that the national debt arising from the present
war would amount to six hundred millions OF
dollars by July 1862 AS the expenditure will
probably be continued for at least another year,
the whole debt Will then amount to twelve or
fifteen hundred millions Of dollars But, as
s1uning that the struggle should be prolonged
for another year, the debt accumulated III two
years from the present time, or IN three years
from the beginning of the war, Will not be less
than t,ro thousand million Of dollars. The IN
terast upon that amount will be from five per
cent. to !. 80, according to the rate and condl-
tons Of the securities The average Will be
about six per cent. which is nearly double the
rate of interest upon the English debt. The
interest upon the American debt would thus
amount to $40, 900, 600 The interest on the
English war debt on the 3lst of March, 1860,
