Rebel AND USIoS FINANcEs.-Whilet the
rebel fiusuces arc confessedly growing worse
and worse ell the time, those Of the Union are
improving. A remarkable illustration Of the
confidence of the people in the Government
is seen in the ssle o, the six per cen: bonds.
OF these there have been subscribed and paid
for witha tho pact seven months, over three
hundred and thirty million dollars. When
first issurd these bonds went begging, Even
the shr,wdest capitalists invested in them
with caution. But go rapid has been the
growth Of public conf lsuce that there is every
prospect that the whole issue OF Eve hundred
millions will be bough, up before the end OF
tie year. Over $l6, ,0OOO we're sold Lac,

where tho "oyc openers" Morgan smashera
