IbHvrd Speculation of flie Rebel Press
on a llavolutlou at the NortH.
from the JlrraUi.
Wo notice that some of the old Kebcl news-
impciaof the Soul h, whtcu un fortunately still
maintain an existence, are trying to draw con
soltrtion from tbe expectation tbat tbe North ta
about to go throuRh a terrible, flnancla' revul
sion. With a bitter feeling afjalnH the North,
and blind to their own Interests, thoe imprac
ticable and incurable Rebels eeem to have a
apuc ort of hope that a financial crisis may
serve them or their exploded cause. Now, we
tuko the trouble to inform those silly writer
that there can be no general or great levulaion,
and that if there were to be it would not help
them. Nor could the persistent resistance of
the Southern States to reconstruction or tbuir
prolong extfuuion from the Government
biliiR about such a date of th ngs. Tbe South
would be injured, its productive power para
Ij zed in a measure, anu tue North would sudor
to the extent ot lobliig so much business and in
the heavier burdens it would have to bear; but
we sti oh Id go on, notwithstanding, in our
niigbtv career ot proeiess and prosperity. We
want anil will have tbe productions ot the
South: and il the impracticable liebol Southern
ers oppose restoration, and, thoref ire, t.e de
velopment ot their country, wc will sweep them
out ol the way. But neither our prosperous
existence nor tbe prevention of a revulsion de
pends upon the South. ....
There are a pood many silly people at. the
Nor'b, too, who souictiine9 talk ot a coming
rcvubdon. There can be d revulsion while
the volume of currency is abundant and irre
dcempblo in specie. A tew people may lail
through overtrading or Imprudent management
ot their business. This occurs at all periods
and In all countries -in specie paying times as
well as at other times; but it is impossible tbere
should be anjtbiiiit like general financial trou
ble. We are liablo to such a disaster at any
time when epi-clo alone is tbe legalized cur
rency, because when loreign exchange is largely
affalust us and other countries draw the pre
cious metal Irom us, we urc lelt without a sulli
ciert medium for tbe purposes of trade. This,
as every business man know, tends to create a
revulsion. We know, however, that foreign
countries will not draw away our paper cur
rency under any circumstauces, so as to mike
tbe least perceptible impression upon our inter
nal trade and commerce. Revulsions occur for
the want ol money never when (hero is a cood
and steady supply ; aud our legal-tender cur
rency is as good money as any other as gold
itself for all tbe purposes of internal trade.
Besides, the country is in a healthy, prosperous
condition: we are developing our resources
more and more every day, and we are ap
proaohing, as rapidly as it is healthful to do so,
a specie basis.
We advise our Southern contemporaries to
five up their silly nolions about the Morth.
bey said the crass would grow in the streets
of New York for the want of busi'iess when
they started the Rebellion. They see now how
absurd their views were. Let them learn, from
the past to be wiser in the future. It they will
be revenged upon the 'Yankees," we can tell
them how to do it. They have richer and more
varied resources than tue North, aud if they
will follow the example ot the Yankees, and go
10 work in cultivates: their lauds, opening
their inmes, and csriblisniuj raanu factories
everywhere, they will be able to outsell the
North and tie rcbt of the world in almost all
the productions ot tue soil aud labor. That is
the wav to be revenged, aud we stiall take such
revenge In good part. We hope they may havo
the good sense to droo their noiisensie il and
useless hostility and political quibbles, and tuka
our advice.
3 he International Octnu Telegraph
Company.
From the l ime).
We are opposed, and strongly opposed, on
principle to all monopolies, their naturnl and
almost universal ellect being to beneGt the few
at ihe expense of the many, aud the enterprise
which is the subject of these remarks Is the pro
tected grantee, it appears, not ol one but of
many exclusive privileges, or rather of the
same exclusive privilege from many distiuct
nationalities. The a priori influence dedueible
Irom the obtaining of those exclusive privileges
would be, thitt the combined intelligence and
experience ot the various Governments erectiug
these monopolies have been convinced of toe
national value of the interest to be created and
protected, thus giauting tbe protection as they
would to a patentee, or that they believed that
this interest of national value could not be
created without the special protection of a
limited monopoly.
If our memory serves us right, bolh of these
reasons were adduced, discussed, and admitted
in tbe United States Seuate before the Interna
tional Ocean Telegraph Company obtained their
bill; aud, if we are correctly informed, tbe main
reason which induced tbe Spanish Government
to protect the Company, was the couvicticn that
no association would ever undertake to place
her West Indian colonics in telegraphic commu
nication with tbe home Government, unless pro
tected tor a time against competition.
No ono can reeoyiiiae more fully than we do
tbe many advantages daily afforded to us by the
Atlantic cable. As a material progress, as a
grand victory of mind, energy, courage, aud
perseverance over tbe inorgaulo forces ol nature,
we hail it, are proud of it, aud ot the national
share we have had in its accomplish ment. But
as a commercial monopoly, it is necessarily
opposed to our ideas of piogress, and, as a
political one, it may, by reason of it foreign
termini, become one day a greater national
bane than it is a present bene lit.
If, therefore, a monopoly though it be, the
first cable of the International Ocean Telegraph
Company, to be laid shortly from Key West to
Havana, is to be as we are credibly informed
the brst link of a new transatlantic chain,
which, passing thrown, the Windward Islands,
slong the northern coast of South America,
shall stretch from Cape St. Uoque to the Azores
and Canary Islands, and termiuate at Cadiz, we
presume we must hail it as ouo ot the many
gcods of questionable paternity: and, perhaps,
being possessed of no transatlantic soil our
selves, Spain is as convenient a country as anv
other on which its European terminus should
be landed.: j
The International Ocean Telegraph Company
Intend, we understand, to lay their cables to
Jamaica, and tbence to the national focus of the
whole trade of tbe Pacido, the Isthmus ot
Panama. The commerce of the south west coast,
-which, according to all laws, political aud
geographical, would clearly belong to us, is now
almost entirely in the bands of tbe European
commercial communities, attributable maiuly
to tbe liberal system of postal conventions
whereby England fosters indirectly the esta
blishment ot markets for the principal staples.
Were our mcrchan's once placed in tolegraphio
communication with the republics of Colombia,
Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Chili, there can be
no reason whv a fair average of the commerce of
those countries should not be directed to us.

perilled condition of the Wool Manufacture of
our entire country. iu khm uuiu craujtnn,
Essex county, N. J., dated December 4, the
writer says:
"I am quite largely engaged in manufacturing
woollen eooda in this State and iu the State of
New York, and woll know the condition of the
woollen interest of onr country this day, It Is
extremely precarious. I tell you that unless
Congress relieves us tmmediattty, there will be
untold suffering. Manmactuiers will be ruined,
and operatives have to beg for broad. What we
want is help help now. Sixty dsys from this
time tt may be too late to do us any good.
"The Tarifl bill now pending shoul 1 become a
law, and when it becomes a law, I want to see
its provisions honestly enforced. Wo are now
cheated out of the little incidental protection
tho existing tariff should afford us, by fraud u
leut Invoices and unocrvalustlon. I only yes
terday beard of a case r( heavv, fine Austrian
cloths Invoiced at Jil'uO a vard, sold In New
York by the importers at $8 a yard I The im
portations are reallv mon than double, yes,
more than treble, what the Treasury statements
inotcatc." . . . ,
The Secrotnry of the Treasury confesses In his
annual leport thai, on account ot "a systematic
undervaluation of foreign merchandise im
ported Into tho Ur.lted States," etc., "twenty
per cent, at least should be added to the
imports, which would make tho balance for tbe
pen year aeaintt the United States nearly
f 100,000,000."
From ilio evidence we last week published,
this then is the case: The woollen manulactur
ers of this country, with aggregated capitals
amounting to $6'J,O0O,0O0 giving employment
to 80,000 operatives sustaininflr with wages
directly and indirectly 400,000 persons
doubling and trebling tho value of agricultu
ral land and of farm products in circles of Irom
twenty to fifty miles altimeter around each and
all of the m fernMiing freight to railroads,
canals nnd sleam-vessels giving ia&Dlta busi
ness to machine shops, foundries, mechanics,
mcicluinis, aud ageits tbls immense indus
trial interest is In immediate daDger of beiug
tlesiroved by forcicn Importations. Whether
this destruction of a most important clement of
national liic xhall be permuted, is a question
which it should be deemed a crime to raise. To
permit it would be a wickedness and a reckless
madness that could only bnd a parallel in the
deliberate cuttius of the dykes ol Holland, and
lettinir tbe sea whelm in, and sweep away be
culture and wealth w hich tent uttea of protected
labor have slowly built up.
Tbe concurrent statement of the American
woollen manufacturers is that their business
must inevitably and speedily perish if the House
Tariff bill, or a bill like it in principle and
equivalent to it in protection, ts not taken up
by the Senate and made tbe law of the land.
The political reconstruction ot the country has
consumed the time nod occupied Ine passions of
Congress and the people lor eighteen months
continuously. Will nt Concrpss give eighteen

most important material Interests-T
The Colliery Explosion la England.
From the World.
It is impossible to frame any satisfactory
theory as to the origin of the terrible disasters
which have taken place during the past few
days in the coal regions of Kiigland. Aside
from the simple horror of the disasters them
selves by which hundreds of persons have lost
their lives, and a cessation or work to do, which
means a cessation of bread to eat, has been en
tailed upon thousands of others the most
striking featute of tbls appalling news is the
almost simultaneous occurrence of several of
these explosions In mines situated far apatt
from each other. Whether this is to be regarded
as one of those curious cases of synchronous
accidents upon which Buckle and others have
speculated so curiously, or whether it indicates
eomeei:anprc and perilous subterranean work
lug ol the elements, cannot yet be even plausi
bly guessed at. It may be observed, however,
in connection with toe former fay poibesis, that
we have had something nit dissimilar iu tne
three or four tires by which, witoin as many
oa.vs, as nany tcne aienl houes In this ci y have
been consumed, each tiro bringiug with it a dis
mal IofS ol human lite.
It tbe second inpolbesis prove to ba the cor
rect one, a new aiid very serious interest wi 1 be
given by these culaini ies io the question which
has of late been so earnestly debated in Great
Britain, ol tbe leng.n of time during which
Knglnnd can expect to live upon heruoiual coal
treasures. 11 has been pretty clearly demon
strated that at the present rate of consumption
these bowels of England's erea'uess and power
must give out within the next century, and if
subterranean fires and explosions, nimit'yiug
throughout the under-world of the islaud, are
to accelerate this consumption, tiere will really,
be much teason for Englishmen to set about
dialing seriously with Ihe prospect which will
thi n stare them in the face.
it is anticipated by at least one British savant
that the immediate effect producoJ by the assur
ance that England's coal mines are not only
exhaustible, but rapidly neailn the point ot
exhaustion, will te the concentration of .cion
titc iboutht upon some new and less cumbrous
means ot developing heal. It certamlv cannot
be regaided as impossible that the Feneration
which has laid bold, so resolutely and to such
purpose, of the tremendous and subtle power of
electricity, should also see the furnace and tbe
coalpit abolished as the stage coaih and the
windmill telegraph have beeu.- And if tbe dis
covery ts to bo made, nothing will more
assuredly hasten it than tbe conviction, once
iorccd home upon tbe English t rain, that the
vcty vital lone by which England keeps her
pluce is directly thieatcned witu exhaustion.
It is known that M. Michelet married a
voting wile in his old age, and that his work
"La Fetunie" is to a gieat extent made up ot tbe
results ot hie personal experience of married
J lie. M'me Micbelet bas now made her debut
as an authoress or, rather, according to ttie
modern diction, an author. M. uni M'me Mi
cbelet, before leaving Paris, as they art wont to
do, to pass tho winter season at Hyeres (the
locality id which M. Michelet collected tbe
materials for hl3 "1'oisson"), gave a farewell
dinner to their friends. In tbe eveuirg some
chapters were read of a new novel by M'me
Michelet, called "L'Enfaut." This, like some
of her husband's books, is said to be persoual,
and to contain passages from the history of her
own lite. M'me Michelet was a governess, and
for some time lived in that capacity with tue
family of Pilnce Cantacuzene at Bucharest.
The J'alrie olLausance (Switzerland) says:
It has been reported in this locality for som)
time past that certain English speculators pro
posed to ouy at unoaru tne tun is ot more man a
hundred cows, in order to forward the same to
England in a powdered state. This report now
turns out to bo true, and we hear that the build
ings necessary lor the performance of this
operation are ulrotdy in course of construction
and will shortly be tenanted. Tbe milk is re
duced to powder by means ot evaporation.
Arrived at its destination, the powder will be
mixed with a certaiu quantity of water, and thus
be re.-tored to its liquid state."
A French Court has decided that when a
railroad fails to transport passengers to a given
point in a given time, by the breaking down of
an engine or uny omei- accident, tbe company
is bound to pay the expenses of passenger, who
may adopt other means to reach their destina
tion. It is announced that .the philanthropic
lady, Miss Carpenter, who bas for the last
twenty years devoted herself to the reclama
tion of London juvenile vaenbonds, bas ar
