quite as valuable as any in the field. When Gen.
Grant was arranging his lines around Petersburg,
Mr.. Jay Cooke began the sale of the last $780, OOO
600 of the 7.30 loan. Upon the successful negota-
ton of this loan depended the results Of the war.
The success was sublime. The first week in May
saw o subscription Of $i0,3S7, 900. Mays, over
$l5 900 900 were subscribed; the next day the list
reached $i7 ,OOO, 900. On May 49, memorable as tho
day when the last gun was fred in the Rebellion,)
over SO, 100000 were subscribed, making nearly
900, 600, 600 In four days. Successes Like these,
creditabe to the genius that planned them and the
national enthusiasm that carried them through
justified the remark Of Mr.. Or Of South Carolina
that the South ives defeated in the treasury before
it was defeated in the field.
In foreign lands peace has reigned. Poor Schles-

Denmark only TO be deyoured by Prussia. The
heir of tho forlofn Prince Of Augusten-
berg, warned out Of his kingdom by
the police, goes TO London to marry one

the breaking out of local Instructions. The Italian

Napoleon having given the Pope notice of his in
tention Ito quit the willy father Of the faithful,

The arrangement Of the Emperor and his radica

strengthened the Empire instead of weakening IT.
II is a good thing 70 have member of the family

The dissolution Of Parliament has strengthened
The Liberal party by giving many of the boldest

The death OF Palmerston clears the decks, in sense
for fair ht. and We may expect great excite

| Returning TO the American continent, we find
Mexico in the hands of Napoleon, as represented
by on amiable young Archduke named Macmillan
aud an Emperor "a number Of unrecons.ructed
Rebels and subsidies Of French German and Belgian
troops Juarcz, the President of Mexico, continue:
to hold his position, and although his Government
from force of circumstances is rather nomadic his
troops have gained many triumphs, and are still in
the field Despairing of conquest by force of arms
or Of being welcomed TO tho heart of the Mexican
people as a legitimate ruler, Macmillan has signal
lied his reign by the publication of DEGREES which
for ferocity and injustice were never exceled by
Radetzky or Haynau. We presume that If the
feeling in France strengthens, and the sentimental

America as it is now, Macmillan will have an op'
portunity Of receiving his next New-YearS calls al
