National Expenses and Taxation.

1t is the duty of all who are in position to
mould or direct public opinion, to discuss the
great questions Of the day with the sole desire to
arrive at the truth. All party feelings should be
aid aside, and we should approach these ques-
lions without prejudice or feeling, and with the
single wish to ascertain the best course or policy
for the nation In the examination of our ma
tiOnal expenses, and the proper measures to sup
ply the requisite means, it may be useful to COM
pare our Government upon these points with the
two great European nations, England and France
Such comparison will show that. even with the
present war, our expenses need not much, if any,
exceed those of France and England respective

revenue that our taxes will not much, if any. ex-

A KANSAS OPINION OF GEN. LANES ExPEDI
rIOS-The people of Kansas are satisfied. A
grand Division, embodying all the volunteer
force of our State and swelled by our brother:
of the West, to the imposing army of twenty
FIVE thousand men is to sweep down from ouI
borders like an avalanche upon our hated
enemies.
Two Sous of Kansas, dear to us, and renowned
through the Union, are to lead this advance
which marches TO New Orleans and victory.
Lane, whose name is a spell to hush the
frightened children Of the South, commands the
column.
Jennison, the daring, dashing Murat of the
West, ranks IA "Chef of Cavalry" and leads
the sixteen thousand horse which form the flower
OF the Division.
Yesterday, men grouping in the streets, with
glad faces, congratulated each other that at last
something here, and now, was to be done.
All regret that the merit of Jennison acknowl
edged aud greeted by the nation is not to be
badged by Brigadiership. But he does not
need it. He will occupy prouder position than
that of simple Brigadier, and the star on his
shoulder could add no luster to the fame he will
win
We now wait, and without great disappoint.
ment looming up through our fears and hopes,
can see a near future OF actual deeds.
The people of Kansas are satisfied.
