Mir. Fessenden's Report.

The Secretary Of the Treasury gives q
brief history of the financial legislation of
Congress and the policy and acts Of the Irea-
sury Department, since the beginning OF the
war.
The national debt amounted, on the lst Of
July, 1864, to Sl,740, $780, ,4S9 40.
The interest on the national debt for the
current year amounts to $9l ,S0l,2l5 Is.
From taxation and other sources, the rev
enue Of the current year is estimated at
$40 9,5l2, $50.
OF this amount, customs yield S70,Z-1,-
O91; internal revenue, S249 SOP $50:
miscellaneous sonrces, - S24, ,O2O, III.
The interest payable in coin ''now exceeds
ffty-six millions per annum.
The daily expenditure Is calculated at two
and a quarter millions.
Tne daily receipts amount at present to
nearly million and half, and if Congress
laws certain additional taxes, they can be
brought up to two millions per day.
There must be obtained during the year,
1920, ,727 sos. Fifty millions Of this the
Secretary thinks can be raised by additional
taxes, TO be laid by the present Congress.
Deduct this and al o SSS ,252 800 of the
public debt to be redeemed during the year,
and it results that the national debt will be
increased during the year ending June 80,
1854, by'S4S2, ,374 ,lSS.
The Secretary thinks the high duties have
caused falling of Of the revenue from GUS
toms he expects, howeyey to make this up
bv gains from internal taxation. He desires
t. have such a system of taxation as shall
bring the internal revenue up to three hun
dred millions per annum. He recommends
a tax on tobacco in leaf, tax on sales, and
that the income tax be COLLECTED without
exemptions"
He advises the issue of interest-bearing
notes.-the interest payable in currency-to
be convertible at maturity into gold bearing
fve-twenty bonds; suggests discriminating
legislation against the state banks; notices
organized attempts at smuggling across our
northern frontier; aud to detect and pre-
vent smuggling desires the organization Of a
regular .preventive" force.

NurART SrArIsTIcs.-Among the contri-
buttons TO the last International Statistic Con-
gres> at Berlin was a paperon our armiesbyMr
b. Elliot, which presents much curious
information It appears from a fifteen
months examination, there was loss Of y
men rer annum ont of 1000; 20 being killed
OPP diving of wounds received in action and 25
diving from disease and other causes. Thus
ID will be perceived that twice and a half as
many soldiers die from sickness as from cas-
ualtics IN battle The ordinary rate of NOR
ahty in time of peace among civilians Of a
military age is about nine or ten per thous-
and in a year, and among L. S soldiers in
time Of peace. twenty-six in a thousand.
The mortality in war. therefore, is not so
much larger as most persons would imagine.
Toe proportion of officers killed in battle is
much larger than of men being in one period
OF observation eleven per thousand officers to
eight per thousand men and in another period
i0rty-elght officers to thirty-two men in the
thousand On the other hand, the proper
ton Of privates dying from diseases Is great.
er than that of officers, being % officers to
46 men per thousand in period of nine
months.

Gen. Geo. w. Morgan.

As has already been announced, General
MORGAN, of Ohio, will address the McClel-
Ian Club at Washington Hall tonight.
His fame as a statesman and soldier is
everywhere well known. He was the min
lister of the United States Government to
Portugal under BUCHANANs administra-
ton, and returned home and entered the
army at the beginning of the war. He was
early commissioned Brigadier General of
volunteers, aud won honorable distinction
by his skill as a commander. Convinced,
however, that all the fruits of victory won
by the blood of msny brave men were cast
away and neutralized by the political polls
cy of the administration, he resigned his
position in the army, and is now laborine
earnestly to place in the presidential chair
q man who will direct al, his efforts to The
restoration of the Union, and the mante
nauce Of the Constitution. .....
We bespeax for General MORGAN house
full of earnest and attentive listeners, ans
confidently promise the audience clear
