arrangements for national Gouveatiou at

SOUTHERN lrENs.-Ths funding of the
Confederate deot goes on prOsperously.
Up TO the sth, over two hundred millions
had been funded. The process is an e1-
change of Confederate notes, now nearly
worthless, tor bonds that will be worth
something at some future time If the rebel
experiment shall succeed. 1t is merely a
choice of evils, and indicates nothing as to
popular confidence in tue prospects of the
CoutederAsy. That no real improvement
is accomplished in the rebel fuauces is
proved by the fact that prices for all sorts
of merchandise still remain NJ high figures
