The WAR DEBr.-It was announced in Boston
recently that the debt of the u. S. government was
$4,000 100000. Chase, Lincoln's Secretary of the
Treasury, at once wrote letter stating that the
debt was only $640, 900, OOO-increasng at the rate
of Sl,25O,oOO per day. We have no doubt Chase
has spoken falsely. Last winter, sometime, accord
ing to our recollection, he made nearly similar
statement showing the Indebtedness to be nearly
what he says it is. 1t is certainly between one
and two billions.
MIR: Memmnger, announced the Confederate debt
few months ago to be, as well as we now recollect
over $37O, 900. This we presume does not in
clude the debts of the States for which the Confed
crate government is pledged after the war is over
and we have established our independence. Add
ing the State debts, the debt incurred during the
war so for in the Confederacy must be over $780,
100000. We arc sure that our debt cannot be
half as much as the Northern debt
WHERE IS IT TO END ?-Our armies arrest domes-
tic traitors, and in destroy their proper
ty ard then, by way of retaliation, the Yankees
come along and destroy the property of true South
ern men, Both sides destroy, but the loss falls en-
tirely on the South. The Yankees lose nothing by
it. Every house even which is destroyed, to say
nothing of corn and cattle, weakens the South
But This is soar. 1t is what feared in 1860, and
hence our earnest efforts to avoid it But it is upon
us, and we must get through the best way we can.

A QUAKER CoRNERED.-Old Jacob j.
wasa shrewd Quaker merchant in Burling-
ton, New Jersey, and, like all shrewd men,
was often q little too smart for himself
An old Quaker Lady of Bristol, Pennsylva-
mia, jast over the river, bought some goods
at Jacobs store, when he was absent, and
in crossing the river on her way home, she
met him aboard the boat, and, as was usual
with him upon such occasions, he immedi-
ately pitched into her bundle Of goods and
united it to see what she had been buying.
"Oh now" says he, " how much yard
did you give for that, and that, and that?"
taking up the several pieces Of goods.
She told him the price, without; however,
saying where she had got them. "Icould
have sold you those goods for SO much a
yard" said he, mentioning price o great
deal lower than she had paid, .sYou Know
! can undersell everybody in the place"
