Thursday Horning, Dec. 21.1865. The Currency-Pr lee of (?old. The Bichmond Times, of Saturday, dis? coursing under this head, says that gold, which declined to 144, when the general verdict was that tho President's mcssago meant peace, ?nd when it was believed that the President's influence would bc successfully exerted to secure the admis? sion to Congress of th? members elect from the States lately in rebellion, has bounded back to 149$, in consequence of the belligerent spirit manifested in Con? gress, and the evident determination of the majority of that body to exclude the Southern States from representation. The tone of Congress on the latter subject may be gathered from the fact of the adoption by both House? of Stevens' resolution for the appointment of a joint committee of fifteen to inquire into the condition of tho Southern States, and report whether they er any of thom are entitled to bo represented in either House of Congress, with leave to report at any time, by bill or otherwise. Its belligerent spirit is .-bown in the preamble and resolu? tions introduced simultaneously in both Houses, relative to the French occupation and operations in Mexico. These resolu? tions were almost identical, and were re? ferred by each Honse to its Committee on Foreign Relations. We give that introduc? ed in the Senate by Mr. Wade: " Whereas, in a letter of instructions dated July 3, 1862, directed to General Forey, commanding the French forces in Mexico, the Emperor of the French in? dicated his policy concerning the affairs of this continent by declaring that it was his intention to establish a monarchy in Mexico, 'which would restore to the Latin race on this side of the Atlantic all its strength and prestige, guarantee security to the French West India colonies and those of Spain; secure tho interests and establish tho influence of France in thc centre of America, and prevent tho pooplo of the United States from taking posses? sion of tho Gulf of Mexico, from which they would command the Antilles and South America, and so become thc only dispensers of the products of thc New World." "And irhn-cas, in pursuance of said ?>olicy, an attempt has been made to estab ish a monarchy in Mexico, contrary to the wishes of the people, and to support Maxi millian in his usurpations by European soldiery. i: And whereas, among other acts con? trary to the Mpirit of the age and humani? ty, the so-called Emperor of Mexico, by a decree and regulation dated September 5, 18G5, practically re-establishes slavery in his dominions; and by a decree dated October 3, 18G?, bas violated tho usages of civilized warfare by denying to the Mexi? can Republican troops the rights of belli? gerents, and ordering their execution wherever found, within twenty-four hours .after capture: " Be it therefore resolved, by the Se?ale and Ilouse of Representatives of the United I States, in Congress assembled: j "1. That we contemplate tho present j condition of affaira in the Republic of I Mexico with the most profound solicitude. t;,2. That the attempt to subject one of the Republican Governments o? this con? tinent by a foreign power, and to establish on its ruin a monarchy sustained solely by European bayonets, is opposed to the declared policy of thc United States Go? vernment, offensive to the people, and contrary to the spirit of our institutions. " 3. That the President of tho United States bo requested to take such stops concerning this grave matter, as will indi? cate the recognized policy and protect the honor and interest of our Government." So long as the Union in kept in a disject? ed condition by the radical majority, and au early foreign war is a possible event, not all the genius of the Secretary of thc Treasury and all tho specie at his com? mand, will keep down the price ot gc dd. Export Tux. Mr. Bingham's joint resolutions propos? ing to amend the Constitution for the purpose of authorizing an export tax on cotton and other Southern products, will be powerfully supported. The Philadel? phia Press thinks that the Southern peo? ple will not object to their tax. It says: "The idea that any opposition to this amendment of the Constitution should com?- from the South is absurd, when we recollect that in tho Constitution of the so-called 'Confederate State* precisely this privilege was reserved as a measure of self-protection and self-defence. It was, indeed, thc necessary preparation for tho S< nth, had they succeeded in winning their independence, for that system of manufacturing, without which, according to Governor Orr and other sensible au? thorities, they are now so immeasurably suffering." . Undoubtedly the cotton States will op? pose the measure. Thcv wish to supply the world with cotton, and thereby re? cover somo portion, at least, of the im? mense wealth they formerly enjoyed. BALTIMORE AND LIVERPOOL.- Baltimore papers exult in the success of the ir -steam line to Liverpool, tho pioneer ship Somer? set having returned under favorable con litions, and three cargoes of freight are said to bo already waiting for thc next ?teamer. Where Doti It Com? From! Thc Richmond Times says that thc most hopeful sign of returning prosperity which has yet come under their notice is tho fact, I heretofore noticed, that thc Lynchburg commission merchants hare scarcely been able to forward ?lithe cotton-that great rival of gold -which has been consigned to their care. Wo copy a second article from the Republican on the same subject, confi? dent that it will be pleasant reading to all who think seriously as to whence the South is to draw even money enough to pay her taxes: "This importan* product ol tho South han been coming in by the Virginia aud TonncRseo Railroad in such quantities that it has blocked up all thc linea of transpor? tation heretofore open to it. The Orange and Alexandria Railroad has been its main dependence, and such has bern thc de- ? maud upon this road that it was found im- j possible*to curry the cotton forward aa ru- j pidlv as it came in. Shippers will be pleased to learn that arrangements have bren made by which tho South-side Railroad ? can accommodate their shipments of cot- | ton-thus opening another avenue to thc Northern market. Ry this route, cotton is taken from Lynchburg to City Tobit, and there shipped on board of vessels to "North? ern porte. Two boats-the Ella Scott and the Pocahontas-went down to Robinson's Mills, yesterday, with loads of cotton for thc South-side Road. The bridges below the city are being rapidly pushed forward, and we aro glad to learn that it will not be long before this important line will be free from obstruction between Lynchburg and Petersburg, and prepared to accommodate any amount of freight or travel."
