B@r The Richmond Examiner paints
the financial condition of the Confeder-
acy in very gloomy colors 1t says that
in few days the question of the reputa-
ton or redemption of the present cur
reney will be definitely settled. 1t hopes
that reputation will find no advocates in
Congress, but it nevertheless has its ad-
vocates-" advocates fed by selfinterest
or retained by despair" 1t says the lev
ity with which reputation has been
regarded in too many sessions and too
giving way TO certain fearfuI-Iooking

BILE restoration of the currency to a
healthy one The more experienced
gamblers are beginning to hedge, and as
soon as this becomes fully evident, the
amateurs, who have merely followed the
lead Of shrewder operators, will hasten
to initiate the example OF their file lead
ers The line once broken, the retreat
will be rout The prospect is not pleas
ant to those who are interested, however
serene may be the contemplation of the
lookers-on. 1t warns its readers that il
the present currency is discredited either
by a speedy or gradual course of extinc
ton, the Government, the source of the
currency, will be equally discredited, and
the new issues will depreciate with a ra
pidity TO which geometrical progression

Too much praise cannot be bestowed
upon Mr., Allen pilot of the Won Phul,
who first saw the Captain fall dead at
his feet Then the clothes of the bar
keeper of the latter almost touched his
own when he was hit; yet, amid this ac-
emulation Of horrors, knowing that all
on board depended upon him, stood firm
at his post, not knowing how soon they
might reach him. By doing so, he saw
ed hundreds frcm death or captivity.
Not until several seconds firing, were
ladies taken on board the Neosho. 1t
was feared the rebels might open fire
again near Red River. They did not
see fit to do SO. Thisisthe first time the

her officers were congratulating them

moments before the attack took place.

captain will be severely felt in CONNER

SapOiecn's Letter to queen Victoria.

MADAM, by Sister: In the face c.
the events which daily arise and pres.
+ themselves on attention, J deem it indis
pensable to impart my whole thought tc
/ the sovereigns to whom the destiny ot
nations is confded.
/ son ali occasions, when great convul
sions have shaken the foundations and
deranged the limits of States, solemn
compacts have followed to reduce to or.
der the new elements, and to recognize,
while revising them, the changes that
have been effected
Such was the object of the Treatie
of Westphalia, in the seventeenth GER
tury, and of the Negotiations of Vienna
in 1915. 1t is on this last foundation
that the political edifce of Europe now
rests; and, nevertheless, your Majesty is
not ignorant, it is crumbling to pieces
on all sides.
"lt one considers attentively the sit
uation Of the different countries. it is
impossible not to admit that on almost
all points the treaties of Vienna are de-
stroyed, modified, disregarded or menac-
ed. Hence there are duties without rule,
rights without title, pretentions without
restraint-a peril the more formidable
since the improvements produced by civ
ilization, which has united people togeth-
er by an identity of material interest,
would reder war still more destructive.
This is matter for serious refec-
ton. Let US not delay taking a decision
until sudden and irresistible events dis
turb our judgement and draw US in spite
of ourselves in opposite directions. L
now, therefore, propose to your Majesty
to regulate the present and secure the
future by means of a Congress.
Summoned to the throne by Provi-
dence and the viii of the French people,
but brought up in the school of adversi-
ty, it is perhaps less allowable for me.
than for others to insure the rights OF
sovereigns and the legitimate aspira-
tions of peoples. Thus [ am ready,
without any precoaceived system to
bring to an international council spirit
of moderation and justice the ordinary
portion of those who have undergone so
many different trials
