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. New Publications. —We are indebted to Mr. J. Holbrook Estill, corner of Bull street and Bay Lane, for copies of the following new publication:!, being Nos. 265 and 266 of Harper’s “Library of Select Novels:” Dennis Donne. A Novel. By Annie Thomas, author of “On Guard,”’ aud “Theo. Leigh.". Belial. A Novel.

They may be found, with the current liter ature of the day, at the store of Mr. jSstill. Fkom Texas.—By a late arrival from Bra zos Sautiago, the New Orleans correspondent of the New York Herald learns that Major Headrington, iu command at Ringgold Bar racks, made a very important- capture of a large wagon train which left Brownsville for the interior of Texas on the 3d of May. Five hundred bales of cotton, 1,400 ounces of quinine, 4,000 tin plates, saltpetre and other articles were seized and captured. On the Bth inst.

Postmaster op Augusta.— Faster Blodgett, Esq., has been appointed by President John son, Postmaster of Augusta, Georgia. This appointment will meet the general approval of the citizens of Augusta, by whom Mr. Blodgett is justly appreciated as a worthy citizen nnd faithful public officer, he having filled satisfactorily the offices of Mayor of the city and Clerk of Ordinary of Richmond county. “Our Young Folks.” —We have received from Messrs.

The Latest from Mexico* Maximilian Massing Troops on the Bio Grande. IMPERIAL OFFICERS JOINING THE LIBERALS. A RUMOR ABOUT NEGROES. [Special Despatch to the New York Tribune.] Washington, Thursday, July 27, 1866. Semi-official news from Mexico has been re ceived from Gen. Ortega, dated from Tacom paro, State of Michoacan, June 13. He men tions the desertion to his army of two cavalry 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. Treaty with Hayti. Washington, July 26, 1865. The treaty of amity, commerce and navi gation, and for the extradition of fugitive criminals, between the United States and the Republic of Hayti, is officially proclaimed by the President. It was concluded and signed in November last. The treaty, among other things, declares there shall be a perfect, firm and inviolable petme and friendship between the two countries fin all the extent of their possessions and territories, and between their people and citizens respectively, without dis tinction of persons or places. The citizens 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. Tennessee. NOMINATION OF HORACE MAYNARD FOR CON - GRESS. 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.' * Dental. —lnquisitive Lady— Jemmy, your mother has very beautiful teeth.
