Inc Charleston Mercury reopeus the Question
Of the selection Of the peuuauent capital for the
Confederate government Neither Montgomery
nor Richmond viii answer, the Mercury thinks
because they are both State capitals, hot places.
aud not conspicuous for health. Richmond Is
not sufficiently central, and Montgomery too far
south. We quite agree with the Mercury, as to
the ineligibiIity Of these locations. After exam
lining the claims Of various cities spoken Of, the
Mercury gives preference to Huntsville, Ala
and presents the following reasons:
Various places have been spoken Of in this
connection, such as Flat Rock, in North Caro-
Ina Atlanta, Georgia Chattanooga aud Nash
vile, Tennessee. Most Of these places are, in
our Judgment, too far east.
Westward the eisr Of empire takes It's way
Nashville is too far north, and too near the
border, besides other great objections. We
would suggest the mountain region Of North
Alabama, as that most suitable for the seat Of the
Confederate government. Between Blount
county and Madison, where Huntsville il, are
splendid mountains, rich valleys, fine waters, q
charming climate summer and winter, and noble
woods. This region Is very central, and aces
sible to our people 0feyery section Atthe same
time, a city here could never be captured by an
enemy until the country was OyeTun and con-
quered, Through Huntsville, perhaps the most
beautiful town Of its size in the whole southern
country, noted for its fine population and public
spirit, runs the great thoroughfare Of the Mem
phis and Charleston railroad, connecting the
East and West. From Montgomery below, 10
Decatur, near Huntsville, a railroad, north and
south, is now rapidly constructing. This con
meets the railroad lines below the mountains with
those above, in the very center Of the Southern
Confedersey. 1t passes through Blount county,
just one mile from the celebrated, but heretofore
inaccessible, BlOuut springs, whose sulphur
waters are equal in strength and virtue to the
great Greeubrsr Springs Of Virginia, while the
scenery Is grandly beautiful, and the climate UNI
surpassed throughout the year.
Il has been cur fortune to be Al both these
places Wehave also visited the others men
toned as suitable. IN our judgment, there il no
comparison in the respective and combined adj
vaRtages offered by these two, and By any Of the
others. The region Of country between Hunts
vile and the BlCunt springs offers the best site,
all things considered, for the permanent capital
of the southern C0nfederaey, and we know Of
no circumstances that would constitute a serious
objection.

aEe.sage OF the Governor Of New York.

ALBANY, Y. Y, January THE following is
the digest Of the annual message Of the Cover
nor Of New York to the Legislature;
After reviewing briefly the present condition
Of the country, he says: "Our State eIedit, the
index Of an abiding confidence in the govern
ment, never stood higher than now, and the
finances, although drawn on for the wal, ere in
a satisfactory condition. Forty per cent. Of the
advances made by the State have been returned
from the Federal treasury
The Governor recommends such legislation on
capital punishment as viii impose the death pen
atty only in the first degree of murder. He re-
commendS that works or military tactics be in
troducedin n all the State colleges and academies,
and that drill be made a part Of the exercises.
The banking business Of the State Is reported to
ia in a sound and healthfil condition. Emil
grants arriving at New York have fallen OFT
thirty-eeven per cent. from last year, and are
leas than any year since the organization OF the
board OF commissioners Of emigration, The
Governor recommends that the New York pro
portion OF the Federal tax OF 500 Goes D be az.
sumed at once blythe State, and proposes a mode
Tor its Liquidation The condition Of the militia
is alluded to, and legislation recommended that
viii conform with the laws Ct Congress, and
improve the efficiency of the discipline Of the
state militia. The Governor then enters iuto a
review OF political troubles of the country, and
the action of the State Of New York. The se-
greQate number Of men raised for the WAY in the
State has been l20.575. The number now in
the field, deducting the killed, wounded, prison
ers, discharged, etc, i s9,040. There are now in
the State in addition, mustered into United

The New York Herald publishes an elaborate
| statement Of the condition Of some Of the hs4-
ing cotton manufacturing djstriis il New Eng
land. It states that owing to the rise inc the
price Of tho staple, numbers of The heaviest cot

heavier profits by selling their raw material at
present prices than 5y the sale Of manufactured
goods, even at the increased rates.
For instance, at Biddslord, Maine, the amount
Of cotton now held blythe Laconia corporation is
about $500 bales, which, at the present rate d
consumption, viii last upwards Of two years.

corporation, the sum Of $1,000 would Be reaI-

or $4,000 more by selling their cotton than in
working it up, tie difference would stil be in
their favor.

SURVEILLANCE OVER THE NEWSPAPERS
We understand that q bll has been introduced
in Congress TO put the newspapers under sur

For the past few days the weather has been
severe; everything is one solid lump Of ice.

An Interesting Description OF the steamer
MerFimac.


a Norfolk correspon lent gives tho following
interesting particulars of the Norfolk Turtle -
the steamer Merimac:
Yesterday at dress parade orders were read out
for all who wished to volunteer for sir months
service aboard the Merrimac, to report themselves
at headquarters. From this the inference is that
she will soon be ready for Sos. Tine Yankees,
fully oPPTisgd OF everything going on with us.
are on the lookout for her, aud are prepared 10

to force the blockade, az she certainlyHaiH IN
asmuch as the LiRcolnites are a~ANagfulv
posted in regard 70 her, there can Nan hiuE
faulty in giving you a slight idea OF utbet bnde-
script craft. Once she was the pride q the FED
eraI navy, and considered the finest OF her class
shost. Being at the Gosport navy-yard when
the frightened essians fed from that institution,
they attempted to destroy her, but failed in the
Undertaking. Actirg on the hint OF the New
Orleans Turtle" the government determined
to make q Norfolk Turtle of the Merrimace, and
woTk1len have been busily engaged on her for
nearly six months, aud a striking metamorpho-
sis they have effected in her general appearance.
From a f~rst-elass frigate she is RACED down till
the surface she presents above water is no greater
than that Of an ordinary canal boat, and on that
surface no balls nor shells can take effect Three
feet below heI water lines the iron plating, four
inches thick, on solid oak twenty-eigbt inches in
thickness, commences and runs upward from
each side, sloping ike the roof of a house, and
being, in fact, an iron roof on a floating house.
No spars, no masts, no upper works Of any kind
are in sight. Even the chimneys are on spiral
springs, quashable - without injury, and the
only place she can be struck is on her IRON roof
The only way Of getting into her is through a
small hatchway, TO which is an iron door fasten-
ing immovably on the inside, 80 that the enemy
had as well attempt TO board a loggerhsad turtle
as her. Her armament consists of three heavy
guns on each side, and one at bow and stern.
The iron cleaver in front is supposed capable of
dividing a Yankee ship in two equal portions
with great nicely and dispatch. To all appear
auces she is q most formidable institution, and
whether she prove a success or not, the Yankees
are greatly exercised on her account, and the
very name of Merrimac is a terror to them.

The resignation Of Secretary Cameron, whrh is
announced, arose hom a difference Of opinion
between himself and Lincoln on the emanciPa-
ton policy Of the administration. It is reported
that Cameron viii be appointed United States

The Financial Crisis In The North.
The financial crisis is yet unsettled in the
North, CONSERVATION and panic prevailing every
where. Business in New York city is said to be
entirely suspended IN the midst Of an anxious
suspense as to what will be the next foreign
accounts relative to the result Of the Trent affair
and the surrender Of Mason and Slden.
1t is proposed in the United States Congress
to issue one hundred millions of treasury notes.
The success Of the scheme Is considered extreme
ly doubtful as the people are already refusing to
take those now in the market. The New York
Herald advocates a dieeet tax-that fifty millions
of dollars be raised on articles Of necessity, su-
gar, coffee. tea, etc, and seventy five millions by
stamp duties. Nothing had been done up te
the 18th, and the Herald thinks that the future
looks black.
