THE GREAT SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN
CLOSED.
The northern papers during the past twelve
months have, from week, to week reported
the progress of this stupendous loan, which
has at length closed. When it was first put
upon the market there were not a few, both
North and South, who doubted th&t the Gov
ernment, even with the inducements offered,
would, with the immense debt resulting
from the war, be able to raise the amount
contemplated by the loan authorized: but
the result has proven the groundlessness of
their apprehensions, while it has afforded the
most gratifying proof of the confidence of
the people in the national credit. As stated
by the New York Times, the three series of
notes into which the loan was divided were
as follows: The first series of $300,000,000,
bearing date Aug. 15, 1864, and now quoted
at par and interest; the second series, also
of $300,000,000, bearing date June 15, 1865,
and now selling in New York at 99 3-4 to
99 7-8, adding interest; and the third and
final series of $230,000,000, bearing date July
15, 1865, and just closed out at par and In
terest. These three series of notes make a
grand aggregate of $830,000,000, all disposed
of within a single year, in the home market
exclusively, and at par.
With such a demonstration of the confi
dence of the people, and of their willingness
and ability to respond to the financial re
quirements of the Government, certainly
there need be no fears for the preservation
the national credit; and the fact may
justly be regarded as a most gratifying illus
tration of the inexhaustible resources and
wonderful recuperative power of the Re
public. Felicitating the country upon the
success of the great loan, the Times truly
remarks: „
“ Never, in the history ot nations, was
such an enormous amount of money raised
for public use with'such extraordinary raDid
ity and success, as in the instance of the
Seven-Thirty Lean, which is now all in the
hands of the loyal people, and deemed by
them the most desirable security ever issued
by the government. The notes of the loan
have been .more widely distributed than any
previous issues of the Treasury Department,
with the solitary exception of the famous
greenbacks. And it is safe to say, that
wherever, in the remotest section of the
country; any spare greenbacks awaited ah
opportunity for reliable and profitable in
vestment, the Seven-Thirties found them
out, drew them forth, and swallowed them
up, to the advantage, present and prospec
tive, of all interested parties.”
PROM MEXICO.
We have by the last Northern papers start
ling and contradictory rumors from Mexico.
We published in our evening's edition a very
improbble repaort of extensive military pre
parations by Maximilian. Another account
equally doubtful is furnished by a gentleman
recently from Mexico to the Memphis Bulle
tin.
This gentleman professes to have been an
eye witness to most horrible outrages per
petrated by the French troops upon Ameri
cans in the departments of- Mexico occupied
by the imperial forces—sucb|as the murder of
men and women and the expulsion and rob
bery of all Americans. The informant re
presents the entire country in a most deplor
able condition, infested by bands of robbers,
employed by the imperialists, and in many
parts destitute of food of every kind.
An insurrection of the church party had
taken place near Guadaljara, in consequence
of the Emperor’s refusal to f|store the church
property which was put down, and sev
eral Generals and priests shot. At Mazatlan
all Americans had been ordered out of the
country, and were compelled to leave at a
few hour s notice, abandoning their property.
The same gentleman says that there &
thirty thousand exiled Americans aud Cafi
fornia adventurers who are ready to march
Into Sonora if our Government will give
them a pretext for doing so, and* that the
whole Mexican people are praying for the
coming of the American armies, and are en
thusiastic for the expulsion qf Maximilian,
who is now confined to the city of Mexico,
which he dare not leave without a strong
guard. Mining and all other business is re
presehted as suspended. Senora is overrun
by the Apache and Camanche In
dians, and the coffee and sugar
plantations in Sinilvalaid devasted.
In the same paper we have a repetition of
the report that M. Eloin, the special ambas
sador sent to Europe by Maximilian, to so
licit aid from France, Austria and Belgium,
had returned with advice from those powers
to abandon his project of establishing him
self upon the throne of Mexico. The pres
ent state of affairs on this continent render
ing it inexpedient for France to sustain him,
it is understood that the would-be Emperor
will retire from Mexico at an tarly day, and'
the troublesome Mexican question be thus
brought to a speedy settlement.
Such is the conflicting character of the
accounts irom Mexico. In the absence of
more reliable information, it is difficult to
form an opinion as to the true status of af
fairs in that unfortunate country. Revolu
tion and anarchy have long since become
chronic in that region, and it remains to be
seen whether imperialism or a practical ap
plication of the Monroe Doctrine will be the
, remedy for its long-standing political and
social disorders.
The Northern News.
We give this rilorning further extracts from
our files of Northern papers to the 28th, from
which we published the most, important news
last evening, anticipating the Pent’s advices,
and giving one day later.
Sale or Cottoh at Auction. —United States
Cotton Agent Simeon Draper, sold on the
26th in New York, 2,000 bales of North Caro
lina and New Orleans cotton at auction.
There was but a limited attendance, the
market being dull, and the bidding was not
as spirited as on previous occasions of. the
same kind. Os New Orleans cotton, two
bales strictly middljgg, brought 46c.; 44 bales
good middling, 42 l-2c.; 48 bales good or-,
dinary, 39c.; 143 bales good ordinary.3o l-2c.
c. a 3tc.; 365 bales rebaled and mixed, 30c. a
3lc. The Memphis and Vicksburg quality
sold as follows:—34 bales good middling,
47 l-2c.; 158 bales middling, 45.; 125 bales
good middling, 42 l-2c.; 191 bales good or
dinary, 39 3-4 c.; 89 bales ordinary, 39c.; 25
bales good ordinary, 30 l-2c.; 84 bales rebal
ed and mixed, 29 l-4c. The North Carolina
cotton went at the following rates: —25 bales
low middling, 43c.: 24 bales good ordinary,
39 l-2c.; 25 bales good ordinary, 35 l-2c.;
369 Richmond mixed, 32c. a 32 3-4 c.; 2
bales good middling, 48c.; 24 bales middling,
45c.; 54 bales ordinary, 42 l-4c.; 47 good or
dinary 40c.
Emigration.— It is stated thatflast year the
emigrants who landed in the port of New
York alone, were nearly 185,000. It is
thought the emigration this year will amount
to a quarter of a million or more. Great ef
forts are being made in Canada to promote
emigration to that colony, but it is asserted
by the Canada papers that a majority of the
people who land there very soon find their
way to the States. Heretofore the emigra
tion from Europe to this country, has found
a lodgment In the Northern and Western
States, but since the change which the war
has effected in the labor system of the South,
it is very certain that the superior in
ducements offered to industrious emigrants
seeking permanent homes will cause the tide
to set towards the South. Especially in the
upland regions of Georgia, cheap land ,a pro
ductive soil, mild and healthful climate
will for years to come offer inducements to
settlers superior to the more distant and less
genial West. It if to the inteest of our
State and people that the advantages of our
farmiDg and mining districts should be made
generally known in Europe, and that every
proper inducement should be offered to
industrious aud thrifty emigrants to settle
amongst us.

[Special Despatch to the New York Tribune.]

Semi-official news from Mexico has been re
ceived from Gen. Ortega, dated from Tacom
paro, State of Michoacan, June 13. He men

regiments of the Imperial service, and that
he is daily tendered the services of large
numbers ot Mexican officers coming from
points in possession of the French.
He farther states that Maximilian has con
tracted with a foreign speculator for the in
troduction of a large number of negroes who
are to be kept in slavery for ten years; that
they must renounce the right of complaint
of ill treatment before the magistrates, and
that their temporary bondage may be re
newed. and they can be transferred lor sale
without consulting them.

Washington, July 26, 1865.
The treaty of amity, commerce and navi

possessions and territories, and between their
people and citizens respectively, without dis

of the contracting parties are to have free
access to the tribunals ot justice. The two
countries recognize as permanent and immu
table the principle that free ships make tree
goods, and that the property of neutrals on
board of all enemy’s vessels is not subject to
confiscation unless the same be contraband of
war. Persons shall be delivered up, accord
ing to the provisions of the treaty, who shall
be charged with offences.
The treaty contains important provisions,
of the most liberal and friendly character, for
the benefit of commerce between the two
countries.

NOMINATION OF HORACE MAYNARD FOR CON

Hon. Horace Maynard was unanimously
nominated for Congress in the Kuoxville
district on the 27th, and made a powerful
speech accepting the nbminatiou.
. A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY AT NASHVILLE.
One of the most horrible tragedies ever
recorded was enacted here on the 27th re
sulting in the murder of Capt. M. S. Alien,
by H. B. Payne, and the wounding of a cit
izen named Cochrane. The circumstances
are as follows : About one year ago Allen
seduced Payne’s wife. Last winter Payne
sued for and obtained a divorce from his
wife, but swore he would kill Allen.
About 6 o’clock in the evening, Payne met
Allen at No. 64 South Cohege-street, and
immediately drew a revolver, firing three
times, the first shot taking effect in Allen’s
shoulder. The second shot missed Allen
and wounded Cochrane severely in the hand
and thigh. The third shot broke Allen’s
third rib on the left side, passing through
his heart, and, of course, caused instant
death. The affair caused great excitement,
as both parties were among the oldest and
wealthiest citizens. Payne is in jail await
ing his trial. The coroner’s jury rendered a
verdict according to the above facts.
Gov. Perry’s Speech at Greenville.—A
Washington despatch says that a friend of
Gov. Perry, and apparently by his authority,
has caused the publication of a communica
tion, in which he says that three days before
the meeting at Greenville, South Carolina,
Gov. Perry was appointed Provisional Gov
ernor ; that the latter at that time was not
only uninformed of his appointment, but had
not the remotest idea that such an honor was
to be conferred upon bim. The purpose of
Gov. Perry in his address, the writer says,
was to show the people of South Carolina the
great mistake they had made in seceding, the
ruinous consequences to their beloved State,
and the humiliation and degradation to which
they had reduced her; boldly declaring that
they had no cause for seceding, and were in
no danger from the election of President Lin
coln. The writer says it is not true, as stated
in some of the newspapers, that the Governor
feels, personally, any humiliation in coming
back into the Union, for he had no agency in
going out of the Union; but that he has feel
ings for his State; and Gov. Perry entreats
the Southern people in terras of earnestness
to become loyal citizens, and repudiate for
ever, and to teach their children to repudi
ate, the political heresies which have ruined
their country.
The Military Power of the United
States.— Gen. Parsons, of St. Louis, in a
speech delivered at the Ya’e College com
mencement, stated, it is asserted, on the au
thority of Secretary Stanton, that the Wa
Department had already sent home about
seven hundred and fifty thousand soldiers;
that one hundred thousand more would be
on the route in a few days, and that at the
time of Lee’s surrender the Union forces
were within two or three thousand of a round
million of men.
No More Loans.— A Washington despatch
of the 27th ult. says :
The power to effect further loans is now
exhausted, but the Secretary of the Treas
ury is of the opinion, that owing to the con
tinued redaction of the expenditures of the
government, the Treasury can be kept in an
easy condition by receipts from the usual
sources of revenue, and meet all requisitions
which can properly be made upon it until
the meeting of Congress. It is estimated at
the Internal Revenue Bureau that the re
ceipts of income taxes, &c., for the next 75
days will be at the rate of $1,000,000 per
day. The next statement of the public debt
will be made early in August. It is publish
ed every two months.' *
