a correspondent of The Rebel states on
the authority of Mr.. Trenholm, that the 50
gregate d=bt of the Confederate Government,
including its bonds and notes, is, in round
numbers, one billion and ahalf; or ct the ratio
of twenty for one, $4,000 in gold. The
bonds arc interest bearing property, and ere
safe investments 50 long as the Government
can pay the interest on them. Serenity FIVE
millions of dollars in gola therefore, has been
the entire expenditure OF the Government
since its Inauguration. But few of the peo
pie are aware Of lie fact that in l5uT years Of
independence anieypcnsye war, the South
err. States lave expended only about enc
third more on themselves, tia" they previous
ly annually aai,l is,o the Uni;edS'a;es Treas

This trip may be said TO comprise The three
calmest, aissst and most conservative intel

while there will be 10 lowering Of the pride
of the land, no impulslvc obstacles will be
thrown in the way of an honorable adjust

The very fact Of President Lincoln's hav-
ing agreed to receive them rs Commissioners
is clearly vast concession on the part Of the
North, ,eyincing return OF reason which prom
ises well for the future.
It's believed that President Davis las
written an autographic letter to Mr.. Lincoln,
in which the Southern argument is delivered.
1t is very certain that there is no submission

At all events, there is 10 be a conference,
