MA-Some conservative gentlemen, who
left the United States, some time since,
5ecausei was engaged in what they called
"an abolition" war, and because they were
determined not to be conscripted to fight
for the "nigger," have been heard from
in Canada. They had escaped the SER
vice of Uncle San, and had entered that
of Sawbo. They were paying for their
daily rations by saving wood for British
subjects of American birth and African
descent, who emigrated, few years since,
from the sacred soil SO hotly defended BY
our Southern brethren, and found homes
in the dominons of the benefcent Brit
ish. 1t is happy escape, surely, for
Conservative gentlemen, to avoid the
Abolition war by saving wood for niggers
in CaL ada.

THE CONFEDERATE DEBT-The re-
fusal of the Legislature of Georgia to
guaranty any portion of the Confederate
debt will hasten the collapse of the rebel
finances, as 1T will still further knock
down the quotations for Confederate
bonds abroad. Tie quotations, it is now
apparent, were inflated when the loan was
put upon the market, and the sudden fall
has already caused panic among the
secession sympathizers Without any
money or credit the supplies which have
heretofore been furnished to the rebels
by mercenary Englishmen must soon
cease, and this will hasten the downfall
Of the rebellion.
There is great dullness in trade in New
York, and much anxiety to sell, partcu-
Iarly on the part of holders of cotton
goods and foreign fabrics Several large
sales of foreign dress goods are announced
at auction Those who are shrewd in
reading the signs of the times infer that
there will be no foreign Intervention or
war, and that the prospect of speedily
putting down the rebellion is considered
to be much brighter.
No COUNTRY FOR CoPPERHEADs. :
AT the recent state election in Michigan,
in the towns Of Waterfowl, Dement,,
Wisner, Wells and Kingston, all in the
county of Tuscola, not single copper
head vote was polled-evary one for the
Union. In the town of Wells the only
man that was democrat last year came
out for the Union, and was elected Su-
pervisor.
