National. Debts :and U, 8, Stocks.
The creation of national debts is not
a modern improyement,.but the ability
of a great' riatiottto provide fora great
debt, and to make it the most conve
nient and beat form of personal prop
erty, is a modern
. wonder. The debt
of Great Britain was begun by raising
a million,sterling,by loan in 1692, and
when her great contest with Louis
XIV. was terminated, the debt bad
reached , fifty millions. Many states.
men and:economists. were then alarrn
•ed at the great burden which haci• been.
dmposed on the industry, of the coca
try, but When' the war of the Austrian
succession had swelled the amount- to
eighty millione,, Macaulay saps th 4
historians and orators pronounced the
case tn:rbe desperate. But when war
again biolte out, and the national debt
was rapidly carried up to one hundred
and faty,raillions, meg of .theory and
busineeirboth p'reivounced that the fa
tal dayltad,certainly arrived. David.
Hume said..that, although, by taxing
its energies to-the - utmost, the country
&night possibly Hie through it, the ex
periment must never be repeated,—
.even, a. small increase might be fatal.,
Granville said the nation must sink un
der it unless some portion of the load
was , borne by the American colonies,
and the attempt to impose this load
produced, the war of the revolution,
and, instead of diminishing, added ano
ther bLundred millions to the burden.
Again, says Macaulay,, was England
:given-.over, but again she was more
prosperous than over before. But
when at the close of her Napoleonic
wars in 1816, this debt had been swell
ed up to the enormous sum of over
eight hundred millions sterling, or
four thoasand three hundred' million
dollars, or nearly one half the entire
property of the United Kingdom, the
stoutest heicrt,. the firmest believer in
national progress" and national devel.
opment, 'Might well have been ap
palled. But in the very face of this
mountain obligation, 7 -to say noth
ing of her vast colonial possessionr—
the property of the. British nation
bas been more than trebled, and her
debt is now a charge of but 12/ per
cent against-it.' All that Great Brit
ain has done in paying her debt, we
shall do, and more, with ours. We
have vast territories untouched by the
plo,C'Mines oftill precious metals of
wliieli '.we have hardly opened the
doors, a population full of life, energy,
enterprise and industry, and the ac
cumulated wealth of mono" and la
bor of the old countries poliring into
the lap of our giant and ever-to-be
united republic. During the fiercest
and most exhausting of all possible
wars, we have demonstrated our an
ti
vmtstrongth; and all tho world over,
its , tionriljstrength is but another name
for national credit. "As good as Uni
ted Stocks" Will soon be synoymous
the world over` - with "as good as Brit
ish 4 onsols." For our part, we think
aU. S. Treasury note, bearing seven
arid three-tenths annual interest, is
just as much better than - British Con
sols ,as the rate of interest is higher.
Someotour timid brethren, who ship
ped their gold toLondon and invested
in Consols, are now glad, to sell out
And invest at home at a round loss,—
and serVes . them right.

Small pox 64, in stockade 4151; total
12878. • Six additional wero hanged in

A HEWARD FOR JEFF. DAVIS'.—The
time has eventually arrived, but . too
late we fear, in which the Government
has adopted the policy of offering a
reward for Jefferson Davis andfhis
brother criminals. The 'sum—One .
hundred thousand - ,dollara—islarge • to
pay, for the worthless head of such a
scamp, but its exorhitancy renders the
probability of a . seareh and capture
more certain - . The Government - nn-
thoritice must .know bettor , than \Vp
the extent of the crimes committed
by Jeff. Davis, or else they would not
have offered such a high reward. The
people of the North know, however,
that the • Capthre'Orthe useless lied& of
Jeff. would be exceedingly valuable in
.the end, and the reivard:in •oni. - esti!
matfett, is not any too high. .It is just
such men as the traitor Davis- 7 —in fact,
Davis'is the very man—that theinsul.
ted peOple of the North desire to see
stretching hemp, and . ,thtis making of
them.ari example and. a, warping to
all traitors. The high rewards offered
load us to think that it would bo the
most ignominious death that Davis and
hie fellows would receive at the. hands
of the. Governinent.
As the proclamation reads,.the re•

Address of Generol Cameron
.9nEsInENT:I have only, ono
word to say; a large number of pea
pleonombers,of the Ucion and rept),
lican. party, met at Harrisburg last
Thursday, and, appointed this commit
tee to come and pay their respects to
you. W have nothing to desire but
the prosperity of yourrAdministration,
and havo ample confidence in, your
ability—a confidence derived from
your past history. Your : first great
act is to close up this war, and we take
it forgranted, you will act not only:
.wisely, but justly. I also take it. for
granted that the . men who brought on
this war will meet the full reward of
their guilt, while we - believe the mere
deluded instruments-onght to be suf
fered to go along their wonted way
and to do the best they can. We can•
not doubt that the men who made the
war—who have killed in battle thous
ands Of our sons and, brothers, and
who have suffered 'other thousands to
,die from. starvation in loathsome pris
ons—will be permitted to live in` the
country which they havo disgraced
and denounced; and we hope that yen
will find some way to take care Of
them :and to save, and reunite the
country, There aro none. hero who
have come from any desire for place
for themselves or their relations; they
aro substantial' men from all parts of
our great State, who have no interest
so strong as to interpose with love ...of
country.., They ~hope and believe you
will bring, the cenntry out of its pres
ent trouble; and, above all things,-they
feel assured that, by your - .hand, no
arrangement for peace will be. made
that,does not put an end to slavery
forever.
The President's Reply.
Mr Chairman and -Gent
can only reply in general:ten:it's; and,
perhaps, as good a reply as I can
make would be to refer or to repeat
what I-have already said to other del
egations, who have come for the par
poso of encouraging and inspiring, pie
with confidence on entering upon the
diet:barge of duties so responsible, so
perilous. All that could now say
'would be but a reiteration of senti
ments already indicated. The
: words
you have spoken aro most fully and
cordially accepted and responded to
by me. I,.toci, think the time linstir
rived when the people of this nation
should understand that .treason is a
crime. When wo turn to the catalogue
of crime, wo find that most'of those
contained in it are understood ; but the
crime of treason haS•neither been gen
erally understood nor generally appro
elated, as I think it, -- should be; and
there has been an effort, since this re
bellion commenced, to. Make the im
pression. that it, was a more political
struggle, or :as I see it thrown out in
some of the papers', a struggle for as.
cendaney of certain principles from the
dawn of the Government to the pres
ent time, and now settled.by the final
triumph of the Federal turns. If this
is to be a detorthined, settled idea and
opinion, the Government is at an and,
for no question can .arise but, they will
make it a party issue; and then to
whatever length they carry it, the
party defeated
. N vitt be "only a' party
defeated, and .no crime attaches there
to. But I say treason is a .erime, the
highest crime knOwn to . the law, and
the people Might to understand it, end
be taught to know that unless it-ho so
considered them can bone Govern
ment. I do not say this to indicate a
rerengeful or improper spirit.. It is,
simply the enunciation of deliberate
consideration and temperato.judgment;
There• are men .w bo Ought , to suffer
