The Precision of oua' Rotonaac
Bctte,ies.-A Washington cor
respondent writes:
Since the Administration has
acknowledged the blockade OF the
lower Potomac, the rebels have it
all their own way on that river
Being now in unmolested possession
of the right bank of the stream,
they have been diligently occupied
during the past week in strength
ening their batteries, erecting new
ones, and increasing the armament
of all. They have also practiced
a good deal with their rifled can
non, by which means they have
acquired the range of various
points on the channel, so that
they can now make every shot tell.
Gen. Sickles, while riding with his
staff near Liverpool Point, on the
Maryland side, a few days ago,
came very near being shot by one
of their rihed cannon.

Wharf.-The War isCoslips the North;

| Mr.: Secretary Chase, in his an.
nual report, laid before Athe Con
gress at WASHINGTON, says, that if
the present war shall. eontinue
until the lst of. July next, the
public debt tof, the Federal Govern
ment will, be, S5I7,322,s0S! And
further, he Estimates the public
debt of that government, if the
war shall continue until July, |,
1868, at $900,000,000!
When the people of the North
shall read this report, and COM
pare the enormous expenditures
of the government with its perfor-
mances, it must excite reflection
and serious and grave inquiry
What is it for? Where is it to
end? What has been done??--
What is to come of it? ~ $50
If the war continue till July 1st,
1868, the people of the North,
ruined by the movements of ar
mics and the depression of trade,
and ground to the earth by such
taxes as are now imposed upon
them, will find themselves burden
ed, according to Mr.. Chase's esti-
mate, with a debt of $900,0 900,
bearing nearly eight per cent, in
terest. To pay this interest will
require $4,000, 900 annually
perpetual tax will have to be in
creased SO as to yield about $780,
coo, 900, and, kept at that rate for
thirty years! And this, Of course,
of the ordinary expend-
itures of the government, which
may be set down at $780, 100000 a
year. l.,,a. Ia.

Al account Squared:-It will be
remembered that one of the .unex-
ploded shells found in the Navy
Yard at Pensacola after the bonn
bardmentfina 'swent off" several
days after and killed two of our
men who were trying to remove
the fuse. That account of blood
was squared with a vengeance it
seems, by similar performance
of one of our shells which fell in
Pickcns. The officer of the Nj
agara who writes the narrative
elsewhere published adds the par
agraph: 4h.r
A sad accident happened at
Fort Pickens this morning. AS
some of the men were removing
the "fuses" and emptying the pow
der from the shells that fell inside
the fort and; did not explode, a
spark of FIRE from the chisel used
in removing the fuse caused the
she'll to explode, killing five and
wounding two. 3ia ,.5y s

results have followed the cessation
Of that commerce. The western
States of Europe are trembling
under it. Our own North mo-

as it will by and by. But survey
the West-with no choice of an
outletto Europe save through New

former price, and all its purchases
at double that price. In fact, the
farmer of the West can scarcely
raise produce at current prices
Tie gross yield of his farm would
not pay the wages of the hands
necessary to raise it. No part of
the United States is more afflicted
by the cessation of the Southern
trade. Men now see the fallacy
of all those theories that belittled
Southern industry, and the impor-
tance of Southern commerce with
it, to the rest of the United States.
Let us give some credit to the men

One Hundred Rebel Houses Bnrnt,

We have received an interesting
letter from our, special .cofrespon-
dent with the army Of the West.
A terrible and devastating guerilla
warfare has commenced in the
portion of Missouri adjoining
Kansas Col. Jennison, stationed
near Fort independence, having
received nosreply to the proclama-
ton calling upon the secessionists
to take the oath of allegiance, sent
detachments of troops in every
direction, and the houses. of one
hundred were burnt. In one skir-
mish a rebel named Fitzpatrick
was captured, tried and shot. The
reasons givenfor this by Col. Jen-
nison were, that Fitzpatrick, had
killed a federal officer, whose
arms were found upon him, and
that he had shot a Methodist
preacher while standing guard
over him. The rebel died game,
shouting for JEFF. Davis and the
South as he fell pierced with the
bullets of the soldiers. i

suggested to us that it would be
well to call the attention of those
engaged in packing beef and pork
for the government to the unsuita-

which have contained whiskey Or
ether spirits. An inexperienced pack
er tells us that meat put up in such
barrels is almost sure. to sour; nor
will soaking the barrels for even a
considerable time, relieve them of
their obnoxious qualities. This is
a fact worth knowing by house
keepers generally, as well as those
who pack for others. - t.
