OUR WAR DEBT.
IIOW CAtt IT EVER BE PAID.
This question, although often gravely
asked, ought, in the miud oC-uny intelligent,
loyal American, to be auswered only with
smile.
Before the rebellion our cotton crop wrs
estimated at over four millions of bales of
five hundred pounds each. A tax on this
one article of five cunts per pound would
amount to one hundred millions of dollars.
Add to this an export duty on two and a
hitlf millions of bales, as the average in fu
ture of our exports, of two and a half cents
a pound, will give over thirty millions of
dollars more. This is without estimating
how much tlieso rates may be increased
without distressing our people, when the
production of cotton shall be much reduced
in cost by the change from sluvo to free
labor.
Take the other productions of the South
which Europe must have, and which will
stand a heavy tax without being felt by the
people, both for export and home consump
tion, and add thereto the amount of tux
which can be placed upon our mining oper
ations, and there is a fund at once provided
amply sufficient to provide for the principal
of a debt of say four thousand millions of
dollars, and that long before our creditors
will be willing to receive the money leaving
manufacturing establishments, to pay the
interest and assist in reducing the principal.
Suppose we come out of tho war with a debt
of tour thousand millions of dollars (the
1. .. . ..1.1- 1 1 .1
ut iwiviu nun a m Kill n iutr
.land millions), deduct from this snv live
' huudred millions of dollars,
I people will cludly lend the
which the
government
without any interest for the udvuntHcre of
having the circulation, then we have three
thousand five huudred millions on which to
pity interest, and this sum will then, without
a dotif.f, readily command a premium on a
rate oT live per cent., which is per annum,
say $173,000,000
To pay this yearly interest we
siiull Have our foreign uuties,
say over $100,000,000
And our manufactures of spirits
aud other luxuries will yield
fcly 75,000,000
173,000,000
And ail ttiii can be done with our present
papulation, without anybody being in the
least degree distressed by taxation, lu ad
dition will be the ordir.arv expenses of the
govern nun t,S ttr which the present consump
tion of tobacco will yield an adequate reve
nue. Our popuLitiojI will not gtop at thirty
millions, but will vvm he forty millions,
which will increase the foreign duties in a
greater proportion, hi!o the principal of
our deU will le rnpMly lessening.
Suppose, instead of two thousand millions,
as we now owe, tlie war should involve us
in a debt of eilxt thousand inilliocs, a tax
of live jier cent, on all Kales in the United
States per annum, excluding sales of real
estate and stocks, acourding to the estimate
of the Hoard of Trade, would probaMy pay
the whole principal of the dclt in tivujly
years, perhaps in a much less time. This
tax no one would feel er kwoiv iu this coun
try as a calico selling at ten eiits would
pay but hull a cent a yard, ami a coat pat
tern at five dollars per yard, would pay Indi
rectly but fifty cents. These ('.ilfci'cnces !
would amount to less than the ordinary
llucttmtions from week to week occasioned
by natural supply and demand, und the
people, unless tliey wvro told, need never
know comparatively that any taxes exist.
Three years ago our government appre
hended more difficulty iu borrowing twelve
millions of dollars at 12 per cent, per annum
timti they now do in borrowing twelve hua- j
dred millions at 0. ier cent. So wouder. :
when we did not kuow ourselves-that Eu-!
rope did r.ot understand us.
It w ill soon be understood in Etiropo tiuit
our loans, even at three per ent., ate the
best loans iu the world. One important
reason is, we can pay them wheu duo with
out inconvenience, und our resources are so
ample- that no disposition can ever exist to
repudiate. Within ten years past we Iwe
read the advertisement of the Secretary of
the Treasurer offering, in vain, to buy from j
our European creditors our six per cent. ,
loan at sixteen per cent, premium. We
predict that, within ten years to come, we
shall read another advertisement offering
the same or a larger premium tor our five
percent, loans, ami this will be the case,
be our debt two thousand or four thousand
milliivne.
Heretofore we have been educated to be
lieve that the judgment of tho European
bankers was infallible. That delusion, in
the American mind, will soon l.c exploded.
The English capitalists have embarked hun
dred ol millions fHiling in enterprises, few
of w hich in the miud of the most credulous
among them, ever promised one-tenth part
of tUts Certain lurge profits and sure returns
as is now presented for their consideration
in the United State. In confirmation of
this let us examine what cau be done.
First Government sixea can lo bought
at oar. $3,000 invested in New York on Eng
lish account would only require a draft on
Londou for '650. Exchange being, say 172,
would in lact make our six per ceuts. coat
in England only 03 cents on the dollar. A
soon tut peace come these stock will com
mand twenty-five per cent, premium. Iu
1414 they told at titty six cent on the dol
lar, aud iu 1813, within four month after
I ho pence, they sold at 12tfc It I true our
debt wa then small in comparison with that
of the present day ; and it i alto true that
the crouker of lull had much more Inllu

ment than tlie croaker of lttil have had :

stand him at only $31,720 ; and on this be
will have (instead f only 6 per cent.) ten
per cent, on his investment. When peace
takes place he can, should he wish to do so,
then re-sell, and make the above profit on
the fall of exchange. The investing in real
estate by foreigners is at present attended
with some little embarrassment, which is
and can be easily obviated by those having
agents in this country. Heal estate is not
indated in value, as the average price now is
not probably as high as when our banks
paid specie.
In 1S37 our banks, bankers and merchants
nearly all failed. Confidence was entirely
prostrated. Tho croakers gave ample evi
dence, in their own estimation, that tho
banks could not resume in twenty years,
and the most timid of them doubted if they
ever would. In the midst of all this distrust
our late esteemed citizen, James G. King,
Esq., went to England, and by the aid of his
own high personal character and intelligence
gave such explanations to the English bank
ers as induced the Bank of England to lend
our banks tlvc millions in gold. This move
ment scattered the croakers, and enabled
the banks to resume within twelve months,
and to stand again with that unimpaired
credit they had so long enjoyed, and to
which they have ever proved themselves to
be so fully entitled. ...
As we now look back upon Mr. King's
efforts to secure confidence, it should be re
membered that five millions was then more
than one hundred millions would bo now;
We now want another leading, bold man, to
go forward and open the eyes of Europe A
company could bo formed in New York
which would glndly take one hundred mil
lions of five-twenties, provided European
bankers would advance three-fourths of the
cost for a term of three years at six per cent,
per annum. This would, at the present rate
of exchange, give a profit to the company of
say thirty-seven millions of dollars as sunn
as the rebellion is crushed, which, in the
opinion of every sane man, must speedily be
done. Our government, and all the loyal
States, are now in high credit. At the time
of the former loan from the bank of England
the bonds of the State of Xew York, six per
cents, could not be sold at eighty and
could not have been sold nt all had not the
legislature given an assurance that no more
State debt should be contracted. The Uni
ted States credit was prostrated. Illinois
and Indiana State fix per cents were freely
offered at eighteen anil nineteen per cent.,
including to the buyer more back unpaid
interest than was charged for tho whole
bond, interest and nil. So prostrated was
credit that even the State of New York
.could not co on with the enluruimcnt of
the Erie Canal. Now ' we contemplate
making it a ship canal with less hesitation
than wo then did the finishing of the en
largement. Eeforc closing this long article
let us go back to the time when the tirt
loan of the State of New York was adverti
sed ,Jbr building a part of the Erie Canal in
1817. Before the survey was made the law
required that the loans" to build the canal
should be advertised in sums of two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars.
The first loan was so advertised for sixty
days, and not a bid was made for it : but a
few of the old sterling men in Albany caused
one ot tiieir hanks to take it in order to save
tile canal. Very soon the first $2oU,0l0 was
fcpciit, and the second sum, same amount,
was duly advertised ; not a single bid was
mdc! for it. Fortunately for the State and
j couutry these same sterling men caused the
I bunk tl taku it. Before the next 2o0,000
was-wantcd Air. King's hou.-o (IVinie, Ward,'
King & Co.,) introduced rtie loan to the
continents! bankers, mid thus established in
Europe the credit of the State of New York.
In the meantime, however, Governor Dcwitt
Clinton had been utmost driven to despair
by tl5 extreme difficulty of raising money,
with the credit of the State nt his command,
w Inch lielorc had never probably even been
questioned. W'e cau Uxik. back fifty years
und see w hut has been our crow th. what

That feature of '.he war, tlie intelligent
and trustworthy contraband, who baa diap-

months, reap pea re. I in the city this morning
am Uis information has been sonsi.lercd of
6l much importance as to have occupied
manv hours of the attention both of General
HMfcck and of tho Secretary of War. He

wise "rembertou," who lias been for nearly

Mavis, and is well knowu as such by the
old resident of this city. Ho only arrived

the tortu cf strong iueidcuts, such a servant
waiting at table would naturally pick up.
Of thu domestic ineuage of Air. Davis, In
pictures are very full, lint first to givo tho
point whfeh. appear of great public interest.
lie says that Jetlerwui Lhivis, in private
conversation, is unreserved in urging the
abandonment of Virginia, as a line of de
fence no longer tenable. That he has heard
Mr. Davis in conversation with confidential
meuilMirsof the ati-ralled Government, declare
frequently that Yirginin had been used for
all it wa worth ; that it had proved a shield
of immense valuo iu fending off tho devasta
tion of war Iroiu tho rice and cotton States,
which were the natural heart and body

Tbe talk is not about going to Columbia,
S. C, but to some city in Unorgia, Jim
henrd a gentleman ank Mr. Davis at the
table, where Alexander (Stephens was, w ho
has not attended Congress this session, and
who is said not to have visited Mr. Davis'
house or offico for over a year. Davis re
plied that ho had heard that Stephens had
gone to Europe, but he bad not thought it
worth while to imiuiro what had become of
him.
Jim accompanied Davis in his recent tour
around the Confederacy, and describes the
following scene as having occurred on the
summit of Lookout Mountain : Looking
down one bright day from the lofly eminence
commanding a clear view into four States,
and a very distant view into a fifth, Davis
saw the Yankees almost beneath his feet,
across the valley, working like beavers on
their fortifications. "I liavo them now,''
said lie, "in jus the trap I set for them."
To which Lleutenant-Guieral I'emberton,
who was sitting on horseback beside him,
replied, '"Mr. Davis, you are Commander-in-Chief,
and you aro here. You think the
enemy are in a trap, and can be captured hy
vigorous assault. I have been blamed for
not having ordered a general attack on the
enemy when they were drawing around me
their lines of circumvuliation at Yickslmrg.
Do you now order an attack upon those
troops down there below us, and I will bet
you my life that not one man of
the attacking column will ever como back
across that valley except as prisoners."
V hen Davis was passing through Xortli
Carolina he only stopped nt Wilmington to
consult with General Whiting. While there
ho was pressed by a numerous delegation of
Confederate office-holder to stop in Kalcigh
for consultation with Governor Vance.
This he angrily declined. It appears that
the health of Mn Davis is rapidly breaking
dow n under his neuralgia attacks, insomuch
that ho can no longer uso his only good
eye. by candle light, lie contiur.es his old
habit after dinner of stretching himself on
the carpet before the fire in a room other
wise unlightcd, and it h fast becoming
dangerous for any one to approach him,
Always of a violent and fretful temper,
thin is becoming greatly aggravated by his
misfortunes, and Jim declares him on one
occasion ns Hinging nbottt the chairs and
furniture wheu no 'disturbed. About four
weeks ago a pistol exploded in his room
when lie was loading it, and the whole
ftiuiilv rushed up, feeling conlidont that, as
they had long feared, he had committed
suicide.
Jim says that Mrs. Davis, iu conversation
with fenialo friends, frequently talks of the
Confederacy as hopeless, ami is loud iu
regrets for the lost pleasures of Washington.
There U no forage except in the Mississippi
Department, and the allowance for Davia
two horses is two quarts of corn each per
day, on which, says Jim, they are growing
thin. Not long time ago Mr. Davis received
a present of twenty turkeys, the food for
which now comes from tlie com rations of,
the quadrupeds, n.aking them still thinner.
A turkey, Jim says, lasts the family three
days, rousted or broiled the first day, coid
the next, aud hashed the third.
Mr. Davis receives no company, has no
wine in his cellar, but has several kegs of
brandy sent fic m blockade runners at Wil
mington. Jim says that Mr. Davis told him
that the Yankees "had killed all the people
whom they hud found on his Mississippi
plantation, and that they were all found
lying pigglety, piggicty iu'a hole, their legs
and arms cut off, and, in sonic cases, their

A letter from Arkansas gives the follow

remarkable men w ho have lived in tho South

Hit is now a refugee in the mountains of
Southern Arkansas, and is said to bo occu
pying his liesuru time in the composition of
two works ono on the "Art of War," anil
another on "Civil Government," which is
said he proposes to publish. Soldiers who
saw him in tiie bait li of I'ea Kidge, whe.e
he led the Cherokee Indians, whom he had
seduced from their allegiance to tho Gov
ernment of tho United States, describe him
us a noble-looking white-haired man, of very
imposing appearance. Citizens here tell lue

leader, and his friends here did not deny

William Ilickling Prescott, the historian,
born nt 8alem, New England, on tho fourth
of May, 1700, died nt Hoston, on the 28th
January, 18"jt, in his sixty-third year. c
yond question, all ciisumstanccs considered,
he was the mont remarkable among the men
of letters which our country wo might say,
which our tim. haa produced. Tlie diffi
culties he had to contend, wilh, from al
most total deprivation of sight; the trouble
he must havo had to imbue his mind with
knowledge, by aid of a reader; the heavy
tasks which ho must have imposed upon his
memory; tho painful industry with which
he composed his voluminous, accurate, and
brilliant work, making chapters in his
mind ere they were set down upon paper;
the perseverance with which, despite bis
defective vision and alway s feeble health.
lie carried out Ins high purpose ol author
j ship ; the patience which sustained him
tlirougli ins laoors ami Ins sullenngs; the
utter nbrence of personal vanity or pride,
when the world hailed him as one of its
greatest men ; the trusting faith in nh nil
wise 1'rovidenco which so well sustained
him ; the silken tics of affection and regard
which bound him not ouly to his family
low that he could not sit up in bed. l;ut
his mind was calm and clear, ar.d lie wa3
able to civc a distinct account of the acci
dent that had befallen him, and of what
had preceded and iollowed it.
"Under such circumstances, no active
treatment was deemed advisable. (Jtik't
was strictly prescribed. Whatever could
I tend to the least excitement, physical or
intellectual, was forbidden. And then Na
ture was left to herself. This, no doubt,
was the wisest course. At any rate, the
system, which had at first yielded so alarm
ingly to the shock, gradually recovered its
tune, anu iu a few weeks ho returned to
Cambridge, and pursued bis studies as if
nothing very serious had happened ; a little
more cautiously, perhaps, in some respects,
but probably with uo diminution of such
very moderate diligence as he had previous
ly practised. Iiut tho eve that had been
j struck was gone. No external marls, either
then or alterwarus, indicated the injury
I that had been inflicted ; and although a
j glimmering light was still perceptible
I through the ruined organ, there was none
that could bo made useful tor any ot the
piactical purposes of life. On a careful
examination, such as I once made, with
magnifying lenses, nt his request, under the
direction of a distinguished oculist, a dif
fcrence could iudced bo detected between
the injured eye and the other and some
times, as I sat with him, 1 have thought
that it seemed more dim; but to common
observation, in society or in tho streets, as
in the well-know n case of the author of tiiu
; roruAiise Lost.' no chance was wcrceutible
i lt was in f.,ct a caso of 0i,tcurt deep
j ,,arlvsjs ,,f t)lu rctjnai nnj ns was
j b,.Vouu the reach of the healiug art from
tll", niomeiltthe blow was given."
After a time he was able to return to
College, where ho completed his course,
and then ho commenced thu study of law,
Ihs father's profession. Acute rheumatism
settled in his sound eye, preventing rending
and study, and threatening to terminate in
total blindness. He was sent off to Em-ope,
to consult the best oculists there, and left
lio-ton, in the autumn of 1815, tor tlie
Azores, to winter with his maternal grand
father, who was U. S. Consul nt St. Mi;-haelV
Here, immediately after his arrival, his eye
again heenmo diseased, and he had to re
main, in a dark room and upon low diet,
for three months. Ho did not reach London
until April, 1S10, cud employed tho follow
ing year in travel through England, France,
and Italy. The oculists whom he consulted
told him that there a as complete paraly-i
!n the eye originally injured, and tlu.t the
other could only bu strengthened by
strengthening .the whole system. There
was no use, therefore, in pursuing law on
his return homo. Fortunately, his father
was lu easy circumstance. On his twenty
fourth birth day, in lS'it, ho married Miss
Amcty, still urviwng.

Woin.cn criticisa you, not unjustly, perhaps
but relentlessly. They judge you in details,
men only in tho whole. If your dress is
neat, well-fitting and well-toned, men will
not notice it except a few men milliners,
and a few others who ought fo be, and to
w hoso opinion we pay no regard. If you
will only sit .still, hold up your head, and
speak when you aro spoken to, yu can bo
very comfortable. I do not mean that men
caunot and do not appreciate female bril
liancy, but if you nro a good listener, and
in the receptive mood, you cart spcud an
hour pleasantly without it. Bat a woman
finds out in the first three minutes that tho
fringe on your dress is not A mutch. In
four, sho has discovered that the fringe on
your sleeves is frayed Rt the edge. In live,
that the binding of the heel of your boot is
worn out. Ey the sixth, she has satisfac
torily ascertained, what she suspected thu
first moment she set eyes upon you, that
yon trimmed your bonnet yourself. Tho
seventh assures her that your collar is only
"imitation ;" and when you parL, at tho
end often minutes, she has calculated willt
tolcrablo accuracy the cost of your dress,
has levelled her mental eye glass at all your
little subterfuges, and knows to a dead
certainty your past history, present cercum
slanccs and your future prospects. Vell,
what harm if she does! None in particular.
It is only being stretched on the rack a little
w hile. You have no reason to be ashamed.
Your boots arc onlv beginning to be shabby.
ainl we all kuow the transitory nature of
galloon. Your fringe is too datk, but you
ransacked the whole city and did your best;
"angels could uo no more' iou trimmed
your I nun net yourself, und saved two dollars
which was just what you intended to do.
"The means were worthy-end the ends were
won." Your laco is not real, by the cant of
the shop keeper ) but it is real real cotton,
seal linen or real siik, or whatever it mar
tbe, nnd-you never pretended it was Tloniton
or point ; and it lace is sou, and tine, and
sets off the thfrr.it prettily-1 do not see why
it mrvy nut be just as well made in America
for two .cents a yard, as in Paris for two
dollars or two hundred. In fact, this whole
matter of lace is something entirely beyond
my comprehension. Why, I havo seen
women who in the ordinary affairs' of life,
were neat to a fault, fail down and worship
a bit of dingy old yellow lace that looked
lit for nothing but the washtub, aud w hen
remonstrated with, excuse themselves by
saying, "why, it is fifty years or five hun
dred years old," which may be a very lucid
explanation, but I canuot say I l'uily under
stand and appreciate it.

A I.csral Anecdote.
Tlie K'Uiul r..'? 'c of last week has some
thing over a column of plcasaut gossip
about "Washington Irving, in the course of
which occurs the following anecdote related
to Ex-President Van Iluren, of the celebrated
legal orator, Elisha Williams, of Columbus
County :
lio was a most graceful sneaker, and his
voice, particularly in its pathetic tones, waa
melody itself. All who remember Ogden
Hofi'iiian's voice (he was called "tho Flute'
by his fellow-members cf the bar of New
York) can appreciate tho mellifluous organ
of Mr. Wiliiai-.w, His power over a jury
was astonishing. JIo swayed them as with
the wand ot an enchanter ; n'ld it was very
seldom that he failed to s-ectue a ve-rdict tor
his client. Put on tine occasion he did, in
such a perfectly ridiculous manner that a
crowdeil court, anil grave judge oil the
bench, were convulseel with laughter at the
burlesque of the re-suit, ile w as completely
discomiitted by an jjjnoraut, impudent,
unlettered pettifogger, who knew not a
particle of law, but somehow or other had
obtained the credit of shrewdness, anil the
reputation among his farmer neighbors of
being hard to beat.
Thu case, if we remember ri;;lit!y, was nn
act of murder. Mr. Williams, of course, en
the ground of his power over the jury, wss
for the defence. His peroration was exceed
ingly touching ami beautiful :
"Gentlemen of the Jury," said he, "if you
can find this unhappy prisoner at tho bar
gni'ity cf thu crime with which he is charged
after the adverse and irrefragible arguniauis
which I have laiel before you, pronounce
your fatal verdict. Send him to lie iu chains
upon his donj-jou floor, waiting the deatii
w hich he Is to receive at your hands; then
go to tho bosom of your families go lay
your head on your pillows and i'cp, if yen
can
The t-flcct of these closing words of tlie
great legal orator was at first thrilling; but
by-nnd-by the pettifogger, who had volun
teered to follow-the prosecuting attorney,
ftnso and said:
"Gentlemen of tho Jury : I should despair
after the Weeping speech which has been
maile to you by Mr. Williams, of wiving
anything lo do away with its eloquence. I
never heard Mr. Williams (.peak that piece
of his'u better than what bespoke it just
now. Once 1 heard him speak it in a case
of stealing, down to Schaghticoke ; then ha
spoke it ag'in in a case of rape, up to
.Ksopus; and tho last time I bearet it, before
jUbt now, wa when ineai nigger was tried
anil convicted, too, they was for robbing
Vim Pelt' hen-house, over lieyond Kingston,
Hut I never know'd him to speak it in so
elegant and ellcctiu' as what bespoke itjest
uow i"
This wa a poser ! Tle jury looked at one
snot her, whi-pcrcd together, aud our petti
fogger taw at once that he had got Ibem.
lie stopped at once closing wilh the siugle
re niais, :
If you can't seo, gentlemen of the jury,
that tl'ii one speech don't answer all cases,
Jhcu there' uo use I of my tayiu j anytliiug
luore I"'
And there wasn't ; he had made lilt ca,
uud ll.ey awardud l ieu their verdict.
