REBEL CONFIDENCE.

The Richmond Dipiteh labors to explain th,
universal despondency and lack OF faith in Re.
bel success which has 30 arrested the attention
Of The [London1 Times partial Richmond COR
respondent The Dspdteh frankly 'owns up
despOndency is prevalent in Richmond but that
is because all the gallant souls are in the armies
leaving feeble old men, call ow boys and all man
ner Of sneaks and towards, to make up the local
public opinion Of the Rebel metropolis. Hence
you see, SO &c.
Now-not to insist here on the incossant and
enormous desertous from the Rebel ranks-so
numerous that some f0rcely Rebel papers have
estimated that there are as many oonscripts out
OF their armies (by actual or constructive deser-
tlon) as in them-we ask attention to certain
vital, notorious facts.
The present Rebel Cogress met in Richmond
nearly three months ago. Mr.. Memminger,
their Secretary of the Treasury, met it with as
frank and dreary an expose as ever Finance Min
lister presented. Briefly they were in debt
about thousand millions of dollars, mainly rep
resented by Treasury Notes, which were SO
enormously abundant as to have little or no
remaining value. The Confederacy had nearly
reached the point at which its promises to pay
would not be worth the cost Of the paper where.
on they were printed so that creditor will
soon say to his debtor who offers him a fifty or
hundred dollar Treasury Note in payment of
his bill-'l'll take il white, IL you please. -
Mr. Memminger made clean job oft, facing
ruin with the courage Of despair, and saying in
80 many words, 'GeDtemen Of Congress YOU
must either restore your currency or succumb.'
THAT last is tough word to speak under such
circumstances but it is Mr.. Memminger's-
not ours
Hereupon, Mr.. NJ. submitted a practicable
mot feasible, for nothing is easyin such plight
as ihelrs)-plan OF currency renovation.
suppose the present amount Of Confederate
treasury Notes afioat to be no more than sir
Hundred Millions. That amount is utterly de-.
struStiVe Of the usefulness Of such notes a our.
reney. They have no market value, not neees-
sarily because they are deemed worthless; hui
because they are enormously in excess, while
everything 10 eat, drink or wear is deficient.

A Pillar OF FIRE.

In an English book entitled "Mrs. Elwood's
Travels in Egypt" published some twenty-five
years ago, we met with the following:--
"At Cossier very singular natural phenome.
Hon is described. Our residence was at a stones
throw from the sea. Conceive my astonshmept
and surprise on repairing thther to gaze on the
beauty Of the wave and to watch the sun, which
was just emerging from the bosom of the water.
to see the latter, instead of rising in it's usual
circular form, assume that of pillar of fire. |
doubted the evidence Of my senses. and should
hardly hope to be believed, but then find the
ancients aud Agathorohides in particular, have
mentioned the same phenomenon on these coasts
where they observe, 1.-The sun rises like pillar
of fire."
Lord Valenta also noticed a similar ap-
pearance at Mocha, where he saw it set in like
manner. We subsequently saw it assume an
elongated but never again so completely column
mar figure. We could not but think Of the nj /
lar Of FIRE which forty years gave light to the Is
raelites in the wilderness. The color of the Red
Sea here was of the most exquisite blue of the
Mediterean. The breakers had q peculiar vivid
and lively whiteness, which, by contrast, added
greatly to the beauty of the azure main but
though could have gazei for hours, it was too
dazzling to permit me to do SO with impunity."
