There is an active and steady business
doing. The fall trade has fully started
Stocks are in good assortment, and city
and country buyers are numerous, all
buying moderately, making in the aggre-
gate a heavy amount. The foreign goods
market has been very active, and importers
are realizing good prices. Desirable goods
are in limited supply, and below the de-
mand; many kinds have advanced in con-
sequence. Domestic cottons are less af-
fected than woolens or the foreign goods
market. a good business is doing in prints.
Old styles are selling largely at some reduc
ton, but all new styles are firm and buoy
ant. Sprague's new goods are very active.
Ginghams are in demand, and prices are
firm. Denims are steady. Stripes, cheeks,
and ticks are firm and not in large supply.
Brown and ble6esed, shirtings and sheet
lings are quiet, and very firm in price. Any
| increase of demand would occasion an adj
vance. In woollens the activity is great.
Printed delaines sell readily, but the chief
activity is in fancy cassimeres of desirable
4 styles. Low and medium qualities sell
I mostly, but there'is demand for all kinds
and from all parts--city and country, job
bers and clothiers. Coatings are not so &C.

dull. Doeskins steady. Fannels are
very active, in part for exportatiou.-
The consumption Of shawls is large
and greater than the present SUPPLY
Prices are buoyant-demand lively. For
eign goods are very active, Desirable
goods are not abundant, while the demand
is very great. Plain colored dress styles
are scarce as we'll az fancy ribbons. Me-
Irlnos, delaines, coburgs, orleans, and al
pacas have all advanced Low black silks
are more abundant, but sell readily. Sax

and excite considerable inquiry. All
wooden goods. especially heavy kinds, are
in active demand. Jobbers are large buy

prices. Millinery goods are very active
Ribbons are yet scarce, but supplies are
expected. Late imPortations will come to

ted States for the purpose OF continuing
the war on the South.
The one single fact bears more neaYlly
upon them than anything else conhecteu
with the war; and to escape this now aP-
parent inevitable fate, they express VII
lingness to accedeto any terms which snalt
not hnmiliate and degrade them. they
affirm lin fact they expect, they hope, tney
pray for it) that it is not for them to neg
for peace, but for the President to hold
ont the olive branch; and if the President
we're to issue a proclamation holding their
leaders to a strict accountability for the
rebellion, and offer the people protection
in person and properly, leaving the lnsn-
tuition of slavery to the constitutional I'M
munity of State laws, they will not only
accept it, but will hail the act as magnan-
imous, noble, great. .....
Thus it will be perceived that the great
masses of the Southern people are standing
on point of honor, which to them IS OF
far greater import than defeat in battle,
the loss of strongholds, or the reduction OF
their armies. All this they can bear, but
dishonor they cannot bear, and they hope,
they expect, they pray that the President
will spare them this unspeakable humllla-
ton.

Tho Confederate Loan.

Inc unlucky capitalists WnO1 Oy gong
into the Confederate Loan, have lately
proved the truth of the old proverb about
the facility with which fools part with
their money, appear to meet with very lit
tie sympathy from Independent British
journalists. The London correspondent of
the Belfast Morning Nesos writes as follows:
Ifyour heart is naturally compassion
ate-as am sure it is-you will feel much
pity for certain class of persons here in
London just now. / alludeto those who
have invested their money in the Southern
loan. They do not expect, poor fellows, to
get back shilling of all they have paid
ont. The early Southern victories were so
brilliant, and the Northern leaders gener-
ally proved themselves so miserably in
competent, that the feeling here was that
the South must win and become great
Power. In one week the tide of fortune
has turned against the South. In one week
the South has lost sixty thousand men,
What Power can struggle against such
odds? Lee driven back across the Potomac
in his very, hour Of victory Morgan's army
aapt In. Ohio yicksbnrg tutl Fort
Hudson surrendered, and the Mississippi
made free for all purposesof lcommeree !;
the rear of Charleston possessed by the
treat-such results in one week find no
parallel in the history of ancient and mod.
ern warfare. All seems to indicate that
| the poor Southerners must succumb. But,
then, what about the debt? Who will pay
the Southern liabilities Surely not the
conquering North. The little Jewish gen.
tleman (who is called Sampson probably
because he is not FIVE feet four inches
highly who writes the Times city articles,
must feel considerably embarrassed Just
now, considering how ardently he wrote
up the Southern loan of three millions
sterling.
The same letter writer refers to a PAM
phet lately issued in Londen, saying:
1t is from the pen of a distinguished
American gentleman, the Hon. r. j. Walk
or, formerly Secretary of the Treasury, and
Governor of Kansas. Mr.. Walker is a
lawyer of great reputation, and conse.
quently well qualified to argue an intricate
case. Somebody recently limited that Mr..
Jefferson Davis was the person who first
boldly advocated the "repudiatiou" of the
mississippi bonds" by which English
Slidell, the Southern Commissioned here
al present, was rash enough to deny this,
thereby practically confess:ng that, if JEFF.
ferson Davis had done the thing he was
accused of, he would have been a "bad
body" Mr.. Walker has settled the ques.
ton completely. In his pamphlet he quotes
Mr.. Davis speeches and letters, word fol
! word, and he proves, beyond ali question
that "Jeff was the man who recommend
ed that "repudiation" which robbed Eng
y lish fundholders of SO much money. The
pamphlet has caused an unpleasant sensa-
} ton here /; for our London speculative
: friends cry out furiously, "Why, hang it
have We lent our money again to the very
fellow who did us before ! We shan't gel
a shilling back"

TINE is rapidly exposing the secret his
tory of the secession conspiracy, and the
names of those who were prominent init.
Already, from evidence furnished in the
correspondence of JEFF. Davis, captured by
our soldiers in Mississippi, we have Blu
chanan, Brodhead, Reynolds, Harmon,
Hackley and Treat pilloried as sympathiz-
ing with: the southern cause or engaged in
the plot for the overtorow of the govern
ment The Chicago Tribune published
letter found IN the residence of Joe Davis,
at jackson, which adds another name to
the listof conspirators, namely, that of
David R Atchison, who in 1856 led the
border rufians::in their attack upon Law
renee, where enormities were perpetrated
which the recent sacking of that Inflated
city no more than paralelled. Ten years
ago this man wrote to JEFF. Davis as fol-
lows:
"PLArrE Cry, May 90, 1853.
"Hon. JEFF. Davis: Permit me to intro
duce my friend Judge Samuel Treat, of
St Louis, in this state Judge Treat is a
Gentleman of Talent and politician of
the Qualification Secession and High
Treason School to a0lsich lifelong. He un-
derstands the true position OF parties and
men in this state / desire that you will
receive him with kindness and courtesy,
listen TO him and act as you think best
Yours truly, d. B. ATcHIsoN."
In due time, if we but exercise patience
we shall have, no doubt, other names to
add to the list of northern traitors who
aided in engineering the secession move
ment to maturity; and it would be we'll for
them, if like Yancey and others of their
southern allies, they could die before fl,
nal exposure comes, bringing swift ret
ribution with it
