sensation yesterday among the financial
and commercial men. A large parry as

TIE CAPTURED COTTON.
The reported capture of cotton at Sa-
vannah has caused q considerable fall in
the market, and is the snbiect of much
comment. One of the morning papers
suggests that it be presented to Sherman's
army, to be divided similar to prize money
in the navy. Another thinks that if the
same policy is pursued as at Memphis and
Vicksburg the Government will get very
little of it. Another suggests that The
Government ship the cotton to Europe and
sell it for gold to replenish the treasury.
| A report is in circulation that much of
the Savannah cotton is owned on English
and French account.
RELIEF FOR OUR PRISONERS
The subject of relief for our prisoner is
agitated in a long editorial in the Times.
It insists upon the acceptance of the rebel
proposition to exchange man for man, until
our white soldiers are released. The
large excess in our hands will leave
ample surplus for anyscheme of retaliation
the Government may entertain respecting
negro soldiers. The writer thinks there Is
too much humanity in the world to render
wholesale retaliation upon all rebel pris-
oners feasible.
The World thinks editorislly that it is
desirable for our Government to offer, dur
ing the present military successes terms OF
peace to the rebels on basis Of unreserv.
ed submission to the Constitution. Itsayl
the offer will probably be rejected by the
rebel leaders, but would be favored by the
people of the South and cause trouble and
dissension.

received that the people are still fighting
earnestly TO drive out the Spanisrds anC
regain their nationality.
