WEDNESDAY MORNLSfI J*an»*y 8. 1368 Mr. Gladstone os Fcxiaitok.— The lateat English mails contain several ad dresses ol Mr. Gladstone to his constiUeuU, on subjects of public importance. The uppermost ol these subjects at present is the spread of Fenianism, though the late violent proceedings attributed to the Fenians have been of a character little calculated to awaken the sympathy or honorable men. At each a time it would not be surprising to find the public men ol England unqualified in their denunciation of the Irish insurrec tionary spirit. Mr. Gladstone, however, tr*e to his principles us a reformer, boldly advo cates a further reform to meet the present emergency. Ue says that if the country is to remain united, Parliament must legislate for all portions of the country on the basis of perfect equality. Nothing thore than this can be reasonably expected of England. The Fenians will do more wisely in accept ing cordinlly proper measures of reform, than in continuing to molest a powerful government by acts of indiscriminate vio lence not altogether creditable to tbeir humanity. No good cause was ever built up permanently through mere revenge, nor is England likely to concede a single iota ou account of deeds which involve the lives of innocent and disinterested women and children. Exactly. —The London Telegraph thinks that if General Grant were made Presi dent, he would probably “look at the facts ' in regard to all questions brought before him, and restrain his action within the limits of his legitimate authority; and it describes him as a man who respects both equity and law, who never departs from solid ground, and who is probably one of the least prejudiced persons throughout the length and breadth of the Union. The Telegraph has got at the American idea of the case, exactly. Gss. Grant. —The New Haven Register has a dispatch from New York which states that Mr. A. T. Stewart, of that city, has received a long letter from General Grant, in reference to his nomination for the Presi dency, by the late mass meeting at Cooper Institute, New York. The dispatch adds that General Grant accepts the resolution and authorizes the committee to use his name for the Presidency. - —— Dr. Livingstone.— The long uncertainty respecting the fate of Dr. Livingstone has at length ceased. The Doctor is alive and well, and may now read with special interest thousands of sympathising obituaries which the papers of the civilized world have de voted to him. The Eiinnou Maximilian said no be Still Alive. —The New York correspon dent of the Waterford Mail mentions the following curious rumor. The letter i6 dated December 3: Admiral Tcgetkoff, of the Austrian navy, is now cn route for home, with what he be lieves to be the body of the unfortunate Maximilian. My connection with the Mexi can agents in this country forbids my en tering into minutiae, but I can assert that the remains which will be honored by Aus tria are not those of the ill-fated scion of the House of Uapsburg. but of Hamero, a noted bandit and guerrilla, who in life was not unlike poor Maximilian. The latter is pining in an obscure dungeon in Queretaro, fed with felon’s food, and awaiting the welcome arrival of death. The night be fore his supposed execution, Juarez, uncer tain of his own success in seeking the Presidency, and perhaps unwilling to im brue his bands in royal blood, had the noble captive conveyed by stealth to a secret den, and substituted in his stead the ruffian Hamero, hoping, had he not suc ceeded in his political aspirations, to have made a fortune by delivering him safely to Austria. Qeotikg Scmptcrk.—“ He is a stirrer up of strife, an inciter to rape, murder, arson and every other crime known to the decalogue.” — Macon Journal <f' Messenger. That’s good and muchly rich. When did those crimes get into the “ Decalogue ?” say, Mr. Messenger. What Sunday School do you go to ?—Allanlt Era- We presume the Sunday Editor (a very worthy gentleman of principle—though not the “Principal Editor”) was not around wheu that Biblical ignorance was displayed. Nasby’s Dkdicatiok.—The following is the dedication of Nasby’s new book, “ Ekkocs from Kentucky” just published : DEDICASHUN, Kz no one who is worldly-wise worships tho settin sun, but alluz the risin orb.

Who They Aue.— Says the New York Tribune: Our correspondent in Atlanta mentioned the other day a fact in relation to the Georgia _ Convention which we commend to the consideration of the Copperhead press. At least one-third of the members are ex- Re bel soldiers. The Democratic papers have been representing them as adven turers, Northern Radicals, contemptible partisans, the scum of the earth. But, in fact, among our best friends in the South are the men who fought bravely in the Southern armies, and now, accepting their defeat with soldierly frankness, are anxious to give their best energies to the reconstruc tion of their States. —The Legislature of Kentucky having passed a resolution instructing Senator Guthrie either to proceed to the capital or resign, be chartered an extra car, and will undertake the journey, notwithstanding his feeble condition. He is said to be suffering from paralysis of both limbs, j General Geaxt.—The Tribune is very much diattnued feet General Grant’* nomi nation and election thould not be aided by inch article* a* the Times turn recently pub lished on the subject. We npprooiate it* anxiety, and shall welcome aoj effort* it may make to supply tbe deiciency. There i* one source of coasoJation in the matter. General Grant's position with the people is such that he cannot be very seriously damaged by anything which any newspaper may «ecm fit to say about him. Even the attacks which the Tribune now and then make* upon him, we venture to ssy, will not injure him greatly aa a candidate; quite likely they will not do him any more hurt than an article in bis favor.— J/ew York Times. [From the Circular ot fn. Bryce k Cos. New 1 ark Cotton Review. New Yore, January 3, 1868. Our last Circular reviewed the market to the 2Tth alt. Middlings were quoted steady at JW. in Liverpool and firm at 15Je. here, and we re ported an increasing confidence in the staple on the part of people outside the trade. Oa Satur day it was known that the week’s receipts footed up 96,000 bales at the perts-a decrease of about 10,000 from the previous week. Holders were firm in their pretentions aad buyers coming for ward quite freely a quarter of a cent improve ment was fully established at the close of busi ness. Monday opened with no elements of change apparent, and speculators continued their pur chases, forcing prices up another ic., 151 being readily obtainable for Middlings; exporters bought quite freely, but speculators and spinners did the most of the business. Tuesday being the last day of the year was expected to be rather quiet, but the ofieringf were small even at the im provement and prices were in sellers favor, almost every lot of cotton being taken from the boards on a basis of 15je—the evening report from Liverpool quoted a firmer market. Wednesday was a close holiday both here and in Liverpool, Thursday was a holiday in Liverpool, but the market here was active, excited and higher. Uplands being quoted 16Ja} for Middlings, with a brisk demand from speculators and spinners. Shippers were pretty much shut out, yet the sales were very heavy, footing 7,750 bales. The market to-day has been active and the sales foot up over 7,600 bales at some improvement in prices; toward the close there is less demand, and the tone of tne market is rather tame. Cable advices have been regularly reoeived siuce our last and report a broken week in Liver pool, the sales for four days footing up 55,000 bales. The actual couut of stock occurred on Monday, and the stock‘was, found to be 18,000 less than estimated—the total reaching 497,000 bales, of which about one-fiftb was American, Prices have advanoeu from 7| to 7f for Uplands. The Manchester report is favorable, and a strong speculative feeling is manifest. Oar own market, as will be noted from the summary above given, has been active and ad vancing daring the week. The idea seemed to seize on both speculators and spinners that cot ton was a good purchase, and many lists have been stored in belief of a strong reaction, and our manufacturers seem to have taken courage to buy more than one week’s supply at a time. Liverpool has not advanced as fast as this mar ket, and in eoDsequance shippers hare been shut out to some extent; yet considerable cotton has gone on shipboard which requires an advance in Liverpool to pay out, Almost all grades have sold readily during the week, although Low Mid dlings have continued in special demand. Freights have been rather easier, and some en gagements hare been made at 5-16<L, which have not baen without influence on the market Y'et the real cause of the advance seems to be that the “investment point," to which wc haTO re ferred so often this season, is to be found at or about 15c. for Middling. At all events capital bought freely on that basis, and the tone of the market has changed from despondency to hope, and theories why cotton should advance arc as plentiful as a fortnight since were the arguments why a decline was inevitable. Hold has not va ried much from 133}, and the Treasury dis bursements seem to bare been fully discounted. There seems no very striking reason for any special movement in gold, either upward or downward, except Congress, in it* inscrutable wisdom, should resolve on soma new plan of de struction. Sterling exchange ha* not been quite as high as last week, and a considerable ship ment of eoin has taken place. The total receipts at this point continue quite heavy, but the out goings seem about equal, and stock does not ac cumulate to any extent. From J’litHips’ Provision Circular. Cihcihnati, Jan. 3, 1868. TbcProvision market has undergone but little change. There bas been a better demand for Mess Pork and Lard, but other articles have remained about in the condition last named. Accounts of the destitution of the South con tinue to ponr in, and the demand from that quarter must prove light unless Northern capi talists help them out. This fact, together with the prospect of a greater number of Hogs being packed than last year, has put something of a quietus on the expectation of profit on the cost of the Hog this season. Tbe market to-day closes more quiet, tbe offerings seem to be all filled, and offerings aic in excess of the demand. HOGS.—Sales have been made at from $6 to 6.50 gross and $7.75 to 7.35 nett, but tbe market closes dull at these prices. GREEN MEATS are held firmly at 7, 9 and llic for Shoulders, Sides and Hams,’ but buyers demand a concession of jc. MESS PORK bas been in good demand all the week, with large sales, chiefly on Eastern ac count, at S2O for old and s2l for new city, audit is generally held 25c higher. Country sells at 50c under city. RUMPS nominal at 45e for choice. LARD has been in fair demand for Eastern account, and advanced to 12a12j for country and city kettle* leaf—some holders asking }c more. Prime steam Hi to 12c. Keg Lard nominal at 13c. BULK MEATS remain dull at S, 10, 11], packed, for Sbild’s Sides and Clear Sides, hut it is difficult to make purchases under these figures. BACON is in but limited demand, and sel’s at 9jal2i for Shoulder and Clear Sides, packed. No C. R. or Rib Sides out. Sugar Cured Hams bare settled down to 17c, canvassed and packed, for best brands and are of slow sale. ".. 1 U Notice of Election.
