THE DEBT.

According to the recent report Of Secre-
tary McCulloch, the national debt of the
United States at the present time is in the
neighborhood of two thousand seven hun
dred and fifty millions of dollars. This
sum is regarded by many as the net loss
sustained by the Government during the
late war, and this view is clearly errone-
ous, for the reason that the credit account
has not been taken into consideration in
estimating the actual cost. To Nrrive at
a correct estimate, 1t is necessary that the
value of all assets resulting from the war
should be deducted from the sum Of the
general outlay. In the first place, we
have a navy which was constructed by a
part of the sum comprising the present
national debt, and no small sum at that.
Probably not less than two hundred mil
lion dollars was expended in building this
navy, and the greater part Of that sum
has not been lost. In the next place, we
have q vast amount of ordnance and mill
tary munitions Of every sort, whose pres
ent value should be deducted from the ag-
gregate debt. All that shall hereafter &C
crue to the Government by virtue of con-
fscation, and all the value of all property
belonging to the rebel government must
be subtracted from the sum generally &C.
cepted as the net loss. What the value OF
all these items is, it is difficult to estimate
even approximately, but the sum must be
very large, probably not less than two or
three hundred millions. And it is per-
fectly proper that we should take the
value of the navy and of military NUM-
| tons into consideration in determining
the net loss occasioned by the war.
1t is true that we might get along now
with less expensive appointments Of this
character, but such q navy as we have
and such a military establishment were
actually needed in order to be ready for
any foreign complication that might arise,
and the investment is, therefore, a very
good one. If there had been 40 rebellion.
the first breath of a foreign war would
have necessitated the construction Of a
navy and the equipment of an army, and
the designs of foreign governments, as de-
veloped during the rebellion, show that
this putting on Of the wal armor occurred
none too soon. In view of these facts, we
cannot see how the net cost to the Gov
eminent for the wal account can be figured
above W thousand five hundred'millions.
1t is true that there is something like fifty
millions yet due to soldiers and contract
ors, but the Government must have nearly
enough transports, horses and other sale
able adjunc,s of the service, to make up
that amount. Aside from this, Secretary
McCulloch says that the revenue receipts
are sufficient to pay the current expenses
Of the Government, and therefore there is
nothing further to augment the debt.

"eREAsY MECHANICS" AND THE
HCHIVALRY."

The ex.rebel, General Hill, of Tennes
see, was arrested in Washington a few
days ago for exhibiting too much southern
spirit-that brand Of spirit that is indi.
genuous to Bourbon county, Kentucky.
He became buisterous under this peculiar
southern influence. and finally brought
up in a staton-house. He was fined, but
having no money was sent to the work
house for thirty days, where, in the society
of a gang of thieves snd williams of every
hue, he could mediate upon the folly OF
rebellion and the danger Of Bourbon
whiskey. It was a fearful inroad upon
the dignity of a member of the chival-
~" but as the law in Washington makes
no special distinction in favor Of dignity,
when i~mpresnated with whiskey, there
was no alternative but to accept the stu
alton. General Hill went to work in
company with other prisoners, and was
given the duties of garden hoeing and
house cleaning, which are rather more
needful than pleasant to a man who has
been accustomed to leaving such occupa-
tons to his "niggers." General Hill did
no. like the service as well as command
ing rebel soldiers. and accordingly wrote
imploring letters to a number Of his
friends, begging them to pay the fine and
release him. They did moi, however, and
we learn that two Northern mechanics
assumed the obligation and set the valiant
General at liberty. GREASY Mechanic"
are evidently beginning to find favor in
the eyes of the "chivalry."

Confederates In Europe.

New York, September 1.-THE Times
Paris correspondent, August 10th, says
For the last week the court of the Grand
Hotel looked much as it did in the -four
ishing days of the Confederacy. before the
fall Of Vicksburg. Breckenridge, Helm
and Jacob Thompson have arrived here.
Those united with Slidell and a host Of
other representatives of the Confederacy
hold council there, debating their affairs
apparently with high hopes Of the future.
The hope Of q war between France and
the United States appears to be highly to
their satisfaction. Have heard it said
that articles in London and Paris jour-
mails. trying to urge on a wal about
Mexico is only part Of a general scheme
among the rebels and their friends to give
the Confederacy another chance for life.
Thus the last ditch is to be in Mexico, and
the diggers thereof live in London and
Paris. With Lieutenant Gearvy on the
Rio Grande, and so powerful q combins-
ton of talent here, you may be sure that
if there be any chance for stirring up a
war about Mexico i. will be done. Let
the Government and people Of the United
States look well to this matter, for it is
not without Importance.
