Apy1cEs from Europe indicate that
perfect flood of immigration is likely to
be poured upon the United States the
oor,i,,o year. especially from the North
ern mart of Germany. The weekly
stesr, nackets from Bremen and Ham
bnr0. with some five or six extra steam
ers. which have been engaged, have all
their places taken up to the month of
November. This, at the low average of
eight hundred emigrants for each steam
er, on about ninety voyages in Ten
months, would alone give over 10000
emigrants by steam direct from Ger
many. besides which a large number
of sailing vessels will continue to take
of emigrants, and the hundreds of
steamers arriving from the States with
visitors to the Paris Exhibition, will
draw largely upon emigration by
French, Belgian and British ports by
running at reduced fares. 1t is be-
| lieYed that IN this manner another
loo, 600 continental passengers will find
their way to the States.
| To the general influences that attract
immigration to the United States, and
which have been made more powerful
by the better knowledge of this
country resulting from the in
terest excited in Europe by our
great struggle with the slave power,
there have been added in portions OF
Germany potent motive, arising from
the aversion with which the people in
the States recently annexed to Prussia
find themselves brought under Prussian
military CONSUMPTION. Many families,
it is said, are disposed to emigrate by
the desire of freeing their sons from 1t.
/ In the approach of this great move
ment of a thrifty, industrious and in
telligent population to our shores, we
have many causes for congratulation.
So far as it can be directed into the
States where rancorous sentiment OF
disloyalty is troublesome to the nation,
it will tend rapidly to the extinguish-
ment of that sentiment; while upon the
difficulties of our financial situation we
can look for nothing to act so effectively
and so speedily as the growth of popu-
lation and increase of productive in
dustry.
The organized agencies under which
the greater part of this immigration is
now being guided and directed will
carry it more Immediately than here
tOfore to the places where it is needed,
utilizing it at once and making its
effect upon the country more promptly
felt. Among the elements, therefore
for a calculation of the state of affairs
in this country the coming year, we
should count as very important the
promise of an immense emigration
from Europe.
THERE is u committee In London ap.
pointed to watch over the interests Of
the holders of confederate bonds. a
lovely time they must have oft. A Mr.
Morgan seems to represent these un,
fortunates, and he lays his SORROWS be,
fore the public in the columns of the
London Daily Nel1S. Mr.. Morgan's
disinterested opinion is that mo such
political biunder was ever made" as the
compulsory reputation of the rebel
bonds, especially of those which Mr.
Morgan represents, and for which cot.
ton was hypothecated; and with a san.
guine cheerfulnes which does him in
finite credit, and which If kept up will
bear him through all the ills of life, Mr.
Morgan expresses u belief that "this IA
tai word (repudiation) so far as Abe cot.
ton loan is concerned, is destined short.
ly to be blotted out, and then the money
markets of Europe will be again oper
+ for the promotion OF Southern enter
prise and renewed era of prosperity
will dawn"
The Netrs evidentl y does not sympa
thiZe with the distresses of Mr.. Nor
gan; but informs him that "the loan
like the war, was u speculation, and il
failed" These bond holders bet al
long odds in favor of the confederate
success. II they won, their gains woulC
be enormous; if they lost, their losse.
would be smaller, but total. This they
understood, those OF them who had any
brains. The others will find it out, anC
1t may be useful to them in the mex
speculation. It Is too late for this
Considering that the head of the rebel
lion was the at.advocate of the doc
trine of reputation, even in its applica
: tions to honest and legitimate indebted
ness, the Englishmen must have beer
, uncommonly green, or uncommonl,
carried away by their sympathies anC
their preJudfces, when they ventureC
, their money upon such credit.
THE bane of the South has been, from
the beginning, the copperheads of tn
North. They encouraged the rebellion
to break.out: they protracted it to the de
vastation and prostration of the South;
and now they keep alive its spirit, afte
its body has been crushed Southern
opinion, which when the war CLOSED
was SO soft AS to be moulded into any
form, has hardened into a bitter oppo
sition to the constitutional amendment
And this change has been wrought b,
northern copperheads, by a party which
