DR. S. G. HOWE, appointed by Gov. An
drew, of Massachusetts, to examine into
the condition of the volunteers of that
Commonwealth, pays this compliment to
the press;
The press is doing good service. The
reporter is everywhere-at the drill. in the
tent, upon the field. Nothing escapes him.
His eye is upon every officer and every
man; lis ear is open to complaint; his
nose is under every pot-lid. lie m0uscs,
and he moles, and he worms, until he

noble game and despite his extrlvagances,
and sensation paragraphs, he generally
hunts il down in the end. Your reporter

No question the press is doing noble SER
vice. The preparations for war are laid
open to the scrutiny of the country. Are
the uniforms shabby and the arms uuft,
the contractors and the officers are held to
account before the whole community

every fresilc, and remedy demanded by
power that will not brook palliation or
excuse.
TIE army too is constantly subject to
criticism as on grand parade. The re-
porter turns his lens upon them, and Off
Ger and private are in the sight of all for
whose good opinion they have regard
The officer dare not put on tyranuicnl airs,
even if his disposition prompted him to d.
so; the private feels no less the incentives
to noble conduct.
The Press brings all that concerns the

The Baltimore correspondent Of the Gin

who commanded that expedition. He says:

W The Philadelphia Press has some state
ncnts about shoddy that will damage the rop-
utatioH Of Eastern manufacturers unless they
can disprore the charges. It says:
There are but few of our readers who do not rec
oNect the outcry Of parties IN New England, when
the announcement was made that the Government
had ordered the purchase Of army blankets and
clothing in Europe, and had despatched special
messenger for that purpose. An assurance Was at
States that the foreign purchases should be very
limited. There is now reason to believe that some
Of these manufacturers at the time Of Masking tae

Government Financial Policy.

A
The best method Of raising the ways and
means for carrying on the Government, and pro
viding for the extraordinary expenses pressing
upon the Treasury, is probably the most i'm
portant topic now occupying the attention OF the
Administration. The estimates Of the wants
Of the Government during the current calendar
year, range from two hundred to three hundred
and sixty five million dollars. If we take the
sum OF two hundred and fifty millions as the
basis Of calculation, We shall doubtless come
within the true total. The receipts for customs
at oil the ports Of the United States during the
fiscal year ending June 30th, 1860, were S53,-
l67 5l1 81; while for the fiscal year closing with
the present month, the total win not be far
from SAC, ,0O0, ,0OO-leaving a large deficit to
cover last years expenses. The receipts from
all other sources will add but little to this
amount, so that the Government 10 called upon
at once to supply deficiency of over two hun
dred million dollars. Fn..l aal
The question Of first Importance is, therefore,
how Is this very large sum Of money to be pro.
vided2 The most natural method Of increasing
the revenue, is by q modification of the tariff,
and this will undoubtedly receive the Immediate
attention of Congress at the approaching ses-
sion. The Morrill, Tariff (it 10 now asserted)
10 not TO be repealed, but TO be changed from q
protective to revenue standard. There will
be conflict on this point, but the protecliop-
lists will be obliged to give way before the wants
of the Treasury, although 0 few exceptions
will be made, we learn, In favor Of certain pet
localites. This change will reduce the tariff
upon maby manufactured goods, In order to In
duce their importation. But In the present con.
dition Of trade, only small increase Of revenue
can be expected from that source, 90 that the
great reliance will be placed In heavy tax upon
articles Of necessity, the more importans Of
which arp now admitted free. A duty Of a.
teen cent? per pound upon tea, four cents upon
coffee, two and halt cents upon susar, and
eight to ten cents per gallon upon molasses, ID
now part Of the favorite policy. This would

The Loss of the steamship Canadian

-. OF. JOHNS, N. r., June 10.
Immediately after the collision, the Cana
dian head turned shoreward with steam on
In thirty i've minutes, when all hopes of reach
ing the shore with the ship were lost, the boat
we're lowered and sent away full of people,
Boat number eight upset, and all In her perish
ed. Five minutes after the lowering Of the
boats, the ship went down bow first, with a
heavy plunge, in forty fnthoms of water, aud
drew down all that were on board except six,
who were picked up, one Of whom afterward
died. H. ...r
tthe time the ship went down, there was
fearful explosion aft. The captains boat was
about twenty feet from the ship when it sunk,
and was nearly swsmped. Mr.. Davis, second
officer, went down with the ship; also Mr. Pan
son, the mail officer, who was endeavoring to
save the mails. Only seven mail bags were
saved. The cabin passengers known TO be lost
are as follows: Rev. Mr.. Blount. lady and two
children; Mr.. Mayhem, of Wisconsin, and
Capt Wyckman. Not less than twenty of the
steerage passengers, six Of the cabin, and ten
of the crew were lost. The passengers suf-
tered considerably from sleeping in the hold of
sslt'laden French vessel. The agents are
making them comfortable. The Hibernia will
gall for the passengers on Wednesday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Blount and two children, Mr..
Mayhem, Of Wisconsin, and Danish or Swed-
ish Captain, named Wyckman, who greatly dis.
tlDguished himself during the trying half hour
previous to the sinking Of the ship, went down
with il. M. Panton lost his life through bis
great anxiety to save the mails. Mr.. Davis,
second officer, was lowering himself down from
the ship when II sunk. The chief cook was on
the fan of the screw, but Jumped Off and was
sucked down. Young cambridge, of Oshawa,
went down with the ship, but foated off and
was picked up insensible. He Is well now. All
the passengers saved are now comfortably stow.
ed away here. Not an ounce of baggage was
saved. ....- .... t- -..-.~, -, .
