Auiantic Mal. 09. 1st payment of the interest. A loan, therefore, bear- ing eight per cent interest in currency and re- deemable at any time after five years, upon the expiration of six months notice to that effect, would no doubt be ag actively subscribed for if the date of redemption were specified. During the next term of Mr. Lincoln's administration two gold-bearing loans, amounting in the aggre- gate to $15,323,591, will fall due—namely, the loan of January 28, 1847, due De- cember 31, 1867, for $9,415,200, and that of March 31, 1848, due July 1, 1866, for $8,908,341; January next, the Texas Indemnity bonds, amount- ing to $2,052,000, are redeemable in gold. merely tender the redemption money of these loans in currency would be acting in bad faith to the holders, and damaging to our national credit. The argument which applies to the old seven-thirty notes would not apply to them. is, therefore, evident that in addition to the gold required for interest payments, which will soon be equal to, if not in excess of, the receipts for | duties, more than twenty million three hundred and seventy-fiye thousand dollars will be required to redeem the principal of old debts maturing during the next three years. In these we have an argument both against the increase of the gold-bearing debt and the issue of bonds redeemable within a given time.

Although the coupons on sixty millions of com- pound legal tender notes fall due on the Ist of December, when these which are now hoarded will again find their way into active circulation, in addition to the interest on them, amounting to 4fteen hundred thousand more, there is no relaxa- tion on that account, as the prospect of a new loan and the inducements to speculate in inflating securities neutralize any tendency towards lower rates for money which might otherwise exist.

The tonnage for the season thus far reaches the very large figure of 9.119.824 tons, against 8,633,366 tons to corresponding time last year, showing an increase of 486,458 tous. Notwithstanding this large increase in the production of coal, there is no Over stock in any direction that we learn, leaving a {air ipforence that the demand for coal next season will be even greater tnan it is now and has been all the year. Tho Boston Traveller of Saturday evening say: Money continues easy and tn good supply, but the other more fully supplied than at present by carrying | Markets are rather feverish and unsettled, in consequence into effect regulations according to the law of the last session of Congress for purchasing sup- plies of cotton and other products from the rebel States. The privilege of trading with the rebels for produce ought to be allowed to all under cer- tain conditions. Large quantities of cotton are hoarded in different sections of the Southern States accessible to private enterprise, and particu- larly in Western Louisiana and Texas, from which there is an active transport trade into Mexico, and thence to Europe. Some months ago the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce memorialized the government, through General Banks, for the privi- lege of trading under the law referred to, but no response, we believe, has yet heen returned. It is reported that regulations have been framed and agents appointed with this object in view, but if £0, they have practically remained a dead letter, and itis the duty of Mr. Fessenden to inquire into the matter and see that a reply is sent to the New Orleans memorialists. The supineness of the government, and especially of the Treasury De- partment, with regard to the trade of the restored territory of the South is opposed to federal interests and needs speedy investigation and correction. Hundreds of thousands of bales of cotton might be released for the benefit of our of the constant fluctuations in gold and exchange. United States stocks are wanted investment, aod there is a fair demand for most of the other dividend paying investments, without much change in quotations. Speculative stocks are dull and lowor, with few excep- tions, but a large majority of holders are mot inclined to sell, us the reduced prices.

The Chicago 7irivune of Friday refers to the con- dition of the market in that city on the previous day as follows: The demand for movey waa light, and bankers find themselves accumulating quite fast. This weather is pot favorable to packing operations, aod most of them are eres doing less than last week. The orders from jew York are quite large, and packers’ products are going forward very fast.

Mr. Fessenden is supposed to be engaged in preparing his report to Congress at the present time—uithough it will probably not be ready till a few days after its meetirfy—and we therefore deem the occasion opportune for again calling his atteution to the respons bilities of his position and | deficiency of 1,149,900 bbl the urgent need of that reformation which it is in- cumbent upon him to recommend; for our fiscal policy thus far has been deplorably bad, and no mere patching up of the old measures will suffice.

Without — xpianation this telegram may iead to misappre- ton. ri ave for their armies, we treated the negro women and children with the most borrible burbarity.

If the North is to win, then the ne- groce will pass into the hands of the Yankees: therefore a any danger arises of the North overrunning the coua- try ib will be politic to arm the negroes. If all the whites are enlisted Virginia will fight the invader with her blacks, The irer, Which. like the rest of the Confederate press, is always discounting defeats aod man- fully preparing for the direst extremity, recommends that Congress should authorize the ‘coment to pur- chase two hundred and fifty thousand staves, eulist them. in the army, and of course free them. We do bot see any probability that the Confederate Congress will adopt thie advice, becauze there is at pre- sent po need of such a measure. The Confederate armies were never numerically stronger than at this momeut, and the Northern government never found it more dif: ficult to recruit its rapidiy avd continually deploted ranks. Still there are conceivable contingencies in which tho negroes might be armed. 1 after another four years of war the South is baif as budly offs the North now representa ber to be, or oven if she js as hard pressed as were the colonists in the first war of independence, the negroes may be called upon to fight for home and coun- aod fumily.

Mr. Ciamnens said he should bo glad if Captain Burton would inform tiem in what respects the Muhometans, who were thus to absord the negro, diliered from the pure negroes. Mr. Ross asked whether Captain Rurton could give any information respecting the supposed superiority of the population of the Cong Mountains, portheast of Dahomey. Captain Boron briefly replied to the varions ques$ tions put. There was doubt of the superiority of the negroes northeast of Dahomey, but be doubted much whether there were any mountains in that quarter. As to the pure negro, the imp:ovemeut he had alluded to in that race was substantially an improvement of the race off the face of the earth. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) This would be effected by a gradual oxtension of the superior northern races. Circumcision bad been mentioned, and something was said about its orig taking place among the ows, but there was nota tittle of evidevee for that idea. lt was said that Mabome- tanism could uot now be propagated by the sword even in Africa, and that was true; but tt was by means of com- morce that that faith was spreading in Africa. The races which proselytised were all mixed with negro blood. As to tho diflerence between the negro and the negroid, it ‘was a matter of the utmost difficulty; but the Caffres be held to be pure negroids. The true disttoction, however, between the negro and the negroid was the foter. or thi smell of the body, which the ro had strong and th negroid not at all, Captaia Burton conciuded, ami applause, by thanking the meeting for the friendly re- ception given to his paper.

Questions were put by some of the spectators, such as "Where is my father?” «What is Alfred de Musset doing?’ «Can my departed wife assist me in my present difficulty?’ To cach of these questions a written answer was given by one of the Tuediume, who, with hig eyes fixed on the ceiling ap- peared wrapt in ecstacy, t his band ran over the paper with marvellous rapidity. ‘The written replies ‘were handed to those to whom thay wero addressed, who seemed eoraptnroa at recognizing. as they maintained they did. the very handwriting of their deiunet reistires, We had that evening some specimens of Alfred de M set's pootry.
