Rebel writers in London.--The Mobile Register publishes a private letter from London which states that the editorial sanctum of The Index has become the focus and rendezvous of Southerners in London. It is a seminary of Southern intelligence, and a school of Southern writers, not for its own columns, but for the other London papers. J. B. Hopkins and Percy Gregg, both Englishmen, both writers for The Index, are mentioned as doing valuable service for the South. Gregg is also one of the principal leader writers for The Saturday Review, the leading London weekly, for which he writes Southern articles He is also an editorial contributor to The Morning Herald, and Standard, both of which papers, says the writer, are in effect daily Southern organs.

Why is a like a cat? Because he belongs to the race. The Question of Southern Cotton in England. Mr. George McHenry has addressed the following letter to the editor of the London Times: "Sir, a few months ago I drew your attention to the fact that the Board of Trade tables did not credit the Confederate States with any of the cotton received in England from them through the ports of the West Indies and Mexico. I find now that the Commissioners of Customs have made the same error, and in their report for 1863, just published, they base an argument upon the mistake, and assert that the blockade was more effective in 1863 than in 1862.

It contains the celebrated letter of George McHenry to Mr. Gregory, M. P., on the cotton question, many of the statements of which have been realized with prophetic accuracy.

The book, like all specimens of English typography, is very handsomely gotten up, and embellished with an attractive binding.
