The substitute Clause i'm the Couscrip,iou
Law.
From the Albany Evening Journal.

XVI" 'ne aioahy Evening journal.
The Communication provision (scction
l3) will be objected to by those who will
not take the trouble to understand it
But when understood, it will, we are
sure, commend itself to every one. The
$500 fixed as the price of communication,
scr such sum as the Secretary Of War
may determine" is to be paid "for the
procuration of substitutes IF this pro,
vision was not in the bill, substitutes
would still be procured by those so dis
posed, and who had the means to do so.
This provision, therefore, gives the rich
man no advantage which he would no,
have under any law which sanctions the
principle Of substitution, while it com
pels those who, under any circumstances
would procure substitutes, to pay a snu
somewhat commensurate with The ex.
emption provided. The Government
needs money as well as men and the
money thus obtained will be expended
for the benefit Of ,Le men who enter the
service. The idea is not au original one.
1t has been in force in France for manv
years, and is found to work equitably
and satisfactorily.

The White Baby.

Among the slaves brought from the
coast is a grandmother and q numerous
family. The elder woman is tall, state.
ly, and digniied The blood of some
proud race fushes her almost white face
Her daughters are both whittier and
darker than herself, and her grand
children are whittier still, and some of
them very beautiful. One babe is per.
fectly white. 1t has floral blush, san
dy hair, and blue eyes. But its skin is
very fair, its eyes large, lustrous, aud
brown, while not vestigc of the kipky
hair wculd shame the proudest Anglo
Saxon mother to ca it her own. 1t was
amusing to one who has been cultured
into the belief that human liberty is not
based upon the color Of the skin or curl
of the hair, but on the eternal principles
oc right and wrong, to witness the atten-
tion paid to this child of some freeman
born into slavery through the dreful
curse laid by the law upon its mother
No doubt its father, whoever he may be,
holds up his hands in holy horror at the
idea Of legal emalgation, reads his Bible
to find some semblance Of the old jewish
law, to prove it ''divine institution"
"and talks wisely, and on the streets
too," about the degradation and licen.
tiousness of the negro race. This little
white lamb among colored flock was
petted and patted, and even kissed for
it was kept sweet and clean iu pink and
white. What world of thought clus-
tered about this one sweet child "She
has stolen it," said one. "She has run
away with her mistress child" said an
OF er. But the great brown eyes, so full
of subdued sorrow, revealing even in
baby yhood the wrongs of another, were so
exactly duplicates of those that looked
down upon it tenderly, that there was
not left room for the shadow of doubt
that she was its true mother. "Oh, how
the soldiers at Ft. Pulaski did curse and
swear at the institution Of slavery when
they saw that baby! said an officer to
me, as we stood looking ct it. "They now
wish to fight it to the death" ."-Mrs
Gage at Beaufort ... ., a.......

From the Nashville (Tenn.) Union, March %.
Some thirty refugees reached this city
on Sunday from East Tennessee aud
Cherokee county, North Carolina. They
relate many revolving cruelties practced
by the rebel fiends in that fearfuIly OPP
pressed region, upon loyal citizens. They
state that two companies of Cherokee
Indians are acting as provost guard in
Knoxville. These savages act in the
most horrid manner The rebel cavalry
scour the country in squads, one Indian
accompanying each party in search Of
Union conscripts, who are endeavoriug
to fee the country. The rebel Provost
Marshal has offered the Indians i've dol
lars for every Union man they kill. A
short time before the refugees fed, they
saw party Of Indians coming in with a
string of fourteen ears which they had
cut from the dead bodies of Union men,
this being the mode which they have
adopted to count their victims For
each ear they received i've dollars from
the rebel commander! What punish
ment will be severe enough for these
brutes? Terrible will be the vengeance
which our army will wreak for all these
crimes.

Important Measures Passed hv Cou~ys~

Six measures of great import,ucs
were enacted during the closing dsys Of
the recent Congress, viz:
/. The Currcncy and Baukioe bill.
which provides for the estsblishmco Of
banking corporations in the various
States, based upon the bonds of the Fed.
eral Government. This will iuaucur,,s
III tins country new bank syste N, which,
while providing the public with conve-
n'ent and uniform circulating medium,
viii at the same time support the Gov.
! crnment. >-.s
:, The Finance bill, setting com para.
lively narrow limits to the authority to
issue additional legal tender notes, and
taxing the circulation of private banking
institutions for the purpose of making
way for banks under the new law above
referred to. ...
3. The bill amending the Internal
Revenue law, which modified, and in
many cases increases the tax laid by tho
existing law upon many articles.
4. The Conscription law, by which
the President is authorized 10 draft n
many additional men into the armv 9,
may be necessary for the maintenance of
the Government and the suppre ssion Of
the rebellion ..U
5. The bill for the release of State
prisoners, which provides that the Pros.
ident may, in the recess Of Congress, sus.
pend the writ Of huIcas corpus during
the rebellion. .n.-
8. The bill indemuifying the Presi.
dent aud other officers for making arrests
without warrants.
Both of the bills last nared are meas.
ures which will occupy hereafter mos.
prominent place as precedents of Cons.i.
tutional law
Another very important feature of tho
closing proceedings of Congress was tho
passage Of the concurrent. resolutions,
defining to the powers of Europe tho DO.
sition of the tuited States in reference
to the war against rebellion, and protest.
Ing in Emphatic terms against any At.
tempt at interference, Intervention or ar.
bitration in the pending struggle for tho
national existence.

Items for Soldiers,

Send your soldier little parcel of
cayenne pepper and another Of cloves. -
The Government rations include no aro-
matics, and no condiments but salt; aud
the moderate use of these tends to pre-.
vent scurvy, and to keep the bowels in
order. Add also little paper of larkspur
seeds. Spirit or boiling water iu which
they have been soaked will effectually de-
stroy lice. The whole may 60 in letter
under one postage stamy.
! Let the recruit see that his rule Of
packing be not how much he can get in
his knapsack, but how little. Friends
will press many things upon you which
days march will prove burden. Take
with you such things as you cannot dc
without. Gen. Mansfield went through
the Mexican war with three hickory
shirts and his blanket An ounce be-
! comes pound towards the end of days
march
Look to your feet, cut your nails and
corns, wear seamless wooden socks and
easy shoes. When you halt, lie down.
When you camp, eat and 60 right to
sleep. A little pepper in the mouth will
prevent you falling asleep on your post.
A little pepper in stagnant water will
prevent bowel complaint.
Don't eat, when on the march, all your
rations at onc.. Garry a small vial of
brandy, but don't use it except when ab
solutely necessary. When wounded it
may preserve your life; therefore save it
for an emergency.
When going into action, don't think
you are coward because you tremble.
The proof of courage is that, notwith-
standing you know and feel the danger,
yet you face it.
Don't grumble, but make the best of
everything. Be cheerful under difficul-
ties Above all be spiritually prepared
for death.

The Population and Public Debt of the
United States.

Our public debt on the 1st of Febru-
ary was Sl5. .OOO, 900, which is but about
D per cent Of the real and personal prop.
erty of the country. But suppose it
should reach S2,000,000,00 in the
event of the war continuing two years
longer, it would then be far from a
crushing debt, even with our present
population. This may be seen by refer.

John Van Buren, ON the Rebellion.

That singular politician, John Van
Burcp, at municipal banquet on the
23d, devoted himself to the task of show.
ing that he had always been 10 favor Of
the vigorous prosecution Of the war. 10
this last declaration Of faith he says:
"The people of ten or eleven States
have chosen to violate that Constitu ton
to which you have just done honor. And
this is to be met in the only way 10 which
such violation can be met-that is BY
the armed force oflthe Government, and
every loyal citizen of the United States
is bound to sustain the Government in
putting down the rebellion, saving ss
well as he can during the progress of the
controversy his constitutional rights"
[Applause' . f.. .1.'t = --... J.. -" r
And, referring to the diverse opinions
held IN the Northwest, he adds: ...
''My word for it, the people of Illinois
will unite with the people of New York
and Of all the non slaveholding States 10
carrying on the war with vigor to con.
quer peace. You will get it by con.
quest, and, in my jud gment. you will nev.
er get it in any other way" Applause.
His view as to what viii follow after
peace is conquered, is given as follows:
"No man can look over this country
and see its gigantic resources, its wealth,
it's intellect, its population, and not de-
termine that in six mouths We have the
power, here if united, to drive from the
Southern States every organized army
that existed there. You will fud that
to be the fact. Ifthe war is prosecuted
" tn vigor there will b, 20 organized re.
sistance in six months there to the army
of the United States. But after that
much will remain to be done. We shall
be obliged then to introduce system of
conciliation We will be obliged to con-
ciliate, to compromise, to coucsde, to co
anything that our Southern brethren de-
sire to give them full protection under
the Constitution, and as entire security
in their property and in their institutions
as they enjoyed previous to tho outbreak,
of this unfortunate war; and that will Be,
the time to do it,"

Now if We take the valuation of the
real and personal property of the United
States, as ascertained by the last census,
to wit, SIG, ,159, GIG, ,O6s, we perceive that
even a debt Of $4,000, 100000 will be
but l23 percentum of that valuation
But if we consider, also, that the products
of labor as ascertained by the last census
are almost as many millions more, the
proportions are greatly lessened Es,ab-
fishing then the fact of our ultimate
ability to pay our debt per capita, in the
actual value Of the present real aud per.
sonal property Of the nation, we must
not overlook the immense and constant
annual additions to it by the hand of la,
Dor. whether directly or indirectly ap-
piled to production. The exchanges OF
the commodities annually produced in
the United States, in the shape of d,
rect internal trade, ara estimated to be
full ten thousand millions dollars per
