noI W hhoW GHaC, large as the puDllc
debt of the country will be at the close
OF the war, every dollar of it will finally
be paid 1t is therefore the interest of .
stock gamblers, and sharpers of every
degree, to depreciate the Government
securities, and bring on financial crisis
if possible. And they are in a leagued
conspiracy to effect their purpose. The
rebellion can be repressed; but this av-
arice of stock brokers is s'1rrepressible
Taxing Newspapers.
There is bill before Congress re-
quiring all newspapers to be sent through
the mail to subscribers, or to pay an
equivalent by way of license, if sent by
express. The object is to make the P.
o, pay its own expenses. The city pa
pers are down on the project with zeal
which would indicate large personal
interest in the defeat of the scheme.
Mexico.
The allied forces of England, France
and Spain, which undertook the con-
quest of Mexico as a preliminary to
their attack upon US, have met very
unexpected resistance. They thought
poor, PROSTATE, faction-torn Mexico
would submit to the united forces of the
three great powers without a contest.
But the latest news from that country
shows that Mexico will make very for
midable opposition, and will only submit
when crushed by the superior power of
her invaders.
Austria on the Trent Affair.
The official correspondence between
the Minister of Austria and Mr.. Sew
ard, on the Trent affair, is published
The Austrian Government takes the
same view Of the law of nations, in re-
gard to the capture of Mason and Sill
dell, to which Mr.. Seward arrived in
his correspondence with England. An
important principle has been gained by
the United States through what many
deemed, at first view, an act of humilia-
ton.
General Fremont.
Justice is often slow, but, in the end,
is sure. 1t is now said that the efforts
of those who plotted Fremont's over
throw will not only fail of their object,
but that his vindication will be COM
plete. Cameron, who pursued him with
such unseemly enmity, has been COM
PEELED to retire from the Cabinet, and it
is said that others, high il Office, must
follow him. The honest impulses of the
nation were insulted in the treatment to
which Fremont was subj and there
are none SO high in place as not to feel
the popular indignation. Justice, we
believe, will be done in this case, in
spite of the efforts of those who would
prevent it.
Another Naval Expedition
Is fitting out in New York, under the
command Of Commodore Porter. 1t is
to be composed of tweutysix vessels,
each carrying fifteen thirteen inch NOR
tars, and armed, in addition, with one
or two of the largest caliber of rifed
guns. Of course it is not known where
this expedition is about to strike, but it
promises to be most formidable instru-
ment in the suppression of the rebellion.
Victory at Silver Creek. Mo.
On the 9th inst, a very severe battle
was fought at Silver Greek, Mo-, between
the Union forces under Major Terrence,
and the rebels under Col. Poindexter.
Our men attacked the rebels in their in
trenchments, and after severe engage
ment drove them from their position
with great slaughter and in utter confu-
sion. The loss on our side was three
killed and ten wounded; of the rebels
thirty were known to be killed and many
wounded. We captured thirty prison
ers, one hundred wagons, and two hun
dred and fifty horses, besides forty cav
airy horses, and a number of mules; one
hundred tents: eighty kegs of powder,
a large lot of clothing, and $4,000 OF
jeans, and four hundred stand of arms,
&c. The blow was a severe one to the
rebels in Missouri.
The last hope of the Rebels.
| The late Richmond papers draw a
fearful picture of the condition of the
South, surro Lnded as it is by the supe-
rior forces of the Union, on land, and
the Navy by sea. And they declare dis
tinctly, that unless England comes to
their aid Immediately, the only hope OF
the South is to concentrate all her forces
in Ky, and leaving their own States un-
defended, march into the North, through
Ohio, and by sacking our cities remu-
nerate themselves for the expenses OF
the war, and debating their own terms
of peace! This is given out as the on5
possible salvation of the Southern cause
We don't doubt that it would save the
South i 1t scas accomplished!
Who is Col. j JenmisOn!
A great deal has been said about Col
Jeanison of Kansas. A friend who
knows, gives, as one of the reasons why
he don't particularly love the rebels, or
the cause which instigates the rebellion,
the following account of him:
