" THE MONEY MARKET-THE ?OUTHJ The N?w1 York p?pers notice a ple? thora of money in that city, and say that large amounts are lying in toe banks thero unemployed; thev beiog unwilling , to take lesa than tour per cent, for loans. Nevertheless, large sums are in the hands of leading dealers iu Government securities at three per cent. The prostrate con? dition of. the South) and the heavy drain lipon it to pay the Federal tax, is in great part the cause of thia, plethora in New York. Instead of the South being the medium for the; absorption of the excess of money in the centre of settlement,.she is kept down by the constant drain of taxation. This draft, too, at < this period of general poverty, is doubly oppressive. It takes from the peo? ple the meauB necessary to the culti? vation aud the improvement of the soil. The recovery of the farms is greatly impeded and tho amount of Sroductiou seriously curtailed by this 1 rain. The whole nation suffers from this paralysis of the South. The 'stapled of the South are invaluable in the foreign commerce of the na? tion, and the . curtailment of their production is seriously injurious to the whole country. These facts are so .well understood that we hope the polioy W tho nation will in a few years he improved with n view to the | encouragement of Southern industry, as the best means of promoting the natioual welfare. [Richmond Dispatch. -- ? ?? EGYPT AND THE COTTON SUPPLY. Availing themselves of the presence of tho Viceroy of Egypt in England, a deputation of tho Cotton Supply j Association havo bad au interview with that official, to which the at? tention of American patriots and re constructioniBts is respectfully called. The deputation expressed tho belief that America will not for some time to come bs able to grow cotton to the same extent nor at so low a price as before the war, and therefore urged npon the attention of his Highness the importance of con? tinuing to encourage an increased growth of cotton in Egypt. Con? sidering the brief period in which Egypt enjoyed tho stimulus of high prices for cotton, that country made marvelous progress in cultivating the staple. In thc year 1865 Euglund imported from Egypt 1,578,912 cwt., valued at ?14,300,507-thereby re? ceiving sensible relief from tho mis? eries of the cotton famine. The Viceroy was foremost as an example of private enterprise, introducing machinery on a largo scale into his private estates aud encouraging in-, dustry everywhere throughoiit bis dominions. THE GROWTH OP oint COUNTRY. The New York Post, in au editorial, dwells upon tho rapid march of civilization and commerce Westward, and adds: "Our population, reinforced by an enormous immigutiou from Europe, (it tells us,) is spreading over the continent with marvellous rapidity. There is no longer a 'far West;' the arts and customs of civilization aro already naturalized over nearly the whole of the great region through which Lewis and Clark journeyed at the hazard of their lives little more than half a century ago, and which was then as utterly unknown as a great part of Africa. Tho Rocky Mountains no longer oppose their barrier to our progress; tho Western frontiersman ridicules them instead of fears them; and a Western wit ex? presses, in the peculiar manner of the men who 'sleep on the prairio and drink ont of the rivers,' his contempt for suah slight obstructions, by the romark: 'Wo aro already levelling the Rocky Mountains and on iug the dirt out West; I hau u letter lust week from my cousin, who is liviug 200 miles West of tho Pacific shore, on made land.' " A letter from Mexico says: "Col. Miguel Lopez, the traitor, after sell? ing Maximilian and his generals, wont to Puebla to visit his wifo. His roception was decidedly cool. His wife advanced to raoet him, leading their little son by tho hand, and ad? dressed him thus: 'Sir, here is your sou; we cannot cut him in two-tako him. ?You aro a base coward and traitor. You have betrayed your country and your benefactor. From this hour, wo aro strangers, for I shall this day retire to my family. Go.'" A man in Worcester celebrates his birth-day by getting drunk. The Worcester Gazette says his birth-day comos regularly every fortnight. ?jjt)BSMMaa>ia*?^^ Regulations for Registration. ?j?!< H EAS QlT A ET E UR 2l> HlL.
