Significant Facts,

The city article of the London Times of
Sept. 6th, notes a rise of three per cent. in the
rebel loan. This rise it says was in conse-
quence Of private kilograms received from
New York respecting "the increasing pros
poets of an armistice," and = that MCCLELLAN
was certain to receive the nomination of the
Chicago Convention"
The nomination of MCCLELLAN gives the
rebellion renewed credit abroad.
The New York correspondent of the Lon
don Times who is in full communion with the
Democratic leaders in that city, aud knows
their views and purposes, writes on the 9th
of August last:
! According to the latest information
| have received from Chicago, the chances of
Gen Mcclellan for the nomination are better
than those of any other candidate. Ha is
. understood to haze explained auag some passages
in recent Speech ,eIich originally conreued the
impression that he acas in taoOr Of aoar for he
emancipation Of slauery, and to have otherwise
made himself more acceptable than formerly
! to that great wing Of the democratic party
whose whole sympathies are with the South. "
The London heder paper established and
edited by the rebels, and their European or
gan, has long article in its issue of Sept.
! 10th, on the probable action of the Chicago
convention and its consequences. 1t says
MCCLELLAN will probably be the nominee, and
that, if elected, the Democrats will probably
attempt to bring back the South by "glving
her all she asks" This, it says, will be idle.
The South will accept no armistice without
the raising of the blockade, nothing less than
| independence. ...
HENRY S. FooTE, member of the Rebel
Congress publishes long letter in the Rich
mond Wing of the 9Th inst. on the subject of
the Chicago platform and nominations He
regards the platform as an "out and out peace
platform" He says: "Though the most
earnest desire is expressed for the restora-
ton of the Union by peaceaJle means, there is
not the least hat of ntaaded c0nStraint of a,ay
kind rhateoer." OF the proposition for a
convention Of States, he says: 'This ought
not at all to alarm US no coercjye instrument
tatit5es are to be TeSorted to to compel US to a
reunion. < y In relation to the dan

Mr.. FoorE after expressing his confidence
in the election of MCCLELLAN, closes his letter

such Of the Northern States as are carried
for the Democratic ticket will secede and
"seek alliance with the Confederate States
