What Might Have Happened.

The people of the United Sta;es-neaning
by that term al the loyal citizens without re-
card 70 localitv-will Dot begin to realize the
ful extent of the disaster from which they
have escaped until the war is ended, and sober.
rational discussion takes the place of warlike
weapons and iufammatory speeches. The de-
feat of the North would have been only the
commencement Of series of wars aud embroil-
ments from which the country would have
emerged in fragments all unity Of interests
and community Of sentiment lost, and the fair
est portions Of The Republic either brought
under foreign domination, or struggling with
the frenzy Of despair TO preserve themselves
from a yoke more calling than the bonds Of
slavery. For the negro. with an intellect
suited TO bis servile condition, and ignorant of
the priceless blessings Of liberty, might lead a
happy life on tie old plantation still, where it
would be TO the interest of his master to keep
him from care and want, but the freeman. 10
whom bis independence is a birthright with
which he has been taught that no earth born
power has claim to interfere, would receive
with a very poor grace the restrictions and de-
privations which would follow his subjection
to foreign enemy, and to see the conqueror
Teyeling in the enjoyment Of the property which
he had passed perhaps lifetime in acquiring,
would be to him more bitter than the pangs
of dozen deaths. The South, successful,
would not have rested until she had led her
victorious armies into the North, and as she
would undoubtedly have had the support of
foreign powers another war, more sangulnary
than the first, would have followed in which
the blood of the North might have cried to
the heavens in vain for vengeance upon her
betrayers. While this was in progress, the
States and Territories Of the Pacific slope
would, in their undefended condition and with
their present scant population, have fallen an
easy prey to the first foreign power that might
see fit to absorb them" The rich and fertile
States and Provinces of Mexico would have
followed suit, and at once have been parceled
ont among the needy foreign princes, for whom
Europe has no longer any crowns to bestow.
As for Repubcanism-using the word in its
broadest and most liberal sense-driven from
its ark of refuge on the western continent,
where would it again find foothold? We
should all, \ orth as well as South, have fallen
into the condition of vassals 10 a foreign pow
er, and the sun would have set upon popular
institutions forever Exchange.

POSTAGE STAMPS Nor A LEGAL TEN
DER.--It is explained by the proper authorities
that the law making postage stamps currency
makes it the duty of the Secretary of the
Treasury and not the P. M. General, to fur
nish postage and other stamps to the Assistant
Treasurers, and designated depoSitaries. AT
ter the LIST day of August, such stamps shall
be received in payment of all dues to the
United States less than five dollars, and
when presented to any Assistant Treasurer
or designated depositary in sums not less
than five dollars, shall be received in ex-
change for Treasury Notes. Hence the law
does not make postage stamps legal tender,
nor does it require Postmasters to receive
them in exchange for U. S. Notes. The Sec
rotary Of the Treasury will furnish stamps
to be used as circulating medium under the
law, and as soon as they make their appear
ance the 'small change" embarrassment will
be entirely relieved. These stamps will be
exchanged by Postmasters for the regular
stamps, but they cannot themselves se used
In payment of postage by FASTING them upon
letters. They are to be of various denomi-
tons from three up to ninety cents i -

CAN WE PAY OUR TAXES

The tax bill now soon to go into force, will
be an entirely new feature in the experience
Of our people. No doubt its burdens will
bear heavily, and will be seriously felt, unless
we make provision in advance to meet them.
We do not apprehend that there need be
any grave difficulties in the way Of meeting
this additional burden, nor do we imagine
that there will be wanting spirit Of cheer
full submission to condition Of things which
the duties of patriotism impose upon US
Our government is worth more than il will
cost to preserve it at any conceivable price
of treasure, and they are few in number in
the loyal States who would not cheerfully
give all they possess on earth, TO say nothing
of their lives, if the Union might thereby be
restored. Those who predict that the tax
levy will produce spirit of discomfort, and
disgust of the war for the Union, have no
conception of the lofty spirit and invincible
purpose which animate the hearts of the
American people,, aya
But by stimulated and creased applica-
ton of Industry in the material pursuits of life,
and by the practice of wholesome economy,
these burdens will. scarcely be felt by the
large majority of the tax payers. There is
for instance, scarcely an acre of arabic soil
in Vermont, that may not be made to yield a
larger and more valuable crop than 1t now
does, by wise and intelligent and more devo.
ted husbandry, and SO in measure with ev.
cry trade and pursuit in life. At the same
time both family and personal expenses ma,
be greatly curtailed without producing thu
least suffering or inconvenience. In thi
view the tax bill may even be considered ;
blessing in the guise of what all are apt t,
consider a Zoe, since it will animate all in
dustrial pursuits, promote economy, and ne
eessitate an honest and economical admins
