Orr Finances,

! AS everything relating to the wealth,
resources and financial ability of our
country, are matters of special interest at
the present time, We subjoin a few facts
and figures, taken from pamphlet issued
by Messrs. Jay Cooke &Co, aud prepared
by DR.. Wm. Elder, of the Treasury De.
partment.
! Our national debt, at the close of the
war, is estimated at three thousand mill
ions of dollars. Our debt, at the close Of
the last war with Great Britain, was one
hundred and twenty seven millions of
dollars, which was sI467 per head upon
the entire population, and per cent. up
on the estimated value Of the country
This debt was paid in nineteen years and
was not felt By any one. The average
interest of our debt, including FIVE hun
dred and fifteen and q half millions of
"greenbaeks" and fractional currency, is
4,35 less than It per cent. The wealth
in 1850 (excluding slayes) was ten thous.
and seven hundred millions, and the
products Of the year two thousand eight
hundred and seventy millions, or 268
per cent. of the capital Taking these
amounts and rates as basis, we now have
a result of sixteen thousand one hundred
and twelve millions, and an annal product
of four thousand three hundred and eight
cen millions, in which sum the hundred
and twenty six millions of interest would
be- 81 per cent. Assuming this basis as
correct, we shall have wealth in 1870,
of twenty four thousand two hundred
and eighteen millions, and an auual pro-
ducing capacity of six thousand four
hundred and ninety millions. In 1880
forty eight thousand two hundred and
thirty nine millions, and q producing ca.
pacity Of twelve thousand fifty nine mill
ions, which gives the interest required at
l.35 per cent, or less than one and a
half per cent. Of the producing capacity
of the county.
Our revenue from our internal taxes
last year vas two hundred and sixty
millions, and is estimated at three hun
dred and twenty five millions this year.
It is computed that the entire debt can
be paid in twenty years from 1870 The
enormous debt Of Great Britain, Of over
four thousand millions of dollars, is only
Il per cent. Of her entire wealth, and
she mas carried this heavy burden and
has continued TO increase in wealth. And
as she has been able to Go this, and none
will question this fact, how much more
able are We to bear this debt, and at no
distant day iquidate it. We have the
finest country in the world, abounding in
mineral resources Of the richest quality,
and climate and s0il which will produce
almost anything that can be grown any
where in the world. We also have room
for vast population; some hare set the
number down at three hundred millions.
We see no grounds even for dependency,
for we think we can successfully eliui-
nate this financial problem and pay this
debt. Industry, courage, and
faith, are the great trinity under which
we have laborei, aud by this sign we arc
able to conquer now.

GONE OF Mr.. LINCoLN's HIRELINGs.'
On Monday, while Lancaster soldier
who had just returned from four years
campaign in the Army of the Potomac
was giving the result of his observations
Of the Peninsular campaign of 1862, in
which he was an actor, he incidently re-
marked that General Grant could do more
work il al hour than Gen. Mcclellan
could do IN months. There happened TO
be q trio Of Copperheads present, one of
whom putting in practice the teachings
Of his organ, remarked, what's one of
LincoI9s hirelings p Although the au-
thor Of the insult vas half as big again as
the soldier, the latter, in less time than
it takes. Us to write it, administered a
severe punishment.to to the offender and
commenced On his companions who
sought safety n hasty exit ont of the
back door. In the afternoon q third
parry undertook to revenge the punish
meat Of his friend but was disposed of
about as quickly as the original offender,
and was glad also to beat hasty retreat.
It is in such breaches Of the peace as
this that we see the fruits of the teach
ings of those tory organs which denounc-
ed the Union soldiers as "Lincoln's hire
lings" and stigmatized the President
whom the soldiers so devotedly loved, as g
"tyrant" "usurper," a "CaHguIa" and a
"Ner0." When their organs indulge in
this style Of Infamous aspersions with
their more Ignorant dupes very
naturally take up and use the offensive
language thus put in their mouths, know
ing that no soldier Of any spirit will sub
nit to such insults. Such breaches of
the peace, however ought to be prevented,
and every graduate of the tory school
who attempts to befoul a soldier with such
epIthets, should be at once arrested and
punished by law for melting breach OF
the peace. It would be almost impossible
to fnd a jury that would not convict such
