TIE REBEL BOND CRAZE.
More About the lucky Lunacy for the
People of the south.


The operations in confederate securi-
ties have been quite active among the
Charleston brokers during the past
week, and immense amounts have
been bought in this market at prices
ranging from $3.50 to IS thousand.
The demand continues good, and the
brokers generally have entered the
market, and are buying all the coupon
bonds that are offered They are act
ing under instructions from New York
houses, who, in turn, are buying on ac-
count of the English holders of confed-
crate securities. Major e. Willis has
made the largest purchases in this mar
ket. He began operations on last Fri
day, and has bought more than S., 000,-
600 in confederate bonds, SIS and SIS,
with the coupons of 1865 attached.
Yesterday he purchased about 81 $780,
coo of these bonds, which find a ready
sale at from 81 to So thousand, ac-
cording to quantity. The confederate
rs rate at So to So 50 a thousand, and
find slow sale. Mr.. E. M. Moreland
has bought in small quantities about
81 100000 of G's and SIS. r. M. Mar
shall & Brother have bought few hun
dred thousand; w. S. HASTE & Son
have made small purchases, and SO
with other brokers in the city.
The sale of the bonds has put $4,000
or $4,000 of good money in circula-
ton in this city. Some of the buyers
fear that any publication of the ready
sale of the bonds will have tendency
to "depress the market" while others
think that the large holders of the Sc
curities will stand back for better
prices. The cotton bonds are the only
securities that are regarded by the
brokers as of any intrinsic value. Col.
r. j. Moses, a prominent lawyer of
Columbus, Ga, is acting for the Ameri-
can holders of the confederate bonds
who intend to get the confederate de-
posits in the Bank of England by liti-
CATION or compromise. Col. Moses is a
relative of Mr.. Judah p. Benjamin, one
of the old confederate cabinet, who
has been retained in this suit.
1t was rumored in the streets, yester-
day, that an enterprising New England
firm, as soon as the demand for the
bonds sprang up, started factory for
the purpose of manufacturing them
in order to supply our English cousins
with all the article that they want. The
rumor could be traced to no authori-
tative source, but it is remembered
that during the late war, out of which
the confederate bonds sprang, our
brethren at the north supplied us with
even a better article in the shape of
confederate currency than we were
able to manufacture at home, and so
there may be something in the rumor,
after all.

Moody and Sankey in England.


Messrs. Moody and Sankey COM
menced their second religious cam
paign in Great Britain at Newcastle
yesterday. Mr.. Sankey, who has been
in England for some time past, was
joined on Monday by Mr.. Moody, who
arrived in Newcastle from America on
the previous Saturday. They had in
vitations from many parts of the coun-
try to commence their revival services,
but they accepted in the end warm
invitation from Newcastle, which town
was one of the first places they visited
on their tour in 1873. Their first SER
vice yesterday afternoon was held in
West Clayton Street Congregational
Chapel, the building being crowded in
every part, and an overflow meeting
had to be held in a neighboring Bap-
fist chapel. At night an extraordinary
large congregation assembled in the
largest chapel in the town, large num-
bers not being able to gain admission.
Mr. Sankey's singing and Mr.. Moody's
impressive address were attentively lis
tened to, and numbers remained be-
hind for the inquiry meeting and other
deyotions.

Dublin is a captured city. From the
London journals we learn that it con-
tains over 5000 soldiers-cavalry, ar
tillery and infantry - besides about
1000 police, who are soldiers in all but
name, being armed with rifles, swords,
and revolvers. There are 1000 horses
and sixteen guns. Every sentinel is
provided with twenty rounds of ball
cartridge. Troops in garrison are con-
fined to barracks, ready to turn out at
nom ent's notice. Five military mag
istrates and three civil magistrates have
been specially appointed, and the city
has been divided into three districts for
the more prompt administration of
justice. All these arrangements indi-
cate the seriouT state of affairs and the
strong resolution of the government.
