The reverend genticman thon, iy allusion to some newspaper attacks mado upon him ip conse- quonce of bis remarks about the prosperity of America, reperted that never, since America was America, had there been more material and commercial prosperity than there wasin the Northern Stales a! the present moment. Evory. tradesman and manufacturer was as busy as he possibly could be,and he was trying to moet al! the demands made upon his taxed cnorgics aud skill to provide goods. Labor never was moro abundant. Everybody haa employment for both bead and hand, and the monetary ailairs were easy and healthy, votwithistanding the asser tions of the Zimer editor to the conti All this was very pleasing. But it was said tho crasli was certain to come sooner orlater, That was true, if all the prospority he bad described was the result of au inflated paper cur rency. ‘Lhe question then was, ‘Ia thore moro paper in circulation in the North than there is actual and avail able property ia the North?” and to that ho could repiz, “There is no more paper {a circulation in the North thas ig safe, when we have the means to convert it.” Anew country must have credit, an old country did uot neod it, ‘Such being the fact, in about once every tea years a com. 4 mercial crash—a kind of miscellaneous crash—catag, and when the bubble was over, the property remained Tho community was not hurt by it.

Pradespeaple were doing aimast anentirely cash business. The government bad issued bonds upon the hole American Cnion, and not State bonds as before, and the consequence was that probably some $400,000,000 or $500,000 ,900 of capital of the North had boon invested in the scourity offered by the government, which, under another namo, was in America what tho consois were in England. The’ Americans felt that their government must stand, and hence thoy mado it thoir trustee and their aav- ings bank, in which thoy invested their $100,000, $10,000 or 5000 Nothing to the Americans seomed more sound and healthy than (be credit of the United States, and hundred of millions of doliara bad been invested in the United States bonds in that way. Referring to his own church, he said the blacks were allowod to ait any whore— wherever they got, but it was not so in all other churches, ‘The treatment of the blacks ia the North had been bad. ‘the North had been poisoned by slavery when the party now triumphant was ina minority. All the present ma jority im the North asked for was that, simee they bad ket thelr faces for going to Jerusalom, nobody would stop thom.

The Archduke Maximilian may also be struck with it, and ro- flect that a country can hardly be considered obodient and enthusiastic where measures Go rigorous are obit to. be adopted to protect the lives of its lberatora.

THE ANNEKATION IDEA OPPOSED, [Paria (Oot. 24) correspondence of Landon Nows.} M. Gnoroult, deputy for Paris, takes notice in the Opinion Nationale of the rumored intention to annex Mexico to France, and opposes the project most vehe mently. He says that instead of the 80,000 French troops which now occupy but a small yart of Merico, at least 100,000 would be required to hold th» couniry yer manent! y. To show that this estimate is not extravagant, he observes that 100,000 mon were actually employed in Algeria for many yoars, alshongh the ares of that country is eight or more times less then that of Mexico. In this provision he Jorvos out of the question the probable case of war with the United States; but if only thirty thousand Mlibustors and voluntoers were sent anbually to help Juarez in keep- ing up 8 guerill, warfare, Ae fhinks that a third of phe French budget would be absorbed in making head against them. To put the case shortly in an economical point of View, he says that Frauce has already spent two han- dred millions to got back sixty: and that if she continu. s the occupation to get back the two hundred sho must spend ao miilion, He calls for tbe withdrawal of tho army of occupation without delay, THE WAR IN POLAND.

We are firm in our belief that before the expiration of two or three weeks at the furthest matters will take a favorable turn, and the market will become as buoyant as the most hopeful could desire. Tho government is easy in ita financial affairs, with & large surplus of funds to meet any and all de- mands upon the Treasury, and it now becomes Mr. Chase to render all thé relief possible. When he was in difficulty the moneyed men and instilutions of New York came promptly to his aid, and it is now his turn to be magnanimous. He must anticipate the payment of certifi- cates of indebtedness to an extent that will not endanger the Treasury; he must meet the current expenses of the government as rapidly aa cirgumstances will permit, and thua return tee legal tenders into their usual channels, and be must issue the new interest-bearing notes, which were promised on the lst of November, as quick~ ly as the machinery of his department can prepare them for circulation. When all this is done wa shall hear no more, at least for a time, of a strin- gent money market. An element for partial relief, no doubt, is withia the power of the bauks. They have on hand twen- ty-four millions of legal tender currency, from whiok they can spare sufficient to meet the immediate demanda of the market, and thna quiet the excite- ment, The government does not require at pre- sent the payment of any portion of the thirty-five milliow loan, ten per cent of which was paid to- day, unsolicited by Mr, Chase, and if, instead of secking another cali from the Secretary, they would contribute to keep in motion the machinery of trade, they would be more certain to retain tho confidence of their customera The government is redeeming, on the average, two millions of dollars daily of the maturing certifi- cates of indebtedness, Gold opened in the morning at 146, then rose te 14644; but by noow if was down agin to 146%.
