GROWING VIRTUOUS.
The Miners' Journal declares that it is amazing
how exercised the Straight Democrats at Har
risburg have become in regard to frauds.
Never, apparently, were the interests of the
state so near their hearts, as at present. To
listen to eloquent speeches of each legislative
Aminidab Sleek, in regard to the necessity of
purity in the departments, and of keeping an
argue eye on the public funds, one would sup
pose that we never had in this state a Demo
cratic board of canal commissioners, reeking
in corruption, and squandering the people's
money, or hordes of ballot-box stuffers, to
cheat the people out of their choice of public
officers. Truly, the millenium is coming. The
Democratic party is growing virtuous!
One of the late legislative moves is to ascer
tain how the "act for the commutation of ton
nage duties" was passed, whether, in fact,
there were fraudulent means used to secure its
passage. We do not know that such means
were used ; but if they were, we do know that
the passage of a law which -saves this state
from five to Eight millions dollars a year,
would justify the means, if no other could
have secured its passage.
The selection of the member to open this
tonnage tax subject was unfortunate. There is
too much of ill odor clinging to the reputation
of 'Mr. Hopkins, of Washington county, to lead
the people to suppose that he was actuated by
good motives in starting the investigation.
They remember that he was long a member of
the old Board of canal commissioners, whose
existence reeking in corruption, utterly destroy
ed the state improvements, and occasioned their
sale at a mere nominal sum, after they had
been for years a grievous burden to the people
of the state.
The reminiscences are not calculated to en_
hence our opinion of the integrity of Mr.
Hopkins, and as men in ' legislative capacities
often start investigations, etc., for the purpose
of being bought off by parties interested, we
are almost inclined to believe that that "dodge"
is being brought into play by the suddenly
converted member from Washington county,
and those who are playing "second fiddle" to
him. Men who start investigations into
alleged frauds should at least be above sus
picion.
Ova ALVERTIONS AND OUR ARGUMENTS in rela
tion to the strength of our forces and the jus
tice of our cause, most now be joined by other
demonstrations or the force of our position will
be diminiihed, and the probabilities of our
ultimate success materially decreased. The
agents of our own government abroad are sat
isfied that a general change has taken place in
the opinion of the people of the various coun
tries to which they are accredited, but our
agents are also frank in their confessions that
the rebel envoys are busy with money and
falsehoods, further to misrepresent the true
causes of the rebellion, and-if possible, procure a
recognition for the slave-breeding, traitorous oli
garchy Added to these envoys, Europe is also
filled with a class of alventurers, who are ready
to join the rebel cause the moment it receives
European recognition. The argument on which
the rebel envoys base their right to recogni
tion, is the fact that the rebellion has main
, twined a belligerent attitude for more than ten
months ; that the federal authorities have
not, and are not able to conquer a peace, and
that, as much for the success of commerce as
for the recognition of a people who have exhibit
ed their ability to maintain a government, the
rebel confederacy deserves the recognition of ey
•
ery nation in Europe.
What is needed to counteract the impressions
which are thus sought to be made on the mass
es of Europe, is , a, battle and a victory. Such a
battle cannot much longer be postponed ; and
European recognition of the confederacy also
delayed. One or the other , is bound to be re
alized before many weeks or months, so that if
a battle is speedily fought and won, the recog
nition of the confederacy will never be made,
and thus the last hope of treason will be effec
tu zlly destroyed.
CONGREES is likely to waste more money in
discussing projects for taxing the Prim than
the revenue for such taxes will amount to.—
Something less than two weeks have already
been consumed with the subject; and that au
gust body is stillflonndering in "deep waters."
One would think, to hear the tedious har
angues of Honorable Members, that Newspa
..
papers were about the only "taxable property"
in she country.
THE COST OF THE WAR
In an able article referring to the responsi
bilities of the present contest the Reading Jour•
nal says that to carry on the war for the preser
vation of the Union successfully, will require a
vast outlay of money, the principal p , )rtion of
which will have to be raised by temporary or
permanent loan. The redemption of the prin
cipal of this loan will rest with posterity, but
the interest, which of course should be paid
promptly as It becomes due, must be met now,
by the present generation. Assuming that the
expenses of the war and government are two
millions of dollars per day—the cost per year,
would be seven hundred and thirty millions of
dollars, and presuming further that it will re
quire two whole years to crush out the rebellion,
the total cost in money, without including the
loss of life and destruction of property, would
amount to one thousand four hundred and six
ty millions, ($1,460,000,000.) •
The interest on this sum at six per centum
would be eighty-four millions six hundred
thousand dollars—about equal to the ordinary
expenses of the government in times of peace.
That is to say: The people of the "United States
in future years would be required to raise for
the expenses of the government, and interest
on the war debt, (exclusive of principal) one
hundred and sixty-nine millions two hundred
thousand dollars. To cover this expenditure,
and at the same time pay at least a portion of
the principal, each year will require an annual
revenue far beyond that hithetto raised by
means of duties upon imports.
To meet this extraordinary demand upon the
public treasury, it is but fair that those who
have, without cause, brought upon the country
the disgrace and cost of, civil war, should be re
quired to incur the main items of expense.
The confiscation of the real property of the re
bels in active hostility to the Union—who have
rendered this extraordinary outlay necessary—
would alone pay much more than the entire
cost of the war—principal and interest, and
leave a large margin of surplus. If strict and
impartial justice were done, the loyal states
would not be butdened with one cent of debt—
but this we fear, owing to a false generosity,
will not be demanded. Aside from the sacrifice
of life, the loyal people of the country will be
called to bear at least their full proportion of
the cost of the war for the preservation of the
government. The question then recurs—" How
should this money be raised ?"
Assuming that the country is able to pay the
ordinary expenses of government by the ordi
nary sources of revenue—Las: it has heretofore
done—it is only needed to provide, tempora
rily, for the demands occasioned by the war.
This extraordinary expense, from the data
above referred to, supposing that the war should
continue two years, would make the war debt
at its close, amount to one billion three hun
dred millions—sl,3oo,ooo,ooo. To cancel this,
say in twenty years, would require an annual
revenue over and above what Is ordinarily
raised, something like this:
Interest on war debt $75,000,000
, Annual sinking fund 75,000,000
Total
—575,000,000 paid annually for twenty years
would amount to one billion five hundred thou
sand dollars (sl,soo,ooo,ooo,)—alarger sum by
$200,000,000 than the entire war debt. As the
annual interest would diminish in proportion
as the principal was paid off, considerably less
than twenty years would be required to pay off
the whole indebtedness.
Now if confiscation were resorted to, at least
one half the debt, to wit : 7 -six hundred and
fifty millions would be cancelled at one fell
swoop. But suppose that should not be done,
a tex of say 10 per cent. on all . U. S. offices,
upon luxuries, banks, brokers, trades, profes
sions, manufactures, &c., with a comparative
small property and personal tax, would make
up the $150,000,000 per annum required, with
out any one being oppressively burdened. In
a word, the wealth and resources of the United
States, ever on the increase, would be ample. to
secure the loan-holders, and be more than suffi
cient to meet the demands of the treasury Made
upon it, and would have the additional advan
tage to make the people vigilant as to the man
ner in which th,ir public money is expended,
so that the public, robbery, which annually de
spoils us of millions, would receive the punish
ment which it so justly deserves, and which
the good of the country requires should be
meted out upon all offenders.
THE WORLD'S FAIR
In rejecting the resolution appropriating a
large sum of money to assist in the exhibition
of articles of American manufacture at the
world's fair, the Senate of the United States
merely responded to what has already been re
solved on by the. American people. We believe
that no man who has at heart the interest of
the national government will attempt to add to
British arrogance, by contributing to the world's
fair about to be held in England, because the
enterprise was designed merely to benefit' the
same British rabble that was so enthusiastic l a
few weeks since to engage in a war with this
government. The benefit consists in the fact,
that while the mechanics of the United States
are not dependent on British patronage for suc
cess, they are unwil ingly made 10 contribute
to the success of British manufacturers when
ever they send specimens of their handicraft to
England for the inspection and gratuitous imi
tation of English mechanics. Therefore we
approve the action of the Senate in refusing to
appropriate money to help the producing aris
tocracy of England, and we hope that the re
fusal will have a tendency to remind every good
citizen of his duty towards England. We owe
that country nothing but what we Can pay
we are under no obligations to its people for
any favor, either of sympathy or reciprocity ;
and, therefore, we trust that the intercourse in
trade, mechanism and literature will at once
be closed,
,and the English aristocracy with
British mobs left to grub for their profits on the
barren soil which their oppression and sycho
phancy haVe so long disgraced. •

BY TaShArii
Gen. M' Olell an and the Pittsburg Com
mittee on the National Foundry,
GENERAL SEIGEL PRESSED FOR A
MAJOR GENERALSHIP.
PROPOSED NATIONAL CEMETERY,
In an interview last night between General
M'Clellan and the Pittsburg committee, sent
here to press on Congress the scheme of a
National Foundry west of the Alleghenies, the
General favored the measure decidedly as one
of public policy.
A movement is making here by members of
Congress from the west and northwest, headed
by Frank Blair and Mr. Arnold, to have Gen.
Seigel made a Major General. It will probably
be successful.
So vast an army has been marshaled in this
district, that no proper arrangements have
been made for even a decent interment of those
who die in our hospitals. Their bodies have
been often hurried to the nearest place of se
pulture, where they have been promiscuously
buried. Many relatives and friends have con
sequently made fruitless visits to the army
of the Potomac to recover the bodies of
their deceased friends. This state of
things has arrested attention in Congress
through the exertions of Representative Dawes
and a committee, is now charged with the duty
of considering the subject of providing a Na
tional Cemetery for soldiers in this neighbor
hood, where all our fellow-citizens who die iu
the national cause may find a resting place,
their graves become matters of record, and
leave no doubt about the identity of the indi
viduals. k row the general disposition mani
fested, there seems to be no doubt that an act
for the purpose indicated will be passed.
The result of an examination recently by the
telt graph interest is that the number of mess
ages over all the lines during the year was
2,800,000, yielding a total revenue of $1,422,-
000. Should Congress, in the new tax bill, im
pose three cents ou each message, an income of
little over $84,000 would be realized from that
source, or 5 1 1 : per centum on the aggregate
amount of business.

DISBANDONMENT OF COL. LAAION'S

The recent report of the amount required to
repair the Chesapeake and Ohio canal is offi
cially contradicted, as is also the reported num
ber of sick of General Lander's command at
Cumberland. The figures in both cases are
pronounced to be exaggerations.
A report has reached here to-day that Jackson
was night before last at Winchester with his
main body.
Another rumor says that he has been ordered
to report at Richmond with his command. I
place no reliance on the latter.
Private intelligence from Bath states that
Hon. J. Strother died there about ten days ago,
and his death is attributed to treatment experi
enced from Confederates, who some time pre
vious made a descent upon his estate, destroy
ing and carrying off property amounting to
many thousand dollars, and treating him with
great indignity. His last moments were solaced
by many relatives, including the wife of his
son, D. J. Strother, Port Crayon.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. '
Mr. Um) (Va erred a resolution that
the committee on elections be instructed to
sammon before them the conductor, and one
or more of the commissioners who held the
election at Ball's cross roads on the 23rd of
May last. He remarked that it would only b
fair to him whose seat was involved iu this
case that this should be done, and it would
occasion but little, if any delay. the commit
tee had fallen into a grave error.
Mr. DAWES, (Mass,) replied that this case
was submitted to the committee in July last.
The gentleman had had several hearings before
the committee, and every opportunity was
offered him to submit auy testimony he de
sired. During this session the case had as
sumed a new foru, Another gentleman was
here contesting the seat. They were both given
a number of days in which to take testimony in
such cases. They went on in the Wall er stxted
in the report, and what they did is a curi
osity. The gentleman, Mr. Upton, took the
depositions of those very persons he desired to
be summoned before committee. If the gentle
man wanted to procure testimony besides that
which has been taken and printed, the com
mittee would of course oblige him, but ti;ere
was no use of going over the same ground
again. It, as he remarked, the committee
had fallen into a grave error, and if this was
palpable, it would certainly be made known iu
the consideration of the - question.
Mr. DELANO, (Mass.,) advocated the resolu
tion. He thought the request of the gentle
man was a reasonable one.
Mr. WBIGH.T (Pa.) said that Mr. UPTON was
from a district of disloyal people in Virginia,
and hence he appealed to . Mr. DAwE's generosity
to allow him further time to examine witnesses.
Mr. Dervss replied that the committee were
acting in a judicial capacity. They had heard
the testimony of these two men once and they
bad no objection to hearing them again. The
gentleman, Mr. Upton, claimed only ten votes;
the committee were willing to admit that ten
persons voted tor him at Ball's Cross Roads.
Mr. UPTON, but you deny their validity.
Mr DAWES replied that it was for the [louse
to determine, whether under the circumstan
ces, a id from the manner in which the votes
were cast, it was a legal election, besides there
was a man waiting Outside for the seat, who
had obtained seven times the number of votes
Mr. Upton received.
Mr. DELANO reminded him that the gentle
man who contests the seat was not a candidate
at the same election.
Mr. DAWES knew this but it appeared that a
new election could be held in Virginia at any
time. He further opposed the resolution which
was subsequently laid on the table.
The steamer Stella arrived this morning from
Havre. The gunboat Santiago de Cuba was at
Matanzas on January 31st, ad well.
A rebel named L. Y. Nicholas having been
caught in Gen. Halleck's camp at St. Louis,
the General has Eeut a letter to Price, in which
he Bays: •
"You must be aware, General, that persons
so sent through our lines and past our military
pos.a to these headquarters, are liable to the
punishment of death. They are no mo•e nor
less than spies, and probably are scut by you
to this city to net as such. I shall send Mr.
Nicholas back to your camp, but if you send
any wore persons here in tho same way they
will be regarded s spies and tried and con
demned as such.. You must know, General,
that the laws and usages of war requ're that a
bearer of a flag of truce should report at our
nearest post, and should not pa-s the outer line
of sentinels without permission. He should
not even approach within gun shot of a sentinel
without displaying his flag and receiving a
signal to advance. It he have despatches, he
should send for an officer to receive and receipt
f o r them, which officer should direct the flag
of truce to immediately leave our lines. An
swers to such despatches should be sent to you,
by us, in the same way."
Mr. Seward's order in relation to the city jail,
issued to the Marshal of the District, gives
great satisfaction to nearly all the citizens of
Washington, with, perhaps, the exception of a
few slave owners, who have been in the habit
of seudiag tneir slaves to the jail whenever it
was convenient, and paying the Marshal there
for thirty-seven and a-half cents per day. The
order of the Secretary of State will abate the
worst class of abuses connected with the jail,
and, with the further legislation which Con
gress will enact, will divest this notorious "in
stitution" of half its horrors.
The following is the order issued by Mr
Seward :
" DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON, January 25, 1862
" :—The President of the United States
being satisfied that the following instructions
contravene no law in force in this District, and
that they can be executed without awaiting for
legislation by Congress, I am directed by him
to convey them to you
"As Marshal of the District of Columbia you
will not receive into custody any persons
claimed to be held to service or labor within
the District or elsewhere, and not charged with
any crime or misdemeanor, unless upon arrest
or commitment, pursuant to law, as fugitives
from such service or labor ; and yon will not
retain any such fugitives in cust ,, dy beyond 'a
period of thirty days from their arrest and
commitment, unless by special order of compe
tent civil authority.
" You will forthwith cause publication to be
made of this order, and at the expiration of ten
days therefrom you will apply the same to all

[From the Columbus (Ohio) City Fact., or January 221
" THE GLORIOUS 18TH''—JOLLIFICATION AT
CA3re ThouAs —The dispatches speaking of the
heavy march of the 18th Regulars, of twenty
five miles, before going into the late battle, in
which the regiment, the first time under fire,
distinguished itself, have given a name to the
regiment which it will long retain and well
deserves, the "glorious 18th."
It is the largest regiment ever in the army,
and of some of the choicest of Ohio's sons. The
Legislature have done well to include them in
the range of the laws passed for the benefit of
soldiers' families.
COL CARRINGTON, having received dispatches
of the admirable behavior of the companies in
the field, announced the fact at dress parade
last evening, at. Camp Thomas, and set apart
from seven until eight in the evening for such
recreation as the occasion would suggest.
Accordingly the fine band of 26 instruments,
with the five companies now under drill in
camp, waited .upon him at his Head-Quarters,
fully equipped. Thirty-four magnificent rockets,
one for each State, with other fire-works were
exhibited, closing with three cheers for the
Union—three cheers for the Colonel and three
cheers for the "glorious 18th."
The bank struck up "Dixie" and the com
panies marched to their quarters, with new
determination speedily to fill up the remaining
compani. s and join their brethren in the field.
We have had frequent occasion to mark the
wonderful progress made by this regiment in
discipline and drill, and their first battle proves
that the labor so industriously bestowed upon
them has been well and judiciously applied.
We cannot but think that the Legislature,
or our citizens, could not do better than to pre
sent this tine force with as fine a set of colors as
can be made. Five hundred dollars will do it.
Who will start the ball ?
