We note among the items Of news
brought By the last foreign steamer, that
tie Confederate loan for three million
pounds is to be introduced in Paris and
London Immediately. Knowing, US tinan-
ciers do on this side Of the water, the un-
doubted solyency and growing national
resources Of the Confederacy, they cannot
but congratulate tho capitalists abroad on
this most clirible aud every way desirable
opportunity for investing their funds.
There may be some doubts, perhaps, in
certain contingencies, Us 10 the French
funds, and British consols may, in sea-
sons Of great national calamity, run
down, as they have been known
to do, to, distressingly low prices,
hut. as to the punctual payment, in
gold, Of the interest on this Confederate
Loan, and the sure liquidation Of the prin-
cipal when due, business men Of the best
Judgment and we'll informed, as to the re-
sources Of the Confcderacy, andthe.provcd
commercial integrity Of jeff Davis, hare
not a shadow Of doubt. The record Of the
marvellous honesty, and extraordinary
runctua1ity with which the President Of
the Confcderacy, once discharged the obi
rations Of the State Of Mississippi, and
taking up all her bonds at once, gave the
impudent creditors Of that chiyalEic State,
not, it is true, exactly what they claimed,
but q great deal more, Of q different sort,
but still most current and sterling circu
lating medium for the payment Of debts in
Dixie, is a pledge and prophecy Of the
ultimate redemption Of this loan, that can
not be lost on fnanciers In Europe. Then
again, the collaterals BY which this loan is
secured are OF the most .undoubtcd value.
Four millions Of blacks, and all they can
create of cotton, rice, and tobacco for
years to come, furnish such security as the
world rarely secs. If the creditors have to
look to their securities to make their ad-
vanccs good, how perfectly sure they are

sure tie Southern Confederacy is to be
established, and how mighty, prosperous
and rich it must be; never forgetting the
high commercial honor Of its President
and the great regard all its citizens have
ever shown for the sanctity Of an oath, anl
the punctual fuld1lmcnt Of every obliga

London that they have chance to inyesI
in this Loan. We advise them by all
means to get an the Southern paper they
