The Rebel Finances as Exhibited by
Rebel Authorities.

The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser
is not pleased with the financial policy
of the rebel Secret tary, MemmiDger. 1t
declares that, with ga smaller civil and
military establishment than the North
and with more economical ndministra-
tion of affairs, the expenses of the Con-
fcdorate Government are nearly double
those, of tho United States" "Howev-
er VIC may deceive ourselves" it adds,
two can not dec eivo the world in re.
gard to these facts. The continuance
of tho war for two or three years longer
will create public debt the interest Of
which can not be paid even at four per
cent" And all this has been brought
about, the Advertiser af6rms, in con.
clusion, by Memminger and those like
him who, by their foolish policy, are
draining the South Of its very life.b blooL
needless altogether of the plaiuest prin
eiples of political economy"

Benedict Arnold's Proclamation to
tho Citizens and Soldiers of tho
United States, Issued Oct. 20, 1889.
You are promised liberty by the lead

your oppressor? Who among you dare
speak or write what he thinks against
the tyranny which has robbed you Of
your property, imprisoned your sons,
drags you to the field Of battle, and is
daily dcluging your country with your
blood?
Your country once was happy; and
had the profcrcd peace been embraced,
the last two years Of misery had been
spent in peace and plenty, and repair
ing the deSolation of a quarrel that
would have set the Interests Of Great
Britain and America in true light, and
comented their friendship.
[ wish to lead d chosen band of
Americans to the attainment of peace,
liberty and safety, the first objects in
taking the field.
What is America but a land Of wild
6ws, orphans and brggars--but what

hitely more misery than tongue can ex
press? 1 give my promise of most nffec

We have by telegraph from Npurfreos-

the Chattanooga Rebel concerning him.

get into Lower Canada, and issue an
address to the people of Ohio. the terms
of which it is kind enough to supply.

of Democrats refusing to support tho

THE PRoPJsEH OF VALLANDIGHAM.
The George James who proposed the
name of Vallandigham in the late Dem
ucratic State Convention, halls from
Muskingun county. The Zlnesville
Courier says this man, James, declared
in the hearing of the editor of hat pa
per, year aud half ago, that this
Union never would be restored, and
that he (James) believed the States
have better right to secede from the
Union than the Government has to put
down the rebellion. This is the polit /,
ical status of the man who proposed the
traitor Vallandigham as a candidate for
Governor Of Ohio. Truly, fitting tool
for the Copperhead party.
