THE PUBLIC DEBT.

The public debt of the United States on the I'd
day of February last was officially stated to be
$l,473, 225,714 On the 14th of May last it had
reached the sum of sl,73O,s 1926. 1t will thus
be seen that the increase of the ascertained ma
tional Indebtedness during the interval Of lO2
days was $685., 645,2l2, being at the rate of
$2,525,933 per day, or, in round numbers, at the
rate of sl,oOO,OOO,oOO per year. The rate of
increase of our public debt has naturally varied at
different periods during the war. The following
table, under this head, is given in the current

Should the same rate of increase which has ruled
during the last 1O2 days continue to obtain until
the LIST Of July, the public debt Of the United
States at the expiration of the current fiscal year.
will be $3.50, esl, 100.
To meet the expenses of the Government from the
beginning of last February to the middle Of May,
paper money has been issued to the amount Ct
$3.50, 141,909 Bonds Of the United States have bee
sold to the amount 1856 70O and there has bet
IN increase of arrears to the amount of S24 $40
The sggregate increase of debt therefore, since that
period has been $270, $685. The total amount
of legatender Treasury notes in circulation the
LIST of July last, the beginning of the current fiscal
year, was $407, S39 045. On the 14th Of May
last, TO which date our official information ex-
tends the same circulation was 1856, 944 1877,
thu, showing an increase Of nearly 100000, 900,
or of nearly S 900 600 per day. The National
Banks have, in the same period, added SIS 800 200
to the currency, sum much less than we had
supposed, insomuch that the outstanding currency
of the country, irrespective Of the State Banks,
amounts, under the heads Of Treasury notes and
of National Bank issues, to about 00,000,000.
The new measures taken by the Secretary of the
Treasury for raising money by loans will tend to
lessen this volume, and thus, it is hoped, conduce
to the amelioriation Of the financial situation.

It will be observed that while the direct receipts
from Southern ports have fallen off largely during
the last year those from the Bahamas and Bermu
dss have enormously increased, thus showing the
route which the trade in American cotton has fol,
lowed. These figures are suggestive under two
important heads. They Indicate that the greater
strngency of the blockade reached during the year
1868 than it was possible to effect during the pre-
ceding year, has compelled, on the part of block
.de-runners, resort to different GLASS of vessels
from those which formerly evaded our blocksding
squadrons stationed off the principal ports Of the
South. 1t is shown that these ports are now al
most Theoretically sealed by the vigilance Of our
cruisers. Under such circumstances the blockade
runners are reduced to the necessity of employing
small vessels, able to make their way out Of the
minor inleis of the South to the Bahamas or the
Bsrmudas which thus become the sntrep6ts Of the
contraband traffic. These islands are mere points
of traushipment, to which large steamers repair
from the British ports in order to load with the
cotton there deposited by the small blockade run
pers. The Daily Advertiser adds that "informa
ton from England shows that one-half Of each
cargo is for the occou, of the rebel Government
and ore-balf for the owners, the latter not being
allowed, however, to ship any supplies not abso-
tutty NEEDED IN carrying on The war"
This latter statement suggests the second i'm
portsnt consideration derivable from these tables
They disclose pne source Of the financial means by
the aid Of which the Confederate military author
tics have been able to keep their troops supplied
with arms and munitions of war. To this effect

Ian did not order such an attack, but ifyo II was
unfortunate that Gen. Barnard should have lent
the weight of his professional judgment to deter
mine the course actually pursued. 1t is much to
be lamented, doubtless, that commanding Generals,
equally with their chief engineers, cannot always
act in critical moments with the aid Of the light
furnished by results after the critical moments have
passed. but this is an iDfelicity attaching to the
limitations of our mortal existence, and we cannot
very clearly perceive that men are always to be
blamed for the ignorance they betray before events
(wben the conditions of knowledge are obscure,) or
praised for the wisdom they profess after events,
when it comes too late to be of any value.
