Political Interests and Political
Necessity.

On the 18th of November, 1862, two
weeks after the election of Governor Sey-
mour, Lord Lyons officially communicated
to Earl Russell his views and facts in his
possession concerning the situation in the
United States. Mark this extract:
[From Lord Lyons Dispatch to Earl Russell.I
'THE POLITICAL INTERESTS OF
THE PARTY NOW IN POWER REM
DER A CONTINUANCE OF THE WAR
A NECESSITY TO 1T. / have, indeed,
heard it maintained that Great Britain should
recognise the Independence Of the South as soon
as possible, WITH A VIEW TO IMPEDE
THE SUCCESS OF THE EFFORTS OF
THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY 10 RE-
CONSTRUCT THE UNION"
Lord Lyons uttered the simple truth-a
truth as strong to-day as two years ago-in
the quotation from his official dispatch CIV
en- above. The war is a necessity" to the
maintenance OF the Republican party in
power: for who so foolish as to suppose, the
war ended and the Union again existing in
its integrity, that that party could maintain
its ascendency in the nation for single day
after the passing of Judgment by the whole
people?
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1864-10-31
The Wool Trade.

The reports from the east imply that the
wool market is gathering strength, though
there is rs yet but little sold. Lots that at
the present rates find their way into market
are mostly those held by weak-kneed specu-
lators who must realize or go by the board.
The Economist of Saturday last remarks OF
the New York market that the idea of
talking wool down 20c per ID, when no one
had been willing to buy it, vanished as soon
as the manufacturers showed disposition to
replenish their stocks, and fine leeces held
this day week at 90c. are now held at $l.00
per tb. A manufacturer who has been
through the market, has informed us that
he could not buy the 90c. fine woods short
of $1.05 to any extent, and we suspected as
much all along. 1t is the same with cotton.
1t is quoted at 20 or 30 cents below its value,
as q bait to invite purchases, but those
purchases cannot be affected only in a
'peddling manner Assoon as manufacture
ers of wool or cotton appear in market for
supplies, prices will Instantly advance. Most
of the wooden mills in many places are still
almost idle for want of water. It's true the
streams have risen slowly, but the resor-
voirs are still empty, and it will require
considerable rain to fill them and set the
mills in full motion. But, as the demand
for goods has improved and reaction has
set In, some manufacturers are dlSpoSed 10
take hold of any cheap lots offering. Hold
ers, however, have advanced their prices
fully ten per cent, and the tendency is still
upwards. Few, if any, really desirable
parcels of Ohio can be had under 95c-one
dollar being generally asked. Considerable
sales are reported among outside parties,
and the number of struggling lots now
afloat are few" -.. H.. ...
In Boston the Ploughman reports the mar
ket for the week ending the 19th-before
it had felt the new life which is by degrees
finding its way through the veins Of trade
as dull and depressed. The sales of the
week have been 10000 lbs. fleece and pull

choice Pennsylvania at SIC, but mostly good

A FEMALE GUERRLLA.-The Louisville
Journal says: One of the peculiarities Of
Berry's band of cut-throats is the officer
second in command, recognized by the men
as Lieutenant Flowers. The officer in ques-
tion is young woman, and her right name
is Sue Munday. She dresses in male attire,
generally sporting full Confederate uni
form. Upon her head she wears jaunty
plumed hat, beneath which escapes a wealth
of dark brown hair, falling around and
down her shoulders in luxuriant curls.-
She is. possessed of comely form, has a
dark, piercing eye, is bold rider, and a
daring leader. Prior to connecting herself
with Berry's gang of outlaws, she was asso-
ciated with the band commanded by the
notorious scoundrel, Captain Alexander,
who met his doom-a tragic death-a short
time ago in Southern Kentucky.

SOME weeks ago, a worthy family in De-

circle in the shape of twins, both boys. /, A
day or two ago the youngsters were bap-
tized, and received the respective names
George Henry and James William. In or
der to tell one from the other, both being
dressed precisely alike, blue ribbon was
tied around the arm OF the former, but a
stupid servant girl, after the fond parents
had returned home, removed the mark, and
now they are unable to tell "which from
which," 3o --msfi b33E
