Our National Debt and Resources
Compared with those Of England
and France. ~
AS our people are soon to be taxed for the
interest on the public debt, we have collated
from an able article on the subject in the
New York Herald, the following facts and
figures, comparing our debt and resources
with those of France and England. The
debt of the United Kingdom of Great Brit
ain and Ireland, on the 3lst of March, 1859,
was 1885, 5s5, ,o4l Calculating 81 "a mint
price of the pound sterling). The annual
interest on this debt at three per cent.
amount to S13s, ,4s3, ,os1. The British debt
per capita, is $l34 "a, and the annual
charge of debt per capita ls 81 II. The av-
erage annual increase of debt from 1893 to
1917 was $l2l,273,376.
The debt of France on the lst of Jan
uary, 1862 (estimated) was $2,2O6, ,OoO,-
900, The interest at per cent. would be
$132, $50, 900. The debt of France per cap
ita is SCI %, and the annual interest per
capita is So 81.
of December, 1851, was 275,232, ,666.-.
Further required for the service of the fiscal
year, $242, lao, ,136, making our total debt,
July 1st, 1862, $51z372, ,sO2. The interest
on this debt for the current fiscal year is
$29,932,696. Supposing this debt to be
borne exclusively by the loyal States, with
a population of $4,000. 900, the debt per
capita would be S22 so, and the interest
per capita would be 81 80 per annum.-
The total debts of the loyal States amount
to Size, 2s6, 276; this would be 81 20 per
capita. If the total national debt on the
lst of July, 1862, should fall on the loyal
States added to their own State debts, the
amount would be $3.50, ,65s, ,o7s. The charge
on twenty-three millions of loyalists per
capita will be $40 90; the annual interest
on the aggregate debts will be $44, ,437, 900;
the annual interest per capita will be 81 90.

REHABILITATION.

A reference to the above table shows that
the National debt of the British United King
dom, with less population, is more than
seven times greater in amount than ours
will be next July; quite eight timss great
er per head, and the annual charge Eve
times greater and that the debt of France
is more than four times in amount four
times greater per head, and a four times
greate7 burden in annual interest. Our
relative ability to bear the burden is not so
easily ascertained with accuracy. The ma
tional government has hitherto res.ed SO
lightly upon the people that their resources
have never been tried. Let as look mo-
ment at the sources of revenue that support
the expenses of government in the two en-
pires with whose financial condition we
have been comparing our own.
England derives annually twenty-three
millions sterling from duties upon foreign
imports; but something less than one mil
lion Of this sum is levied, after the manner
of our import duties, upon commodities
which compete with her domestic produc-
tions. The other twenty-five millions are,
in effect, taxes upon consumption, or ex-
cesses collected at the custom house. Six
millions upon sugar, five and a half upcu
tobacco, and five and half upon tea, are
all strictly of this character and 80 of all
the remainder of her import duties, except
one million of pounds. From excises, or
inland taxes upon consumption, and from
property taxes, the revenue receives thirty
millions more; from stamps eight millions,
and from other inland taxes nine millions.
here we have about three hundred and
thirty-eight millions of dollars raised by
inland taxes, and only five by customs, du-
ties, in our meaning of the word-.three
hundred and forty-three millions of dollars
raised annually to meet one hundred and
thirty-four millions of interest upon the
public debt and the ordinary expenditures
of the government.
Our debt at the END of the current fiscal
charge it's interest and if peace were restor-
ed about forty or fifty millions more would
cover the expenditures of the government.
France raises every year three hundred
and fifty millions of dollars-of which the
customs proper affords less than thirty mil
lions, and internal taxes all the rest Stamps
yield sixty-eight millions; direct taxes upon
land and other property ninety, and licens
ses, excises and other indirect taxes ninety
three millions more.
We have hitherto avoided direct taxation
We have not had much or frequent occasion
to resort to il, and we have all along had a
decided aversion to excises, stamps and col
lectors, first awakened by the endeavor of
England TO employ them against US before
the Revolution, and the ill-timed introduc-
ton of them under the administration o.

We are happy to know that Lieut.. Worden
has entirely recovered from the injuries re-
ceived during the engagement between the
Monitor and Merrimac, and that he will short
ly be placed in command Of one of the new
Monitors, where his eminent bravery and
skill will undoubtedly again rebound to the
honor of the navy, and to the confusion of
traitors. The honorable testimonial to him,
we believe, is not far from twenty thousand
dollars.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY OF THE
PoroMAc, THURSDAY EVENING, Oct. l6.-An
important reconnaissance was made to-day by
portion of the army of the Potomac in the
direction of Winchester. The division of
Gen. Hancock late Gen. Richardson's, left
Harper's Ferry at an early hour this morning
on the road to Charlestown. Three miles
from Bolivar they came upon the enc
my's outer pickets, who retired as our
troops advanced, until within half mile
of Charlestown, when they formed in
line of battle, with dismounted skirmishers
thrown to the front. By having no infantry,
they covered the approaches to Charlestownby
two pieces of artillery on the left, and three
upon the right of the turnpike, with view of
disputing our occupation of the town.
battery was soon brought into position,
and opened with shell and solid shot, which
was promptly replied to by the five rebel
pieces already in position. The engagement,
which was carried on wholly by artillery, last
ed two hours, when the rebels fell back to the
hills beyond the town. Our loss was one man
killed and eight wounded capt OuhlIh Vi the
Richmond rebel artillery, and eight men, were
wounded and taken prisoners, which is the
only loss they are known to have sustained.
The troops under Gen. Hancock, entered
Charlestown about twelve o'clock, and occu-
pied it, the>enemy leaving in our hands over
one hundred who were wounded at the battle
of Antietam. At four o'clock the Union in
fantry formed in line of battle on the right and
left of the road leading to Bunker Hill, when
they advanced, driving the enemy from the
hills, and at dark occupying a position two
miles beyond the town.
Information obtained to-day, shows that the
main body of the rebel army occupy posi-
ton extending from Bunker Hill to the She
nandoah Gen. Mcclellan arrived at Charles
town at two o'clock, where he remains during
the night. But very little Union feeling was
shown by the people of Charlestown upon the
occupation by our troops.
