was present last evening at a small social
party OF intelligent lOyalists from Texas, Tenn

pressons OF desire to see Slavery wiped out by
the present war was almost unanimous A
Shareholder from Austin, Texas, informed me
that the Unionists Of that State, who were nu-
merous, were almost of one mind 10 this matter
In point of fact, they believed that Slavery had
committed suicide By rebellion and in point of
principle, they rejoiced at this fact, firmly be-
hevlng that the future existence Of Slavery and
free government together in the Union, would be
utterly incompatible. The Texas oyalists, he as
sured me, aresuOngly opposed to restoring Slave
ry, which they regard as equivalent 70 the res
toration Of to rebellion. Think, from what
see, that within few years the present Con-
servauye politicians Will publish aiidayits,
testliying that they were wholly opposed to the
restoration Of Slavery, just as some Of them are
now publishing aiidIWtsin lire Ohio newspa pers,

The Rebel Finances.

The rebel currency is in a bad way. jeff Da
Wis in bis message, after discoursing dolorously
respecting the financial condition Of bis bogus
Confederacy. referred his congress to the report
of his Secretary of the treasury for a more full
and detailed statement of the disease which was
at work upon the vitals of the rebellion, and the
remedy which that sagacious officer had pre-
pared for the case. That report has been pub
lished, and is certainly not the most cheerful
reading for rebels and their sympathzers. Mr..
Memminger, who has the distinguished infelicity
of presiding over the rebel finance department,
very distinctly announces to his confederate reb-
els, that there is bat single step between the
shareholders coniederacy, and collapse and ire
trlevable ruin. Something must be done, and he
adjures Congress to do i. quickly. Confederate
paper has so deprecated us to be almost value
less. Not only no more must be issued, ut Ave
hundred millions of that already in circulation,
must be funded in some way. On this subject
Memminger daes in this goomly prophetic
strain
'" ne continuance o. the notes as a circulating
medium to their present extent involves the ruin
of the public and private credit, and will deprive
the Government Of the means Of defending the
lives and property of its citizens. If the currency
remains in The present. expanded state, no mea-
sure of relief can be made etfectua Prices must
advance, and the means of the Government to
pay these prices must daily lose efficiency. I0res
becoms frutless, by reason Of the depreciation Of
the money. The army can neither be paid, clothed
nor fed ; arms and munitions of ,Odr can no
longer be supplied; The officers Of the Government
cannot be supported AND THE COUNTRY MUST
sUCCUMB."
The Secretary in this azure state of the confed-
crate finances, purposes loan Of thousand mil
lions, and tax of five per cent on all property,
including real estate and slaves. This, Memm n
ger admits is unconstitutional, but be says that the
dar gerous condition Of the rebel finances admits
of no delay, aud no constitutional scruples.
the rebels are beginning to find that treason is

the precise words used by Gen Grant in letter
to Hon 4. b. Wrshburn, dated Aug 10, 1863 ::
d" The people OF the North need not quarrel over
the Institution OF slavery. What Vice President
Stevens acknowledges as the corner stone of the
conIederacy is already knocked out. Slavery is
already lead, and cannot be resurrected. 1t
would take "a standing army to MAINTAIN slavery
in the South it we were to make peace to-day
guarantying to the South all their former con-
sttutional privileges. never was an abolitonst,
not even what would be called ant-slavery, but
try o judge fairly and honestly, and it became
patent to my mind early in the rebellion that
the North and South could never live at peace
with each other except as one nation, and that
without slavery. AS anxious as | am to see
peace established, | would not, therefore, be
willing to see any settlement until this question
is forever settled
