Tie telegraph announces that petition
has beel presented in Congress, praying
for the repeal of the dnty on imported

10 all thinking people, that this is now the

ty per cent. is charged on imported paper
and this ratio is so high as 10 drive paper

OF paper, Government included, has to pay
a. high rate az though it was imported,
and duty of twenty per cent. in gold paid
thereon. The Government, Therefore, not

that the present duty on printing paper has
become not very brilliant pieco Of hnau-

the duty only be repealed, and the price of

AoconpINa to the best estimate we can max!

ACCORDING to the best estimate we can make,
the cost of a hundred and fifty thousand black
soldiers at the end of the first six months SER
vice, amounts to at least seventy or seventy-fve
millions of dollars, and, if any one can tell what
good our blacks in blue breeches have done to
compensate for such fearful expenditure, we
should be glad to hear the story. The fact is,
they have done no manner of good, but, on the
contrary, world of harm. Their employment
has dissatisfied and disgusted hundreds of thou
sands of good men in the loyal States, and ex-
asperated almost to frenzy and desperation the
universal public sentiment of the South. 1t has
tended to relax the nerves of multitudes of true
patriots, and tightened and strengthened the
snews of the rebels. We are paying enormous
sums of money for terrible injury to ourselves
1t is as deplorable and miserable a business as
ever was heard of in any country in peace or in
war. 1t is ''the very error of the moon" The
employment of negroes in our armies is moi
only the greatest of blunders, but a crime thai
eternal tortures cannot expiate.-LouisviIIeJ Jour.
