well proved courage and skill of capt Law
renee and the bravery of the officers and

Chesapcak has been entirely owing to some
fortuitous event Happening on board of her,
and not TO any superiority OF skill OF brave

Making the sum wanted
Ss,60o,ooO

Although the taxes. If early laid, may be
brought into operation inthe commence
ment of the year 1914, yet as they cannot
be expected to have their full effect during
that year, some auxiliary resource will be
required This may be found in the sum of
1880 900 dollars, which is the excess of the
Sinking Fund foi. the present year, over the
demands on that fund according to the ex
listing engagements OF the y. .. The sum
of 1900, 900 dollars may be carried to the
Sinking Fund for the year 1914. apd will be
wanted in addition TO the annual appropri-
alton of 600 900 Of dollars to meet the en-
eagements ON account of the public debt,
which mus. be fulfilled du ring that year
AS reliance must be had upon a loan for
the war-expenses of the year 1914, the lay
ing of the internal taxes may be considered,
with view to that object, as essentially
necessary in the first place, to facilitate the
obj aiming of the lean, aud secondly, for pro
curing it on favorable terms. 1t is ascer-
tanned that the terms Of the loan for the
present year would have been more favor
able il the taxes had been previously laid !;
and il is obvious enough, that by shordihg a
security for the regular payment OF the IN
terest and the eventual reimbursement OF
the principal, more stable, and less liable
to he weak ened or cut of by the natural IT
fec Is of war upon external commerce, than
revenue depending as that of tine u. D.
now does almost Wholly upon such external
com nerce, capitalists will advance with the
greater readiness and at u lover rate OF IN
terest the funds necessary for the prosecute
on of the war.
Public confidence will be ensured. and
the means afforded of preserving the public
credit uni impaired measure OF the utmost
Importance in a country like ours, where,
b. h1 l;ur
upon the people during the continuance OF
yeace, the extraordinary expenses OF state
OF war can he supplied only by resoss to
that credit.
The re ,ources of the country are ample,
and if the mesns now proposed, and those
here ofore recommended from this Depart
ment are adopted, it is believed they may
be fairly and fully brought into action.
