The Confederate loan.

Some Of our exchanges are rejoicing that d
Confederate loan of fifteen millions Of pounds
sterling has been taken in London ard Paris AZ
small premium. If this loan vas an Cbso-
l,lte necessity to tho Confederate Government,
we suppose it is all we'll enough. But We see
no cause for congratuation.
As we understand it, the loan Is taken in cot
ton certificates. Our Government agrees, upon
its part, to deliver the cotton at fourteen cents
a pound. AZ any Confederate port in our posses
sion. the holder of the cotton certificate may
designate in payment of the bonds, Cotton At
this time is worth from twenty-five to thirty
cents or twice as much as we get for it by this
loan. SO that the trade does not look like 4
very advantageous one on our part. Besides.
We would dislike, above al things, to see all
or very large portion Of or cotton, now on
hand, in the possession Of the English and
French at the close Of the war.
We repeat if there was an irperious necss
sity 10 raise this money, we are glad the Con
federsts Governments wants have been sup
piled, but we hope the necessity will not exist
hereafter to Be met by a similar arrangement
but that some othe. Anancisl scheme viii be
devised 70 reduce our currency sad keep up our

Ar..s corpus President DAVIS Is H. yell fitted
probably, AS hi1 InO3t ardent admirers claim

tor, ~ irresponsib bic us the Gar of Russia, and
10 no man, even II one could BE- found with
the moderation, wisdom and patriotism Of q
Washington, ought such power 30 be given,
and no necessity can be imagined which would

Few people. except lawyers, understand
what is meant BY the writ of hGbcaS co7oHS, or
are aware Of the consequences u Its suspen-
sion Any person restrained Of his liberty,
has the right to hare the calse Of h!s imprison-
ment enquired into and for this purpose he
may petition the Judge Of the Superior or jas
tice Of the Inferior Court for writ. directing
the person having the prisoner in custody to
bring such person before such Judge or Justice
for he purpose Of examination into the cause
of such detention. Every person held in Gus
entitled to the writ. and upon examination if
it should be found that the prisoner is detained
without legal cause, he may be discharged, or
il sufficient cause appears he may be cemanded

The effect Of the suspension Of the writ Of
ha5sas corpus is manifest. Persons guilty Of
no offence may be imprisoned for any length
of time at the will Of any one powerful enough

Such a power IS too great to be entrusted TO
any one man, no matter how great may be our
confidence that he will not misuse It, There
may be no dangerin investing President Davis
with the power, but his successors may be les;
scrupulous than he, for them there should he
as few precedents as possible, and MS agents
may constitute themselves petty tgrants in

Ia ancient time when feudal state
Was ell the untaught serf deemed great
When tilts were won where fair ones safe
Rebuking irnbecility-
When the stout arm was valued most,
And sturdy spirits power could boast,
To rule realm or rout u host,
Might seemed TO be nobility.
And when Of chlvalry grown tired,
The world with love Of wealth was fired
And brute strength in arms expired
OF cumming and seryility;
The patient plOdder who could bes;
Resign his claim 20 peace and rest,
Got geld, or rank, and thus WAS b!est
With what looked like nobility.
But lswlcss force has been laid low;
Wealths power must meet its overthrow;
And Reason, rousing AZ the blow,
Shall, BY her grand fertility,
Plan greatly for the poor mans good;
Prove human kind brotherhood,
And make it owned felt lt--understoUd,
That blood hath no nobility.
Look up, then, thou who art oppressed
BY thofe WHOM fortune hath cArcSsed-
Who have thy bosom oft distressed
BY slander and scurrility
Learn all thou canst be Heaven acorcd;
Keep faith whate'er the fateS afford
Enjoy. and truckle to no lord
