Fteuch officer, writing about the attack on Leo

somehow TO sow as many acres and reap as large
harvests as ever and we not only feed our armies
and home population, but continue TO feed a good
par Of Europe besides.
But let us look at some other considerations -
/. With The exception of Tennessee and Missouri,
the loyal country has felt none of the destruction
of war. 2 A large part of the increase of wealth
was due TO immigration, and that continues as
great as ever, and goes exclusively 10 the loyal
States. 3. The production of the gold and silver
mines is far greater than 1t was in 1860. 1.
large proportion Of the increase is in the new
States and Territories, which are still increasing
very rapidly. D. All the payments of the war are
made to our own people, and, with the exception
of wastage, the war has drained no wealth from
the country.
I But suppose our national wealth does not in
crease as rapidly as in time of peace, the gain is
undoubtedly sufficiently great to demonstrate the
/ CORE cne of our position.
Ill What Is the proportion OF debt TO the wealth
| Of The country The debt created by three years
and a quarter of war, from April, 1861, to July,
1864 (eXClt sive OF the legal-iender notes, which,
being the currency of the country, will continue
| Out), was thirteen hundred millions. This is not
nearly the ir creased wealth of the country! 1T
we should suppose the war to go on from two 10
six years loI ger, the additional debt will be less
than the ma ura increase of its values. From
these cts the following deduction are newt
, able:-
| ]. That, even with a considerably diminished
| increase of wealth, the country can carry on war
| for an indefinite period, and continually increase
| its wealth.
2. That the resources and progress of the ma
| tiOn are so great and incXhaustble that any pub
! lie debt created by this or any ordinary war can
| be paid, principal and interest, without any
! serious burden on the people.
| 3. That, therefore, the public loans of the
United States arc, and will remain, unimpeach
ably secure, through any period Of war, and
bring good interest They are the best invest
ments which lenders can have in any public
eCuTiles

The problem of wealth, estimated by the cash
standard Of value, is solved The actual wealth
of the country the lst Of July, 1850 was eleven
thousand four hundred and ten millions, inCud-
ing in this only the States and Territories now in
actual possession Of the Government. On the
same day tie wealth Of the entire country was
sixteen thousand one hundred aud htty-nine
millions (SIJl5YuJOOOO). Hence the entire
wealth Of the States now in rebellion, including
portions Of Louisiana, Arkansas Virginia, North
Carolina, &C., now in our control, was but four
thousand geycnLundrod millions and of this sum
not less than one and half thousand millions
was In slaves. The uati0ual wealth, by the rates
Of 1860, was in fact three fold that Of the Rebel
COuCderaCy. II We take from the list half Of
Virginia and Louisiana, fully in our control
the value Of the COnfedcraCy Is but three and
half thousand milliOng; so Uat the wealth Of the
loyal country Is really four times that Of the
Rebels.
H. We find the decennial increase was l27 per
cent, and the annual increase l2.li so that the
four years from 1860 % 1864 give an increase Of
50 per cent On this basis the actual wealth Of
the loyal States and Territories on the lst Of
July, 1864, would be sixteen thousand six hun
died millions Of dollars $4,000 OJOOOO), equal
10 that Of the entire nation In 1860. Bat some
one may say that the condition Of the war has
diminished the increase Of wealth. Some con-
sideration viii make IL evident that il this IS true
al All, ii Is only In very moderate degree. War
prlGes are always high prices, and high prices

Wilmington ana the weldon Road.

Wilmington, the chief commercial city OF North
Carolina, is situated On Cape Fear river It is
distant 226 miles from Petersburg, and 2is
from Richmond. At the present time it is the
chief cntyepot for blOckade-runners in all the
Rebel States. " is conceded that if We close the
port of Wilmington or capture the city, that the
Rebels will not have single foot on the whole
extended sea-board, from Norfolk to New Or
leans, which can be used as q safe port for block
ade-Tunners.
The Importance of WILMINGTON is therefore
promine and manifest 70 the whole world. II
Is a matter Of profound amazement that the Ad-
IninistTatlon has not sent an expedition, long
| before this to close the mouth OF Cape Fear
/ river. A sUal land force could have landed and
erected a battery, or taken possession or Fort
/ Fisher, a Rebel earthwOrk at the mouth of the
| river It is stated that a small force would be
/ Sufficient 70 capture that fertilization. Send Ad-
/ miral Farragut TO Wilmington, is the universal
desire of the North.
/ present time, is supposed 10 be proysioned from
! the Northern SAFES. IL is done in this wise -
! Flour IS exported from New York TO Halifax,
thence il is transferred 60 blOckade-runners, which
! sail for Wilmington. There is said to he twenty
four vessels engaged in this tOur-carrying trade.
Their cspacty is two thousand barrels of flour
