One Good h esuIr of the War.

If the war produced no other result than
to lay the foundations for economy in the
departments of the Government, and to in
augurate healthy and vigorous financial
system for all time 10 come, it would prove
to be great blessing. Now is the time to
test the patriotism of al. classes; now is the
time for the true statesman to forget himself
and to think only of his country. If this
spirit is manifested in our legislation, the
taxes imposed will be gladly paid by the peo-
plei the soldiers will feel that their own gen.
erous exertions are being responded to by
their fellow. countrymen; capitalists will sup
ply the sinewsof war; the national currency
will be a circulating medium at par in every
portion of the land, and our great struggle
against treason will be clothed with new
moral attributes, comforting dignity upon the
contest ITSELF and enduring luster upon the
victory which, sooner or later, must close it.

Financial Measures.

"Ion," the Washington correspondent Of
the Baltimore Sun, makes the following i'm
portant statement:
The order in which the financial measures
are to be taken up in Congress will be, first,
the hundred million Treasury-note bill
next, the tariff bill; third, the internal tax
bill, and, lastly, the general banking bill.
Concerning the three first named measures
there is not much doubt as to their success
and none as to their necessity. The last
measure is to meet opposition. Many doubt
| wbe her the measure will afford so much re-
| liefto the Government as has been supposed,
even if it be put in operation.
The process of the depreciation of Treas.
ury-notes has but just begun, but there is
nothing particularly alarming in it. Gold
has been coming freely into the country for
! some months, and now the current is re-
versed. The bank suspension of specie pay
| ments does not prevent the expectation of
! gold. Four hundred thousand dollars went
out Oh Friday from Boston, and half mil.
| lion yesterday from New York. The next
Cunarder will, it is said take out nearly two
millions. Exchange has risen to lis, aud
| various causes may increase the rate.
The export of bresdstuffs to Europe must
slacken when the surplus of the present crop
shall be exhausted. We have had two abun-
dant seasons, and England and France two
| short crops. 1t is hardly to be supposed
that the same will be the case the next two
years. We may even be obliged to import
instead of exporting breadstuffs. The present
winter is unfavorabe to the wheat crop.
1t is believed that the public debt on the
Both of June next will much exceed the es-
timated amount of five hundred millions.
The war expenditures are now very great
and must be increased blythe advance of our
armies and the progress of the naval expe.
ditions. To show how much the article o.
forage will cost it may be mentioned that
twenty.slx dollars a tun is now paid for hay
and fifty. eight cents bushel for oats.
The proposed law making Treasury notel
legal tender will not prevent their depre
citation if the sum should exceed the demands
for circulation. The Bank of England notes
during the time of its suspension of specie
payment, deprecated from over-issuss
though the notes were practically legs

Lloyd Garrison's "lIoderntIon., ;,

Some journals have referred to the fact of
Garrison recently removing the motto from
his paper, "The Constitution is a Covenant
with Death and an Agreement with He'll"
as proof that he had abated in the ferocity
of his sentiments. In a recent lecture in
New York he alluded to this and re.
futed it. He said the true reason of the
removal of the motto was that death and
hell had seeded" from the Union, which,
accordingly, ne now calls glorious" He
does not abate one iota against the Constitu.
tion and the Union, with negro slavery in
them. "That Constitution" he said, "could
1T be enforced as hitherto, would still be "a
covenant with DEATH and that Union would
still be an agreement with hell" He goes
further, and says if the officers should resign
rather than be employ ed in abolishing slavery
and in aiding and assisting in servile insur
reetion, "they will be guilty of treason" TC
which . voice responded, "They ought t,
be haDged;" and Garrison continued, "theI
will deserve hanging. II such men are ou
officers, then our army is filed with traitors.
Such is the moderation" of Garrison.

Vbereto Lny Or.

The following basis for taxation has been
suggested:
l. A poll-tax Of one dollar upon every
voter In the United States, those only TO be
exempt from payment who are In the service
of the United States.
2 A tex of 25 per cent upon the gross re-
ceipts for fermented or spirituous liquors, to
be collected from Wholesale dealers upon
their sales, and from retail dealers upon their
Gales. This would have the effect Of giving
the Government nearly half the receipts of
the entire liquor business in the United
States. This should be collected by agents
appointed especially for the purpose, who
should. require all liquor dealers to make
oath TO the amount of their monthly receipts,
and in case any dealer should refuse TO make
oath, they should have the power to tax him
until he would comply with the conditions
of the law.
3. The same rates of taxation should be
levied upon tobacco, and should be collected
in the same way,
4. Assess a tax Of one hundred and fifty
millions upon the property in the States.
Let it be apportioned upon the same valua-
tion which is the basis OF the State taxes in
each State, and let each State be allowed 10
per cent. for expenses of collecting.
5. Lay a TAX upon all railroads OF one
fourth of q cent per mile for all passengers
carried by them.
There is no doubt but we shall have taxa
ton enough within twelvemouth. And,
unless the jobbers and robbers, who are now
preying upon the resources of the nation, are
hanged, the people will not bear it without

Rooms OF THE SOCIETY,


The Society met at the usual hour, with a
fair attendance of members. The report of
the Council was submitted, in which it was
stated that the Council for the ensuing year
shall consist OF the following members: VIM.
Adds, Gosnel Sleath, Francis Pentland, NJ.
McWilliams, John Jackson, D. Baldwin,
Thomas Knott, j. E, Mottier and j. N. john
son.
Mr.. HEAVIER, of the committee appointed to
report on the Presidents Message, submitted
the same, which, at the request of Mr.. H.,
was laid over until the next meeting, the
committee asking time to make a more
elaborate statement.
An interesting letter from Judge j. H.
James, on the subject of the early planting
of orchards in the State, was read before the
| Society.
The following seeds were received for dis
| tribution among the members of the society
| from the United States Patent Office; Seville

Mr. Cranch stated that there were reports
that the seeds sezt out from the Patent Office
for distribution were all humbug, and that
the seeds thus furnished were only of kind
not worthy of cultivation. He suggested
that the Council take the matter into consid-
Grafton, and furnish their views on the sub
ject. The Society had something else to dc
than simply to receive the seeds, plant then
and report on the same. He would, there
fore, move that those who were the recipients
of these donations from the Patent OfficC
should inform the Society of the result as Il
the growth and usefulness of the plant.
MessTs Orange and Heath had received
these seeds for several years past. and hat
always found them great advantage Il
their gardens. g
Mr.. Gerard stated that his experience hat
taught him that such seeds were failure.
The question was discussed by variou
members, and was still being considerel
| when NO left the t0Vms.

Tie New secretarx Of War.

It's said that the distinguishing qualities
of Mr.. Stanton, the new Secretary of War,
are uncommon force and decision of char
acter. If full scope be given to these the
war will not languish while the department
is under his charge. All the warlike pre-
parations which have been made at such
immense cost will be Immediately made to
converge on their great object the cloud of
war which has so long darkened the borders
of the rebel States will sweep over them
with all its tempests. Mr.. Stanton is one Of
those who hold that the war is to be prose
cuted in earnest; that the insurgents, having
renounced the Constitution and ell their
rights under it, are no longer to be treated
as under its protection, and that those who
seek to shelter them by claiming for them
tie immunities which it secures to loyal
citizens, are little better than their accom-.
plices.

Thompson's Bank-N Reporter contains
timely caution, which, in these days, when
rascals thrive and public robberies and
frauds upon the Government go unpunished,
it would do well to heed. 1t is that quite a
number of coupon Treasury-notes are in
circulation with the coupons all cut off, and
a number of which have been passed for
their full value. The coupon.notes are made
payable three years after date, and are dated
August 10 or October /, 1861, and should
have interest coupons attached for each hal
year, except for the last half year, which in
terest is payable with the principal. 1t il
needless to say that the holder Of note
minus the coupons, has no way to get the in
terest.

New pepot for PrisOners Of War.


According to a description in the Cleve-
land Herald the new receptacle for the pris.
oners of war now preparing on Bulls Island,
in Lake Erie, will be as little like prison
as possible, and in summer delightful resi-
dence, barring the necessary restrictions
upon personal liberty. The island lies
within Sandusky Bay, about two miles from
Sandusky, Ohio, with easy access by ferry.
1t comprises about three hundred acres,
with no marsh or swampy ground within its
borders. Sixty acres have been leased by
the government, and the necessary buildings
will be ready for occupancy by the first OF
February. The buildings now erected com.
prise storehouse, three houses for officers
quarters, soldiers barracks - each are
large and roomy-and hospital building,
in dimensions one hundred feet long by
twenty four feet wide, we'll adapted TO its
| purposes. To the east of these buildings i;

1t was announced some time ago that
General Pillow had resigned his position in
the rebel army. The Memphis appeal gives
an account of his farewell to the army,
which looks more like a burlesque than
any thing else. The troops came together,
and the ditch digger rode silently through
the ranks with uncovered head, the tears
rolling down his face. 'Snce Washington's g

The Enemies to Fear,

The enemies we have to dread are the Sc
cessionists in America, and the aristocracy
in England. Jefferson Davis is desirous of
war: Earl Derby is desirous of war; Davis
is anxious to ruin the Republic in order to
advance treason; Derby is anxious to ruin
the Republic because Repubicanism is op'
posed to aristocracy and feudalism. The
true men in England and America are for
peace, because peace advances liberty and
reform in England, and the triumph of lib
eIty in America,
