DKATII OF GOV. KU.IS.-Our North Car
olina exchanges come to us clothed in mourn
ing for tho death of Governor lillis. He
was a sterling man, and bis death at this junc
ture will be lamented throughout tho South.
Tho Raleigh State Journal, speaking of his
successor, says :
"Hy the lamented death of Governor Ellis,
Honry'T. Clark, Ksq., of Tarboro, Edgecombe
county, Speaker of the Senate, becomes the
future Governor of North Carolina. Under
the dispensation of an omniscient God, it is
well. No citizen of North Carolina more
than Air. Clark will deplore the afflictive dis
pensation which hos conferred on bim thc
exalted honors and arduous duties inseparable
from the executive office of thc Stato, and
none than bo would discharge them with
morn fidelity, lie comes into ofliec at a time
which is indeed calculated to try men's 'souls,
but ho brings with him to its duties n record
for sound judgment, largo experience, hones
ty above suspicion, capacity beyond a doubt
and fidelity whom all eau trust, which will at
onco commend him to tho coiifidciico of thc
people. What his lamented predecessor has
inaugurated to sccuro tho inestimable bles
sings of civil and religions liberty to tho oit
7.0ns of North Carolina and tho ultimate inde
pendence of tho Southern. Confederacy, Gov.
Clark will faithfully and scrupulously and
vigorously conduct to its consummation, and
moro if possible. This sentiment is common
with us, wc know, to ?vory son of North Car
olina."

From thc New York Daily New?.
England and France Side with tho Souill
era Confederacy
The intelligence received by thc two steam
ers that have arrived from langland, within
the last four days', is of tho most meanacing
atid alarming description. Following up thc
friendly manifesta tiona already exhibited by
tho Palmerston "Ministry towards the Souvi
ent Confederacy, and tho attitude of indithr
nce it has assumed tu tho wishes of thc Wain
ihgtou Administration, large rei ufo reemo uta
of troops uro about to he puurcd inlu thc Can
adas, and that province is at once, to bc put
upon a war footing. Thc Great Eastern will
arrive on or about "thc 8d and the ( liddon j
rieecc on thc 14th of July, with 3")0U men, I
including a battery of thc ll oyal Artillery,
mid a larger force will bc despatched if neces
sary.
'Thc London Herald openly avows that thc
measures hus been adopted in antagonism to
thc United States, and adds that "it seems
tu bo inevitable that, before long, the question
ufa paper blockade should become a subject
of serious discussion." The London Times
[joes further, and adds that "Washington has
no fairer title over Montgomery than thc King
of Naples has over Sicily." Public sentiment
in Kngland seems generally in fact, tobe grad
ually assimilating with the view of Mr. Gre
gory, that "thc interests of France and Eng
land arc identical on thc American question
and that thc recognition by these two great
powers of tho Southern Confederacy will cause
tho war party in tho North to pause, before
[dunging their countrymen deeper into , the
sad struggle."
Some of our leading journals have been in
?lined to favor the idea of a war with E?g
land, on the ground that the. rivalry between
that country and Frahce would induce Louis
Napoleon to side with the North, for thc pur
pose accomplishing his ends un the continent of
Europe, lt now appears, however that the
Courts of London and Paris have agreed to
idopt tho same policy toward the United
Stales, and consider it to bo for thc advan
tage of both to break down tho unconstitu
tional blockade of tho Cotton ports and ac
knowledge thc (ic/hilo independence of the
Confederate Slates. The Powers of Europe
contemplate the affairs of this hemisphere just
ts they do those of India, Ch i Ita, Africa or 1 tidy
inclusively from the point of view of their own
interests. They do nut caro a straw for us or
?ur institutions, excepting as wo may bo more
jr less eligible as producers or customers.
The beneliit they can derive, from the South
is clear, and its products uro indispensable to
the support of their own population, wdiile
their cummeroo with tho North amounts to
buta comparatively small per eoutago of their
trade with thc re?t of the world. Deprive
them of Cotton, and of four millions of people
in tho United Kingdom, and half that number
in Franco, wuuld be rubbed uf their daily bread
and to a greater or less degree, tho shock
of such a calamity would bc felt hy every in
dividual in both of those countries, insurrec
tions would bo almost inevitathle in thc man
ufacturing districts, and thc very foundations
of society would bo shaken by such convul
sions as it is to bc feared would result from
genera) luck of employaient. Neither Lord
l'aimer on nor the French Emperor will run
thc risk of encountering a catastrophe which
can bo avoided nt thc sinai I cost of hostilities
with an insane government like that of Presi
dent Lincoln, whoso misrule has already been
so stupendous that it will bc thc by-word of
mankind for ages to conic.
N It has been known for over a month, that
communications have been received by Mr.
Jefferson Davis from Mr. Yancy, in which
tho latter gentleman conveys the most glow
ing accounts of thc manner in whioh he had
been everywhere received, and of the pros- j
peet he entertains of securing thc objects of
Iiis mission. A Puris letter, in the Inde
pendence Helge, now asserts that Air. Host,
another of thc Southern Commissioners to
Europe, has had an audience with Lord Pal
merston, and received tl positivo assurance
from the Premier that England will recog
nize tho independence of the Southern States
nt no distant period. It also (pintos Mri
Host as having reported that thc action of
Franco will bc uniform with that of Eng
land, though not simultaneous, nor thc-re
sult of any direct diplomatic understanding
between the two countries.
Tho prediction, some weeks ago, of a cor
respondent of tho Paris Moniteur, is, indeed,
on thc evo of being verified, that " it is not
probable that a blockade will ho recognized
which deprives thc powers of Europe of a
raw material necessary for their manufacture,
rind upon which depends tho daily bread of
millions of their subjects." England and
Franco cannot be. imposed upon, ns aro tho
Northern States, by thc false pretences of
tho administration; nor are tho two greatest
nations on earth to bo frightened by thc fcc-,
blc, ridiculous threat that their rep rosee to
nyes ?t Washington will bo handed their
passports.
Ii) a word, Mr. Lincoln and his advisers,
having brought tho-country to tho vcrgo of
destruction at homo ; substituted a tyranny
for a Uepublican form of govern mont: tramp
led under foot ovory requirement of the Con
stitution, and perpetrated enormities unpar
alled in inodrcn times, huvo finally swaggered
suoh absurd pretensions before foreign nations
thu? thcro is ovory chanco of our being in
volved ii\ a war with both England mid France
bof?ro thc oloso of this year. Is tho United
States prepared to moot suoh un increase of
oinbarassinont ? Hoforo ?many days ii battle
will hr.vo bcou fought in Virginia. Which
ever section is victorious, it will preparo tho
wuy.forrenewed conflicts. God only knows
whore our oivii war will on^. Cnn wo boar
tho suporadded burdon of hostilities with na
timm possessing tho roost poworful fleets and
annies that have ovor existed sinco tho earth
?merged from olmos? AV hon tho American
flag shall no longer wave outside of our harbors;
when our commerce shall have been destroyed
and our shipping annihilated j when our ports
arc, in their turn, blockaded, will any party
jin tho land still continue to applaud thc wick
ed policy-which has plunged the Republic in
to such an abyss of evil? Alas, wc aro already
fallen to such n condition of moral nud physi
cal impotency, that only an interposition of
of the Almighty can recover us.
The Government Loan.
Thc loan for tho defence of the Con fedora to
.States; called fol' by the oct of Congress, is
being most liberally responded to throughout
tho entire South. Thc attention of tho peo
ple in almost every county has been called to
1 the subject, and everywhere the greatest en
I thusiasm is manifested. Planters aro freely
I subscribing their cotton and corn, and those
I who have no crops to pledge arc subscribing
I in money. So universa] a determina lion on
thc part of thc people to lend aid to tho gov
ernment of their choice was never before seen.
There is still room, however, aud those who
who hav? l?ot already subscribed, yet have a
chunco to do so. No one should hesitate in
this matter The bonds of tho government
uro better than any other security that can bo
furnished. They willbring to the holders eight
per cent, per annum, besides being as good
as gold. Interest and patriotism alike call
upon the people of thc South to swell this
loan to as large an amount as possible. No
matter if tho subscription should reach alum
double the wants of tlie government. Thc
effect of such an exhibition bf confidence in
thc stability of the government would be pow
erful abroad.
The staple productions of tho South now
control tho markets of tho world. Nearly
a thousand millions of foreign capital depend
upon the production of cotton tobacco, etc.
In 1'biglaud alone more than live millions of
people are dependent upon tho cotton fields
of the South for the bread they eat. With
out their yearly supply they would bo forced
to starve. Tho extent of this power which
the Southern people hold in their bands eau- i
not well be over estimated. If properly used
it will yet open to the Confederate States the
ports of all nations and bring to our shores
the commerce of evciy land. Ly loaning a
portion of thc crops of the South to thc Gov
ernment, wo clothe it with power ol' the coun
try, and enable it to exert an influence among
those nations with whom it may be desirable
to negotiate.
AV hatt er remains to be done tn this mat
ter should be done quietly. The commission
ers appointed to solicit subscriptions will soon
bo ready to make their report. It is desirable
that every man who bas the means should
take this opportunity of testifying his wil
lingness to support thc cause of the people of
the South. No sacrifice of interest is requir
ed. Tho man who takes a Confederate bond
in exchange for his crop gets thc full value
ofthat crop. The Commissioners for Mont
gomery county publish a "last call"* to thc
people of the county to subscribe. They give
a vory encouraging account of their success
throughout thc county, but wish to inercaso
their hst ns much as possible. For that pur
pose they announce that a meeting will be
hold in tho Theatre, on Thursday night.
Wc hope there will bc a good attendance and
liberal spirit manifested.
The Northern despot bas called for four
hundred thousand men and for four hundord
millions of ?lullars to be '.vscd in subduing the
people of thc South, li ?J minions are now
on Southern soil, plundering and murdering
tho inhabitants. Thc homes of Southern men
arc consigned to the flumes, and their church
es desecrated by the wretches who hnvo been
sent to bind and rivet upon us thc chains of
tyranny, and shall it be said that thc South
ern people hesitated a moment to furnish their
Government with ample means to drive thc
invaders from our soil, and secure thc blcs
singsof Hbcrity and penco i* The answer has
already boen given, and it will be reiterated
