THE RAFTsMAnss JoURnAl,

ital which the debt represents, we must re
member that, leaving out the very large a
mount which may be considered to be only
prematurely invested in ships, fortifcations,
and military and naval materials, consid-
cradle proportion of the money remains in
the hands of our people in the shape fpro-
fits, and affects merely the distribution and
not the existence of the nation wealth. We
will not venture to say how much, from
these two considerations alone would have
to be deducted from the debt to get at the
amount of capital which has been really
sunk in the war.
When the contest began, 1t was estimated
that the surplus income OF the people OF the
free States was four hundred millions of
dollars year, and there can be no doubt
that this has been greatly increased since
1861 The surplus income, after all the eX
penses of individuals have been paid, is
what enables a people to sustain a war. The
relation of the interest on the debt to this
surplus, income taking it At the estimate
of four hundred millions, is about one to six
-forty-seven millions of the interest being
payable in gold, and about twenty millions
in currency.
From these figures it will be seen how far
from the fact Is the assertion that the ma
ton debt amounts TO half the valuation Of
the property Of the country.

systematized The principal provisions OF
the law are as follows All post offices the
Postmaster General may deem suitable

mount within the limits previously named,
and these viii be made payable by the dep

Of the Postmaster General. IF it be lost

is to be payable to the person designated on

Our National Debt,

Mr. Wendell Phillips, in one of his recent
elegant rhetorical sOrhistries, made the as
sertion that the whole debt of the country
national State, county, and town obliga-
tions-would, if the war closed tomorrow,
amount to half the property of the nation :"
As this is one of the most mischieyous as
sertions a speaker can make, and one that
viii do much injury if allowed to pass unno-
ticed the charge should be examined The
Boston Ii1RscT{pt makes this admirable
reply:

PENNSYLVANIA Reserve Corps.

We learn By the Harrisburg Telegraph
that the Penn Reserve COrps,is on Its way
home-haying reached Washington on Sat
urday last. On Monday, May S0th, the no
ble Reserves paid their final respects TO the
Rebels The first brigade was ordered to
take up position on the Mechanicsville
road, near Bethel Church They drove the
enemy and took up the place designated, but
remained there only a short time as the en-
emy advanced in force, when the first brig
ade fell back to the second brigade, and into
some rebels-pits. The Rebels at once made
charge upon the position taken up by the
Reserves, but were repulsed with great
slaughter. One ofthe officers stated it was
the severest ropulse he had ever witnessed,
and the men affirm they never saw such car
mage. Thus 1t viii be seen that the fare
well, of this brave body Of men, TO the Reb-
els, was their crewning glory and one of
the delegates of the Christian Commission
says that their conduct on this occasion was
a theme of praise with the rank, file and
command throughout the entire corps. This,
the Reserves last fight occurred after the
time of enlistment ofthe majority had ex-
pired yet, many of them wanted to stay
until Richmond had fallen, but were over
ruled by majority of their comrads, who
desired that they should return as they
went, as division.
Preparations have been made for grand
reception of the Reserves at Harrisburg. No
body of men are more deserving of hearty
welcome, than these noble and self-sacriic-
ing men, For three years have they stood
as wall of fire between the Old Key
stone and the Rebels, and the gratitude of
loyal and patriotic and generous people
should be freely and magnanimously exten-
,led to them-and thus showing that they
are gratefully remembered and their services
fully appreciated.
p s. The Reserves arrived at Harrisburg
on Monday morning at o clock. The en-
thusiasm on the occasion was almost I'M
bounded. Everything passed off TO the en-
tire satisfaction of all the participants.

WASHINGTON. June 2.-70 Hqior Geae-
raj Die l.. \ dispatch from General Grant
dated this morning June 3D. at Bethsai-
da church, : O. clock a m, has Just been
received. 1t states that yesterday morning
an attack was ordered to be made on our
left at Cold Harbor by the 9th corps. and
the troops under Smith, Warren, Burnside
and Hancock being held in readiness to ad-
vance in their respective fronts The at
tack was made with spirit about ) p. m,
continuing until after dark and resulting in
our carrying the enemy works on the right
of the Sixth corps, where We still hold them,
and also the first line in front of Smith.
The latter, however, were commanded by
another line in the rear, which made those
carried untenable The enemy made re
peated assaults on each OF the corps not en-
gagged in the main assault, but were repulS-
ed with heavy loss In every instance. Sev-
eral hundred prisoners were taken, but
cannot say what number, nor estimate eth
er our or the enemy's casualties. During
the night the enemy made assaults to regain
what they had lost but failed.
No dispatches from any other quarter
have reached the Department to-day.
