The city article Of the London Times of
Sept. sth, notes rise of three per cent. in the
rebel loan This rise it says was in eonse-
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" 50
The nominations Of McCLELLAS gives the
rebellion renewed Credit abroad
The New Yorkeorrespondent 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. He IS
understood to hare explained array. some passages
la a recent speech ic1IieH. originally coageyed the
impression that he 1cas IN favor of acar for the
emancipation of Sldoery, 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 L.der, a paper established and
edited by the rebels, and their European or
gam has a 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 armistics without
the raising of the blockade, nothing less than
Independence. IN 81 r rs tGa g
HENRY S. FooTE, member of the Rebel
Congress publishes long. letter in the Rich
mond Wig of the 5th 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 peaceable means, there is
not tie least hat of intended conStraat of any
Kind phateer." OF the proposition for a
convention of States, he says: "This ought
not at all to alarm US (; no eoercive n,straa1le1-
reunion In relation to the dan
ger of our people being seduced by the con-
ventional expedient into Reconstruction I'M
der the Federal Constitution, those acho fear

he says: "MoCLELLASs general availability
as a candidate is undoubted; his willingness to

head of aehiet he might be placed"
Mr.. FooTE after expressing his confidence
in the election of MCCLELLAN, closes his letter
by predicting that if he should be beaten,
such Of the Northern States as are carried
for the Democratic ticket will secede and
"seek alliance with the Confederate States.o
