ANAFBlCAN GOVERNMENT IN BETTER CREDIT
ABROAD TRAN THE SOUTHERN CoNFEDERACY.
1t is well known that on the frst breaking
out of the rebellion, the Coniederates sent
several agents abroad to imp ore their recog-
milton and negotiate bonds with European
capita lists. The principsl agtn were W..
L. Yancey, Dudley Mann, Thomas Butler
King and Judge Rost, of Louisiana. Thus
far they have not succeeded in obtaining the
sought.for recognition, or iu raising m ney
abroad on their cotton loan bonds. Euro.
pean capitalists would not ou h the e bonds
al any price. So much for the boosted credit
Of the Southern Confederacy abroad.
Now mark the difference A few week 3
ago the Emperor of Morocco, through his
agents, offered a new Moorish loan on the
London Stock Exchange for Gl, 200 600 ster-
ling, equal TO $6.000000, beariDg seven per
cent interest, and running thirty years, for
which the revenues from customs were
pedged. The loan was offered to raise
money to pay the Spanish indemnity, to
procure the evacuation OF the fortress OF
reluan. This loan was received with ex-
traUrdinary favor and all taken on the first
day. A London telegram received at Liver
pool and published in New York on the
arrival of the City Of Washington says:
"The Moorish Loan wss regarded with so
much favor that The bids had reached ten

following additional news from various
points OF the South, in the papers read to-
day:
Ex. Governor Campbell declines the tender
OF the appointment of a Brigadier- General,
and assigns as a reason his physical in
cspabllity to perform the duties of the Office.
He was to have filled the place vacated by
the death of Gen. Zollicoffer.
The bill to raise troops, to meet the requi-
sition in Virginia by the President of the
Confederate States, passed both branches OF
the Virginia General Assembly on Monday,
in secret session. The bill provides that ali
companies now in the field shall be filled IN
to the number of one hundred men; that
the Governor shall call for volunteers for this
purpose; and that if the requisite number
be not thus enlisted, the deficiency is to be
made up by draft from the enrolled militia.
The injunction of secresy has been re-
moved from the bill passed by Congress ap-
Dropriatipg $2000,000 for the benefit of the

death of John Tyler.
The War Department has issued an order
for the seizure of all corn in the hands OF
distillers and others to be used for the pur-
pose of distillation. This step is taken, not

The Prince Imperial of France is beginning
to furnish frequent subjects for gossip mon
gers. A Paris correspondent of the London
Star writes:
The Prince Imperial now takes lessons oil
very instructive kind in natural history.
His curiosity is awakened to the wonders OF
the ''three Teigns" by one of his governesses,
and by way of reward for attention to his
studies, he is brought for practical explain
alton to the Jardin d discrimination in the
Bois de Boulogne. There is no doubt but
that he profits greatly by this mode of in.
struction as, during his visits to the Zoolo
gical and Botanic Gardens there he displays
considerable intellectual activity, and an in-
tenslty of curiosity which is in Juveniles an
excellent presage of the manner in which
they may unfold. 1t is said that the Empe-
ror lays down as the key note of his SON
education that he should be taught to think
of every thing he hears or sees, and "the
reason why" if he does not ask it.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.-An instance of mis-
taken identity has just occurred, which
shows how necessary it is to exercise caution
in charging another with criminal often Sc.
A watch was stolen from the pocket of res.
ident of the city, and female was charged
with the theft. The complainant said she
approached him, in the dusk of the evaniug,
ss if to ask question, and that she snatched
81 his watch ribbon, and, breaking it. ran off
with his watch that he started in pursuit of
her, but tripping and falling heavily, he was
unable to rise for few moments. In the
mean time the thief made her escape. He
said he could not be mistaken in the identity
of the accused, because be had good look at
her, and recollected her distinctly. She pro-
tested her innocence; but as the testimony
was positive, her protestations were not re-
Rarded, and she was committed. On the
same day the watch was recovered at pawn
brokers', and the female who pawned it was
arrested by the police. She told from whom
she got it, and that person was arrested. The
result was the establishment of the entire in
pocence of the woman first arrested and her
prompt discharge.-PhiIadelphiG Ledger.

You often read about "a line of battle"
and, dare say, think that the two armies
stand in two lines but it is not so. The
army is divided into divisions, and there
are often great gaps between the divisions
They are posted in positions, or in COM
mandiDg places-that is, on hills, or in
woods, or on the banks Of streams, in places
where they will be best able to resist or at
tack the enemy. The divisions are usually
so placed that they can support one another.
When l was a school-boy, we had game
called "gould." (The proper word was goal }
Two boys chose sides, and each party had
its 'gould," or goal. One boy would give
'dare." Then boy of the opposite side
me out to catch him, to make him pris-
oner; then second boy of the enemy came
to help the first one on that side; then there
was chase, and quite likely capture.
Oh, those were grand old times l dare
say you know all about it. Well in some
such way, the divisions Of an army are
placed, to help each other. You can under
stand a line of battle pretty we'll, by i'm
agining regiment here on hill, another
down in a valley, third ia piece of
woods, with artillery and cavalry placed in
the best positions. If you want TO make it
more real, when you are out in the fields or
pastures, with the hills all around, just i'm
agine that the enemy is over on youder
hill, with ten thousand men and twenty
pieces ofartillery. You are General, and
have an equal number. The enemy will
come down that road, spread out in the
field, or creep up through the woods, and at
tack you. You can't exactly tell how many
men he will send on the right, or how many
on the center, or how many on the left, so
you must arrange your forces to support
each other Then, to shift it, you are to at
tack him. You don't know how his troops
are arranged, for he keeps them concealed
as well as he can. You don't want many of
your men killed, but do want to win VIC
tory. Now, there is q chance for you to try
your skill in planning line of battle.
You must place your artillery where it will
do the most damage, and receive the least
from the enemy. You must move your in
fantry so that they will not be cut off by
the enemy before they get near enough to
cut them up in return. You see that it is
no small thing to be General. There are
great responsibilities.

MURDERER CAPTURED AFTER LAPSE OF
Two YEARS About tive years ago Michael
Walsh murdered a man named Frank Mixen,
in this city, on Broadway. The murder was
done in broad daylight, with knife, which
Walsh plunged into Mixen's heart, causing
death almost instantly. The murderer left
for parts unknown, and every sxertion to
bring him to justice wes foiled. Lately our
Chief of Police ascertained that Walsh was a
p ivate in the Sixteenth Indiana Regiment,
now on the Potomac, and Captain Cousin n 8
addressed letter 10 Colonel CAN'T, inclosing
one to General Mcclellan, asking that the
fugitive be given up to justice. An order
was Immediately obtained for the arrest of
Walsh and his transfer 10 this city, and he
will probably arrive here in few days
and be brought to justice which he has so
long evaded-SL Louis Republican, lOh.

of an earthquake was noticed at several To-

Fires Caused by not-Air Furnaces,

During the past two or three weeks, several
fires have originated in New York from i'm
perfectly constructed hot-air furnaces. The
attention of Fire Marshal Baker having been
directed to fires thus caused, and application
having been made for informstion, he has
furnished the following suggestions;
ut does not follow, az is enormously
supposed, that after furnace has been used
for several years, it can not fire a house. Two
fires Of recent date originated from furnaces
In use for over ten years. Some people be-
lieve that the furnace, after long and success
ful use, has proved It's safety beyond ques-
ton. This is not so

CHIEA.-A court revolution has taken
place in China. The Council OF Regency
appointed by the late Emperor until his soa
and successor should reach his majority,
has been broken up and several of its mem
bers beheaded or forced to commit suicide
Prince Kung, the brother of the late Enpe
ror, has taken possession of the reigus OF
power, the empress dowager retaining the
nominal title of President. The revolution
took place in October, while the court was
returning from its exile in Zehol TO Pekin.
At a given signal the members of the Couu
cil-eight iu number-were surrounded by a
body of cavalry, made to undergo a short
trial, and then sentenced to capital punish
ment or perpetual banishment. Foreigners
are expecting great things from this coup, as
the Council of Regents was hostile to inter
course with ''outside barbsrians."

SAVAGE ExPEDIENT TO OBTAIN WATER
Livingstone, the African traveller, describes
an ingenius method by which the Africans
obtain water in She desert. The women tie
8 bunch of grass to one end of a reed about
two feet long, and insert it in hole dug as
deep as the arm will reach, then ram down
the wet sand firmly around it, Applying
the mouth to the free end of the reed, they
form a vacuum in the grass beneath, in
which the water collects, and in a short time
rises 10 the mouth. 1t will be seen that this
simple but truly philosophical and effectual
method might have been applied in many
cases, in different countries, where water
was greatly needed, to the saving of life
Il seems wonderful that it should have
been now first known to the world,
that it should have beeh abitually
prscticed in Africa, probably for CEN
turies. 1t seems worthy of being particu-
larly noticed that it may no longer be ne
elected from ignorance. 1t may be highly
important to travellers in our deserts and
prairies, in some parts of which water is
known to exist below the surface.

proposed by Congress on newspapers, says;
We deliberately place on record our un-

which, while pretending to augment the
funds in the National exchequer, is
simply designed to rob the many for the
benefit Of the few; to place an insupera6le
obstacle in the path Of progress; TO cast the
universal mind of this country back half a
century in the march of popular informa-
tor; to relieve public servants OF much of
that useful fear of the press which controls,
for good, their official performances, and
weaken to a serious extent the potentiality
