TEE NATIONAL DEBT OP
GREAT BRITAIN.
llonsapaiadve. pelt elr saw Cussed states.
. Previous to the - breaking out of cur re
bellion, the American people - used to grow
pale at the mere mention of exorbitant
tasation ; the idea of our nation's annual
estimnditures reaching eighty millions of
- . 4lollers, made many anervous old million- I
rake think of his money-bags. The nation
-al-debt of Great Britain has always been a
cease of headache to American politicians; '
but now these gentlemen calmly contem
plate a debt here at home, quite as fearful;
and accumulating with a rapidity unknown
to English statesmen. - We are all lost in
the contemplation of crushing the rebel
lion and giving freedom to the slaves, for
. ptful of the almost inconceivable burdens
we are piling upon ourselves. -
In 1869 the national debt of Great Brit
ain was £805,078,554; but this is the growth
of nearly two hundred years of enterprise,
aggression and rascality by that grasping
nation. At the time of the English revo
lution, when William the Third ascended
the throne, the national _debt of that
country was but 5.6(0263; it increased
gradually until the accession of George the
Third, during whose long reign it increased
£782,886,942. It will be seen by this that,
although it required England nearly two
centuries to accumulate the national debt
under which-she is groaning, more than
three-fourths of it was made during the
reign of a single monarch, George the
Third, whose possession of the throne. we
believe; lasted some forty years.. During
this long reign, the English nation was in
volved in foreign wars, besides being com
pelled to put down rebellion at borne.
The American Colonies, after a seven years'
struggle for independence, threw off the
the British yoke, while Napoleon was
ing his great rival to bleed at every pore.
There is nothing surprising, therefore, in
the national debt of Great Britain accu-
Maiming so enormously during a reign of
forty years' duration, marked by such a
combination of vicissitudes as those to
which we have alluded.
Our goverzunentis at peace with all the
world, except a portion of its own sub
jai; we have no foreign wars on hand,
and yet this rebellion, which, at its cone
inencement, was considered contemptible,
ii costing the nation three millions of dol
lets per day—enough, with interest, to
make our national indebtedness, in three
yens, quite as much as the present debt of
Bligland. Yes, if we keep on two years
longer, in the same path—should the re
bellion not be pat down, we will have a debt
quite aslargeas that which is now oppress
the masses of Great Britain. The
- will naturally inquire how this is,
and conclude that it is all the result of our
American magnificence. Why, Gen. Fre
mont,' during his reign in the Western De
-pertinent, spent as much as it cost the col
• oldies to carry on a rebellion of seven years'
duration. We do things now upon °grand
ee scale than our fathers had any concep
lion of ; they were, doubtless, good enough
old men in their way, but were not prop
erly imbued with -the telegraphic speed of
the present generation. Their thrift, so
briety and industry, and their toleration of
opinions and institutions not of their own
choosing, built up a stupendous empire for
their descendents, which the fanaticism,
intolerance and infamy of contending fac
tions have rent asunder.
At the - present moment we have no idea
of the load of responsibility which this re
bellion is piling upon us. The rebel lead
era seem determined upon their own and
their section's destruction, while we are
gradually accumulating a national debt
estbich,if continued for two years, will waste
oursubsistence and Igor our government.
When that period - we will exhibit
a national decadenCii'anparalleled since
the world began—a great nation, in three ,
years, reduced by conspirators and dema
gogues from the very pinnacle of national
prosperity, to the wasted. decrepid and
lingering condition of a country consumed
by civil strife. Even should the present
ring campaign result in the scattering of
rebel armies, there is no telling how
long a marauding, guerilla warfare may
be waged, requiring our government to
still keep up formidable forces throughout
the conquered districts. But should the
spring campaign close with the triumph of
our arms, so marked as to compel the reb
el leaders to fly the country, and induce the
people of the South to return to their alle
giance, we may all live to see this Union
reunited and stronger than it ever was,
since the day when nullification first raised
its rebellious head.
Distinguished Foreigners
The arrival of Lord Edward Cavendish,

cil, of the Rifle Brigade, stationed in Can

they being considered as types of a more

Britain, irimpathising_withthe rebellion.

LATE SOUTHERN NEWS
From file:. of late Southern papers.
which have been received, we make the
following extracts:
The New Orleans Money Market.
The New Orleans Crescent of Thursday
20th ult., says : If there was such a thing
as a paper market to-day, it was not per
ceivable by our optics. Money is abund
ant, and good securities can be placed at
rates less than five per cent. per annum.
The banks are confining their transac
tions,
to the renewal of maturing obliga
tions, and as commercial paper, in amount
as well as quantity, has dwindled down to
an insignificant sum, the large surplus
which they held has been in part invested
in the five million loan of the State. The
question of a general retiring of the cir
culation of our banks is yet unsettled.
Our bank presidents could not come to any
mutual agreement. The demand for small
change still continues, though the vacuum
is being gradually filled Up with the issue
of the State Treasurr ii e Bank of Louis
iana, and State Ban The cutting or di
viding of notes still coo tinues. 11 e con•
ceive it to be our duty to call attention to
the fact that the cutting of State treasury
notes will cause considerable trouble on
settlement. 'These issues cannot be set
tled iu the same way as bank notes—that
is, when presented for funding in half
notes. therefore, we say, do not divide
the treasury notes of the State. The
movements a gold and silver coin appear
to be voluntarily diminished. Some few
sales take place daily, but not in sufficient
sums to command a notice.
Flour Twenty-two Dollars a Bar-
The same paper says t As expected
and predict d in our last, flour advanced
to $22 per barrel. ff as the time not ar
rived for our authorities to intervene?
The Committee of Safety might be author
ized by Gen. Lovell to take possession of
the flour in market, and account to the
owners thereof at a reasonable price for
the same. It is supposed that 818 or $2O
per barrel might be considered a fair price.
Flour on tlw 17th, Monday last, was sel
ling in Memphis at $l4 to $l5 per barrel.
Of course, ai soon as the advance here is
acted on, there may be a corresponding
advance there, which market, by-the-by,
is the only one from whence we may ex
pect supplies hither. True, we have been
led to expect we should receive supplies
from Red river, but expectations in this
respect have nothing to sustain them.
We learn that the Committee of Safety
secured several hundred casks of rice,
which will he sold at first cost to consumers.
They must to further, and secure all the
flour in market..
Alabama Heins.
The Sumpter (Alabama) Republican ' in
noticing . the action of planters to substi
tate grain for the cotton crop as the best.
war policy. states that Dr. Jarrratt has in
structed the overseer of his plantation in
Sumpter county, not to plant any cotton
whatever, but to plant one thousand two
hundred acres in corn. potatoes, &c., to
aid in supplying provisions for the South
during the war.
Dr. Burrows, superintendent of the Al
abama penitentiary, at Wetumpka, has been
murdered by a convict.
A trial trip of the gunboats Morgan and
Gaines, just built at Mobile, is pronounced

mines in Lawrence, county, nearly pure,
and learns that large quantities have been

Miscellaneous items.
Captain David Frye, a North Carolina
loyalist, accused last summer of bridge
burning, is accused ofhaving headed a raid
into Greene county, roughly treated the
secessionists there, taking all the powder
he could find, and other things.
The Grenville Banner says that the
East Tennessee Unionists on Monday night
cut the telegraph wires a mile west of that

SAMUEL PRIT.IIPS DAY, American cor
respondent of the London Herald, writes
to that paper some amusing absurdities
which the Southerners have palmed oft on
him as truth. Having found, he say.s,uni
versal profanity at the North, and piety
the South, he adds : 'One officer inform
ed me that, in giving orders for the first
volley, which took such tremendous effect,
he addressed his men thus : 'The Lord
have mercy on their souls ! but fire.'
Business in Nashville.
From the Nashville Republican Banner, April 2d.
We' notice in several Northern and East
ern papers statements in regard to the busi
ness of Nashville, which are entirely in
correct. , So far as legitimate business is
concerned, there is literally nothing doing
here. Many of our principal stores are
entirely closed, and those which are open
are doing nothing worth speaking ot.—
There is no manufacturing going on; print
ing establishments are closed, with the ex
ception of that portion of the newspapers
now published here, and indeed we may
sav briefly that only bakers, confectioners,
and hotel-keepers are doing enough busi
ness to pay rent, to say nothing of other
expenses.
Skies Brightening.
From the Fayetteville (N. C.) Observer. Mardi
We have boon greatly cheered within a
day or two past by information of a per
fectly reliable nature, but which we are.
not at liberty to detail to the public. We
cannot withhold this much, however, that
a bright prospect opens in the near future,
of most important results in our favor.—
Besides what we are not at liberty to tell,
the thet of the safe arrival of 40,000 guns
is, of itself, of incalculable importance.
News from Florida.
[rum the Savannah Ron))lican
Persons direct from Florida report that
the enemy was about evacuating. Jackson
ville, their visit to that place having proved
fruitless. Three gunboats had ascended
the St. John as far as Orange Mills, where
one got aground. and at last accounts the
other two were employed in efforts to re
lieve her. They will hardly attempt to
progress further. St. Augustine was occu
pied by the Federals some days ago. We
cannot hear that the enemy has met with
any considerable amount of plunder in the
course of their expedition, except contra
bands. whom they steal wherever they find
them. Nothing new from other towns on
the coast.
News from Cumberland Gap.
CCNIBERLAND GAe, March 16.—The
weather for the last ten days has been de
cidedly spring like. Winter seems to be
playing a Yankee trick, and has retreated.
The forests are budding, and the blue
birds are calling to their mates from every
sprig. After the recent hard weather the
warm days are particularly grateful to the
soldiers. The well look brighter and more
cheerful, and the sick are beginning to
come from their beds into the sunshine.
Measures Taken tbr the Destrue
lion of Cotton.
From the Memphis Appeal, March Z 7.
The Brownsville FZaq of the 20th of
March states that the military commander
at Fort Brown had ordered all the cotton
warehouses in Brownsville to be stored
outside of the city limits; where.it could be
destroyed without danger to the town, if
the guerillas should attempt to land iu
force on that coast. In accordance, a
small mountain of fleecy product has been
built outside of the town, and it will make
a lively bonfire if the Yankees ever make
a start towards it in such strength as to re
quire the troops to fail back.
Movements of Yancey.
The Petersburg (Ca.) Express publishes
a dispatch from Richmond stating that
Wm. L. Yancey had arrived in that city
and taken his scat iu the Senate.
The Rebels wear Yorktown.
The Richmond Enquirer of the 2,Bth u
Major• General Magruder, of the army
of the peninsula, has issued general orders
to his torces in case any body of them
should meet the enemy, and he not be with
them, to attack at once and furiously.
We learn that the enemy have almost
entirely evacuated the vicinity of Evans
port, and have retired from Prince William
and Stafford counties generally. The
same withdrawal of troops seems to be
taking place in the Valley. A large provi
sion train would be necessary to an ad
vance of their armies through a country
which has been so much exhausted by the
war as the Potomac region of Virginia.
The Rebels preparing to give up.
rroin.the Richmond Enquirer.
Thelelegraph tells us of heavy xannon
ading at Island No. 10, and the issue un
decided. We have done well thus far, and
we hope for victory, but should not be sur
prised if the facilities of the enemy for re
inforcing their troops at pleasure should
enable them eventually to carry the island,
nor should we attach Much consequence to
the fact.
One of the Sad Effendi' of War.
From the Richmond Whin..
We hear of many large farmers in the
upper country who have left their beautiful
estates, and, with their ovum, have gone
further in the interior. Families from
Loudon, Fauquier and Culpepper have
been impelled to hasty retreats from their
hearthstones dear to them and their little
ones by the near approach of the ruthless
invader.
Value of Negroes'.
From the Charleston, S. C., Mercury
Negro property has not, it seems, depre
ciated in value in East Tennessee. the
Athens Post, of the 7th of March. says:
"At a sale in this county, on the 27th of
February, some negro property brought
, the following prices: dark, . aged 20 years,
1:$1.500; Betty and child, three months,
$1,131. A lot of five was sold at Knox
ville, a few days since, for the round sum
of $5,000, and we notice sales at other
points at correspondingly high rates. So,
despite the war and other depreciating cir
cumstances, negro property keeps up.
Wilbur & Son made yesterday, at the
Brokers' Exchange, the following sale of
negroes:
Four fellows, aged 17 to 28years brought
$3,426; average $856.
Two girls, $1,405. average $702 60.
One fellow, 26 years old, $925.
One boy, 9 years old, $690.
Thirteen elderly negroes, aged from 46
to 90, averaged $286 each.
The Flag Question.
From the Charleston Mercury. March 22.
A Georgia gentleman sends us a very
elaborate model for a Confederate flag. It
is the "battle flag" of Beauregard, except
that the blue cross, as well as the border
of the flag, are fringed with white. The
model may be seen at our office.

Tribute to the Irish Character.
A cotemporary thus refers to a remark
able incident connected with the Winches
ter battle:
"Two companies of one hundred and
fifty Irishmen, forced no doubt by a draft
into the rebel army, were ordered forward
to fire upon the Union troops. The bravery
of Irishmen is proverbial, but those gal
lant fellows, gazing upon the old flag so
long hailed by millions of their country
men as the emblem of freedom, refused to
raise a gun against it. They were driven
forward by a regiment in their rear, but
still they would not fire. They knew the
consequence, but they dared to meet it.—
Forty of their number were shot down by
the enraged rebels behind them, but the
rest tattered not in their stern resolve.
Those forty brave martyrs and their equally
brave surviving comrades deserve to be
honored and held in undying remem
brance. And they will be , tears will be
given to the gallant dead, and a nation's
applause to the gallant living. The Irish
troops on the side of the l7nion fight with
an energy never surpassed in the history
Of the great conflicts for liberty. The
terrible bravery and endurance of Colonel
Mulligan's Irish brigade at Springfield
has scarcely a parallel 111 , 011 our continent.
and the rebels may well dread the irre

Celtic avengers of the heroic Winchester
martyrs."

Raving been repeatedly urged to devise an in
strument capable of greater power of tone than
the Melodeon, which esouldlue afforded at a similar
coat, the undersigned are happy to say that they
have suoeseded in the manuficture of a new style
Harmonium. which can hardly fail to meet a very
general demand.
The School-Harmonium poseessee full volume is
well as a good quality of tone, is small in size, very
compact, easily moved about, and of exceedingly
durable construction. It contains two sets of reeds,
, and an effective swell, and is much louder than
the most powerful "Double Reed" Melodeon. The
I ea.ZO is strongly built of oak or black walnut, oil
finished.
Although more especially designed for shoot use,
the new instrument is equally well adapted to the I
musical requirements of vestries, chapels, lecture
rooms, village churches and public halls.
An examination of the SCHOOLHARMONI OM
is respectfully invited from Committees and Teach- •
ers of Public and Private Schools. Academies and
Seminaries. Superintendents of Sabbath Schools.
Teachers of Singing
,Schools, Pastors, Organists.
Choristers, and all ot hers interested in the devel
opment and improvement of musical taste amongst
the people. It will, if permitted probe a powerful
auxiliary to the advancement of musical culture,
