federate Government is destroyed aad it is

then, what will be the worth of real estate,
bank note currency or any other property in
the South? Being at the mercy of the ruth

: Most assuredly it will, for laws in view of
this condition of affairs have already been
enaoted by the Abolition Congress, and we

. Tbeoomments of the English press on the sub
ject of the emancipation proclamation : of Fresi
dent Liincoln, show that .the issue of that state pa
per -w regarded as a measure of the highest im
portance. Its probable effects and oonsequeneeB
are canvassed with an unusual degree of earnest
ness and anxiety by British writers ot every shade
of opinion in homo politics.
The aggregate expression of the London news-
papersoa; he jummea up as an unqualified con
demnation .by the English people of the principles
and policy of the abolitionists f the North, who
are classified as "fanaiica" wishing to perpetuate
an "outrage on humanity" by the initiation of a
negro insurrection. The idea of a gradual aboli
tion of slavery, or even its immediate extinction,
was still entertained with terror;' but it is evident
that England doubts Mr. Lincoln's power to en
force his decree. And thinks it can be carried out
by force ocly.
lhe London Times Aoa Post are as hostile as
ever to the North, while the London News, the
orgn of Exeter Hall, writes an editorial treatise
against slavery, but avoids ail reference to Mr.
Lincoln or the proclamation. The London Star
thinks that Mr. Lincoln has accurately calculated
his power to carry out emancipation on the 1st of
January, and anticipates meantime the Degroes
"meeting in war council" and then "striking" for
"freedom." The Manchester and Liverpool pa
pers express the opinion that the North cannot
pertect tne design of Mr. Lincoln.

The population of the Con federate States comprise

I think I may confidently assume as the pub

these States from the late United States is 'fincA

could the war be continued to their extermination-can
they ever be restored to the repudiated

tend to bring the war to a close a war to be
waged henceforward hopelessly by our enemy
and at which humanity shudders.
In reply to your inquiry as to what effect re

Again, you are aware that the war has com

of putting down an alleged rebellion. Our recog

that a rebellion if eser one existed had been
brought to an end, nd that there stood in place
of it, as acknowledged by them, a separate, eov
