Cosr OF THE REELLroN.-From the It'll of
March, 1861, TO the LIST OF July, 1862, the
amount actually expended by the United
States for the suppression Of the rebellion was
1892 GIL 314. At this rate, the yearly cx-
penditnrc would be about $500 600 900, and
the average for each OF the four hundred and
eighty days taken into the calculation is
SSI8,01l. This is important, as it utterly
refutcs the statements of those who charge
the Administration with daily expenditure
Of two millions.
Duiing The four hundred and eighty days
taken in the calculation the civil expenditures
ot the Government were about $50 10000

THE STAY Aw.-Thosc tardy or
dishonesty inclined debtors who have failed
to comply with the requirements of the Stay
Law by paying a fifth part of the judgment
or decree against them by the first of Novem
Der, have to-day lost all further benefit from
the law. SO far as they are concerned, the
stay law has expired, and they can now be
proceeded against in the good old righteous
way that was in vogue before Seccssionsm
cursed the land. Executions can again
issue, and honest creditors once more com
pei their dishonest debtors to fork up, or be
cleaned out by an officer. Money never
was plentier than at present, and it is very
apparent that the debtor who has not COM
piled with the law, after such long term of
grace, has no intention of paying his debts
until compelled to do so. Leniency is UNI
kindness to such man, and is criminality
to the community. 1t only encourages and
fosters dishonesty and scoundrclism. We
hope never to see another such political
blundcr in Maryland as a stay law.

while the Fairy was on her way up from

met watcry grave. 1t seems that Miss
Anna A. Christopher was standing On the
cabin deck with Mr.. Richie. The guards
of the boat were very low, and the space
between the cabin and edge of the boat,
where the unfortunate couple were standing,
is very narrow. The statement published

The river was smooth and the weather calm.
1t is believed that looking at the water as

FIRE.-On Thursday morning last,
about four O'Clock, tho pot shop of John b.
Magcc, at North East, was discovered to be
on fire. The alarm was given, and soon a
number of citizens were assembled, who with
buckets, carried water from the rivcr,--the
pottery being located on the river bank-and
succeeded in preventing the fire from COM
municating to the adjacent buildings. That
part of the establishment where the fire orig
mated and which, we believe, was used as
drying housc-was consumed. A quantity of
green ware, which was ready for the kiln was
destroyed. The whole amount of the loss,
as estimated by Mr.. Il. l.. Thomas, who
owned the building, is about $500. No in
surance. 1t was believed that the fire origin
atcd from pipe which was in too close prox-
unity to the roof. Mr.. Magcc is a manutac-
turcr of" stone ware" and has been doing a
profitable business.
The town of North East has no fire engine.
