emig1ated from Spain to Venice more than q
century ago; the family name was Lara. Its
head, at that time, was wealthy merchant,
who, like shylock, had Tast things "on the
Rialto." In Venice, ut that time, there was
greater tolerance Of religious opinion than in
any other part oEsouthern Europe No one
ever heard Of an anto-daJe in Venice Lara

ally appeared as Christian; he had conform
ed to that fifth soon after quitting Spain,
but, proud Of his ancient lineage, assumed

THE COTTON LOAN,

The rebel loan Of fifteen millions made
q good deal Of noise in Europe while
ago, but of late we hear nothing about it
At the last accounts it had gone down TO
somewhere below thirty cents upon the
dollar; the news Of the Chattanooga battle
sending it down about twenty cents. 1t is
probably not much in demand at present,
and will 60 out Of sight in Europe. 1t is
hoped, however, that the United States
will be profted somewhat by the cotton
which the advance Of our troops maybring
within our lines.
1t is not too late to call attention to Mr..
Manmingers account of its condition.,
~ The purchases of cotton mnde under the
at Of April 80, 1868, amount to S99, s53 bales,
at the date Of the reports last received, at
cost Of 8S0, ,314 ,7G0. The Average price paid
was 1855 cents per pound, exclusive Of sea
island cetton-tAe lowest price being 6Hc,
and the highest 3618c, and five-sixths Of the,
entire purchase money has been paid IN
bonds. The difficulty Of procuring reports
in detail from the agents In Louisiana, Missls-
precise return Of the cotton which has been
destroyed; but from the estimates made by
each Of them, it may be assumed that the
entire loss is not more than s., 900 bales. TO
this must be added several Thousand bales
used for military and naval defenses; and also
eeveral thousands more turned over to the
Ordnance and Quartermaster's departments
to fulfill contracts for supplies, md also for
shipments made by the Treasury Depart
nent, Tic whole Of these deductions may
be sct down at 4, 302 bales, leaving on hand
IN aggregate Of about :se9, 500 bales. OF this
houses in cities, and the remainder In cotton
houses on the plantations where they have
beenpurchased.''
Itwould be gratifying to know how
reliable these statements are, IS regards
the cotton in the States Of Mississippi,
Louisiana, Akansaaan Tcxaa. If but a
small proportion Of it is destroyed, where
: is the balance7 Mr. Memminger is writ
ing for Europe, and feels it desirable to tell
i: as good a story as possible. We may be-
lieve as much of his statement Is we are
able.
The time which has elapsed since much OF
this cotton was purchased has damaged the
rope and baEging Of q portion thereof; and
the mid Of Congress is asked In procuring the
: means ofzeneWing it. I had hoped that the
skill OF our people would discover substi-
offer Of reward for Che best plan would pro-
duce beneficial results. If resort must be
had to foreign supplies, the plan, which may
be adopted to ship the cotton, will furnish
the means Of importing the rope aud the bag
ging, and, In either view, 1t will be necessary
to make mn appropriation to cover tho e1-
pense-
The cotton interest bonds will naturally
fill within the management of this division
Of the Treasury Department, and it Is pro
posed that they shall take that course. It il
not clear what was the design Of Congress In

DEAR sm-Dr. Kennedy, bearer Of this, has

there could be no possible object in such an
election. We do not particularly need mem-
hers Of Congress from there to enable us to

we do want is the conclusive evidence that
respectable citizens Of Louisiana are willing
10 be members Of Congress and swear sup
port to the Constitution, and that other res
pectahle citiZena there are willing to vote for
them and send them. To send q parcel Of
Northern men here, as representatives, elect

1t should be borne In mind that these pro-
ducts represent in figures even in estimation
in sterling money faf greater values than the
same articles would in former times. Cotton,
which commanded an average Of eight cents
pound or forty dollars in bale now COM
mands rs readily two hundred and fifty.
Sugar, which represented Falue Of six centa,
now represents sixteen, and so Of other pro-
ducts. It will be observed that the tobacco
crop, which usually found shipment By way
of New Orleans, now reaches the Atlantic
from Kentucky, Tennessee snd Missouri by
the rail routes. It should also be rcckoned
that since the compilation Of these statistics,
then the full freedom Of the river had not be-
gan to be felt Since that time the receipts Of
cotton have been from s, 600 bales per month
to 1000 bales, In the month Of November.
So soon as the high waters Of February shall
raise the important tributaries, the Red, the
Arkansas, the Onachita and Yazoo,
lurge quantities Of cotton already baled and
hidden in cane brakes, OF abandoned by the
Confederate Government its nominal owner,
will no doubt be brought to market Such
an instructive knowledge is there Of the
blessings Of our rule, that along the borders
of all navigable streams all the cotton is be-
ing concealed from the rebels for our arrival,
and one Of the main purposes Of the rebel
cavalry in Mississippi and Arkansasfs to burn
this cotton, which they feel certain is to fall

Safety from guerilas Is the first considera-
tion in such enterprises, aud it Is proposed
by the Government 10 redeem such stracts as
arc naturally defensible by bayons, streams
and swamps, and plant such colonies, and
with the aid of the colonista themselves, keep
them free from guerillas. There arc many
localities where this may be easily done.
About hundred and sixty Of these plan a
tions have been leased up to the 10th Of De-
cember, and it Is expected that three hun
dred will be In successful operation before
tile middle of May-thc time when the cotton
should be planted to be profitable.
The experience Of tile forty plantations
worked last year above Milliken's Bend, Was
various on account of the raid. Six made
handsome profit, eix lost nearly all they In
vested, and the balance all the way between
these extremes. All, however, release for the
coming year.
