The New Rebellion.

The Washington National Republican be-
lievcs that the New Rebellion" and "Max.
imilian's Avengers" are not mere myths, or
creations of the New York Herald. 1t says
We do not doubt, from What we have
learned from reliable sources, that such a
movement as another rebellion is talked of
certain quarters, aye, seriously contemplated.
These people regard it as fortunate cireum-
stance that they can organize their nearious
designs under tho pretext that they are going
to Mexico to .venge the death Of Macmillan.
This is sham. They care nothing for the
Archtluke. Seeing themselves cut off from
all participation in the government they Ia
bourcd four years to destroy, their object is
not vengeance on Juarez and the MexicanS,
but vengeance against parties nearer home.
That they feel 2 sympathy with Maximilan
and his friends is no doubt true, because they
are in sympathy with Imperialism as a-alns;
republicanism the world over. They will 60
to Mexico or anywhere else, provided it offer
them strength to Carry cut their main design.
which design is The overthrow of our govern
ment and tue establishment of n Southern
ogarchy, in which they shall rue We de-
clare, therefore, that the'IeraTs Washington
correspondent has net spoken moment 100
soon, and his communication, instead Of being
sensational, is sustained by authol itativc facts
in all Of its main particulars. The alherents
of our government. the lovers Of free priDci-
pl,s, and the believers in republican institu-
tions cannot ho loo yisilant. 0Forewarncd
is forcarmed."
The whole of tie above is certainly very
funnyl

Trode in New England.

Our New England trade, as a general
thing, is not in prosperous condition.
Some great branches of industry-su0h
as ip-building-are much depressed.
The mining interests are not success
full, and many branches of manufacture
ing are very dull; and at present the
great fishing interests look far from
prosperous. Our farmers are not grow
ing rich very fast, and are generally
small consumers of imported goods.
From all these considerations it will be
seen that We are not to have an e1ces'
sivejfall tradeithis year, but it will, per.
haps, be as well in the end to have all
classes in the country purchase in mod
crate quantities, and with care and dis.
elimination. The prospects for good
and prosperous spring trade will be fal
better with prudent purchases this fall
than with large operations. The enor,
NOUS autumnal sales of 1866 and 1e6C
were followed by a very meager and un
satisfactory business in March, April
and May following.-Boston TGreller.
