As one of the evidences of the gallantry

Florida, too, is now furnishing to the ar

response to interesting statements he would
say. That's good: we ought TO thank God

The Yankee Debt.

The Pennsylvanians are becoming res
tive under the prospect of having to pay
their share of the public debt. The Phila-
delphia Sunday Mercury says ''the nation-
al debt is now, or soon will amount to the
enormous sum of three thousands mNions
of dollars. of which the proportion char
geable to Pennsylvania will be one sixth,
or fire hundred millions Of dollars" On
the 1st day of September, 10, 900 soldiers
were entitled to pensions, and $4,000 in
addition, it was thought, would soon he
added to the list, making 25o, O09-assu-
ming 500 as the allowance per annum to
each pensoner, would make 1874. 900;
of which one-sixth-Pennsylyania's share
would be $4,000 900 per annum; equal to
a principal Of 500, 666, 666a For the
sake of even figures, we call it $67 ,OOo.-
000," says the Mercury "This will
make Pennsylvania's share Of the public
debt five hundred and sixty seven millions !;
the interest on which, at six per cent. say,
IN round numbers, tliryJ four millions, she
will have to pay annually in the shape of
taxes" The share Of the city and county
of Philadelphia will be $1,000, 900. year.
~. The Revenue Board, in 1863, fixed
the value Of all the property in the State,
real and personal, at 1896, 600, 900. The
State debt is $38. 100000.
The Mercury thus states the account:

Means and Resources. The census of
1860 gives the following valuations of prop
erty in the Confederate States: Virginia,
1898, 246, 681; North Carolina $3.50, 739,
800: South Carolina, $548.13S, 754; Geor-
gia, $645, 895. 237; Florida, $73, 101 500:

Use, 473; Tennessee. 1913. 993, 1872; Ken
lucky, 1928, 212.693 ; Missouri, $780,
These sums make in the aggregate &c.
231 1893, 1913. It would be moderate to
say, that the valuations Of 1860, averaged
and aggregated to suit the enhanced prices
Of the present time, should be multiplied
FIVE fold, which would produce the sum Of
$31, ISL, 963, 900. From this deduct what
may be supposed to have beeu destroyed by
the war-including runaway and stolen
slaves and the proportion Of property in
accessible and unavailable by reason of the
presence of the enemy, and an approximate
estimate may be formed Of the taxable
means and capacity Of the country.
The Richmond Wing thinks if our cur
rency is saved from sufocation, the ability
Of the Confederate States to supply means
for carrying on the war is we'll nigh mex
haustible.
