How Much Tnx Can We Rsnr,

1t being pretty well understood that there
is no other way to carry on the present war
than by a resort to direct taxation, it has
become matter of inquiry as to how much
taxation the country can stand. A compar-
ison Of the resources of this country with
those of foreign nations is made, and the
immense sums expended in the wars of the
old world, which were raised by taxation,
and by nations much less able to bear the
burthen than ours, is cited to show that the
means Of carrying on the war can be raised
without taxing the people beyond en-
durance.
The great struggle with Napoleon increased
the British national debt in twenty-five
years by the vast sum of f6Ol, 500, 343-equal
to more than three thousand millions of dol
lars. In 1893 Great Britain and Ireland had
population of less than fifteen millions;
and the Government entered on the war
with debt of over G239, 100000, or about
eleven hundred and ninety FIVE millions Of
dollars; and an annual revenue of about one
hundred millisn dollars. In twenty-five
years it borrowed three thousand million
dollars, besides increasing the taxation to
such an extent that during the period from
1893 to 1901 the annual revenue averaged
forty six million pounds sterling-two hun
dred and thirty million dolars-with a
population of little over fifteen millions;
and in the succeeding period of 1901 to 1915,
with population of somewhat over seven
teen millions (three millions less than that of
the loyal Ststes) the annual revenue reached
the enormous sum Of three hundred aud
forty million dollars. At the close of the
French War, in 1916, Great Britain owed
over four thousand two hundred millions of
dollars, and had on her hands a military and
naval establishment a hundred times more
costly than our own will be at the close of
the present war; while her natural resources,
though great, were not nearly SO vast as our
own.
Great Britain is not held up as an exam
pie for us to follow; her wars are levied to
spread her power at the expense of Other
nations. But we may we'll turn to this par
Of her history for encouragement in oul
own affairs. During the greater part of the
period above mentioned she was at war with
half the world, and had the other half in her
pay. With her commerce preyed upon by
hostile cruisers; with her merchants unable
to dispatch cargo without an expensive
convoy; with her products excluded from the
Continent; with every disadvantage to her
industry, her rulers and people steadfAstly
kept in mind the great principle that, when
you want new loan, you must first devise
new source Of income and that the way K
keep up a nations credit is to borrow q
little as possible, and raise as much as posi-
bic by taxation.
In 1913 the total expenditure of Grea
Britain was els, 900, ,OOO-$599 100000 Sh,
had in that year l,lO7, 900 men under arms
and feet of ,OO9 ships, Of which 6l3 Wer,

The Charleston Courier inquiries:
What are the planters agreeing or intend-
ing to do as to planting cotton for 1852
Some have advised and agreed thatno cotton
be planted unless the blockade and war are
removed from us early in January. Others
urge that for damestic consumption and
other obvious reasons, some portion OF crop
should be planted.
We have EXPRESSED an opinion, as a hint
and basis, that each planter should give to
cotton one. fourth-and not more; and, if
preferable, one-ffth of the area of his last
crop. What do the planters say2

Remarkable Suicide.


A remarkable suicide has taken place at
Naples. A Mr.. Keurick, an elderly gentle
man, appears to have formed idiSoH with a
Miss Gray young and pre- tty Englishwoman,
with whom he has been living at Rome and
at Naples. 1t appears that Mr.. Kenrick's
relatives in England, who are wealthy, paid
no heed, under the circumstances, to his sp-
plications for remittances, aud that the two
thereupon resolved on suicide. From what
subsequently transpired, it seems that they
must have gone directly to the public gar
deps of the Villa Reale, on the sea-shore,
where, the cafe being open, they took glass
of rum or rosolio. They then climbed over
the low wall of the villa, where semi-c circu-
lar space overlooking the sea is furnished
with stone seats, and descended on the beach,
where Miss Gray tied her dress round her
ankles, and filled it from the waist with sand,
Mr.. Kenrick effecting the same purpose by
filing the bosom of his shirt, his waistcoat,
ard coat sleeves with sand and stones, Miss
Gray supplying the necessary strings and
tapes from her own dress. They then tied
themselves together round the waist with
their pocket handkerchief, and deliberately
lay down to die in the sea, which at that
point is not more than two or three feet
deep. They had the resolution to endure
suffocation, and their corpses were seen in
the transparent water next morning at day
break by fisherman. Mr.. Kenrick's life
was insured for $4,000, which his heirs lose
from the fact Of his having committed suicide

1t is said by some that the recent action of
the workingmen of this city, in relation to
the expected removal of the Government
work necessary for the Western troops from
this city, was premature and uncalled for,
and that no such intention exists on the part
OF Government. Be this as it may a state.
ment was made in a Philadelphia paper
that large manufactures were about to be
established in that city for the purpose of
executing all the work needed for clothing
the troops, etc. 1t may have been canard.
By the notice below, which we copy from
the st. Louis Republican, it will be seen that
the same fears existed there that did here.
The Quartermaster explained the matter. 1t
may be that the same will apply to this city:
The subjoined letter from Quarterma astsr-
General Meigs refers to matter in which
many hundreds of poor women of this city
feel deep personal interest. A great deal
of concern has been felt here in respect to
a rumored closing of those workshops that
have been the scarce of support for so many
sean stresses of st. Louis, "in this time ot
distress" 1t was only yesterday that we
were called upon by deputation ofladies to
draw attention to the danger impending
of a removal of the work of making soldiers
clothing to Cincinnati and Eastern cities
To take away at this season the means Of
subsistence of a very large number of women
and girls in st. Louis, would produG a vss
amount of suffering, aud we are heartily GLAD
that whatever fears have existed on this
subject may now be banished. The letter o

SENATOR STARK, OF MIssoURT.-If the new
Senator from Oregon is a true man, be should
sue bis face for li6el. He has long, evasive
countenance; shiny, sandy hair; narrow
forehead; white eyebrows; colorless, pale
eyes, nearly closed, which watch furtivey,
felinely; mouth whose expression is hidden
by mahogany whiskers and mustaches. l
should think he would feel i'll at ease in
Bakers place. should think the ghost OF
the dead patriot, murdered by the treason
that Stark has smiled upon, would rise be-
fore him and discomfort him. He is not to
be envied in his honors. The tool of dis
affected Governor, the misrepresentation OF
the honest sentiment of his State the sue
cessor of man whose glory dwarfs him, he
is to be congratulated only on his pay, aud
his ample mileage. Perhaps he is satisfied
With that.
Anyhow, the halo of past worth still
sanctiies the name of the young and loyal
State. In spite of the trick of little men
and the presence of their agent in the hearts
and MINDS of the people, in the tender
memories of Senators aud the eloquent sug
gestious of history, the seat of the Senator

Mr.. Lloyd Garrison has removed from the
head of his paper, the L6eratOr, the motto
declaring the Constitution Of the United
States "a covenant with death and a league
with hell" He has, perhaps, discovered that
the present war is to put down a rebellion
against the very instrument which be has so
grossly stigmasized, and that the violence Of
ultra Abolitionism is only embarrassing the
Government in the prosecution of a war
which may, if carried on successfully to its
end, effect, as one of its inevitable incidents
though not as one of its objects, the extinc-
ton Of slavery. 1t is historically notorious
that the cause of Emancipation in America
has been retarded, rather than advanced, by
the indiscreet action of the most fanati-
cal of the members of the Anti-Slavery
Society, and the best thing they can now dc
for the interest for which they profess SC
much zeal, is to keep quiet and let event.

Arrival of a: Released PrIsOner from
Charleston.


Captain ]. ". Sprague, of Company E,
Seventh Ohio Regiment the first prisoner
returned from Charleston, 8. c., arrived in
Washington on Friday last, having been
exchanged for prisoner taken at Hatteras.
He was captured August ii, near Big Birch,
Western Virginia, by detachment of Wise's
rebel cavalry, under Colonel Oroghan. He
was accommodating with only two dragons
when taken. Captain Sprague was carried
to Richmond, where he remained until Sep
tember 10, when he was transferred to
Charleston with one hundred and fifty three
officers and men. The number was aug
mented by prisoners from sea, among whom
were Csptain Morrill, and crew, wrecked in
the OSceoLG, and Captain Dickinson, cap
tured by the privateer Sally. Thres pris-
oneIs died in Charleston. On January /
the prisoners were transferred to Coldmbia,
s. @, fear being entertained that the city
would be taken by the Unionists.
A great panic was created by the capture
of Port Royal, and the surrender of Mason
and Slidell was received with hoWls of dis
appointed rage. The publication Of the sur
render in the Charleston papers was sup
pressed until four days after II was known
by the prisoners through their guard. The
officers lived on jail fare, in dirty jails, and
were treated with no consideration. They
have been generally healthy in Columbia
where the air and water are pure. Troops
were rallying for the defense of Charleston
The prisoners met Oalhoun's battery, eigh
field pieces and two howitzers, between
Charleston and Columbia. Governor Wis
