ABRAHAM AND IsAAC-Soon after the fall of
Fort Sumter, citizens held public meeting
to raise funds to encourage enlistments and ex-
press their sentiments generally on the subject
of the war. This being the first meeting after
the civil outbreak. there was of course vast
amount of enthusiasm and excitement; and con-
siderable "spread-eagle" eloquence was indul-
ged in, as well as much that genuine and
patriotic. After the speaking was over, those
who We're present were invited to subscribe :
each person thereupon called out his name and
the sum which he would contribute, which was
taken down by the secretary: and, under the
influence of excitement and competitor, large
subscribers found it convenient to pay. But
many who had reached the dignity of pateq fo-
neiJios could not confine their competition to
money only and the room soon resounded with
such cries as GA. b., one hundred dollars and o.
son?' &C. D.. two hundred dollars and O. SON ~
These announcements were, of course, followed
by vociferous cheering, and, in some cases. two
sons were subscribed" and the pledge redeem
ed. Carried away by his enthusiasm, one of our
worthiest citizens joined with the others in sub
scribing son without previously consulting the
youth who subsequently refused point-blank to
become a bold solder-boy." The father was
of course quizzed considerably after the excite
ment had died away, but a friend consolingly
remarked that Abraham's merit was just as
great though Isaac, refused to ascend the altar

The National Debt will be Paid.

The National Debt will be Paid.
No one doubts this. First-because the coun-
try is abundantly able to pay it; and second
because it is due, mainly, to our people.
One of the ablest statisticians in the country,
presents some valuable facts, in article in the
New York Tribune, to which we ask our read
ers' attention
First from the carefully prepared statistics Of
the United States, it is ascertained that, from
1850 to 1860, the real wealth. of all sorts, of the
country increased over nine thousand millions
of dollars in ten years the wealth of the coun-
try more than doubled.
But changes have taken pacesince 1860. First,
by the rebellion, population has been
duced by the number of inhabitants of the rebel
States; and second, war has caused an immense
loss of labor
The loss of population by secession, however
is more than made up by the increase in the
loyal States.
The population of these States in 1864 latter
reducing by one-half the ratio of increase in
such States as Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, &C.,
where the growth had been very rapid) &c.
025,000, including Tennessee, now in possess
sion. The population of the whole country in
1850 (which was the basis for the annual increase
of wealth to 1861 only %, 191 1885, Hence
the basis is much larger now than it was then.
The loss of labor in the war is more than COM
pensated by immigration, now at the rate Of
100000 per annum; and then, by the improve
ments in agricultural machinery, and the in
creased use of such machinery. We need but
to allude to machines for planting, hoeing, reap
ing, threshing, moving, raking and spreading.
One of these last for spreading hay, doing easily
the work of at least half dozen men. And
every year, under the stimulus of necessity, the
restless Yankee brain is devising and putting in
operation new machines, to save labor.
From these data, it is fair to infer that the in
crease of wealth from 1860 to 1870, is in greater
proportion, than in the preceding decade. 1t is
certainly safe to estimate that increase at one
thousand millions per annum
How does debt increase? The last Treas
ury account puts our annual expenditure at
$S6O,OO 900. Our tax and tariff laws will GER
tainly yield to the Treasury between three and
four hundred millions leaving as the annual
increase of debt, only five hundred millions of
dollars.
Then, we ask our readers, shrewd capitalists
seeking investments, moneyed men now hold
ing government securities, men of moderate
means, frightened by the grumblers into doubt
of greenbacks, what better exhibit they want
than this I?
Annual increase of national debt...."". 50O0O0O00
Profit. 500,0O0OO0
Who would think of failing, repudiating or
compromising, with such balance sheet? And
this is the plain statement of facts-a full an
swer to every man who doubts or decsives the
national honor and credit, and solid basis for
every mans faith in government paper.-Es-

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

WASHINGTON, June Z

WASHINGTON, June Z.
The report of the Committee of Confer.
ence on the disagreeing amendments to the
Consular and diplomatic appropriation bill
was taken up.
Mr. Kasson explained the points which
were compromised in effect, authorizing the
President to appoint l3 Consular Clerks to
be citizens of the g. S., to be compensated
at the rate Of $1,000, per annum, and as
signed such Consular duties as he may di
rect. There shall be no removal excepting
for cause, reasons to be submitted to Con.
gress.
Senate had proposed IS Consular pupil:
but this number is reduced and they are tc
be called clerks. With regard to the sal
ary sf the minister resident to Belgium
the committee have restored the lst section
of the act of 1853 which provides that the
President may, when he sees proper, send
an envoy extraordinary to European courts
but, so long as the minister resident re.
mains there the salaries of the latter shall
not be increased.
The report was debated by various gen
tlemen and then disagreed to, 81 against
"a.
Another conference was asked.
The House resumed the consideration OF
! the Gold Bill.
Mr.. Hooper answered the objections which
he said were rather ingenious and tyranical
than practicable as to the constitutional
power to yass the bill. He pointed TO the
clauses relating to the public welfare, regu
lation OF commerce, and power to regulate
the value of coin.
Mr.. briggs, Of Mich, said the bill would
be more valuable if all after the enacting
clause were stricken out.
Mr. Pendleton moved to lay the bill on
the table. Carried
An unsuccessful motion was made to re-
consider the vote and lay that motion on
the table.
Mr.. Washburne moved to postpone the
question of re consideration until Saturday

handsomely repulsed after desperate strug-
gle. They advanced to the attack several
times and each time their lines We're cut to

The enemy's loss must have been fearful
for our men shot them down at short range
while our batteries moved them down in
masses. Our loss is very light. Ia

The trains are guarded all the way from

The rebels made an assault lust after dark
this evening in front of Smiths brigade, I'd

mosphere was dense mist and under cover
of this fog the enemy advanced in a strong
line of battle and succeeded in reaching a
point within pistol range of our works be-
fore they were discovered by the advanced

forth from ourranks in front and both flanks

Who ARE EXEMPT ?---fn view OF
the enrolment now being made, and the
nrobable draft not far distant, it Is q mat
tar Of interest to know who are liable to be
drafted and who are exempt. According
70 the amended "Enrollment Act" which
passed both Houses of Congress; and be-
came a law on the 18th of February last,
three classes of persons are especially ex'
empt. First, those who are physically or
mentally unfit for service; second, those
who are actually in the military or naval
service of the United States; and third,
those who have served in either the army
or navy for two years during the present
war. snd then honorably discharged
There is another class, of cases contempla-
ted by this act namely, those who bytheir
rules and articles Of faith are conscientious.
ly opposed to bearing arms. These persons
are still liable to draft, but are not obliged
to 90 into active service. They are to DO
considered as non combatants, and shall be
assigned to duty in the hospitals, or to the
care of freedmen, or shah pay the sum o. o.
$500, to be applied to the benefit OF sick
and wounded soldiers. As the law is, none
but those coming under thesaboVe classes
are exempt, but all persons over the age OF
twenty and under forty-fve years shall be
enrolled, and with these exceptions, liable
to be drafted 1t has been supposed that
the "only son of widowed mother" depen.
dent upon him for support, as under the
old law, would now be exempt; but the new
law expressly states, that no one not men,
toned therein shall be exempt. The $500
communication clause is still in force, and any
one drafted can free himself by furnishing q
substitute, or paying the money. An
amendment has recently been introduced
in Congress abolishing the $500 clause
thus oblging the person drafted to furnish
a substitute Or go himself. Whether this
will become part OF the law is question
of some doubt. In any event, it would
probably not effect the present enrolment
Such are in brief the prominent features OF
he enrolment act, under which the draft
will be made, if made at all.
