National Debts and U. 8. Stocks.

The creation of national debts is not a
modern Improvement, but the ability Of a
great nation to provide for great debt,
and to make it the most convenient and
best form of personal property, IS mol
ern wonder The debt of Great Britain
was begun by raising million sterling by
loan in 1892, and when her great cot test
with Louis XIV was terminated, the
dept had reached fifty millions. Many
statesmen and economists were then alarm
ed at the great burden which had been
imposed upon the industry of the country,
but when the war of Austrian succession
had swelled this amount to eighty mill
ions, Macaulay says that historians and
orators pronounced the case to be des
perate. But when war again broke out
and the national debt was rapidly carried
up to one hundred and forty millions, men
of theory and business both pronounced
that the fatal day had certainly arrived.
David Hume said that, although, by tax
ing its energies to the utmost, the coun-
try might possibly live throughit, the ex-
pertinent must never be repeated even
small increase might be fatal Gran
Vile said the nation must sink under it
unless some portion of the load was borne
by the American Colonies. and the at
tempt to impose this load produced the
war ofthis revolution, and, instead of di-
miitshiRg, added another hundred mill.
ions to the burden, Again, says Macau-
lay, was England given over, but again
she was more prosperous than ever be-
fore. But when at the close of her Ma
polecnic wars in 1916, this debt had been
sweled up to the enormous sum Of over
eight hundred millions sterling, or four
thousand three hundred million dollars,
or nearly one half the entire property of
the United Kingdom, the stoutest heart
the firmest believer in national progress
and national development, might well
have been appalled,, But in the very
face of this mountain Of obligation, to
say nothing Of hervastcolonial possessions
the property of the British nation has
more than trbclcd, and her debt is now Il
charge of but 12i per cent, against it.
All that great Britian has done in paying
her debt, we shall do, and more, with
ours. We have vast territories untuuch-
ed by the plow, mines OF all precious
metals of which we have hardly opened
the doors, population full of life, cner-
gy, enterprise and industry, and the accu-
mulated wealth of money and labor Of the
old counties pouring into the lap OF our
giant aud ever-to-be united republic. Du-
ring fercest and most exhausting of all
possible wars, we have dem nstra cd Cur
national strength-and all the world over
national strength is but another name for
national credit Gas good as United States
Stocks" will soon be synonymous the
world over til ''as good as British Con
sois." For our part, we think U. 5
Treasury note, bearing seven and three
tenthsannual interest, is just as much
better than British Consols as the rate OF
interest is higher. Some of our Aimid
brethren, who shipped their gold to Lon
don and in consols, are now glad to sell
out and invest at home at a round loss,-
and serves them right.

Jeff, Davis Arrived,
Imprisoned at Fortress Monroe.

FoRTkEss MoNRoE, May 10.
Jefferson Davis, 'late of Richmond -
of the extinct so called Southern Confed
eracy, with his family, personal staff of
iicers, &c, lately captured by portion
OF Gen. Wilson'S command in Goor
gia, arrived here to-day at noon from
Hilton Zeal, sub Carolina, in the
steamer Clyde, conveyed by the United
States gunboat Tuscarora, Commodore
Frailey Col. Pritchard, Of the Michi-
gan Cavalry, who made the capture of
thee important prisoners, with u strong
guard Of his men, came in charge Of the
prisoners on the Clyde to this place. On
arriving here he Immediately telegraphed
to Washington for instructions regard
Ing the disposal of his charge
At this writing such is the strict Sc
crecy observed, not only as to the pres
ence Of the prisoners, but also to their
future movements, that it is impossible
to form even an opinion regarding the in
tentions OF our Government. The steam.
or CT de still remains some three
miles out from the shore, seemingly an
chored, and Col, Pritchard is prcbably
the only one who has as yet come ashore.
The gunboat Tuscarora anchored in the
Roads about two o'clock the following
afternoon, but nothing can be cleaned
from her officers in relation to the party
on the Clyde.
Rumors have been continually circu
luting here this afternoon to the effect
that the steamer Clyde ran in along the
beach about four o'clock p. m, and land
ed Davis aud others on the beach, about
one mile from the fort, and from there
were marched into the sally port OF the
water battery in order to escape the gaze,

LATER.

4p. M.--The Tteamer Clyde has just
run in and dropped her anchor in the
Roads, and there seems to be no doubt
but Jefferson Davis must have been land
ed somewhere along the beach. No COM
munication whatever is allowed with the
that the larger portion of the prisoners
still remain on board. The officer in
charge is evidently awaiting instructions
from Washington.
About week since Colonel Brewer
ton, of the Engineer Corps, received or
ders by telegraph from Major Gen. Bar
nerd to Immediately have vacated.a row
of casemates inside the fort for the ac-
commodation of prisoners of State. The
work Of transferring these cas- mates into
cells, for which they are well adapted,
was at once commenced without the least
delay. The work has progressed very
fast, and the casemates which once com
municated one with the other are now
separated by substantial walls of brick, so
that the inmates are not destined to have
much convivial intercourse.
Strong iron bars and other substantial
arrangements enclose the windows and
doors completely; rendering hopeless any
attempt to escape or rescue, if such a
thing should be thought Of. The wide
moat Of the fortress encircles these case
ments, and on the banks and ramparts
strong guards of vigilant sentinels will
tread their rounds
Every device which precaution would
suggest will assuredly be adopted to en-
sure still further the secure safety of these
most important prisoners.
Iu thus selecting Fortress Monroe to be
the place of confinement of JEFF. Davis
and other chief traitors, the government
has, no. doubt, acted wisely. 1t is tho't
that the trial will also take place here.

zens thereof; and all persons who shall
hereafter desert from the military or ma

duly enrolled, shall depart from the

duly ordered, shall be. liable to the penal
ties of this section, and the President is
hereby authorized, and required forth
with ON the passage of this act, to issue

visions of this section, in which procia-
nation the President is requested to noti-

ment, and in addition thereto, period
equal to the time lost by desertion.

city of Washington this 1lth day of
March, in the year of our Lord 1860, and

SAD.-D. E. Bivens, the poor wretch
who deliberately murdered his wife,
father and mother, in Michigan, few
weeks ago, instead of occupying his
mind with matters suitable to his case,
seems to be studying and planning how
he can make the most money out of the
morbid curiosity created by his unparal-
leled crimesl To this end, he adver-
tises that he is engaged in getting out an
autobiography, to include full account
of his life, all the circumstances of his
murders, &C., &c. 1t is reported that he
has applied to Barnum to buy the cloth
ing in which he murdered his parents and
wifel An Adrian paper publishes a
card signed by him, warning the public
against purchasing certain photographs
of him, because he is about getting out
some genuine ones, taken with the
clothes he had on at the time of the mur-
der" He also says he will soon have
pictures of both his wives, and advertises
for agents.

to deserters, in which he says: I avail

this public manner, to advise all persons
liable to the charge of desertion to ac-
cept at once the Presidents offer of par
don, to report themselves Immediately to
the nearest Provost Marshal, to return to
duty and obedience, to relieve their repu-
tation, to protect themselves against pun
ishment hereafter and save from certain
forfeiture their precious rights as Ameri-
can citizens. I appeal to the neighbors S
and friends of all such deserters, espe-
cially to the mothers and wives, who have
heretofore invoked SO often my advice
and interposition, earnestly ceunseling
them, both as magistrate and man, to
enforce and persuade the absent to return
and seek the shelter, pardon, homer and
happiness which now await them under
the Union flag.
