THE GATE CITY.
KEOKU K:



It has long been known that the Lon
don Times and other European paper'
we're paid by the agents Of JEFF. Davis
for their advocacy Of the cause of thereb-
els. And it now appears from the re-
gently captured letters and dispatches OF
the Confederate Government to their
ministers and agents in Europe. that they
have an agent regularly employed and
furnished with funds for that purpose.--
Mr.. Benjamin, rebel Secretary Of State,
writes to Edward DeLeon, approving his
efforts and acknowledging his success In
that direction and promising him addi-
tional funds to enable him to extend the
field Of his operations. Benjamin says !:
"On his 1.-THE Presidential return l
will take measures to forward you addi-
tional means to enable you to extend the
field Of your operations, and 70 embrace,
if possible, the press of Central Europe in
your campaign. Austria and Prussia, ~
we'll ~ the smaller GermAnic Powers,
seem to require intelligence Of the true
condition of our nifain and of the nature
Of our struggle, and it is 70 b hoped you
may end means TO act with eficisncy in
moulding public opinion in those coun-
tries.
"When ! send you remittance, on
the return of the President, lat the end Of
this month"; will give you my views
more at large. u
Now il special agents and ample funds
are provided for subsidixing the Europeau
press, who can doubt thaE similar means
have been employed with the press Of the
North where much nigh, be accomplished
in behalf Of the rebels at small expense
compared with what would be required in
Europe to accomplish even little7
