nts. We trust that this loan will be liberally encouraged by the people of the South. The success of the loan would itself contribute a moral force to our Government equivalent to a dozen great victories. Nothing contributed more to fixing Louis Napoleon firmly in his imperial seat than the enthusiasm with which the French people subscribed to his loans. Since the result of the first loan was proclaimed, the imperial throne of Napoleon has been the staunchest and firmest of all the thrones oNapoleon has been the staunchest and firmest of all the thrones of Europe, though some of them have existed by a prescriptive right of centuries. The moral power which the prompt taking of the loan would give would be great; but the material I power would be greater. What if it were known abroad that the Confederate Government owned and held a million bales of cotton?

Like the London Times, the leading Paris journal has found out that the Union was a voluntary Confederacy of sovereign States. In reply to the Opinione Nationale, which has been led astray by the Northern journals, all of whom look upon the United States as a consolidated Government, we have the Pays, a semi-official paper, said to be under the control of Louis Napoleon's most confidential writer, the alleged author of the pamphlets which the Emperor puts forth occasionally to feel the pulse of Europe. The Pays instructs the Opinione Nationale that the Federal Government is merely a common arrangement of independent sovereignties, with delegated and limited powers. We annex some extracts: The Opinion Nationale should recall to mind the words of Lord Chatham during the War of Independence. "When, with one common accord, all classes of societ
