The Confederate Cotton Loan.

The following note, calling the attention
to the value of the Confederate cotton loan,
is sent to the editor Of the London News,
Sept. %: .fa aa - Li'ei ~.
On the part OF the committee, beg leave
to say that they have the greatest confidence
in the Confederate promises to pay, provided
they were permitted to do so, and they have
the confidence, not only on the information
they receive from the South but likewise ON
the testimony given by General Robert Z.
Lee before the reconstruction committee APP
pointed by Congress. trust sir, your sense
of justice and fair play win induce you to
publish this testimony. may further add
that no such political blunder was ever COM
mitted by any statesman who had the resto-
ration of the Union at heart, as compelling
the South TO repudiate their debts, and
especially this paltry foreign debt of f2 ,4"O,
900, for which cotton was bypothecated. The
result has been to retard the return Of pros
pcrity to the South, and to annihilate their
credit in Europe. They required and still
require money for the cultivation of their
estates to enable them to grow more cotton,
tobacco, sugar, and to repair their railways.
They offered any terms, but that fatal word
reputation, although forced upon them, has
been the stumbling block to their Obtaining
a shilling. The committee believe that this
fatal word, so far as the cotton loan Is con-
cerned, is destined to be blotted out and
then the money markets of Europe will he
again open for the promotion Of Southern
enterprise, and renewed era of prosperity
will dawn. On behalf of the committee.

SOME of our exchanges are deplo-
ring the decentralization that followed
the war. The picture is not pleasing
in whatever light we may view it; but
We doubt the broad assumption, thai
the war is responsible, any farther
than it served to develope that which
existed before. We are unwilling to
admit that virtue could be crushed
by revolution that ought to have
brought it out in clearer and strong
err colors. The truer theory is, that
there were thousands ofrascals, before
the war, who hid their real characters
under the cloak Of virtue, but could
not resist the temptations, held out
by the war, to crafty their evil pas.
sions. These original rascals have
been counted as so many new recruits
for the devils army when, in truth,
they had been in his regular service,
all their lives. We should not en-
courage the belief that genuine vir.
tue needs only the opportunity to de-
generate into vice. Such teachings
are more demoralizing than war.

The Eastern Question.

The following extract from the Vienna
Press will explain what is thought there OF
the American Russian alliance. The Press
says a correspondent writes that the cabinet
of the Tuileries is doing all in its power to
prevent the American republic from obtain
ing foot-hold in the Mediterranean by the
purchase of an island in the Greciau Archi-
pelago. 1t is necessary for France to prevent
the United States, who so strikingly hindered
Napoleon from meddling in the trans-Atlau
tic affairs, from themselves meddling in the
oriental question. In this matter English
interests agree with those of France. 1t Is
for this reason, it is said, that England offer
ed to lend financial aid to the Sultan on con-
dition of his resisting the brilliant offer made
by the Cabinet of Washington for the cession
of a part of the Island of Miles. But Rus
sian interests are Numerically. opposed TO
those Of the Eastern pow ers. 1t is neces-
sary and sound policy on her part to form Of
the United States an interested ally in the
question which is about to come in the East.
1t is well known at st. Petersburg that the
American Republic, it it succeeds in obtain
ing firm hold on some part Of the Mediter-
ranean, has no intention of taking any share
of the spoils in the event of Turkey being
divided. rr.. - 7Ia a7I
Her intentions are to prevent France from
acquiring any benefit, now or in future, from
the catastrophe that might follow the break
ing up Of the Turkish Government and
country, and, as far as England is concerned,
to act in such a manner that her power in
the Indies will be broken. These are also
the two objects which Russia has in view.

that he will recommend the ratifica.
ton of the amendments as neccssu

not believe it, because the President
is too fully committed against the
constitutionality of the act submit
ting the amendments, and because
such radical changes are subverting
the government instead Of restoring
the Union. Besides, the President
must be aware that the slightest sign
