The intedge'cer Of this morning learns
from two intelligent officers Of Ellsworth's
Houayes, who arrived in this city last night.
one of whom left Centrevile at 4 p. NJ, and
the other Fairfax Court House az noon, that
up 10 the time, at these respective points no
rebe! force had appeared, which would seem
sufficiently to indicate that it is no part of
their purpose to undertake anything like an
advance towards Washington. Affairs wear
more cheerful aspect to-day. Fresh troops
are continually arriving and they appear to be

THE COST or THE WAR.


WILL THE WAR MPONEllLH IltE a.. s.
When we are told that che expenses of the war
amount 20 one million of dollars daily, or at the
rate of three hundred and sixty-iye millions per
annrm, the amount seems enormous that we
naturally and almost inyountarily conclude that in
q very few years the country must be- hopelessly
sunk in hankuptcy but closer examination of
the subject will show that there j, little danger
OF the country becoming poorer than at present in
consequence of the war, even If it should be con
tinucd for several years, provided the crops are
not cut off, The whole question resolves itself in
to this Can that portion of the population still
engaged in Agriculture, Manufactures, &c, sup
port themselves and also feed and clotho those en-
gagged ia actively prosecuting the war; If they can
do this without borrowing or purchasing ON credit
from foreign countries, then they can sustain the
war without becoming Impoverished as nation,
whether the nominal cost Is one on two million
day. We will suppose the army TO bc composed
of 100000 men. The population Of the Union
States and Territories heartily engaged in crush
ing the rebellion, may be safely assumed at 20,-
1000 This will leave l9,7OO,O 600 not actually
engaged in the war II we allow 10000 600 TO be
children, incapable of supporting themselves, and
also allow nine millions more, who can do no more
than support themselves, and the l0OOl,OOO chill
dron we shall have 100000 left TO maintain the
800, 600 soldiers Il is said that England, at the
close of the long war with France richer in
everything that constitutes the wealth ot nations,
than at its commencement; that in fact during
those twenty years OF war, she laid the foundation
OF her present and future greatness, Ii England
fifty years ago could maintain her immense armies
in the field, without running in debt to foreign ma
tions-her national debt is principal, owing TO
her own cit2ens) the nited States can accom-
plish the same thing now, when by the invention
Of improved machinery, in agriculture as well as
manufactures, one man can do the work of three

THE CnLONELCN

A correspondent Of the Rutland Herald en-
quires why the colonecy Of the third Regi-
mem has not been rendered to Capt; Truman
Seymour of the Army, who, we are reminded
by the correspondent aforesaid is a Vermont
en- The enquiry is proper one, and we are
glad to be able TO answer it.
The correspondent Of the Daily Herald is
informed that the colonecy of the third reg
iment has been rendered TO Capt. Seymour
but the War Department refused to release
him from the regular service. And he is not
the only Nermonter in the army Gov. Fair
banks has applied to to take command Of this
regiment-thc best material for a first rate
regiment yet sent from this State into the
field He has applied repeatedly, urging each
time additional considerations, to Col. Phelps,
to take the command, but without success
He has urged Capt Colburn of Caseleton,
another Nermonter, and a distinguished off
Ger in the United States army, 10 accept the
position, but with no better success.
The fact is the Governor has been constant
unremitting and persistent in his efforts to
get an army officer and a Vermonter to take
the command of the regiment, and we are hap
Ply to be able to state that at last, through
much importantly of the Governor, Capt WIN.
+. Smith Of the Engineer Department of the
regular service will probably be allowed TO
take command of the third regiment Capt
Smith has expressed an ardent desire to take
command of such an excellent body of men.
and the probability now is that he will be per-
mitted by the War Department to do so.-
lie is expected to arrive in town to-day OF
tomorrow and upon his arrival assume the
command, and depart with the regiment on
Wednesday for Baltimore. Capt. Smith who
is a Vermonter is one of the most distinguish
ed officers for learning, accomplishment and
bravery, in the United States service, and will
make "a commander to be proud Of Gale

ANorHER KIND OF DEAuH WEAroN .-
A young mechanic in Detroit, Michigan, ma

case is separate, aud after the barrels are dis

Spring hammers, raised by means of cams,
fall upon the percussion caps and discharge

terry is able to sweep a space of four hundred
feet in one minutes time, and like limo in
two minutes more. This deadly machine has
been named the pale Horse" 1t carries the

MYSTERIES OF THE HAnEAs CoRrus.-A
St. Louis paper says:
Among yther applicants for a writ of ha-
beas corpus wac one Of the Camp jackson
captains young lawyer, who had adopted
an ingenious device to get rid of his parol and
oath Of allegiance, but it did mt work SO beau
tifully as expected. He went to the arsenal
and renounced his parole, and surrendered
himself a prisoner, and of course was detain
ed as such. He Immediately sues for writ
OF habeas corpus, to test the legality Of his
arrest, and made full case for all the rest.
Judge Catron decided that if the promise he
made when released from arrest at Camp
Jackson, was invalid, it does not interfere
with his liberty, and it did not cause his
present alledged detention, for he voluntarily
renowned his freedom, and was now held in
obedience to his free choice The captains
predcamont was here made so ludiorous that
the humor Of even the secessionists had to
give way, and they smiled with the rest
The captain is still at the arsenel--wonlering
over the mysteries Of the habeas corpus act.
