Probable Expenses of Government Oh a
Peace Footing

TFrom the Bankers Magazine for March,
Assuming the rebellion to be subdued, and
peace restored to the country by the first day
of July, 1862, we shall, by that time, have a
public debt Of at least 800, 100000; portion
of it drawing 3-l0 per cent. interest. We may
assume the aggregate interest to be, in round
numbers. $50 100000 annually. Upon the re-
turn ofpeace the people will demand that some
provision be Immediately made for the ultimate
payment of this debt, in accordance with the
practice of the Government, which has twice
contracted and twice paid off large debt.
Unlike those Of other Governments, the debts
created by our own have always been regarded
as commercial transactions, to be fully dis
charged on day certain. BY our theory the
people constitute the Government, and the
same parties that contract a debt are to pay IT.
There has, consequently, never been dis
position, either upon the part of the nation or
the paying States, for one generation to post
pone the obligations created by 1t, or throw
them upon the next. We must be true to our
traditions, and to principles which constitute
one Of the brightest pages in our history. Ihe
Committee estimate the sinking fund will be
at least $l0OO0,00O annually, making yearly
charge OF 60,000,000 on account OF the ma
tional debt.
If the rebellion were subdued to day, the
spirit of discOrd which evoked it, to quell
which 100000 armed men have been called
into the field, will have to be watched for an
indefinite period by large military force. 1t
is not probable that we shall get along WITH an
army numbering less than 100000 men, the
annual cost of maintaining which may be put
down at $75,000,OOO. Upon an average, our
rmy on a peace footing, has cost us 81 200 an
nualy per man, rank and file. In the war in
which we are now engaged, we present the
extraordinary spectacle of an army hardly
ever before equailed in numbers, hired at the
rate of wages paid to able-bodied men in the
various peaceful ayocations from which they
were drawn. To the men in the ranks, $l3
per month are paid, with their food and cloth
ing.
The same causes which will compel us to
maintain large army, will also compel US to
greatly increase our feet. We shall very
probably undertake to match, in number Of
guns and in appointments and effectiveness
the most powerful navies of the Old World
For this and our coast defenses We may put
down 500 1000, 900. The civil list Of the Gov
ernment for the future will absorb $50, 100000
making the total aggregate of $25O, 10000, as
follows:

GREEN RosEs.-Speaking of this vegetable
freak, the Columbia Courier says: There is
nothing now more extraordinary in a green
rose than there is in red one. They are quite
common all over the State. Sontag's Nurse
ry, at San Francisco, introduced them to the
gardens Of the Pacific slope, and from this nur-
sery they have gone to almost every town in
California and Oregon. Niles Mills, Esq.
first brought il to this town, about five years
ago, and the same bush now stands where he
planted it, within few rods of our office, and
its Observation-Disclosures grown from the cut
tings of it-Aourish in all the gardens around
these dggngs. Singular colors in roses and
other flowers are usually produced by the florist
by artificial crossings; but the green rose is
supposed to have been the result Of an acciden'
tai intermingling of the roots of the rose and
common sumach trees. It was first discovered
in North Carolina, and is quite common in the
county of Bladcn.

GoTToE BuRNIHG.-An army correspon.
deot, writing from North Carolina, states
that recent orders, issued by the rebel au-
thorities at Richmond to burn all the cot
ton liable to fall into the hands of the Fed.
erals, are being carried out all through the
eastern counties of that State. Armed bands
detailed for this duty, rode night and day.
sezing all the cotton they could 6nd, and
applied the torch. The route of our troops
from Newbern TO Beaufort was illuminated
by cotton ffres,, aud the burners we're au
thorzed 10 shoot down. any man who re.
fused to deliver up bis cotton for this pur-
pose. According to the Richmond papers,
the rebel Government was recently placed
in possession of Information to the effect
that a secret understanding had been en-.
tered into between Secretary Seward and
the English and French Governments, by
which Seward had promised England aud
France all the cotton they wanted, as soon
as oar armies got possession Of the South
on condition that neither of those powers
sIould interfere with tie blockade. Hence
the orders Of the rebel Government for the
general destruction of cotton.

DEATH OF A. S. JoHNsToH.-There can
be no longer the shadow of doubt that
Gen. A. S. Johnston was killed at the battle
of Shiloh, or Pittsburg Laodiug, as was re.
ported by telegraph. The battle, it will be
remembered. lasted two days, and JOhO-
ston was killed at half.past two o'clock on
the first day, about the time our troops
were being driven back towards the river.
In q message to the rebel Congress, JEFF.
Davis encloses dispatch from Col. Wm.
Preston, narralng the manner of bis death
10 the following words:
General Johnston fell yesterday, at half-past
o'clock, while leading a successful charge,
turning the enemy's right, and gaining brill
liant victory. A MIME ball cut the artery OF
his leg, but he rode on until, from loss Of blood
he fell exhausted, and died without pain in a
few moments. His body has been entrusted to
me by Gen. Beauregard, to be taken to New
Orleans, and remain until directions are receiy-
ed from his family.
1t appears by the message of jeff. Davis,
and by resolutions Of coincidence adopted
by the rebel Congress, that Johnston was
commander.in chief Of the rebel forces,
Beaugegard being second in command.

THAT EMANCIPATION PRocLAMATToN.-The
report received by telegraph, to the effect
that Gen. Hunter had Issued a proclama-
tion emancipating all the slaves 10 South
Caroline, Georgia, and Florida, was unex-
pected, and took people generally by sur
prise. The dispatch giving the purport OF
Hunters proclamation was dated at New
York on the 10th inst, and reads as fol-
lows:
Gen. Hunters proclamation is as follows:
That the three States Of Georgia, Florida, and
South Carolina, comprising the Military De-
partment of the South, having declared them'
selves no longer under the protection OF the
United States, it becomes a military duty to
proclaim martial law. This was accordingly
done on the 26th of April. Slavery and mar
tial law in a free country are altogether lncom-
patible. Persons in Georgia, Florida and South
Carolina heretofore held as slaves, are, there
fore, declared forever free.
The San Francisco Evening News su9-
gests that the two last sentences are mere
ly comments of some paper, or news gath
erer, upon Hunters proclamation, and no
part of the proclamation ITSELF The asser-
tion that ''savery and martial law in free
country are altogether Incompatible" is an
absurdity. No country can be called free
while under martial law, and the intelligent
reader need not be told that despOtic gov
eFnments are best suited to slavery. Be.
sides, had such proclamation been issued
it would have created great sensation in
the Eastern States; but advices two days
later make no mention Of it; hence we con-
clude that the declaration Of emancipation
is merely the deduction of some abolition
let, which has been erroneOusy telegraph.
ed as a part Of Hunters proclamation.

REVOLUTION IN NAVAL WARFARE.-We
confess that Mr.. Stevens plan Of avoiding the
exposure of gun crews, by placing the huge
guns of his iron monster on the exposed mail
protected deck, to be worked from below by ma
chinery, had for us the objection that the fire OF
the enemy being all directed against those guns
they would speedily be broken, as we often see
the muzzles Of guns shot away. Butthe expla
nation that these guns are to be covered with
armor, applied directly to them, thus furnishing
a solid iron backing to the armor instead of a
wooden one, relieves the difficulty. The grand
feature of Mr.. Stevens plan is this: placing the
armor upon the guns, instead Of around them
saves nine-tenths Of the weight and cost of the
armor since the space occupied by it is in thai
proportion reduced. This says nothing about
covering the great wide open throats Of these
terrible monsters, down which shot might bC
fired so as to spike the gun if left exposed. We
presume, however, that the inclined armor is tC
be in front of the gun as well as around the
sides, and that the muzzle will be guarded by 8
sliding plate of armor.

ADDITIONAL EASTERN NEws.-The Trans

ADDITIONAL EASTERN NEws.-The Trans
crpt issued an extra, at noon to-day, CIV
ing some additional news from the east, but
the dates are no later than the news in an
other column. A Washington dispatch of
the 18th, states that Hunters proclamation
was issued without the consent of the Pres
ident, and members Of the Cabinet say it
cannot be sustained. The battle at Will
liamsburg was much more severe than was
supposed by the first reports. The Federal
loss 10 killed, wounded aud missing Is est-
mated at $500, aud that of the rebels at
not less than 5000. The Federals captur-
cd ] 500 prisoners,of whom 800 were woun-
ded; but the rebels captured one of our
batteries and made good their evacuation.
Gen. Wool has been confirmed as Major
General. Advices from the Federal camp,
near Cornth, indicate that Halleck is pre-
pairing for battle. Orders have been is
eued clearing the camps Of all hangers on
including reporters, and any one attempt
ing to evade the order will be compelled TO
work on the entertainments. A report
reached Cairo, on the evening of the 10Th,
that Beauregard had asked for an armistice
Of ten days, aud the matter was being con-
sidered at Halleck' $ headquarters, when the
boat left Pittsburg Landing.

The Patterson TribuIation,

Everybody has settled down into the
beliefthat there was either treason or i'm
beclity; or both, some mewhere 10 the Pat
terson campaign, which reached tbe cli-
max at Bull Run. Just where has not
been of'late so plain. Gen. Patterson
boldly demands an investigation, asserts
that he acted in simple obedience 10 posi-
tive orders, and hints that there were fac 8
affecting either the head of the army or
other high officers, which could not be
brought out while Lieutenant General
Scott was in command. but which, now
that the veteran Las retired, can be dis
closed.
Mean while an attempt seems making 10
conciliate Gen. Paterson, stave off invcs.
tigation and create the impression that the
whole trouble lay in the already ascer'
lained treason Of clerks in the War De
partmeut.
Thus the New York Herald of the 9th
has this:
"The proposition Of General Patterson,
io' an ih'Sohba''ou INV tlo management
Of the campaign on the Upper Potomac,
is said to have much more significance
than the simple vindicalion of himself,
Ii is stated, ON high authority, tha, an
examination Of the orders aud dispatches
by which his action was controlled, will
show that they could not have been trans
mitted to him as they we're issued by Gen
Scott, but were altered or tampered will
in the course Of their transmission, an,
10 this cause his failure to move agains
Johnston when he was expected to do 81
is altogether attributable.
And the Tribune gives the following
which is not without Its significance:
Two weeks since Gen. Mcclellan re
qusSted of the Secretary of War the ap
pointment of Frank Patterson, son Of GEL
Patterson, as Brigadier General. Yes
tcrday an order for his appointment wa

Those fond lips tryto speak again,
And through the darkness one has gone:
