PUBLIC DEBT.

In mentioning the public debt, when
e now accumuiating with astonishing
rap,di,y, we have generally named the
mount Of the loans as the sums TO be
added TO the amount Of debt. tbs Is
accurate enough to give general IDEA
Of the subject; bu, the public ought TO
know that this is not correct view' q
that the debt crea.ed Is much larger
Than the loans granted 10 order to raise
the money on The loans, the government

which was granted in one loan, the ma

. tax on the country which will be Sc
yerely felt. The sums, together with
the ordinary expeDces of government
must be paid BY direct taxes, as the
treasury notes will swallow up all the
revenue, which might be expected from

UNIVERSAL PEACE.


The horrors Of war must be sincerely
deprecated by every well wisher to the
human race. And accordingly, we must
all look forward with delight, to the peri.
cd when concord shall embrace and bless
the world. +,
All! when shall reasons intellectual ray,
Shed DER the moral world more perfect
day
When shall that gloomy world appear
no more,
A waste, where desolating tempests
roar p
Where savage discord howls in threat'n-
ing form,
And wild ambition leads the madd'ning
Where tedious carnage marks his dan
CIRCUS way,
And where the screaming Vulture scents
his prey?
All come blest Concord chase with
smile serene,
The hostile passions from ;he human
scene -
May Glory's lofty path be found afar,
From agontzing groans .aad crimson
war;
And nav the ardent mind that seeks re
nown,
Claim not the martial, but the Civic
Crown

LATE FROM ERIE.

A letter from Erie, dated October
II, 1915, to the editor of the Pitts
burge Gazette, says. We have
had q very severe storm here since
yesterday morning-the wind from
the south west, which increased un-
ill after sunset. when it blew with
still greater violence until eleven
o'clock. accompanied with snow and
HALT has somewhat abated. but
the snow still continues, being now
three or four inches deep, and would
have been much deeper had it not
dissolved considerably as it fell in
consequence Of the ground being
very wet with heavy rain.
During the gale of yesterday
morning two small trailing vessels
from up the lake, came to anchor
about one and an half miles below
the harbor, but the wind blew so
fresh the hands could not come on
shore. In the afternoon the small.
est of them disappeared. and it is
feared the crew have perished.-
About 4 o'clock in the afternoon q
schooner from Com. Perry's squa-
dron came to anchor off the point of
Peninsula, but could not send her
boat on shore she made signals this
morning and fired guns. after which
boat firem the Lawrence was man
ned and went to her, but has not yet
returned.
"There is one circumstance which
happened at the capture of the Bri-
fish feet, on the 10th of September.
which believe is not generally
known, at least / have not seen any
account Of it published-that is, two
Indians were on board the Detroit
when she surrendered they had
been placed in the tops. it is sup
posed, to pick off our officers, but
after the first broadside from the
Lawrence they skulkedbeiow. Com.
Perry asked one of them, who could
speak little English. what he had
been placed there for /; he replied to
shoot Yankees.
81 have this moment heard, that
one Of the trading vessels mentioned
above belongedto Mr.. Erastus Park,
of Buffalo, which had been trading
up the Lake, was drifted ashore about
nine O'Clock last night two miles be-
low this place, and went to pieces.'

A letter from Grand Key, Turks l.
STAND, states" That on the 24th OF Au-
gust. a most dreadful and violent Hur-
ricane occurred at that piace, during
which above 100 dwelling houses were
overturned and totally destroyed. many
of which were large and valuable, and
that the greater part Of the furnltnre,
provisions and clothing therein, fell a
sacrifice to the storm; that the negro
barracks, out houses, and fifty plantation
houses we're likewise destroyed as also
thirty dwelling houses at Salt Key, and
every other building ,bereon in addl.
ton to this loss, above half a million OF
bushels of Salt were destroyed; that
there are not more than 80 houses stand
Ing on both Islands, and OF these more
than half are much shattered and hard
ly habitable.
The letter writer observes, that with
this serious calamity staring MS IN the
face; we have in prespect Famine,
as there arc not provisions enough to
serve The inhabitants for one fortnight !;
what is to result from this disastrous
state of things God only knows: as our
small craft is entirely destroyed, leaving
us without the means of seeking chari'
ty from our neighbors,"
