Oar Military Resources.

The following extract from the Report
of the Secretary of War, will give an
idea of the magnitude of our military
resources
THE ORDINANCE DEPARTMENT.
The specific duty Of the Ordnance De-
partment is 20 supply arms and munitions
of war for sea coast and frontier fofiih-
cations, and for the forces in the held.
The expenditures for these purposes
during the last fiscal year amount TO
$40, ,63O,2l.
the cannon, small arms, and ACQUIRE
ments, for men aud horses, and ammuni-
ton obtained during the late fiscal year
by purchase and by manufacture, were
as follows 1867 field, siege and sea-
coast cannon, with carriages, caissons and
other implements; l,082,s41 mrskets
and rifles for foot soldiers; 2s2, 369 car
hines and pistols for mounted troops; l.,
295. 900 cannon balls and shells; 49,
ZIG S62 pounds Of lead and lead bullets |;
d .435. 900 cartridges Cor artillery; 1884,
O22,2f6 cartridges for small arms; 347,-
276, 400 percussion caps; 1925, 500 frc-
ton primers; 5,764,76s pounds of gun
powder; 9l9,676 sets of accoutrements
for men; 94,679 sets of accoutrements
sor cavalry horses; 2,2sl sets of artillery
harness, each set for two horses.
An immense amount of material has
been prepared for the different arsenals,
and work in wood and leather in large
quantities is advanced toward completion
fer the manufacture and repairs OF all
the various machines and implements of
war in use in the service. The quanti-
ties of tie principal articles of ordnance
materials in the control of the depart
ment at the beginning of the war. the
quantities of these articles on hand on
June so, 1868, are shown in the follow
ing tables, viz /:

paid, indirectly, heavy matster's IL
cense tax, and manufacturers tax, the
latter amounting to 3D., or I'll, 900
more than cent per SPOT e pints) or
imperial quart. The American brewer
pays manufacturer duty of only 60
cents per Dbl.
There has been one ''drect tax" of
$40 100000 levied by the United States
Oh the several States, which cannot be
repeated until 1865. This tax was upon
the lands and improvements thereon on
ly, aud is far lighter than the British ''di-
rect tax" which is not only perpetual,
but extends to mines, qusrries, fisheries,
titles, tolls, annuities, dc.
If we turn TO the cost of collecting
British taxes, We find that the average
total" cost Of collecting the internal reve-
nue. is III lilo per cent, and the saver
ag grand totaI' cost of collecting the en-
tire revenue, taxes, customes, and all, is
ii 26 100 per cent on the amount col
lected. These estimates are upon the
S342,O47,763 so total Of the British
revenue in 1851. The people will soon
have an opportunity Of seeing what it
costs to collect the United States internal
revenue, but there is good reason to be-
lieve that it will fall below IL lilo per
cent on the amount collected.
Equally interesting and instructive
comparisons can be made of the manner
in which the revenues of Europe and the
United States are expended. The Lord
Lieutenant of Irelan1, for example,
receives a salary of $500 per annum,
which is S. 800 more than the aggre-
| gate of the saleries of our President,
| Vice President, and the seven Cabinet
officers. The entire expenditure of the
Royal Family of England amounts to
little short of $2,9O4,eOO per annum,
exclusive of Sl93 600 granted on mar
riage portion of the Princes Royal, the
maintenance of the royal palaces, gar
ms. &c, and this sum compares favora-
bly, with similar bills of $3.50. 900
which the French people pay for their
Emperor, So, 1876 900 paid by the Aus
TRANS for theirs, and 81, 597, 200 by the
| Spanish for theirs.
The material for all these comparisons
on the British side of the question has
been drawn from tables found in the
British Almanac for 1868; from an
English work entitled "Taxation," by
Leone Levi, +. S. A., F. S. S., Profess
or Of the Principles and Practice of
Commerce IN Kings College, London !;
and from Taxation, its Levy Expendi-
ture," by Sir S. Norton Peto Bart, and
M. p. for Finsbury.

Position Of the Pioneer in respect to TIL

Position Of the Pioneer in respect to the
Rebellion, tie administration, and
Politics.
The Pioneer believes in crushing out
the rebellion by any means known to
civilized warfair, which will accomplish
the result; and in the employment of
such means, it will not be over-nice or
squeamish as to their character. 1t re
CARDS the rebellion as gigantic not mere
ly in its proportions, but in its criminal
ty; and the pol cies which will soonest
and most effectualIy end it, and the spirit
which gave it being. are the politics
which The Pioneer will most heartily
sustain.
The Pioneer looks upon the Federal
Administration as the only legal or possible
exponent and the agent, during its term.
of the active power of the Gnvernment.-
And, inasmuch as this is crisis in which
the Government can be upheld only by
force, and inasmuch, also, as the Admin
iStration is the only medium through
which such necessary force can pc exerted.
it will support the war measure of the
President and his Cabinet, while the
rebellion continues whether such measures
accord with the preconceived notions of
its Editor or not. The fact is cheerfully
recognized that the President and his
Cabinet are as patriotic as any men in
the land-that from their positions they
have better opportunities for determining
just policies than any others can have
and that they are weighted with respon
tibilities which compel honest action on
their parts, and which ought TO compel,
at the same time, the generous sympa-
thies and unfolding bid of the whole
loyal peple. 1t is not designed however.
that such support by The Pioneer shall
be plind and sycophantic. 1t reserves the
right of criticism, which is the proper
privilege of the independent journal; and
this it will Away employ at its discretion,
in a jurt and generous tone, and for le-
climate and patriotic ends.
The Pioneer is independent in respect
to party policies. 1t owes allegiance to no
clique or party organization. Itsupports
the measures and men best approved of
its judgment. In respect to the great
national contest of the coming year, The
Pioneer will labor to unite into single
organization the whole loyal sentiment of
the country, SO that the general voice of
the patriotic masses may be uttered with
out division or distraction, in favor of
reunited country, of constitution yindi-

The following interesting article, which
we clip from the New York Daily Tn

POWELL, well known in this county:
TO tie Editor of the N. Y. Tribune.
SIR /: The statement Of Copperheads
that unparalleled taxation is imposed up
on the people of the United States at
the present time must proceed from ig-
norance or desire to misrepresent the
facts. This may be seen from the fol

items, comparing the taxes, licenses. and
stamp duties paid by the people of Great
Britain with those paid by the people o:
the United States.
