Ihe Finances sui The Public Rcmarkabs Aocuac! Of
Ihe Edimaie Of Secretary Chase

Mr.. voorhees,, of Indiania, q few days
ago, provoked discussion in Congress on
the financial condition of the General
Government that has developed the fact
that the expenses for conducting the gi-
gantic military operations against the re-
bellion are much less than the public has
been led to believe, and, indeed much
less than they were prepared to meet
For some months past it has been current
ly reported that the daily expenditures of
the Treasury, on all accounts. were from
three to four millions, which would foot
up an annual aggregate OF from nine hun
dred to twelve hundred millions. But 1t
appears, from a statement prepared at the
Treasury Department, and submitted to
the House of Representatives, on Wednes-
day last, by Mr.. Dawes, Of Massachu-
setts, that the expenditures are now aver
aging one million of dollars per day
They have been greater, but the aggre-
gate expenditures for the Army and Navy
since the advent of the present Admins
tration, were but four hundred and six
teen million dollars down to the 22d of
May.
So, too, about the public debt, the peo-
enemies of the country abroad have been
7 .juiced by certain sinister prophecies
that at the end of the present fiscal year,
{ June 3D. the national debt would be
from thousand to twelve hundred mi IL
ions, but it appears that on the 22d of
May the public debt was but S481, ,000,-
600, and on the 9th S485, 900, 600, in
Guiding SO, 100000 left by the Buchan-
an Administration. At this rate of in
crease the public debt viii be, on the 3Oth
day of June, 1862, about $519, 900, GOO,
or less than half the sum stated by the
alarmists.
In giving these figures we call atten-
tion to a brief table, contained on page
% of the printed report of Secretary
Chase on the finances, submitted to Con-
gres in December last. Upon the subject
of the public debt and its probable in
crease, he presented the following state
ment:
On the 1st of July, 1860, the
public debt was S64, T69, IO3
On the 1st of July, 1851, the
public debt was $50, ,S61 ,S2S
On the 1st of July, 1862, the
public debt will be $516, 372, 500
Thus, in December last, in the midst Of
the gigantic operations against the rebel
lion, with unforeseen contingencies arising
almost every hour, for which millions
might be required, the Secretary of the
Treasury estimated within about one mill
ion and half of what the debt would
probably be on the lst of July ensuing.
The actual figures, as will be seen above,
make the public debt, at the present rate
Of increase, to July lst,
1862 $4,000, 900
Secretary Chase's estimate
made in Dec. 81, calls
for s5I7, ,372, sol

sigel in Yirginia.

Gen. Sigel is again in the field
This will be his fourth campaign dur
ing the war. It was first Lyon and
Sigel then Fremont and Sigel then
Curtis and Sigel ; now, from his To-
cation. we should judge it was likely
to be Banks and Sigel. The first two
of his campaigns were in Southern
Missouri last year the third was in
Western Arkansas this year and the
fourth-Sigel will soon let US know
where he is. In all his campaigns,
Sigel has proved himself to be not
only n gallant soldier, but a most ac-
compished and scientific officer-a
master of military strategy, and of all
the maneuvers Of the ield-an IN
domitable, sclfpossessed, modest man
"a loyal, intelligent citizen. The
whole country has followed him with
admiration throughout his entire mil
itarv career in the far West; and now
that he takes the field in a new quar-
ter, he will be watched with, if posi-
ble, a keener interest. General Sigel
has already performed some Of the
most splendid feats of the war. May
his present campaign be still more
brilliant.

its saIcty-the Administration assumed the

What is an Eholitior:at1

The first, and last and most terri
ble bugbcar charge a secessionist and
a sympathizcr with treason, can bring
against the friends of the Govern
ment, is that of 4 abolitionism. Now.
what is meant by that term? What
do these men intend to charge when
they use this language?
We are fortunately able to answer
the question from the very highest
source. The editor of the . Southern
Literary Messenger. monthly mag
azinc published in Richmond, Va,
and devoted to Literature, Science
and Art" found occasion recently to
charge week ly newspaper with being
" thoroughly and hopellssIy abolition
izcd, and being desired to withdraw
this charge, declines, but gives instead
his. definition of the much misuSed
word AbOlitioaiSt. An abolitionist." F."
he says, is any man who docs not
love slavery for its own sake, as a di-
vine Institution who docs not wor-
ship it as the corner stone of civil lib
crty who docs not adore it as the
only possible social condition on which
a permanent republican government
can be created and who docs not, in
his inmost soul, desire to sec it extend
cd and perpetuatcd over the wlole
earth, as a means of human rcforma
ton second in dignity, importance and
sacredness alone TO the Christian re-
ligion. He who does not love Afri-
can Slavery with this love, is au abo-
titionist."
OF course. all who arc not aboli-
tionists," " take their stand in the ranks
of those who swear bv the Southern
Literary Messenger. They arc de-
vout believers in slavery as a divine
institution. When we see a Northern
doughface ranting about abolition
ism" we may know at once where he
bclongs.-Xenia Torch-Light.

The Rev. j. c. Fletcher gave US last

The Rev. J. c. Fletcher gave US last eve
ming, brilliant lecture on the religion, Gus
toms and people of Brazil. Seldom have We
relished anything more than the picture be
laid before his audience of that exubercnt gar
den of the tropics laden with its strange vari-
ETY. Of fruits and flowers, teeming with perpet-
ual harvest for the hand of man. Surely that
country must be the garden of the world, and
if its people had the enterprise which moves
this Yankee nation, Imagination could not set
bound to the results they would produce
there, AS relevant TO this comparison the
Reverend gentleman stated that the best Rem
edies employed there for the diseases to which
they are subject, are invented and. supplied to
them by our own well known countryman, DR..
j. G. Aver, Of Lowell, Mass, and that not the
people only but the priesthood and the court
of the Emperor down. have constant recourse

celebrated American Chemist edger, Bos-

true, but not very poetical remark 4

absent, upon pretence of being sick, from
their regiments. idling away their time in
Northern towns and cities The army is

NEGRO REPRESENTATION IN MARY
LAND.-In reply to query published
in the Republican in regard to the
representation in the Legislature of
that State, the Cecil Wing says that
the blacks, slave and free, are count

Cecil county, with 1896 whites,
and 3,867 blacks, has three members
in the House of Delegates, while
Prince Georges, with $3.50 whites,
and 1867 blacks, has the same mum
