The Battle Of Balls Bluff and q
Bottle of Whiskey,

The fortunes Of the battle at Balls Bluff,
or rather the battle itself hung upon bottle
of whiskey. Gen. Evans, commanding brig
ade Of the enemy's forces, composed Of the
Eight Virginia, Felton's, Stose's, Bailey's snd
Mississippi regiment, together with a bat
terry of artillery and three squadrons Of caval-
~ numueriDg in the aggregate less than four
thousand men, bad received positive instruc-
tions from his commanding General not to en-
gage our troops in case they should cross tho
Potomac in force, but to fall back to Goose
Creek. Gen. johnson was we'll aware Of the
near vicinity Of Gen. M'Call's division. lie
knew that few hours at the moat would en-
able that General to throw bis ghoIe fo,cs
upon Evans hank and rear, aud cut off his

under such circumstances would be the part
Of rashncss. therefore he had been ordered
not TO hazard battle.
At the time the Federal courier was taken
prisoner by the enomys pickets, he was
brought to the headquarters Of Gen. Evans.
The intercepted di,pa,ches were placed before
the General. In one hand be held bottle
Of "good old rye" and 10 the other his pos
tive instructions not to fight. While the Gen.
drank aud praised the quality Of the whisky
on one hand, no damned the nature Of his in"
structions on the other. The intercepted dis
patches were handed to him. He threw
down his institutions, drank of bis whisky and
read the dispatches.
Intoxicated, he at once ordered preparations
for the mornings battle, His aids remonstra-
ted, but in yair. They read TO him his in
slructious. but he put them under bis feet.
He fought the battle the next day with less
than four thousand troops. The result is
known. After the battle Gen. Evans was
arrested for disobeyiug his Instructions. q
court martial WINS convened. He was found
guilty, but his victory saved him bis sword
and his commission.

The National Debt.

Senator Simmons Of Rhode bland is one
Of the shrewdest and most practical men in
the United States. And there is, besides, nc
one more thoroughly at home in the whole
subject Of finance thal Mr. 8. His high per-
sonal character, therefore, as well as his great
financial experience, cntitle his statements on
this or any other subject upon WHICH he as
sumes TO sreas, to the most implicit confidence.
He has Gently given statement in regard
to our National debt for which he deserves
the thanks Of the loval men Of the county,
1t is well known that the amount Of our pub.
lie debt has been loosely stated at enormous
proportions, and that our daily expenses were
one million, u million and half and finally,
we believe, at about four millions per day
Those who had fixed upon these higher fig
ures must have been very ignorant, or else had
some object in view which does not readily
disclose itself In some remarks a week ago
Mr.. Simmons said:
The debt when this administration caue
into power was $3.50, 600 600, and on the
day before yesterday it was $4S5,7s5, ,Oo5, OIL.
That is the increase after thirteen months oi
the war-tbat is all that is on the books OF
the Treasury Departmeni-or an increase Of
about S365 900, 900. Then there is in addi
ton to this an amount which is passing ,hro'
the Audior's office, and the outstanding
claims. This is perhaps $50, 100000 or $4o,-
600, 900 now in transitu, which would proba
bly, make the increase $500, 100000. Now
anybody who chooses to reflect moment will
see that this first year OF the war must have
been vastly more expensive than it can be il
it continues, which do not believe, it will
We have had TO organize and equip large
army, and get all the means Of transportation.
We have had also to improvise a Lavy and
provide pretty nearly the materials. This
would not have to be done hereafter, and any
one can see there will he no such thing as an
additional outlay Of $500 100000 or $4oO,
100000, after this, unless we have vastly
more troops in the service. l say this be-
cause | want the Senate TO understand what
the probable demands on the credit aud re
sources of the country are likely to be during
the lasi year. From the lime this party came
into power till the lst Of January. we we're
in receipt of hardly anything wha ever from
our ordinary resources. Since the lst Of Jan
uary the customs from tue loyal States have
been equal to what if the whole number Of
States were in the Union again would be
from 100000 to s9o,ooo, 900 year. -
We a,e getting from New York at the rate OF
more than $50, 900, 900 year. We are pay.
Q now, in addition to the regulsr expenses,

Of Ihe amount that would he required for this
woes, aud it was $s,697, 500, or ab ut 81,

debtedness of the Government at the end Of
this fiscal year will be about $3.50 100000 or

The CorroS FACTORIES OF New ENG
LANp.-The Boston Traveller has this inter
estng statement:
In a conversation with some OF our large
New England manufacturers We learn that
India cotton is getting much in favor with
then, and some Of them have sent largo or
ders out for this cotton, preferring II at the
present prices to American. They regard it
more favorably than the English spinuers,
since they have had experience in working il.
As to the burning Of cotton at the South,
our manufacturers consider il will operate bep
eicially to them If one half Of the crop is
burned. The stocks Of good on hand are so
large that there is no doubt Of an ample sup
plv Of cotton TO meet the consumption for
many months TO come, and the manufacturers
will be benefited rather than injured by hav
ing the staple come forward for the remainder
Of the year slowly and at high prices.
Some OF our shrewdest sod largest manu-
facturers are we'll convinced Of this, and as
far as their interest is concerned, would not be
scrry TO see two million bales destroyed in the
pisn,iug rrgions during the coming sur mer.
The consumption and the production Of goods
are both expected to be very light for several
months.

Mr.. Weed arrived in New York on The
Persia Thursday morning. A breakfast was
given him at the Astor House, at which be
made some interesting statements relative to
European sentiment regarding the position OF
the North and South in the present war. -
The following synopsis OF his remarks is from
the Evening Post:
The stat" Of public sentiment abroad, be
said, vast from gratifying. The French
Goveinme't cherished no friendly sentiments
toward us, and the people we're little better.
But Prince Napoleon was our most sincere,
earnest friend, and lost no occasion to do US
friendly offices. The British Ministry was d.
vided. Lord Palmerston aud EaIl Russ III
were adverse to us; others members Of the
Cabinet were warmly affected toward the
North. The Queen, whenever she could say
q word, always expressed The most decided
with us. Prince Albert had al
ways been the devoted friend of this country,
and his last public act had been to modify
dispatch which the Ministry had prepared to
send 20 Lord Lyons. The general unfrendly
sentiment cherished Toward us in tho Old
World, Mr.. Weed attributed to the treacber-
Gus conduct Of our diplomatic agents abroad
Full one third Of them bad for years been en-
gaged in preparing the public mind iu Europe
for the contemplated revolution, and large
number of Southern Congress men had psrtic
ipated in the treason. We in America could
have but an imperfect idea of the condition
Of popular sentiment on that continent. DR..
Russell was one of our best friends in Eng
land. He took every oc aston 10 express his
sympathy for the North. He spoke at the
clubs, to members OF Parliament, to every
body he encountered. He pronounced our
army the finest in the world; the raw recruits
were equal 10 veterans ip other couutries.-
Capitalists were surprised most Of all. Our
country was dismembered, and its extr ction
threatened by civil war OF monstrous proper
ions; vet we met a. the expenses, and were
'bie to continue to do so for ten years, with
'ut recurrence to foreign contrl buttons; and
'ur funds had not deprecated since the break
bg out Of hostilites. There was no. other
country in the world capable Of such finan.
,ial achievement. America was truly indie.
pendent.
