Of any Of those traits Of character which
have rendered the Yankees so contemplate.
But we deeply regret to see that there are men
in the South whose greed ofsgaia so compete
~ obsCures their patriotism that no one would
ever suspect them Of entertaining an aspiration
higher than cent per cent. It is Notifying to
reflect that there are men Sc dead to every pa
tri0tc impulse iB in the present war for indie
pendence, as to devote all the energies Of their
minds to the one idea of making every dollar
possible out Of the necessities Of the govern
meht and the people.
