RECOGNITION.

II ws are not misinformed. ii will in due
time DO suffered TO transpiro that we weTo saved
from formal European recognition of the
Southern Confedcracy by the timely issue Of
President Linoolns initial Proclamation OF
Freedom. At the close Of McClellan's PENN
sular campaign, the Governments OF France
and England professed to have become satisfied
that the independence Of tho Confcderacy was
o fixed fact. and wero concerting measures Tor
according an early admission Of the new power
into tho family Of nations. We believo, but
aro not sure, that our Government was cont-
dentally spprised Of this determination 80 early
o. September. II 10. in August, 1862, and that
the more conservative members Of the Cabinet,
if not impelled 10 advise, were fully reooncilcd
TO the Issue Of tho aforesaid Proclamation by
their knowledge Of that purpose. That issue
COVE pause TO the Maritime Powers and when
it had been followed BY the Proclamation Of
Jan. lst, 1868. it was found that the public
opinion Of the more intelligent middle class
throughout Western Europe would DO shocked
by q recognition which would be virtual alli-
auco with the Slave Power. The Confederate
ENJOYS were confdcntially eppnaed of the
serious obstacle which had been interPosed to q
compliance with their desires, and advised to
promote i.g removal through some form OF
Emancipation; but they did motor rather,
could not-achieye what was desired so matters
went on a5 We have seen.
These items OF hitherto unpublished history
derive q present consequence from the proba-
bility that the Rebel authorities are about to
decree some sort Of Emancipation, in the hope
of thus retrieving their bankrupt fortunes.
Should thoy do 80 satisfactorily. and thOrcuPcn
be favored with any CLEAN of military success,
we may look for indications from Europe Of an
unequiyocal desire that they should achieve
their independence.

FRANCE.

II Is understood in financial circles tina. the
Secretary of the Treasury, upon full consider
alton, has decided to meet his immediate neces-
sites BIZ the issue of One Hundred Millions adj
ditional Of lO-4O bonds (paying FIVE per cent.
interest in gold) rather than issue . like amount
drawing 100 Tor higher interest in greenbacks.
Assuming this to be correct, we congratulate the
country on Mr.. Fessenden's faith, wisdom and
forecast. His choice to issue specie bonds at
lower rather than greenback bonds at much
higher rate Of interest indicates bis confidence
that the Rebellion will soon DO overthrown and
peace restored to our country, and that we shall
thcreupon be able, by vigorous effort, to resume
Specie Payment or at least appreciate our Cur
rency very nearly to par. If such DO the pros
pect-and we firmly believe it is-why should
VIC offer 20 pay Z to 8 per cent. interest In Cur
rcncy rather than per cent. in coin, if currency
and Coin are soon to 10 nearly or absolutely on
q par'
We pray Mr. Fes5cnden to have courage. The
interests that require differentiation and abase-
mont Of our Currency are potent and olamorous,
but those which would DO promoted by returnto
solvency at tho earliest moment, though loss
noisy, are not jess positive, and are far more
broadly based The spectators in Pork, GRAIN
Butter, Coal, and oil the necessaries + life,
want AL easy money market, an inflated Cur
rency, and Specie Payment put c'car ont OF
sight; but the, great body of the People as well
as tho Government, hayo interests directly ad-
verse to theirs. If We could sell enough
1O-40s to pay of tie floating debt, put the
Treasury in funds for six months. and bring the
premium on Gold down TO % or 80, we should
save at the rate Of One Hundred Millions per
annum on the cost Of the War. and might well
afford to pay half 50 much as premiumso on loans.
We pray the Secretary to make the Currency as
sound as may be, and to keep his eye fixed on o
return to Specie Payment directly on the heel
Of Peace.
