The great success which has attended the loans of the United States government since the present war has had its source in three causes; 1. Patriotism; 2. The abund ance of money ; 3. The high rate of interest ofL-red by goyerumeut. There is no popular movement more striking in financial history than the general impulse to subscribe to the government loans manifested by our people. This has its source, of course, in patriotism It is materially aided, however, by the abund ance of money, compared with the demand The war has throvvn’uppn the money market large masses of loanable capital, which the advantageous terms offered by the govern ment have attracted into the channel of public loans. This has been again aulcd by the popular conviction of the sufficiency of the national resources to meet all the national engagements, combined with an abiding trust in the good faith of the government- This new financial feature has enabled the United States, if not to borrow money with more facility than heretofore, at least to call forth from their recesses large amounts of un employed capital, which separately are unim portant, but which, in the aggregate, amount to large sums. It was the Emperor of the French who tried, in 1864, this plan of popular loan, on a scale commensurate with the public wants. He raised large sums to defray the expenses of the Crimean war by popular loans. The success of the plan will induce its general adoption hereafter, where circumstances favor its adoption. +^+ FLUCTUATION, IN THE VALUE OF GOLD. The gold market ofNew York exhibits all those variations that might be expected from the nature of the elements by which that value is influenced. 1. The demand for* gold to discharge commercial indebtedness, our imports exceeding our exports. 2. The demand for the payment of duties. 8. The demand of parties who are visitiug Europe, either transiently, for pleasure or busiuess, or permanently with the gains they have made by the war. W AgamsTthe'se demands is to be set- I. The foreign export of American production* —our cotton, rice, Naval stores, constituting the staples of the South, and the flour, wheat, corn, provisions, petroleum of the North, the export of which will bring down the price of bills and reduce the value of gold. 2. The large and increasing immigration from Europe, each emigrant bringing with him a portion of gold. It has been compu ted that the average amount brought by each emigrant before the war was SISOO, and the aggregate sum, taking one year with anoth er, equal to an annual addition to our num bers of 300,000 and to our wealth of $450,000- 000. The average amount this year has been estimated at SGO per head, and the sum total at $360,000,000. This is a powerful element in counterac tion of the tendency to an export of gold, which will tend to keep down the price, but we may expect fluctuation as one or the oth er of these causes predominates. * * * MEXICO. Ftom the present aspect of affairs in Mex ico the complication is becoming more, in stead of less, difficult. The authority of Max imilian is very far from being consolidated. The insurgent* forces are still In sufficient strength to give his government much trou ble. The Church party constitutes a serious source of embarrassment. The remoteness of that Protective power to w’hich the new Emperor looked for the maintenance of his authority renders that authority very preca rious, and the necessity of his abdicating would prove very damaging to the French Emperor. It is evident that no branch of his foreign policy has produced so decided an opposition as his resolution to build up an empire in Mexico under the guise of a Protectorate. The measure has not proved to be popular among the French people, if it has even found favor with his adherents and partizans. Nothing but immediate and decided success would have reconciled the French people to a scheme that appeared to involve greater chauce3 of failure than of success. Os all the nations of Europe the French are least able to bear military reverses, or that pro tracted warfare that attends the waste of re sources without the compensating advantage of glory and extension ®f territorial domin ion. ' V The soldiers at the Ira Harris General Hospita in Albany have evinced a great deal of ingenuity in their efforts to perpetuate the memory oi Abraham Lincoln, by the erection on the grounds of the hospital of a monu - ment twenty feel high, and well proportion ed, which to the observer from the road, ap pears to be solid granite, but in reality is only built in timber, lath and plaster. At the fetot of the monument, and occupying nearly one hundred feet es land, they have cut out of the green sward the word “ Lin coln," raised eighteen inches, and each letter sodded on the sides and covered with while sand on the face. The letters are ten feet high. PRICE. 5 CENTS Judge Winter of Georgia on the English'. Rebel Assassination. The following communication appears in the Loudon Star : 7. King-street, London, May 6, 1865. To lit •> Excellency Andrew Johnson, Presi ilent of the United States of America : Dear Mr. ” .mdekt. —Never in the course of a lc g rife have I been so appalled and distressed as when the news reached me of the brutal Assassination of our belolved P.-esident, Abraham Lincoln. But, bowing in reverent submission to tirat Divine will which permitted the accomplishment of that atrocious crime, I tbank God that mantle of our murdered Chief Magistrate has fallen upon one so worthy as yourself to fill the executive office in this hour of our Repub lic's need. From the w ise, courageous and patriotic course you have pursued from the time when, in 1860, the traitors who designed the overthrow and destruction of our govern ment first developed their evil intentions, I feel that I may congratulate my fellow coun trymen on the accession to office of one em inently qualified to finish the work so nobly begun by his predecessor. Under your rule, . through Divine Providence, the Union will, I trust, enjoy more enduring peace and greater prosperity than it ever before has known. The change of opinion with regard to American affairs which has been witnessed in England duriug the past saw weeks is oue of the most remarkable circumstances con nected with the history of our great struggle. It is not a hundred days since scores ol Bri tish newspapers vied with each other (I grieve to say) in abuse of “the late United States ’ —“the babble republic”-—or “the ig norant, bloodthirsty Lincoln.” Now, with, scaicely an exception, these journals are unanimous in enpressiug their respect for in stitutions that have passed unscathed through so fierce a trial, and in lamenting yhe death ot Mr. Lincoln, not only on account of the atrocity ol the assassin’s crime, but because they cau at length discern in . his character evidence of wisdom aqfl virtue lor transcend ing the tolly and wickedness they were torra ly wont to lay to his charge. This change is so gratifying that I am half disposed to lorgive those who, for foijir years past, have abused every act and deed of the Federal Government and Its loyal people, whilst bespattering the resfel Confederates with the most fulsome praises. Nor is it less pleasing to notice the disposi tion, Mr. President, to do Justice to vour own speeches and polio*’. Your utterances since your installation have received the most favorable and com plimentary remarks, and your reply to the British Miuister at your late interview has called forth the mo?t lively expressions of satisfaction. Your pacific words have dispelled any apprehension of war between the two coun tries that may have troubled the public mind since the victories vouchsafed to our aims have given unmistakable evidence of a nearly and successful termination of the conflict. With the blood of the martyred Lincoln it would seem as if all our sympathy with the rebel cause has been forever washed away. Where once it was the subject of a taunt, it is now accounted an honor that a man sym thises with the North. Fears have been ex pressed by some lest, a burning sense of private wrongs should impel you toward too severe a course of action In dealing with the rebels. I have answered that none need fear that you would be guided by any other rule and principle than a determination to discharge faithfully your public duties, and aid in preventing, by the exercise of the powers of the law and justice, a recurrence of that which you justly stigmatise as “the greatest of crimes,” a spirit of revenge will, I believe, have no place in your heart. I confess that I have had tears lest, excited beyond measure by the dastardly assassina tion of the man who was at once their be loved President and Commander-in-Chief, the Federal soldiers in the South should be tempted to commit excesses by way of retail iatiou. The fact that in the city of Colum bus, Ga., lately occupied by the Union troops, I have a large family of children and graud-children, as well as what little prop erty has been left me by the tyrannical lead ers of the rebellion, makes me moat keenly alive to the possible danger that even now may be befalling those most dear to me. My heart is sad indeed when I think of the mis eries that may visit their innocent heaths as the penalty of the iniquity of others. Should it be in your power, Air. President, to extend to tliemyour protection, it will be grafclully accepted by one who, in a foreign laud, is well known to have done his humble part in sustaining the cause and honor of m be loved—and now, I thank God, mofe than ever noble—eountry. / (Signed) John E. Winter (of Ga.) The Colossal Bird or Aladgascab. —ln the year 1850 a French ship captain named Abadie, being on the southeast colst of Ma dagascar, observed in the hand of a native the shell of a gigantic egg, whick had been perforated at one of its extremities and used for domestic purposes. Mr. Abadie, being attracted by the unusal dimeaaions of the egg, set to work to procure specimens of it, and ultimately succeeded in obtaining from the natives, besides the specimen first seen, two others, one of them found in the debris of a recent land slip. The other was disin terred from a recent alluvitl formation, to gether w ith some bones ol apparently no less gigantic siie. Upon these objects-, which were shortiy afterward forwarded t<f Paris, the late Prot. Isadere Geotfroi St. Hilaire founded anew genius and species of extinct struthious birds, allied to Dynornia, for which he proposes the name aEpyornis Maximus. The most striking character of the eggs of the aEpyor uis is their enormous size. The largest of the two received at Paris measured length wise no less than two feet and ten inches in circumferences, and breadthwise two -feel four iuebes in circumference. Its extreme length in a straight line was twelve inches. Prof. Geoffroi Si. Hilaire estimated that it would contain teu and one-eighth quarts, or nearly as much as six ostrich eggs. A large ostrich egg, we may mention, measures about six inches in length, being little more than half that of the iEpyornis. —Quarterly Journal of Science.
