TO It's former condition of unity and peace"

PRosPEcr BRrGHTENING.-Mr. Weed, in
the Albany Evening Journal, addresses a
''brief communication to his old friends" in
generalization on what appears to be the
Changed and Frightening aspect Of the coun-
try" "The government is stronger and the
people ready, as heretofore, to stand by it,
Confidence among the masses will impart vigor
to the army. And what is even more essen
tial, this improved feehng-this restored union
among us, will dishearten rebellion. In all
that is material for the prosecution of the war
we are as strong as in the beginning. Our re-
sources are inexaustible. With the States in
rebellion, restitution borders on despair. With
such-success at Vicksbu~g and Charleston as
we are entitled to expect, despair would come
to overwhelm the leaders in rebellion"

A SOUTHERN MONARCHY PRoPosED.-A
correspondent of the Louisville Journal, who
has recently returned from Paris, writes that
ne received from friend intimately connected
with the French Court information to the effect
that seventy -three of the leading men of the
South, including JEFF. Davis, the members of
his cabinet, many Senators, and Gems. -Toombs
and Wise, have sent letter to the Emperor
urging on him a speedy recognition OF the
South. The missive is dated November 2,
1862, and offers the following inducements to
Napoleon:
"lst. That it was the intention of the lead
ers of the South, (Which intention, however,
was to be kept secret until the wer was over:)
so soon as their independence was declared to
establish nobility in the South, before their
army was disbanded. That the poor whites
or non slave owners, who would help them fight
and conquer their independence, so soon as a
nobility is established and they are left free to
act, will erngrate North and leave only the
noble and his slave, constituting the 6rmest no
blllty, because the peasant will be the property
of the noble, while the line of demarcation be-
tween chem will be that of color and race
That their ability so to establish a nobility
cannot be doubtful when is is well known that
the leaders of the South had forced this war
and established the present Confederacy in OPP
position to majority of every State.
I'd. That it is the duty of France, as of
other monarchies, to encourage nobility and to
discourage democracy.
I'd. That in accordance with the above IN
tention they (these seventy -three) designed to
secure Cor had secured, forget which, re-
modelling of their conscript law, so as to ex-
empt and preserve for their future Confederacy
as many slave owners or future mobiles as pos
sible."
The statement in the last paragraph of tie
above is literally true, and it constitutes one
of the chief grounds of the growing popular
hostility to the chiefs of the rebellion.
The CoNFEDERAcY ON THE AFRICAN

Benjamin, the Confederate Secretary of State,
to L. @. C. Lamar, the Confederate Comm s.
sioner at St. Petersburg, has lately come into
the possession of our government. 1t shows
The prudent and significant reserve which the
confederate authorities prescribe to themselves.
in refusing to enter into any engagements with
foreign nations, not to revive the African slave
trade. Mr.. Benjamin says Lamar is vel!
aware how fixed in their constitution is the
policy of the confederation against the OPEN
ing of that trade but We, he remarks, are in
formed that false and ihvidious suggestions
have been made by the United States at Eu-
ropean courts, of their intention TO change
their constitution as soon as peace is retored,
and of authorizing the importation of slaves
from Africa. II, therefore, Mr.. Lamar should
find IN his intercourse with the Russian Cab
net that any such impressions are entertained,
he must use every proper effort to remove

There is no custom more clearly established or

men, than that paper republishing desirable ar
ticles or COMMUNICATIONS, shall give credit for
them to the paper originally publishing the same.
We arc induced to mention this By the fact that in
each Of its last two issues the Independent has
copied communications from'the Journal, claim
ing that it had received them; and attempting
TO convey the impression that they originally
published by that paper. The Toledo Blade copied
the last of these communications, crsditing il to
the Journal, as every genhema" would do--and
on the same principle the Independent didn't credit
it. To make the latter sheet consistent, its name
should be changed--lst it hereafter be known as
