GOVERNMENT ExPENSES.-Of the annual ex-
penses of the Government. and the extraordi-
nary expenditures likely to be caused by tie
war of rebellion, the Evening Bulletin says:
"The annual expenses of the Government of
the United States have for some years past av
eraged about SS0,000000. Secretary Chase
gives an estimate for the current year, inclu-
ding all disbursements, both civil and military
at S32000000 and it is probable that as
much will be required each year for the uses OF
the Government until our present difficulties
shall be ended. To obtain this amount the
national Indebtedness must be increased annu-
ally by about S220000000 making an accu
mulated debt in three years, should the war
continue so long, of S660,000,000. This may
be considered to be, and perhaps it is an over
estimate of what the present war will cost, but
it is well to examine the worst side of affairs at
the commencement. With the expenditure
which we have estimated as above, there seems
no earthly doubt but the United States may
hold all her territory, and be very nearly what
she was before her present difficulties commenc-
ed. This is morally certain with even tollera-
bic administration Of public affairs.
Now, suppose the war should cost the coun-
try $500, 0,000, 900 in three years or, in other
annually for civil and military purposes 1920,
OG0, 900, what is this sum for great nation !?
France and England each disburse annually
more than the amount last named, which is
raised by taxation-not suspended in the form
of national debt, to be paid during many
years of prosperity. The revenue of France
during 1860 was l600 100000 francs, or
$340, 100000, and this large amount of money
came from taxation in one form or another
Great Britain, during the same year, raised
e70O00O00, or S330,000,000, also from taxes
directly or indirectly. Here are two countries,
each of which raises from taxation annually
more than the total estimated civil and war
expenses Of the United States Government
yet the people of those countries bear such
burdens year after year, and still increase in
wealth. If the United States was put to the
test, we think her citizens could do quite as
much.'

General John E. Wool.

It is stated, upon good authority, that Gen.
Wool has rendered his resignation to the
President This step of the old General was
oceasioned by the promotion Of Gen. Mcclellan
to the vacancy made by the retirement of Gen.
Scott. The rule has been invaded before, in
our military record, of preferriug junior cfi-
Ger to senior in command and commission
We had hoped, under the circumstances exist
ing at the present time, that Gen. Wool would
not have taken umbrage at the action of the
President but we know, also, that New
York will not brook what might be termed, a
slight to her great general and, indirectly, to
her. Yet, we are satisfied this was not intend
ed in such light for, 10 doubt, the Cabinet
consulted with Lieutenant General Scott as to
his successor in the present emergency, and he,
no doubt, he recommended Mcclellan, in whose
military capacity he has the highest confidence.
We cannot blame the General for retiring.
His patriotism is undoubted, and his military
experience is Of great value to his country.

simple act confscating the property of the re-
act, slaves might have been seized and employ
ed against the rebels. But a Republican Con-
press would never have received the sanction
of the Aboitionists of the North, had they re-
cognized slaves as property-hence they added
a clause declaring that masters who permitted
their slaves to be employed in aiding the rebel
lion, should be deprived of their services-ma-
king no disposition of them thereafter. Ere
monts proclamation simply declared them free
Why not confscate the slaves of rebels, and
employ them in crushing the rebellion? There
are four millions Of slaves. Quite an army if
the Government would use them leaving the
questions of rights under the laws and Consti-
tuition to be settled when we have shown that
the laws and Constitution can be sustained
A man is justified in grasping a dirty stick
to kill rabd dog" 1t is folly for the Gov
ernment to fight the rebels and at the same
time protect them in their property and per-
sons. 1t is folly to deprive the rebels of the
services of their slaves, and not use them in
support of the Government. 1t is folly to free
them in accordance with Fremont's procla-
nation. 1t is folly to attempt to prove to the
South that the Administration is not Aboli-
tion, and to the North that is. All questions
sink into insiguiicance in comparison with
that of sustaining the Government. Let us
look the main question fair in the face, and if
the slave property or population can be of SER
vice in sustaining the Government, let the
Government employ them for that purpose.
That is my doctrine. 1t should be the doctrine
Of every man patriotic enough to desire the
perpetuation of the Government.
There is but little news of Importance from
any portion of our army. The preparations
however, from New York City to San Fran
cisco, look as though the Government was
ready to strike powerful and well>directed
blows. The exact number of men occupying
this line, Is known only to the Government,
but everybody else knows that the Govern
ment can call out ten times the amount of
troops they now have, if they want them.
1t is probable that you will soon have stir
ring news from the army, if, indeed, you do
not receive it before you do this. l had in-
tended to visit Washington, but passes to the
army are denied. I suppose there is not much
to be seen there now, but a vast military camp
and they can be seen in any town all over the

those who were working about it are confident
that in the first twenty-four hours it flowed
two thousand four hundred barrels of oil ! Up
to the time of our leaving there appeared to be

able, is the fact that this well is located not
more than twenty rods from the Funk well,
which has been flowing some four months, and
has yielded an almost incredible quantity of
