The Treasury Report.

The annual report Of the Secretary of
the Treasury recommends a non extension
OF the foreign trade, ..an increase of the
duties, a more absolute reliance on Ameri-
can labor, the imposition of taxes on bank
notes, tobacco, stills, liquors, legacies, etc,
and the substitution of United States
Treasury notes for the whole system of To-
cal bank paper, which as the circulation of
the latter amounts to $3.50, 100000, would
add that much to the national resources
Tor present use. The actual and estimated
expenditures for the fiscal year 1862 are
stated at s543, ,406, ,422 06, and the actual
and estimated receipts at 1925, ,501 1894 sc,
making a deficit Of s213, ,90+, ,427 IS.
The estimated expenditures for the fiscal
year 1868 are stated at S475, ,331 ,245, and
the estimated receipts at s95, 100000,
leaving a balance of 1919, ,531 ,245 to be
provided for The whole amount required
from loans is thus stated: For the fiscal
year 1862, under existing laws, S75, ,499,-
675; for the fiscal year 1862, under laws
to be enacted, 1915, ,531, ,245 81; making an
aggregate of s654,980,92O 81. The tctal
may be stated in round numbers at six hun
dred and fifty five millions of dollars The
public debt is estimated as follows: On
the lst day of July, 1860, the public debt
was s64,769,703 08; on the 1st day Of
July 1861, S9O,867 ,828 68; on the lst
day of July 1862, the puplic debt will be
S517,372, ,802 90 on the lst day of July,
1868, s897372, ,802 90.
This debt, Mr. Chase thinks, the coun.
try could pay in thirty years.

BRIDGE blrnfnu IN Missouri.

ST.. CHARLES, Mo, Dec. 21.-A pre-
concerted movement was made last night
by the Seeessionists along the North Mis-
souri, Railroad, aud the rebels recently re-
turned from Prices army, by which about
one hundred miles of the road were nearly
destroyed, or at least rendered useless, COM
mencing eight miles south of Hudson
They burned all the bridges, woodpiles,
tanks and ties, tore up the rails for miles,
burnt them, and destroyed the telegraph
line. This was continued to Warrenton,
where the work ceased.
How many were concerned in this vii
lainous work is not yet known, but there is
no doubt that it Was 4 preconcerted and
simultaneous movement of the citizens
along the road, as no single party could
have accomplished SO much in one night
Three hundred of the villains are known to
have been engaged in the destruction Of
the bridge and track at Warreuton.

sat in my room, on a midnight dreary,
Counting the rain on the roof;
Hearing the roll of the wheels awsary,
And the clank of the horses hoof;
Hearing the fall of the distant feet,
That echoed along on the distant street,
And the hollow song of roistering rhyme
Striking in with the clang of the midnight chime
sat in my room while the gas burned low
On the dead-white chamber wall,
While. pale and haggard, and full of woe,
And strangely lank and tall,
A stony fgue in silence stands
Watching the moves of my trembling hands;
Watching the drop of my weary eye.
With dim, grim smile at my every sigh.
gazed at this figure in solemn awe,
This spectre so gaunt and gray,
Who came not by the bolted door,
With his ghostly, shadowy way.
saw that the rags on his shrunken form
Were dripping with wet from the midnight storm
saw him shriveled with pain and cold,
And his face looked prematurely old.
With shiver dread in every vein,
spoke to this man of stone;
And every word he spoke again
Where the echoes of my own,
" What dost thou here in the midnight deep,
When the world is Tapped in its sweetest sleepY
"What dost THOU here, he said again,
"When the pillow claims thy wearied brain?'
"What art thou, thing of a bloodless life,
Whose presence is death and shames
Whose every word is the stab of knife,
What is thy dreadful name?"
For a moment flashed his eyes in light,
Then darkened again, as in endless night;
"Whoever shall know, shall never forget
The time when he wore the chains of DEBT.
"whoever shall once, in thoughtless way,
Wear those golden chains for me,
Shall labor and toll for many day,
Before his limbs are free.
At first my chains are of FURNISHED gold,
And worn in rich and gorgeous fold;
But they grow in weight, and they grow in size,
With every speedy hour that flies.
"But /, with magic all my own,
Can change these chains of gold
can turn them to iron, and eat the bone,
And gnaw the flesh till the heart grows old,
Till the clothes shall hang in filthy shred,
Till the eyes shall look like the eyes Of the dead,
Till the arm shall die in its palsied pain,
And the blood run cold in each icy vein.
"Who weareth my chains shall know no hope
Shall crave no length of life;
Shall die by drug, by knife and rope,
Or live in blood and strife.'
With his golden chain the shape drew nigh;
sprang to my feet with a shuddering cry,
There was nothing to hear but the swell of m
scream,
And nothing to see but the mist of my dream,
