-President's message upon the soldier :
BCFORZ PZTIIRSUURG, Dee. 14.
:• My Dim. Leader: I was cantering along
our outer line of works the other day,
when I came across a.very dirty artillery
man Cua an ammunition chest, reading the
•:
P.reamtis message.
"Well, my man," said I, in that distin
g*uished and encouraging tone which I al
ways employ towards the hunible, "well,
my man, what do you think 'M the mes
, .
sage?"
"I don't think of the mesaage,boss,"
acid he.
"Well," said I, "how•do you think it
will please the publio
"I don't think it will please the public,
boss," said he. •
"Hal" said I, ''but bow do you find its
eloquence and force ?"
"I don't find its eloquence and force,
bose."kaid he.
"D—n it all," ssidi 1, "what is your
opinion of it, then 2"
"Well, boss," said the man, "to tell the
truth,. I havn't much opinion of it."
• "What objectionti have you against it ?"
I asked.
"Now look a-here," said he, describing
a geometrical figure) in the air with* the
stem of his pipe, "I,,werst and 'listed into
this yef artillerf l'Or two year, in, '159.
When my time wus out, I read in'all the
papers, nod especially in proolamatious,

"Sir," said I, rather firnily;'''tile rebel'
lion is a mere shell"
t "Father Abram doesn't say 'so in his
:ttessage," said he,' "and he'd ought to
know. Ef he thinks so why didn't, he tell
his soldiers so ? No, iboss, I'm ifeerd he
doesn't think so. Ef your folks ask you

mere was certainly some justice in the
man's remark, uncouth as it was. / my.
self have been doing • the former for four
long years—the end id not yet.
I have talked with i goad many soldiers
and officers about the meesage, and find
that this poor.artilleryman's opinion is
shared by many who wear stars and eagles
on their sboulders. •
The docUment is cold, grave, not the
!eget bit , enthuliaskie or hopeful in its
tone, however much encouragement we
may gather from itafacti. The , only ref
erence in it that bears upon the possibility
of ending the rebellion, is' the doubtful
phrase, "If the warishould extend another
year," ,There is nothing in the message
to indicate that the war is unlikely to ex
tend into another four, six, ten or twenty
years. It seems accepted in the.words
my artilleryman, u quite a regular and
satisfactory (audition of the country.
God forbid!
New the Com Wends Ladle• Talk.
We are 'permitted to make the fi:k:llos
ing extracts from f private letter,lwritteri
by a young lady at Plymouth, North - Car
olina, to her relatives in this city. :She
has one brother in the Northern and two
in the Confederate army, and one df them
had just been at• home for a visit. We
quote rig follows:
" The United States soldiers came here
while•he was at home and they would sit
and talk as though they were besthers.
They 'would call him •brother reb,' 'atm be
would call them !brother Yank.'i I wish
this war would end, for I want to see my
brothers meet again. • • : 0 1 There are
very few citizens in this county now.—
They have nearly all been 'driven from
their homes. The Reba would Come avid
run the Buffaloes to the Yankees,, and
then the Yankees would retaliate. We
ere between two' fires now, and the only
way for a person to get along here is to be
h good reb when the rebs are about,''and
a gbod Yank when the Yanks are here.
A person dare not act from principle.
"There is nothing to be bought either
in the clothing or living line. We have
to make all the clothing we wear. I have
spun and woven by myself, without the
least help, one hundred and fifty yards of
cloth. I have made me a beautiful home
spun dress, with Illunces to my waist.—
The flounces are trimmed with red. I
call it my artillery 'dress. I have, alai),
made me a Confederate cloak and gaiters.
We make our own hate—wheat straw for, ,
Winter, palmetto' for spring, and Indian
corn hulks for summer- , -and we make a
ribbon out of the lining of mulberry bark
to trim our hate. They are plain, I know,
but .they show what Southern girls will
do for Southern rights.
" We expected when the rebs got pos
session of Plymouth they would lay the
country waste ; but, they anted like gen
tlemen, and did no further damage than
to cyll out the conscripts. I enjoyed -my
self very nicely while they were here. I
went to four bolls and severs! drill par.
ties. The ladies all drooled in home
spun, and looked as nice as though they
ware dressed is silks. We acorn silk and
mother lace, and• wear home-spun with
much grace. We envy not the Northern
girl, her robes of beauty rare, nor the
pearls that deck her hair.
"Write me what the people out there
think about the war, and which side they
think will be victorious. The people here
think the South will gain her indepen-
Idence. There are some among the low
class of people who think old Mr. Link.
will subjugate the South. As to the
slave', I care nothing for them ; but our
rights we will .have or lose every man in
the Southern Confederacy. The South is
just preparing to commence the war—she
, has just, oommenoed to strengthen her
self."

consolation, while rre are desponding OtoSr
the condition of onr government finances
and the enormity 'of our liabilities; n ,the
fact that i lhe national debts of the princi
pal naticans of Europe have also - siargely
increased within the last few years. Not
withstanding the strenuous efforts which
England has made to reduce her indebt
edness, it appears that her debt is now
nearly as large as it was fifty years , ago,
when she was just emerging from her pro
tracted war' with France, and is one hun
dred and twelve millions of dollars greater
than it, was as may be seen by
the following table showing her aggregate
liabilities at various periods :
Yeir. ; '.L , - Debt. ,
1815.1 $4,300,000,000
1829 ' ' 1 .. 4,000,000,000
1834 4,865,000.000
1849 . ...,, . 3,955,000,000
1853 - 3,845 080,090
1846 ' . 3.057,000,090
*England has struggled hvir for half a
oentury to reduce her public debt—with
what success may be seen by the abuse
figures—and at the awl of each year she
has barely beep enabled, as Mr. Gladstone
remarked, to make both suds meet. •
And how has it been with France 1 Is
1851 the French Gwen:moat owed $802,-
000,000, or /us than half of the present
debt of the United States. In. 1853 she
had increased to $1,218,500,000; in 1880,
to $1,7001000,000 ; and now her national
debt amounts to $1900,00000 0, which,
with floating bills to the extent :of $168,-
000,000, makes the,aggregate liabilities of
the empire as the present time foot up
$2,068,000,000. It appears by these' fig
ures that the debt of France has increased
more rapicity..within the last ten. years
-than that of any caber notion in Europe.
The Italian States hkire also been ex
vending money without stint, they har
ing increased ( their liabilities in three
years from $453,000,000 to ,P 00,000,000,
or to nearly half the present debt of the
United States, without a tenth part of the
resource's wherewith to meet et: Aad'the
same, in a : greater or less ratio, may t)e
said of Riisehs, Prussia, Denmark, and
many othei• countries.; so ths,t we dnd
the present time the debts of the different
nations of Europe reach the aggregate of
$12 0 500,000;000, which is about the
