N, - ,w we do confidently predict that
Messrs. Pierce and Guthrie will both
find themselves mistaken—that they
do not appreciate the extent and
severity of the commercial revulsion
now upon us—and that the revenue
for the three remaining quarters of
pre,ent fiscal year will not amount to
542,500.000, nor will that of the en
, suing fiscal year amount to E-62,500,000,
as the Secretary of the Treasury es
timates it. L - n . le3s some new Califor
nia shall be discovered, these estimates
of .'' , 10.5.0u0,000 of revenue during the
• prresent quarter and the six quarters
succeeding, .will prove from ten to
tw - enty millions too high, because the
country will not be able to pay, nor
even to obtain credit, fin - so many

' much revenue. Will the reader note
this prediction 1
Gen. Pierce proceeds to recommend
a reduclion of the rates of duty now
charged on Imports. In so far as this
reduction is to be 'effected by a judi
cious extension of the free list, we
do not object; but a reduction of the
present duties on Cloths; Iron, Hard

COUDERSPORT, POTTER COUNTY, PA., DECEMBER - 14, 1854:
$73,549,707
The President proceeds to recom,
mend an increase of both' Army and
Navy, which we totally dissent from.-
The Navy is horribly expensive, in
proportion to its efficiency at present,
and ought not to be rendered more
costly than it is. We do not need
more vessels and more officers, -so
much as more service from those we
now have. We have always officers
enough "waiting orders," and .ships
in ordinary or lying idling in foreign
harbors. We protest against launch
ing out into new and needless expend
itures in such times as these.
As to the Army, it is not the force
needed for the protection of our inland.
frontiers. The raw Dutch and Irish
recruits who mainly constitute the
rank and- file of-our regulars, are too ;
clumsy for dragoons, which is the only
force of much service where our force
is needed, and they have not been,
trained to .expertness• with the rifle. •
These may serve to gar! ison block'
houses, but not to follow, overtake,
and abolish band after band of maraud
inn- savages. For this work, our
Texan, Californian, and other- inland
frontiers should be' divided into mili
tary districts or "marches." each
under the charge of an efficient mili
tary commandant, having but a hand
full of regulars and some good officers
about hiM, but' with authority to call
on the nearest settlements for mounted
volunteers at discretion. Let him se
lect, arm, and drill his men in times of
quiet, paying them fairly for their
time, and arranging signals so that at
a word, or blaze, or cannon shalt, they
will all ush to the appointed rendez
eager-to be led in pursuit of the
enemy. Such a force would be worth
more than the regulars we bow have.
and need not cost half so much, the
men being at work on their farms or
in their shops at least ten months -in
the year.
We object, moreover, to)the Presi
dent's idea of increasing. the pay of
our Army officers. These are very
bard times—the People are in debt
and embarrassed. and there is no
money in the Treasury which the
Government does not owe and will
not speedily want: Nearly everybody
else is on short allowance, apti why
should Army officers he paid NI-her
We think they .may well be satisfied
with their present rates.
The President tells us many things
with respect to the Public Lands, yet
fails to tell us how they are being
swept off like dew at a shilling. or two
•per acre under Cobb's Graduation
bill. We trust the Repott from the
Land Office will supply this grave
deficiency.
. The Post-Office Department appears
to be doing very well, all things con
sidered.
The President's suggestions respect,
ing Laud Grants to Railroads are de
serving grave consideration.
On the whole, this, with all its faults,
is a .pretty good Message, containing
a fair proportion of facts to specula
tions. It will be widely read with
interest and profit.

'Father will have done the great
chimney to-night, won't he, mother?'
said little Tom Howard, as he stood
waiting for his. father's breakfast,
which he carried to him at his work
•
every morning.
.'He said he hoped all the scaffold
ing would be down answered
his mother, 'and that'll be a fine sight;
for I never like the ending of - those
great chinineys—it's so riskythy
father's to be the last up.'
'Eh, then, but go and see
and help 'em to give,a shout afore he
comes down,' said• Tom
• '.And then,' continued his mother,
.if all goes • right, we are to Inivc a
frolic to-morrow, and g o into: the
country, and take our inners, and
. - .
spend all the day amongst the woods.'
'Hurrah!' cried Tom, as he . ran
off to his father's place of work, with
a can 6f milk in one baud, and Some
bread in the other. His mother stood
in the door. watching him as - he went
whistling down the street, and then
she thought of the dear father he was
going to, and of the dangerous work
he was engaged in, and then her
heart sought its sure refuge, and she
prayed to God to protect heftrea:4lres.
Tom,: With light heart,' pursued his
way to his father, and leaving him
his breakfast, went to his own work,
which was at some distance. • In the
evening,. on his way IMme, he went
round to see howfather was'get
ting on. James'HoWard; the 'father,
and a number of othir wqrkmen' ? had
been building one of those lofty Chim
neys which in our great manufacturing
towns, almoA supply the place of
other architectural beauty. Thisehim
ney was one of the highest and most
tapering that had ever been erected ;
and as Toni, shading-_ his eyes from
the slanting rays of the setting sun,
looked up to the top in search of ,his
father, his heart almost • sunk within
him. The scaffolding was alm'ost all
down; the men at the • bottom were
removing the last beams and - poles.
Tom's father stood alone on the top.
He lookcd• all around' to see that
everything was r ight, and then waving
his hat in the air, the Wren below
answered him with a long, loud,hearty
cheer. little Tom shouting' as heartily
as any of them. As their voices died
away, however, they. hard a -very
different sound—a. c:y 'of alarm and
horror from above! 'The.rope! The
rope!' The men looked round, and
coiled upon the ground lay the -rope,
which. before the seaffolding was
removed, should have been fastened
to - the top of the chimney, for Tom's
father to come down by! The scaf-.
folding had been taken down, without
their remembering to take the. rope
up. There was a dead silence. They
all knew it was impossible to throw
'the rope high enough or skillfully
enough, to reach the top of the',chim
trey ;. or if it ,could, it would hardly
have been safe. They Stood in; silent
dismay, unable to
_give any help, or
think of any mean, of safety..
And Tom's father. He walked
round the circle, the . dizzy - :height
seeming to grow more' fearful, l and
the solid earth further from him. In
the sudden panic,. he lost his presenre
of mind, and hi - s senses almost failed
him. He shut his eyes, he felt as 'if,

The day had passed' as pleasantly
and swiftly as usual, with 'T'om's
mailer at home. She was 'always
busily employed for her husband and
children, in some way ,or other; and
to-day she had been Harder at work
than usual, getting ready for the;
iday to-morrow. She bad just finished
all tier pryparations, and her thoughts
were silently thanking God for her
happy home, and fur all the blessings,
iof her life, when Tom rari 'in; his
face was as white as 'ashes, 'and he
could hardly • get Iris words out.—
' Mother! 'Mother ! He cannot get
down.' Who, lad ? Thy . father ?'
asked hiS mother.
'They've forgotten -to leave him
the rope,' answered Tom, still scarce
able 'to speak: His mother started
up, horror-struck, and stood fora mo
ment as if paralyzed; then pressing
her hands over her faCe, as.if to shut
out the terrible picture; and breathing
a prayer to-God for help; .she : rushed
out. of the house.
On. reacbingthe place where her
husband was at work, a crowd had
collected round the foot of the chim
ney, and stood there quite helpless,
gazing up with their faces full of sor
