A large meeting was recently held in Hunting
don, Ineana, It which resolutions strongly con-
demning the policy Of Lincoln were adopted.
Mr.: Boileau, Editor of the Philadelphia Esening
Journal has been arrested by order Of Lincoln and
imprisoned, on account of the freedom with which
that paper has spoken Of his administration This
arrest occasioned great excitement in Pennsylvania
and New York. Judge Ludlow, of Philadelphia,
charged the Grand Jury on the subject, and told
them that the time had arrived to stop these arbi-
trary and unconstitutional arrests. The matter
was before the Legislature at Harrisburg, and the
common branch of the City Council of Philadelphia
had denounced the arrest as unconstitutional.
These and other signs at the North are favorable
to the Southern cause; but it must be borne in
mind that the Republicans are still in power in all
the departments Of the government and will con.
tinue to be, until next December, when the new Con.
gress will assemble A speedy and radical change

sections sincerely desire peace there can be no doubt
but how to reach that result is the question.
A NEW FINANCIAL PRoJEcE-We are indebted to
the author, Mr.. Grey A. Chandler of Mississippi,
for pamphlet copy Of his letter to friend usgestng
plan for sustaining the credit of the Confederate
government and paying off the war debt, which he
strongly supports by facts and figures That part
Of his plan which relates to the purchase of cotton
by the government, was proposed in this journal
more than twelve months ago It deserves the
most serious consideration of statesmen and 6aan-
ciers. His plan is embraced in the following propo
sitions, which he Celebrates in his letter:
81. That the Constitution be amended "a to make
Confederate notes legal tender, and that the national
debt be funded.
That the government shall become the pure,aserof
the entire cnttun crop-npt for year only. but for
series of years-payng the planter therefor fixed and
uniform price. ...,
3. That government being the absolute owner the
entire cotton crup and having undspued control of the
same dictate the price, and thus, virtually make the
world pay its debts.
That heavy export duty he levied upon every bag
shipped on private account so as to give the government
the exclusive monopoly of the trade.
g. That COTTON even at so cents per pound. is known to
be the cheapest article for clothing purposes that has yet
bee discovered aud the present demonstrated that
the world must and will have it that price, though
it might be policy to sell it for less.
g. That the government shall guarantee to the planter
twelve cents for his cotton, and then by selling for even
double that price more be had the would
only pay off ihe national debt in i've years. but pruvde
fund out of which navy may be built in the meantime
and persons reimbursed BY individual losses growing out
Of the war."
