THE INCREASE OF THE PUBLIC DEBT.-An
elaborate series of Investigations into the in.
crease of public debt during the war has just
been compiled by DR.. Elder, Of the Treasury
Department. The results show that the mean
increase of the public debt during thirty nine
months, since July, 1861, is, as near as may be,
a million and half Of dollars per diem during
the first two months OF this period. The mean
increase was one million three hundred
thousand dollars. Subsequent to that 1t
stands a mean Of one million nine
hundred thousand dollars, exceptional days
showed a maximum of three millions
mean for the time has been as above stated, one
million five hundred thousand dollars per day.
This statement entirely disposes Of the howl
constantly made by Copperheads upon the
vast increase OF the public debt. Their docu-
ments, journals and banners ring constant
changes on that subject, stating that the in
crease of the public debt TO have averaged at
least three million dollars per day since the
commencement of the rebellion.

The TINES ON FARRAGUr's VICToRY.-The
London Times, OF September 18th, in summing
up the results OF Admiral Farragut's victory,
says:
We think the reader will admit that this is a
most extraordinary battle, and, perhaps, the
most wonderful part OF IL Is the comparative
impunity with which it appears that wooden
ships can still engage an IRON clad. It Is OBJ
yious to surmise that the result might ha We
been different if the Tennessee had attacked
her antagonist with shells instead Of with rifle
bolts, which merely cut clean holes through
their sides, but 1t Is also clear that examining"
cannot be tried, as il was in Hampton Roads,
If ships can only move as to elude the ram
What destroyed the Congress and the Cumber.
land was that they were mere sailing vessels
and could not evade the shock, whereas Far.
ragut's vessels, by the aid of their screws es.
capped fatal damage, and at last, being fourteen
to one, actually beat their great antagonist at
his own proper game. In fact, the Tennessee
was literally hustled into surrender. Her
crew were knocked off their feet every fl We
minutes, and were no longer fit for fighting,
though their ship was substantially uninjured.
Finally, what are we to think either Of Con-
federate plating or Federal guns, when such
enormous pieces fail TO produce any effect on
armor at ranges measured, not by yards, but
by feet. or even inches These are questions
which will be asked with considerable inter.
est. and the battle in Mobile Bay will, perhaps,
add one more lesson to those which we have
received from the American war.
