. . . The Tfumhig At. the begi liggievexy month the peo-, file of the - United States are SolenaialS , in= formed by the Secretary et, the Treasury that the public debt has been decreased by certain amonuta dultraped4istl... ~ /t would afford us great tottaapirecta.ellitinicie the fact were It ilickaiNAitialahialibod. That a high official shettld timaistillilly send out to the publlo a statement, which.* alio on its face, seems almost hicri3dlble. Neverthe less such is the •shameftil. fact. Look, for instance, at Mr. Boutwell's figures for the past month. His statement is as follows: Total debt—Principal and Inter est, to date, Including coupons due not presented for payment.. 92,651,868,795 43 Amount In the Treasury Coln 9102,400,739 97 Currencylo,2ta,ass OS Sinklnund MUM ted tea coin In terest bonds, and accrued Interest thereon 25,970,520 00 Other U.

'l'hev amount, with the atoned interest unpaid, to $05,094,861 20. This sum added to the gross amount of the debt as above stated, makes an aggregate of $2,710,783,056 63. Now, what are the assets claimed by Mr. Boutwell to be at present In the Treasury? Why, among others, '5100,059,284 01 of United States coin interest bonds That is to nay, this amount of the promissory notes of the United states have been redeemed by the United States, and though just as worthless to the United States as the paper of an individual is to that individual after he has redeemed it and recovered posses sion of it, this valueless paper is counted as assets and Mr. Boutwell coolly proceeds to deduct the amount of the value Which it onto had from the amount of the principal and interest of the public debt! To ?mike this perfectly clear to the dullest under stading, let us illustrate: An individual draws a promissory note on which he ob tains money. lie afterwards lifts the note. Having redeemed the note and recovered possession of it, it is perfectly valueless to him and he destroys it. In like manner the government issues bonds. It obtains the Money 1111 them. Afterward it lifts those bonds. But Mr. Botitwell, instead of cancelling or destroying them, puts those redeemed evidences of government debt in the strong box of thin Treasury, tout with a Mikity of imagination that is truly wonderful, treats them as rash! If the reader hold an estate charged with a mort gage, would not the owner of tint' mortgage regard hint 11.5 a lunatic if he proposed tin pay elf the mortgage with his own papinr formerly held by other parties but lately redeemed by him? Vet this is preeisely what Boutwell asks the public tin twin, e he can do and is doing. Tine only bona tide assets in the Treasury are 8102,:100,7:19.97 in coin, 1111 above stated, and tide sum alone is to be deducted from the gross zunount the public debt. Hence a true statement of the debt and the credits to which the government is entitled would be in follows: Total debt—Prlnvlpal and inter est ;32,716,763,a - A t;:: Assets In Treasury 142,100,739 97 Total debt less assets In 'ireasuryttg,ill4,3ll2,9l6 till But let us see what w;as the amount of the debt on the first of Alareli, MO.

It is of especial importance thereetre, tr inves tors to know how the road is built, upon which a loan is being negotiated. We have been interested in totting some of the details concerning tlet construction of the l Chicago, Danville k Vineinnos Railroad, now ill operation from I 'hicago to Moments., 55 miles, and soon to b 0 extended to Dan yule. The road-bed is solid and of extra width, and the culverts, bridges, of a character for many years wear. Upon this, white oak ties are laid toll., unusual number of 2,500 to the mile. TM , rails are of the best quality, and weighing ; - tai pounds to tile yard. ; and these rails are secured by tish joints. IL is evident that such a rail road will need but little repair for sonar years to come, and that it can transact its rapidly increasing business without the corresponding outlay which most new roads require as soon as they obtain the business ow hivh their projectors anticipate. Upon this road thus constructed,. the Company are selling First Mortgage 7 per cent. Rout! Bonds, having, 40 years to run, interests payable semi-annually. The sales already have been large, and the Com pany has been purchasing materials fir the ex tension and equipment. Almon; these purehasee are 80,000 oak ties, 9,000 tons of rails, '2O locomotives, 130 freight oars, and other articles in proportion. The road has an assurance of large and profitable truffle, both from the local trade and from the serving of coal and iron front the points of production along the line to Chicago, where they are in steady demand. The (Muds are Inc $lB,OOO to the mile only, and at present price of gold they pay nearly 10 per, cent. upon this investment. A handsome profit may lie realized by the exalting° of Governments fin' these equally secure and more profitable Bonds. Interesting information concerning the road and its Bonds may be had of the Agents advertised in another column.

Tho President says, that the delay in issu ing it was caused by the Met, that it is ab solutely necessary that the prochunation should leave open 110 (IlleS6oll whatsoever, by which the validity of the amendment could ever be questioned. That there was doubt in some minds, as to the legal force of the ratification by Indiana, and as to the effect of the repeal of the ratification by New York. That, exclusive of those two, there would still be the requisite number of States, to wit: 28. But there was a fur ther question in some minds, as to the va lidity of the ratification by Georgia and TOXIN, not yet admitted to representation. As it was therefore in the highest degree desirable, that all these doubts should be settled, it had been decided that the pro clamation should be deferred until Con gress had declared Georgia and Texas en titled to representation, when there would be no longer any question its to whether or no they were States in the Union, and the number of States requisite for ratification would be fully obtained, exclusive of both New York and Indiana. official notice of ratification by Nebraska, has been receiv ed, leaving Texas only to be heard from. The President expressed his desire to 111,11:1` the proclamation by the 14 th inst., but that would depend upon the action of Congress in regard to Georgia and Texas. In Congress to-day, the unfinished busi ness in the Senate will be the funding bill, and in the I louse the bill admitting f leor gill. The prospects that the funding mea sure will be finally acted on within the next three or four days, arc very slight, and the exact shape ill which it will finally go to the House, is equally indefinite and uncertain. The vote on the Georgia bill is 'to be taken at I o'clock, and there is some 14111 1 1111111ti011 as to the sequel. The opposi tion which has been developed to the bill of the committee, or "Butler's bill," as it called, is not quite so strong as was expect ed, and Mr. Fansworth, who is one of the leaders of the opposition, has not a Very strong impression that he and his frienf will be able to make a very strong array When the yeas and nays are called. Several Senators and Members were in conference with Secretary Boutwell on Saturday, concerning financial matters.— They suggested to the Secretary whether he had any particular objection to chang ing the series of loans, provided for in the funding bill, now pending in the Senate, to ;.`4500,000,000 each. instead of $400,000,0110. Ile infifrmed them that Ito thought $400,000,MR1 preferable and explained why. Ile also stated, that he rather prefered that Con gress would fix the rate of interest on each series, than leave it discretionary with him, as Senator Wilson's au :influent to the funding bill proposed. If the bill pro vided a rate of interest not exceeding five per cent., the people who had bonds to ex change would insist on that rate of inter est, but if the measure passed, fixing lirst :it 5 per emit., then 41 and 4, they would have no alternative, and we would be com pelled to take them.

It is prover bial with the business men of Lancaster that there is a great lack of enterprise.— Merchants call attention to the time table of the Reading it Columbia Railroad as detrimental to the business interests of the city; now it is plain that our country friends can do very little business without remaining over night which incurs extra expense, while persons visiting Reading can leave there late in the evening. It is certainly to the interests of the company to give equal advantages. The increase in travel alone would be an item. Let the business men in these dull times look around-and see that Lancaster's interests are attended to and it will yet find its place among our leading cities. LJ-ulUlt HuNTlNcirms, Pa., March 7.—The ,on demned men, Bohner and liodenburg, rested well last night and partook of a hearty breakfast this morning. Bohner is gruff and lays in bed most of the time.

The loss is about $3,000, which is en tirely covered by insurance in the Germa nia of New York. The origin of the lire is not definitely known, but is supposed to have originated from the bursting of a coal oil lamp.

NEW YORK, March B.—The full of gold is caused by a rumor from Washington that a 1.111 has been introduced to receive half of the customs in currency. I=2 The difficulties which have so puzzled ou r financiers the past fiat!' or live years are gradually being solved. The simple policy of non-expansion has done much towards it, and just now the feature of letting well enough alone seems a very desirable one. The greenback dollar has been steadily and rapidly appreciating the some time. Its long and great depreciation Itas been com monly disguised under a form of a "pre miums on gold ; " but, in fact, the value of gold has not materially changed during the last ten years. The supply has been quite uniform, and the demand has been influ enced only oceasionly and temporarily by speculative causes. It is the paper cur rency that has been bought and sold, at prices varying according to the varying ttottlidence of 010 public inn its ultimate redemption, and according to the excess of it in use. To appreciate the course of the national credit, therefore, we should quote the price, not of gold, but of greenbacks. Upon this point the New York Post presents sonie interesting facts. It shows that in June, 1562, the highest worth of a greenback dollar inn cents of real money was 062, and the lowest 911 ; in June, 1863, highest 71, lowest ti7A ; June, 1064, highest 532, lowest 392; inn June, 1065, highest 74, lowest its. The lowest points touched were in 10114, as inn July of that year greenbacks ramrod from 45 down to 362. Since 1065 the fluctuations have been within narrower limits, and a table inlay be limited to the annual extremes of the market. The value of a greenback dollar was, in 1066 50 1007.. 752 tel 1060 752 666 18G9 532 till 1570, (two m0nth5)....07 s 3 The highest value of greenbacks in Is6o %vas attained in larch, just after the final victories ,fthe Federal arnsies,and in a panic 40f the speculators in gold and stow Ls, and their lowest apparent value in lslo was merely a nominal quotation, made upon tie " black Friday, " in September, by a speculators' " corner. " Since January, 1570, came in the appreeiation of greenbacks h i ss gone on pretty steadily. On the 15th they were worth 81.90 in gold, and on the :25tli had attained to sli.s7. With gold at 115, as it was on Tuesday last, the lowest record ed since September, 1802,5100 in greenbacks represent a real value of s s.Sti.llo its gold. I=2=! The letters of the Prince of Wales to Lady Mordatint, concerning which so much curi osity has been excited, form as harmless a correspondeme as can possibly be imag ined. They were not produced at the trial of Mordaunt vs. Mordaunt in the Court of :latrinionial Causes, but have been pub fished in the Birmingham Pont, it is sup posed with the permission of Sir Charles Mordaunt. The letters, eleven in number, are written in just such a spirit as might be anticipated to exist between two sin cere friends who had known each other front infancy. The subjeets are as follows: A cknowledgrng a present of knit in uffetees, returning thanks fur the purchase Ma lady's umbrella in Paris, promising to obtain fora protege admission' to an:asylum, giving in- Mrmation in reference to a pair of ponies, announcing the birth of an infant Prinvess, and congratulating Lady Mordaunt on hav ing recovered from the measles. The other portions of the letters consist of descriptions of shooting and hunting parties and allu sions to the little incidents that were occur ring, such as the slippery rails in travel hng, the capital fun of sledging, the ridicu lous appearance of a friend in a kilt, and so forth. The longest letter gives the travel ling programme of the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three eldest children. As far as the letters are concerned there is not the slightest foundation afforded for the recent painful accusations made against the Prince of Wales. Two Little Girls Drowned In a Mind Hole. On Wednesday last a sad ease of drown ing occurred in Bridgehampton, Long Is land, bereaving an industrious flintily of their only offspring. Teo little girls, iv/€(1 six and eight years, daughters of Daniel Cronin, in company with a young male playmate named Howard, went out upon a pond to slide, the water forming which hail collected in an excavation on the road side some six feet deep. While enjoying the slide the ice broke, and the two little girls wet e submerged. Young Howard, with commendable bravery, endeavored to rescue them, and would have been success ful but for the sudden breaking of the ice, which also submerged hint, but succeeding in regaining the land he ran to the house of the Cronins and informed their mother of the sad circumstance. She, 'frantic with fear, rushed madly to the spot, only to be hold the lifeless forms of her children. The ice, not being strong enough to bear her, she plunged into the water soil forced tier way through and succeeded in bringing the little ones to the bank, but not without re ceiving severe bruises and being cut about the body by the ice. The water was up to her neck, and it was feared that she would also perish in the water. She is now to her bed, and may not probably re cover front the effects of the shock anti the loss of her only children. The Preparations fade by Prisoner's Connell for the Approaching Event. As the time draws near for the trial of Daniel McFarland for the killing of Albert D. Richardson, in November last, public interest in this celebrated case is revived, and public anticipation is keenly aroused by the probabilities of startlingdisclosures, which have been openly hinted at. The counsel engaged for the aefense are Messrs. John Graham, Charles S. Spencer, and El dridge T. Gerry, all gentlemen of well known legal attainments, and all remark able for pertinacity in behalf of their clients. 'Phe prosecution will, of course, be conduct ed by Judge Garvin, the District Attorney, and in view of his well-known dislike for the introduction of private counsel, it is probable that no attorneys outside of the District Attorney's office will take any prominent part In the conduct of the case for the people. The evidence thus far taken in prelimina ry examinations by the prisoner's counsel has been very voluminous. An immense number of private examinations have been made, and the investigation has extended over a very large range of topics and of years, some commissions for taking testi mony having been sent as far re Europe. and it is now thought it will be two weeks from next Monday, or March 21, when the defence will be ready. From Intliannpoine--Snpreme Court Decision. INDIANAPOLIS, March 7.—The Supreme court rendered a decision in the case of the Indianapolis, Crawfordville and Danville, R. R. Co's, that any tax payer having an interest, however small, may enter a suit, and in the County Court, directly, without form of appeal to Commissioners. The Commissioners of Montgomery County divides $125,000 to the Railroad Companies. Two years ago the appropriation was to be used for construction. Suit was brought by a citizen for an injunction in the Circuit Court, but was defeated on a demurrer sus tained. The Supreme Court reversed the deci sion on the ground that the whole transac tion was never arraigned by law. The decision leaves the matter in bad shape.

Frank fort and Samuel Hambright escaped from our County Prison and no clue was had to their whereabouts until about two months ago when they both were arrested for com mitting extensive robberies from the cars of the Penn'a R. R. Co. They were both com mitted to the Allegheny jail to await trial, from which, it will be seen, Frankfurt, has escaped. The Commercial states that. the escape of the prisoner, Frankfort, was not one of those strategic escapes which are sometimes attributed to the sharpness of the fugitive, but the result of a bold and successful assault upon the resisting pow er of the institution. To understand thr• mariner of the escape, the reader is inform ed that the new and 'improved ' jail con sists of a long hall, with two tiers of cells on either side—one tier above the other. These cells are constructed of plates of boiler iron, two feet in width, and riveted together with three-eighths inch rivets. The platys arc of good quarter inch iron. The • ceilings' of the cells are made of the same material. 'rho weak point of the prison, as now appears, is in the construction of the • ceilings' in the upper tiers of cells. There is nothing between the plates, which form the top of the cell, and the roof, which is composed of inch pine sheeting covered with slate. In one of the cells in the upper tier, west side, were confined John Frankfurt, the notorious railroad rob ber, and a German tanned John Rudy.— Frankfort, who is an old offender, is said to be a shrewd fellow, and a good mechanic. Ile was committed on the 4th of .I: uary last for stealing goods from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and other parties; and as the ofih•ers of the Company, through the shrewdness of Mr. Creighton, had 'the dead wood on him,' his case was a most desperate one. Having been so suc cessl id in going through the walls of other prisons, he determined to test our new jail, and like a sensible mechanic, concluded to strike at the weakest point. A little obser vation would serve to satisfy him that, as there was nothing above the upper plating of his cell but a common plate root', his escape would only be a question of time. Ills first attempt was to procure some acid, with which to weaken the rivets, but the party who tried to smuggle the vial of acid to him was detected, as the vial was noticed at the both )of a barrel of molasses. This was some tone ago, and since then he has been el ))sely watched, his cell being inspected every evening. Yesterday morning, how ever, his cell was found vacant, and an examination showed how he and his cell-mate had escaped. He had with a tine burglar's tile (as is supposed), cut the heads of eleven rivets, wraith held together the ends of two plates of iron in the top of his yell. This done, he and his companion took a slat from their berlstead,with which they bent up the end of the loosened plate sufficiently to let them crawl through. The cells are about seven feet high, and the plate above was reached by placing the bedstead on end, and using the slats for steps. The rivets having been removed, and the plate sprung, the prisoners crawled through, there being nothing further to ob struct their passage. Here their heads would touch the sheeting of the roof, arid, witlr pocket-knives, perhaps, they soon cut through the sheeting making a hole about fourteen or sixteen inches square, removed several pieces of slate above, and got upon the roof. From this point they slid down six or eight feet, got upon the first platform of the tower which contains the Central Fire Alarm bell, and from thence their descent to the Court House yard was easy—and away they went." Inimediately after the escape became known, Warden Seandrett, and his assist ant, Alr. Smith, began to make inquiry from the other prisoners as to whether any noise had been heard. Some, females who occupied the cell directly underneath, stat ed that they heard slight noises above, front about midnight until three o'clock. The last noise they heard was like snow sliding down the roof. Then they heard nothing more. Other prisoners, confined near the va.caut gall , stated tint they heard no noise whatever; and the fact is clear that theoperations were conducted very quietly, as the iron readily conducts the slightest top or disturbance. Assistant Warden Smith states that he visited Frankfort's cell between half-past eleven and twelve o'clock at night, and found everything all right, so far ins appearances were concerned. If any of the rivets had been cut, they had not been removed. They might have been filed, however, just leaving tinongla . of the fibre to hold them in place, and ai.ierson looking up at them would not be able to detect the cutting, as the tile used was net thicker than the mainspring of a watch. Mr. Smith thinks the cutting was all done after midnight. However this may lie. good judges say that a rivet could he cut every five minutes, and all the work Wino could have been accomplished in one hour. Frankfort is thus described by the Pitts burgh authorities: lie is five feet eight and a half inches high, dark, sallow complex ion; dark brown hair; moustache and goatee ; weighs about one hundred and fifty pounds; wore dark blue coat, anti dark pants and vest. He is a Lancaster Ger man, but speaks good English. He is about twenty-eight years of age ( lis ilVeolll- ;11iee in the railroad robberies, Samuel 4 lambright, was confined in another veil.) TAKING THE CENSl:S.—AppliGabills for appointments it, census-takers are now be coming quite numerous, and the Marshal is likely to have his hands full of this bus iness for some time to come. As Congress has rejected new plans, the census this year Will lie taken on the same basis as in 1050 and 1060. The law of 1850 provides that the census shall betaken by the United States Marshals of the respective districts, with the aid of such assistants as shall be -required. Each State is divided into census districts to,be composed of not less than 20,- 000 persons. The assistants for taking the census are appointed and commissioned by the Marshal, and are paid their compensa tion as fiillows: Two cents for every name taken, ten cents for every farm, fifteen cents fur every productive establishment of in dustry, two cents for every deceased person, and two per cent. of the gross amount for names enumerated, for social statistics, and ten cents per mile for travel. The enumer ation must begin the first day of June. and the census must lie completed, and the returns all sent in to the Secretary of the Interior by the first of November follow ing. The Superintendent of the census is Francis A. Walker, late of the Bureau of Statistics, and Assistant Special Commis sioner of Revenue. It will be seen by the foregoing that the compensation afforded an enumerator, providing the district allotted to him shall not contain less than 20,000 persons, would be about $OOO, or more. The Marshal is forbidden by law to accept any bribe or consideration, for an appointment or assistant, and is liable to $lOOO fine, if he should lie convicted of so doing, THE FOOL , NOT ALL DEAD.—It appears from what a cotemporary says below that the fools arc not all dead vet in Lancaster: Even newspaper readers may be found, here :Ind there, who will be fools. Not withstanding the frequent ex posures of the many swindling schemes of New York and other localities, such as (lift Institutes, Lot teries, ,lc., people will be humbugged and swindled, Some of our enterprising citi zens including a number of females, have lately received notices from "responsible" parties in New York, that they are the lucky drawers of two hundred dollar watches, and that to obtain these valuables it will be necessary to forward thirteen dollars, to pay percentage, Government tax, ke. Sc were foolish enough to for ward the numey and in due time received in return, by express, pieces of brick-bat neatly done up in packages. (Inc or the fools was a little smarter titan the average, and to guard against the possibility of be ing swindled, wrote on to send the gold watch "C. (I. h.," and in a few days it came, when he paid the thirteen dollars, and then very carefully broke the sealing wax, open ed the package, and became the lucky pos sessor of a brass watch worth about fifty cents. SMYRNA LITERARY ASSOCIATION.—This society met at the usual hour, Wm. B. Finney, President, in the chair ; a selection on the subject of "Way" was read by Jesse Webster, Jr. Referred questions were answered by different members present, after which the Association proceeded to discuss the fixed question, viz: Resolved, "That women should be allow ed the elective franchise," which was ably discussed on the affirmative by P. S. Bush, George Pierce and Jesse Webster, Jr., and on the negative by James D. Reed, James J. Brinton, and Wm. Hollis. The society agreed to continue the dis cussion of the aforementioned question at the next meeting. Adjourned.

Mullin, closed the winter term of their school, by giving an exhibition in their School House last eve ning, consisting of speeches, dialogues and music, by all the members of the school.— In the speeches and dialogues the scholars all acquitted themselves admirably. The music under the charge of Mr. Jacob Hol linger accompanied by an organ kindly loaned by Mr. Henry S. Hostetter, could not have been surpassed. The whole affair proved a very creditable one to their teach er, Mr. Mullin, and the guests departed for home highly delighted with so rare an en tertainment afforded them. MAMMOTH STEER.-MT..

MAN INIVRED.—NeIson col ored man employed for the last fifteen years at Seller's lumber and coal yard, was seriously injured on Saturday by having upset on him a car load of coal. It seems that a train of nine coal ears were being backed on the siding running from the Pa. It. H., to Water street. This siding is built on trestles from i to 12 feet high. and the Water street end was guarded first by heavy timber braces secured by iron bolts, and secondly by having the heavy rails of the track turned up some three feet at the end, o as o catch the wheels of the rear car.— The train was backed in with such force however that the timbers were crushed down, the bent rails snapped our, and the car on which was standing pre cipitated over the end of the siding into Water street, a distance of perhaps twelve feet. Had not the bumper struck the ground first, Williams would have been instantly crushed to death. As it is, he was severely injured internally by the weight of coal falling on him. He was taken to the residence of Mr. O. Sener, and his injuries attended to by Dr. Muhlen berg. He has a wife and family residing, near Columbia. SNIPE TRAPS.—When Gen. Fisher was in the State Senate ho introduced a bill to prevent the trapping of snipe and woodcock. As the season will soon be here for bagging this choice game, a number of old sports are desirous of knowing whether the General's bill became a law ; and if so, what kind of traps are interdicted? If the bill, like the proposed amendments to the city charter, fidled to pass, the sports would like to know something about the construction of the traps and the mode of trapping, as they have heretofore never been able to secure the game, except by square shooting.

Actin EST.-A correspondent writes from Intercourse that, on Satnrdayeveninglast, an employee of a cattle dealer living in that village, named Daniel A.
