This way of dealing with an accomplished and accepted fact amuses, if it . does not amioy the Tribune. It therefore pays Alabama a Pickwickian compliment as being frank. But, because, forsooth, Alabama does not " gladly and willingly ' put an eiid to the in-, stitution, ergo, Alabama ' is censurable, and not as loyal as Radicals would iavc her. Wliy should Alabama gladly and willingly1" stultify herself ? Why should labaraa, in being wounded, " gladly and wilingly '' ap plaud the wound ? Rather is slip ready and willing to haye the gashes mafle by war, granulated and closed. Rather is she will ing and ready to accept the situation in a sensible and not hypocritical mobd. Alabama is not endowed with j preternatu ral power? ; nor is any other State in ! the South any more than in the Noj-th. These tortured States of the South eaimot recover, with miraculous rapidity froii the deep wounds they bravelv dared, and bow dare as oraveiy to enaure, nor irom tne cnsequcnces of them. These Wounds have tU supperate and cicatrize. The widows,": and orphans, and maimed cannot move through .Alabama, Or Virginia, or any other Southern State, without presenting, in themselves a sobering comment on the " gladly and willingly!1 which tht' Tribune would extort.

Many, we doubt not, will fympathitc with the regret we feel In making the ahnounce menL ,. We deem it our duty to et forth why the publication of the Index A stopped, and also to say a few Vords of farewell. ""This Journal was established on May 1, 1862. Its promoters, thought that a paper representing in an cspt-cial manner the . com mon interests of England and the Southern States would be uetul and prosperous. In Muiy, 182, the prospect of the ; Confederacy seemed gloomjv New Orleans hiul fallen, and General McCMellan with a vast and splendid ly equipped" army was marching on Rich mond.' The South fought campaign after campaign, ' and , gained brilliant Tictoriea. The names of Lee, Jackson, and Stuart be came household words in Europe, ' Later, the names of Grant and Sherman also became famous. l: For more' than three year? the war in America nearly engrossed the attention of the civilized , world, j No wonder j that the Index became more and more absorbed in the great struggle. 5 The 'blockade of the South rendered it necessary for the; represen tatives of r the Confederate government to have some, avowed channel ,of publication ; and, naturally, that position devolved upon this journal. ' Under such circumstances, though we regrettcd-we - had no I right to complain,- that in .Europe we were looked up on as the mere organ of the Confederate gov ernment, and that .we, were , described in the United. States, as v the rebel organ.'! Richmond fell j General Lee surrendered, 1 exas gave up. tne contest, ana the conied cracv was' a" thing of the past. " It1 did not. and indeed does hot, occur cr ns;thkt the downfall of the Confederacy deprived us of a neici 01 useiuiness. ua tne contrary, we thought, and still think, that there are man v problems in course of solution' in Americain which such a journal as the Index might assist, by disseminating information. We thought and still think that the Index would Lbe ot some; advantage as a medium for com merciai intercourse jDetwecn England ana the States. , . We, therefore, continued hur labors. Unfortunatelv we find our usefulness marred by the general impression that this journal had been nothing more than the Confederate organ: We might have battled against this impression and removed it, butcircunistane.es A. 1 1 1 1 it 1 t J uave come 10 our Knowieuge wnicu iorniu the attempt. It is impossible not tb see that the public on both sides of the Atlantic re garded the Index as a kind of protest against the decision of Providence and as the organ of a -new "secession party. 'Ituis hedless for us to declare that such assumptions are en tirely false, but we are unable to 'kdd that they are .manifestly unreasonable, j To sup pose that the continued publication of the Index has a political significance, and that it must heeds be hostile to the United States, is natural, and almost inevitable.

According to report, the showman has Jyrelletithtl the editor, which the cloth of our craft forbid us from enjoying, no matter what the public think of the combat, and of the combatants. The World $ version is as I folio ws T: BARKUM't BAROAIX WITn UKNNKTT. Mr. Bennett had, some time back, cast an pye upon the piece of ground whereon the old Museum stocnl, diagonally opKsitc the Astor House. At the, time, of the, fire Mr. arnumhcld a lease of 1he pncrty : for 12 years, which he, during the week after the conflagration, offered for sale, through the iagency of Homer Morgan, Esq;, for the round jum of $225,000.. 3Ieeting Mr. . Bennett one day, the. fact that the property was in the imarket was broached. , Mr. Bennett likcd the tertiis, and Mr. Barnum stated, the price Jnametl above. Bulwcti'ucntly Mr. Bennett jsent his broker to 3lr. Barnum, with instruc tions to close a Itargain if possible on the)crt terms he could get. . . Meantime Mr. Bennett took care to struri-'! a contract to purchase the fee tf the proper ty from its owner,' Mr. "Sargent, residing a1 Fishkill, on thc.IIudson, for the 'sumv total of ($450,000) four hundred ,iind fifty, ihous- and dollars. Mr. Bennett's broker, lr. Duggan, then closed the matter with Bar num, after beating him down a good aisled . peg, by purchasing the privilege' of the lease for twelve years for two hundred thousand ($200,000) dollars, casli, for whicli amount a check was duly.tenderecl and accepted, and the usual acknowledgments made. A writ ten agreement was also given by Mr. Barnum entitling the purchaser of his lease to tho debris on th6 premises with the except ion of certain iron. pipe, a boiler, a hundred tons of coal, and some other items that wen comid-'; ered as contents of the Museum, and not part or parcel of tlie premises. In the course of.a few days, it .appcara that the editor of the Herald grew Kick of his bargain, or, what is more probable, thought, by feigning a din inclination to conclude the purchase of .the fee, for which he heUl the rcfuhul for a stated period, that 31 r. Sargent might let it go at a moderate figure. In this' calculation Mr. Bennett found himself mistaken, for on sending word to Mr. Sargent that he had concluded hot to purchase,"' that accoinmoda ting gentleman said : "Very well ! Mr. Bcii nett is at liberty to do as he likes and with that sailed for Europe, without leaving his address or offering to abate one jot or tittle from the Urge price named. This unexpected issue left the atute journalist in a position somewhat like that ' 01 the lucKy gentleman who won the ele-. phant in a lottery he had paid two hund-' red ' thousand dollars for an unavailable privilege. ,The situation vexed. him. So ty pick a quarrel, the brilliant editor lost no time in interfering iwith the removal of hi4 -Old neighlmr's hundred tons of Winter coal, which fortunately had escaped jK-ing pre maturely consunied in the geueriil burning.. Further tluui this, he threatencit to- she Phincas for the old. boiler already dug out ffom the ruins and carried off. -rMr. Barnum, we lelieTe, p6 - save clispute, permitted his ohl friend, James Gordon, to h izc the coal intendetifo enhance, the comtort of his . giants, happy family, albinoes, ami intclli- gent seal, during the long Winter months ; but when it came to being Micdfor jiockcting his own boiler. his' Indignation gbt the letter of lienignity. .f Phincas called upon James's lawyer, and soon discovered that the way .to appease thewrath of the illustrious typc wielder was to refund the two hundred thousand dollars and take back the Icac. This, the benevolent Barnum would iiHt unquestionably have done on the fjMjt, but for the fact that hcV'Vhad Hix nt the monev." Really, he had not that sum )out ihim. lie was not prepared to ncinsiler the bar gain, particularly as, on the whole, it heeincd to suit him. Next day the Herald HK'ared without the museum- ad xvttl cmcnt; Tlicn Barnum, as proprietor of the great Broad way show, sought a icronal explamitiou as to .why these things wcrt? thus. ; It win not accorded him. - The public knows how the ret. if tlie hi ugh came in. . ' ; The prospect is that the Iehee of the eli gible real estate at the corner of Bnidway and Ann street will permit the grass to grow . thereon' until the expiration of, twelve years, at which time he will be at liberty to real izo what he can. on his expcmi'e cto of hay. Mean time he might permit our pob- 111c siiritcl citircnM to erect a' statue of the wGule Duke of Argylc,! on tliis fine site. jut to keep the town in miml of how.

" , Other stories arc that Mr. Bennett thought he was buying the whole . ground plot, over which the upper chamlnrrH of the museum stood, whereas he bought only tlie compara dvely small plot upon which was the founda tion." The lee, acconling to . the World t re port, costs OTS 000, 2i 000 . for twelve year's lease, if the fee is not got, being about 150 000 or $200 W0 more than it is worth, "llean while the workmen have stop ped working on the rxnki-rtterfu'rg Kx preM. . ..' 1 v pRKwniinn-'JonxsoyriNtiiH own I..it-' orm.
