AnxIous for a ForeIrD yv,r-

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The Times
Richmond correspondent says: Not
withstanding the distressed condition
of this section, financially, there is a
general expressed wish that our gov
eminent should become involved in a
foreign war. This wish finds its origin
with a certain class in the heartfelt
longing for an opportunity to wipe out
the disgrace now attached 70 them on ac-
count of the rebellion. There are men
here who held high offices in the Con-
federate army who would willingly en-
ter as privates, under the old flag, in case
of war with France or England. While
hesitating to acknowledge it publicly
a majority of the people of the South
feel the disgrace which attaches itself
to the name of rebel, and bitterly re-
gret their folly in winning for them
selves the name of traitor. To free them
selves from this imputation and to put
themselves again on level with their
Northern brethren they are willing ID
do almost anything.

I mistake not, there has been time when
