board, refugees coming north but not one
was saved. Geo. w. William, of the FIFTY
sixth, gsllantly risked his life in an effort to
rescue one woman. He succeeded IN get
ting her on the same plank as he himself
.elung 70, but when finally aid came she was
mast all succor, the immersion IN the Wster
and the cold having done their fatal Work.
There were sixty-seven male refugees, Dut
three of whom were saved. There were
twenty.six enlisted men Of the Tenth MIS-
souri, en- route to their homesi none OF these
were saved. From the exhaustion they
had undergone and the sufferings they
were enduring in their hslf-submerged
boats. every moment threatened with des-
truction, all hope Of being rescued was
diving out of the few survivors OF this ter
rible calamity, when at last the steamer
General Sedgwick came in sight-slmcst
unseen until the moment she threw out the
means of escape. The boat Mr.. Brockett
vss in was the last hailed. He managed
to catch the line thrown to him, and
in an instant the friendly coil was
round his body, but ere he was drawn
up, the boat cspsized, and while IN the
water he was grssped by two OF MS com.
psni rs in misfortune; with the clutch OF
drowning men they clung to him, and
when drawn upon deck he was uncon-
scious, the terrible stress of the others
causing the rope to tighten so as to almost
deprive him of all respiration. The terri
ble scene on board, the narrowing cries OF
men, women and children for help, where
no help could come; the almost hopeless
struggle for life through which they passed,
have left such an effect on the hearts and
memories of the survivors that many OF
tie details and circumstances Of the mo-
ment are in the whirl of emotions created
yet unremembered but enough has been
told to class the loss aud fate of the General
Lyon and its Inflated passengers among
the most disastrous cslsmities that have
oornrred at sea for years.
The survivors received all tho oaIo 0nd
attention from the capIsin snd officers o.
the General Sedgwick that their unhappy
condition demanded.

tuggests an inquiry as to the AnsnciAl po-
sition and prospects Of the government
and its ability to pay the National Debt,
without resorting TO excessive taxation.
I'VE regard it as easily demonstrable that
She entire interest of the National Debt
can be met by the tax on liquor and tobsc-
co alone, with large surplus for a sinking
fund, leaving the other sources of revenue
free to dischar. e the ordinary current lia-
bilities of the government.
During the year ending in 1860, the
value Of the liquors consumed in this coun-
try was as follows:
sphituous Ii iuOrs Imported ,269, ,o75
TxpoTted.........-........ ], ,46l, 4ss
z1Sii. zGs sShasgtGfsd al H5g at Hons 81 Sa1
s29, $40, ,687
As the cost of whisky, our principal Ii
quor, was then under twenty-five cents per
gsAon, the aggregate amount Of liquor con-
zumed during the year must have been full
1y one hundred millions of gallons, which,
at the present rate of duty, would afford 8
revenue of tlvO hundred millions of dollars.
But, supPosing thst the increase of price
and the Illicit manufacture of spirits should
decrease the yearly amount taxable to one
half that oonsunasd in 1880, the income
from distilled liquors, after the present
stock is consumed, would still be one nun
dred millions of dollars per annum.
The revenue from tobacco will be equal
Iy large. In the year 1859-6O AIS, $50, III
pounds were produced in this country, be-
sides cigars, &C., to the value Of SCOTS, ,909
imported. Our exports of tobacco in the
same year amounted to $15.9o6547-sn
excess Of exports to the value of s., $685.
or of about one hundred million pounds.
This would leave three hundred millions oi
pounds and over consumed at home. Sup
posing fifty millions of pounds to escape
the payment of duty, and the residue to pay
an average tax of forty conts a pound, the
revenue from tobacco viii amount TO sn,
other hundred million dollars per annum
lHu5 Lus khA VI bObaOSO euA MuAohJ
alone will psy the interest on nations
debt of 50, 500, 100000 and leave surplus
of one hundred millions to be applied 81
an ansual sinking fund. In this way w
could pay off our national debt in twenty
five years from the income from these TIVE
sources alone. But, as the interest will b
decreased with every payment of the priD
cipsl, leaving every year larger amour
to be applied SIS a sinking fund, We ms,
expect to see our entire deb! eancelle,
within the next fifteen years. without lay
ing any burden of taxstioD upon the il
dustry or capital Of the country.
Among the wisest maxims Of the frs
Napoleon was that the vices of natiol
should be taxed to pay its expenses. LIE
our Government follow this principle, and
relieving the commerce and agriculture g
the country from burdensome taxation
look to whisky and tobacco for the pay
ment OF our War debt.
