Glorying in their ,,Lame.

The Mississippi converts from rebel
lion do not seem to have brought forth
many "frnits meet for repentance" nor
do their utterahces give much token of
q change Of heart The Vicksburg
Journal says: tR
Fanatics may apply the term treason
to our late action, but the verdict of the
world to day and of generations yet to
come is and will be, that the Southern
people have developed the highest at
tributes of manhood, patriotism and
virtue. Are we standing as we are
amid the wrecks of our household gods,
with our land gloomy with graves, to
say to the North and to the world, 10 we
have sinned, and have been traitors to
our country and our God2 Mol The
man in whose veins runs one honest
drop of blood will never advocate the
expediency of such sacrifice. Better
thai our land should forever remain the
"Niobe of Nations" her children home
less and exiles, than thus consign ber-
self to eternal degradation and shame.
Judging from the Vicksburg Journal
the Mississippians sre "a stif.necked
and rebellious generation;" a set Of
prodigals who would eat husks with the
swine to the end Of their miserable days
rather than say, "Fathsr, I have sinned
against heaven, and before thee" and
and thus obtain portion of the fatted
calf.
/ But this is just what they must say
and shall say--"to the North and to the
world" lol we have sinned, and hare

God. Is il not true7 We the conquer
ing party say it is, and we further say
and require that they must also acknowl-
edge it, before they can get back to
where they started from. A beautiful
idea, indeed, that they have not sinned,
nor been traitorsl-Ipd Gazette.

R6~ A band of armed men, says the
Louisville Democrat, numbering near
dozen, have been prowling around the
edge of Dayiess county, KY, during the
past week. Yelgington has been visited
by them, but az far as we can learn they
have done no hurt to any one in person
or property. Their intention Is not
lawful, we are fully persuaded. They
had better make themselves very scarce
if they have any regard for their health,
or desire to die a natural death. They
were commended by one King White,
who gained some notoriety as g guer-
rilla IN that section last winter.

The Richmond Times insists that 1--WE
must adopt plan for bringing in smi-
grafton generally, for it is quite evident
that the negroes do not mean to work
Some other labor must therefore be
procured, and that at very short notice,
or this country, the noblest the sun
shines upon, will become a wilderness
like Jamaica" We have not heard of
any negro refusing to work Most
certainly there are ten white men fed by
the Government as paupers for one
negro. The difficulty of the Times is not
that the negro refuses to work, but that
he will not work for the white man. Nor
do we blame him. Let the white man
work for himself The negro will not
bother him.
The allusion of Jamaica gives us an
idea Of Southern argument. That island
is in great part controlled by negro
labor, and instead of beinx-a "wilder-
ness" has more wealth, more real happi-
ness and prosperity, a greater number of
small, well.tilled farms and comfortable
homes, and more generally diversified
intelligence than proud Virginia with
her chivalry and her tournaments. Of
Jamaica we shall speak again. Before
the war it was said that Virginian
would, any day, rather fight than work
The war has cured their fighting pro-
pensities, but has, certainly, not mprov-
ed their working powers.-N. Y. Tribune.

D6~ BY the steamer City of London,
which arrived at New York on Monday,
we have European news to November 9.
The most important item of intelligence
is the arrival of the rebel pirate, Shen-
andoah, at Liverpool. The Captain
claims that the first knowledge he had
of the conclusion of the war was gained
from a British vessel, on the Both of Au-
gust. He says he then put his guns in
the hold and cleared for Liverpool 1t
will be renem bered, however, that he
was acquainted with the tact, long be-
fore the above mentioned date, by the
Captains of some of the whalers he de-
stroyed, but affected to disbelisve the
story.
The Shenandoah has been taken in
possession BY the British authorities,
and the captain and crew paroled. The
British papers express sorrow at the
arrival of the vessel, fearing that it may
be the source of new complications,
though they admit that it must be given
up to II Government, and that perhaps
the captain may Nbe tried for piracy,
Earl Russell has been declared Prime
Minister, and the Earl of Clarendon
Minister of Foreign Affairs. The chol
era is abating in Paris.

In financial circles there is more spirit and
confidence than Tor some time past. Stocks
are decidedly active, and prices generally
higher. There is an impression that prices
have declined unduly during the last panic,
and consequently disposition to buy at an
advance. -. :.
Operators, who have been selling short for
some time past, fnd it difficult to make their
deliveries, owing to the scarcity of cash stock,
and are, in some cases, losing heavily on their
contracts.
The strong feeling throughout the market is
very marked, and there is more inclination to
operate for raise than has been apparent for
several weeks.
Governments are again quite active and
muchlfrmer; under a continuous large demand
from the interior.
The brilliant successes Of Grant produced
decided improvement OF confidence in the pub.
lie credi t; and the prospect appears to favor
continued large demand for bonds. Skies of
1881 rose to 1X, and Five.twenties ~. Ten
torties were stationary
The abundance of money increases, and
though the demand is more active the rate has
settled down to per cent. on call loans.
Discounts are quiet The extreme rates are
SAILS per cent.
Gold opened at 49, but sold mp to 15Ox, on
the strength OF the understanding that Secre-
tary McCulloch proposes selling the Savannah
cotton tor gold. There is very little specula-
tive movement, and cash gold continues scarce.
