over to General Dix Captain Reed and

A GRAND CoHaREss OF NATloSs.--
Europe, alarmed at the strength of the
reunited States, would be only too glad
TO accept President Johnson invitation
to an international congress. The Mexi-
can question, the Canada question, The
italian question, the Polish question, the
Pope Of Rome question, and all the
questions which vex both continents
could be settled in that congress without
any trouble. Let President Johnson
make the proposition.
MEXICAN EMleRATIoN.--The French
organ in this city makes. q great deal of
fuss about the proposed emigration of our
soldiers to Mexico. But tits difficult to
see what our government has to do with
it, since americans have the right to
emigrate when and where they like. 1t
Is still more difficult to see how France
can object to it, until such little matters
as the re6ttmg and recruiting of rebel
pirates are explained away.
BANKRUPT REBELs.-AN the leading
rebel generals are bankrupt. Union
officers are lending them mouey to get
home. Kirby Smith, who thought
of cotton than of the confederacy. is
almost the only one of them who has
any means. AS for jeff. Davis, he and
his specie are in danger of capture.
Loyalty is the best policy, even In o
business point Of view. Aa "
The CoNDIrIoN OF THE SouTHrRN
PEoPLE.-Read our dispatches from day
to day giving accounts Of what our army
correspondents see ofthe Southern people.
The government may obtain many
valuable hints from these letters. They
show that the South has been crushed
by military despotism; that the hearts
OF the people were never enlisted in this
war, and that the Southerners will
avenge themselves upon the leaders of
the rebellion if they are allowed the
privilege. ~
JEFF. DAVIS TRAppED.--Ou last
advlces leave jeff. Davis at Washington
Georgia surrounded by Stoneman's
cavalry. We hope that the one hundred
thousand dollars reward will have to be
divided among Stoneman's men. s3
KEooNsrRUcTIoN. There viii be no
d,iiiculty about reconstructing the Union.
The Southern, people are ali anxious to
come back. Southern merchants are
already arriving here to pay off their old
debts Throw open the South to trade,
and commerce will do the rest.
An order has been issued by the War
department for the Immediate discharge
OF all imprisoned rebel soldiers not above
