Worth Considering.

Mr. Lincoln has first and last, called in.
to the service since the commencement OF
the war two millions three hundred and
scventy-three thousand seven hundred and
eighty men; and there has been appropria.
ted by acts Of Congress, for their pay
equipments, sustcnance, and other wal
purposes, the sum Of two billions seven
hundred and sevcrty-four billions nine
hundred and twelve thousand eight hun
dred aud eighteen dollars, the greater por.
ton of which, must be paid by taxation
a tax which, collected to-day. would con.
sumo more than onc-half of the wealth OF
each individual in the country. This is
the legitimate result of republicanism.-

Michigan City izarbor.

A large and enthusiastic meeting was
held at Michigan City, one evening last
week, for the purpose OF raising inca MS and
making arrangements to secure an I'M
proveEent of the harbor at that place -
Speeches we're made by Judge Osborn and
others, warmly secondlng the movement,
and expressing the belief that the enter
prise would eventually prove successful.
Committees were appointed at the City
and along the line Of the New
Albany 4 Salem K. X. to solicit subscrlp-
tons to the proposed work At the meet
ing referred TO $4,000 were subscribed
although the wealthies. men Of the place
were not present. They will subscribe
literally. Its the intention to raise sub
scription of 500, 900, and there is good
reason 10 believe that the bond holders of
the ~ a. & s T. II. will subscribe like
amount, which will be sufficient to com
plete the harbor, as at present contempla-
ted
The enterprise is a magnificent one, and
should receive the support of every Indi-
anian. a good harbor at the City will
benefit the State at large more than any
other improvement which it is possible to
make The nearest lake ports where our
produce can fnd an outlet are Chicago and
Toledo, There is Nc reason why we sho' d
not have an outlet within our own State,
thus increasing our wealth instead Of that
of our neie hbors.-LaPorte Democrot
We see from the above that our neigh
bors at Michigan City are in earnest about
the matter Of harbor there. 1t seems to
US, however, that the proposed sum Of l00,-
0C0 dollars is not enough to construct a
good harbor; the main difficulty heretofore
has been the inadequacy of the sums ap-
propriated for the work, and we should
much prefer to see a good round sum of at
least $500, 0oo subscribed, because then
we should have no doubt of the final sue
cess Of the work At all events we hope
to see the harbor progressing to completion,
it is badly needed.

TWELVE APOSTLES OR THtRTEEN?--
A peculiar process is pending be-
fore the Court of Appeal at Cologne.
The decision entirely depends on the
answer to The question whether there
are 19 or IS Apostles. A farmer in tho
vicinity of Mulheim, on the Rbine, has
the right by the terms of an ancient
lease to let tho waters of neighbor-
ing stream overflow his meadows on all
Apostles Days. This arrangement ia

however, he's especially irritated them
is, the farmer makes use of his privilege
