FINANCES OF THE GENERAL GOVERN
MENT.

L
We see by an interesting letter from the
Correspondent of the Nashville Republican,
that according to an estimate made by Mr..
Bell, drawn from authentic sources, and exhib-
tied in his recent mastery speech before
the House of Representatives, the aggregate
amount legally chargeable upon the Treasury
in lS4l, according to the report of the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury, is thirty-two million six
hundred and ninety-four thousand nine hun
dred and forty-seven dollars. Aggregate a.
mount OF items legally chargeable upon the
Treasury in lS41, not included in the Secre-
tary's Report, three million and sixty-seven
thousand dollars; making the whole amount
legally chargeable upon the Treasury in IS4I,
thirty-fve million seven hundred and sixty
one thousand nine hundred and forty-seven
dollars; to provide for which, the Secretary
In his Report estimates the receipts of 1S4l
from customs, Public lands, miscellaneous,
Treasury notes, banks, and balance in the
Treasury in lS4O, at total of twenty-four
million seven hundred and twenty-five thous-
and eight hundred and fifty-fve dollars-ma-
king a deficit of eleven million, thirtv-nine
thousand dollars of the necessary expenses of
lS4l. Mr.. Woodbury. himself, estimates the
falling off in the receipts from the customs for
the year 1912, at five millions of dollars, SO
that the prospect of IS42 is still less encour-
aging. Mr.. Bell estimates the deficit of lS42,
at fifteen million five hundred thousand dol
lars The object of Mr.. Bells speech is to
impress upon the present Congress the neces-
sity of their making some appropriations 9TH
er than those contemplated, in order to avoid
the necessity of an Extra Session.
The present Administration in their tamper-
ing with the finances of the country-in their
ruinous experiments and miserable expedents,
have entirely deranged the usual order and.
routine OF business, and will 60 out of office
leaving the new Administration encountered
and embarrassed. 1t is therefore, nothing
more than right, that they should now endeav-
or as far as lies in their power, to repair the
wrong by removing as far as practicable, the
obstacles they have thrown in the way of the
Administration that is about to succeed them.
Will they do it! We shall see.

willing to sell at small profit, he is sure to ad-

rather sly about. Men and women who have

PASSENGERS FOR NEW ORLEANS.

Just arrived at our port of Williams Land
ing, the handsome and fast running steamer
Cumanche, Capt John Mason, Commander, d.
rect from New Orleans. We have not yet
received her manifest, and cannot. this week
give the amount of cargo or her consignees--
but will in our next. In the mean time, as
many of our friends wish to 60 to the "Cres-
ent City" about this time, we would advise
them to get ready as soon as possible, and Sc
cure freight and passage, at an early hour on
board the Cumanche. 1t is unnecessary to
speak of her accommodations, or the atten-
ton and polteness, of her gentlemanly COM
mander, since they are generally known and
appreclated-so hasten gentlemen, as it is be-
leved the Cumanche will be quite full of pas
sengers this trip.

Gen. Harrlsons progress from Cincinnati
towards Washington, as far as we have vet
seen any accounts of il, was marked with all
:. fine honors, and with more than the enthus-
~asm, of a Roman triumph. Particulars we
cannot give.
In brief, then: After receiving numberless
congratulations at the various towns he passed.
between his home and Pittsburg, he left at the
latter city the steamboat Ben Franklin and
his neighbors, who had accompanied him thus
far. The thousands and tens of thousands who
congratulated him at Wheeling and at Pitts
burg-the roar of cannon--the waving of kerr
chiefs, &C. &c.--must be imagined They
are given in minute detail by some of our edi-
torial brethren. @
From Pittsburg he assembled the Mononga-
hela river in the steamboat Loyal Hanna to
Brownsville; and thence was to cross the AL
leghanies, via the National or Cumberland
road, in a splendid siX-horSe coach made for
the purpose by the StocktonS, TO Frederick
town, Baltimore and Washington.
At Baltimore, preparations were making to
give him as magnificent reception as was
ever giVen TO a public man, not excepting any

An honorable Erample.-The following we
lind in the Maysville Eagle. 1t is related of
Mr.. CRADDoCK, a member of the Kentucky
Senate from the counties of Hardin & Meade:
"Slr, (said Mr.. Co. what have said here TO-
day has been said in rough way, and, if it
has wounded any Senator, J hope he will at
tribute 1t to no unkind feelings, but to my
want of the polish of education. Sir, your
Superintendent Of Common Schools has said
that there are many men of family in this Com
menwealth who can neither read nor write,
and 1t is but to true. My own marriage bond
has my mark to it; and my son who sits in the
other House, was stout boy when learned
TO write"

tor, but good lawyer What more need he
said In his praise?

OUR CABINET MINISTER'S.

Talents are requisite IN public officer; but
industry and integrity are equally important
qualities, No matter what may be the intellec-
lua endowments Of man, we must consider
him fathless officer if he lacks business habits
and industry. The time that public man sub
tracts from the period which ought to be devo-
ted to the duties intrusted to him, is so much Of
a peculaton on the treasury of the People To
receive pay for the pretence Of work not actu-
ally done is dishonest. We have often thought
that, il the public servants would judge Of their
own obligations with the strictness of accounta-
biliy, they apply to those whom they employ,
and put on dleness in their own case, the stg-
ma Of dishonesty, the work Of the people would
be more efficiently performed.
The true principle seems to influence our
public men now high in office. If the clerks in
the Departments are not eminently industrious,
i is not from the want Of proper example in
their chiefs. Most of the Heads Of the Depart-
ments, we understand, are at their posts long
before what are called office hours The Secre-
ary OF State is often engaged in the duties Of his
office until midnight. The Postmaster Gene
raj is at'work before breakfast and the Secre-
tary of the Navy takes the lead of all his clerks,
and is frequently at his desk, in the Department
before the Messenger has had time to rouse up
good fire. The Secretary Of War and the
Secretary of the Treasury, are both indefati-
gable in their labors Such examples are worthy
of imitation.

DOMESTIC EXPORTS.

The people Of the country should accustom
themselves TO become acquainted with the re.
sources, and commerce Of the country. They
should ascertain what articles Of production pay
the most profts-compare the aggregate produc-
ton Of different articles with different wears
and see how prices vary with the increase or di-
miLution of those articles. In this way they
can acquaEt themselves with the principles OF
political economy and thereby advance the great
interests of the country. Mere industry
plodding on from day 10 day, and from year 10
year, without a knowledge of what is most
wanted for home consumption, or foreign expor-
tation, will neither promote private or public in
terest The progress of our national prosperity
must go step by step with the progress of know
ledge.
The division Of labor requires that each class
IN society should attend in some measure exclu-
slvely to their own particular pursuits; and the
interest OF all requires that each should do his
duty. 1t IS the duty Of the press to spread be-
fore the country daily information relating to
the three great branches of American industry
Agriculture, Commerce and the useful Arts.
This must be done too in a manner correspond
ing with the genius Of the age-it must be done
with brevity, and with promptness-for the cha
