TE PUBLIC DEBT.-The following
careful and elaborate statement of the
public debt and national finances has
been made by gentleman Of Wash
ington. It Will be read with interest.
being full exhibit Of the expendi-
lures of the Government in carving
on the late great war for the nnainte.
nance of the Union ~ '. -
The public debt before the war was
$50, ,367, ,82e. On the first oss July
last it was 2,757, ,263, ,275. The re-
ceipts of the Government during the
war, exclusive of loans, &C., we're
$738, 740,7 781. It is estimated, how
ever, that before the war balance can
be fairly struck, the national debt
will swell up to $3,OOO,0 ,0OO,O 900, and
that the actual amount expended in
suppressing the rebellion was about
SO, $50, 600, 900, or an average of about
1888, 100000 a year. The expendi-
lures of the first year of the war
were about $475, 900, 600; in the Sc
cond, $679, 600, 600; in the third.
1915, ,O0O, 900; in the fourth, $l,2l5,-
600, 900.
The total expenditure of the NAVY
Department during the four years Of
the war was about $3.50, 600, 600, and
that of the War Department about
81, $50, 600, 600, of which the Quarter
masters Department alone expended
about 81, 400, 600, 900.
The interest on the public debt on
September LIST, was $13e, 900, GOO.
Supposing the principal to be in
creased to IS, 600, 600, 900, the interest
will be say 1854, 100000 1t is esti-
mated that the annual expenses of
the War Department for the future,
supposing the effective strength Of
the army to be about 125, 900 men,
will be full 800, 600, 600; the expenses
of the Navy Department $25, 600, 600,
and for the civil service, including
pensions, &C., $61, 200, ,O0O-making
the aggregate amount of expenditures
required $3A, ,O0O,O 900.

Diplomatic Correspondence.

WASHINGTON, September 29.-The
third volume Of the Diplomatic Cor
respondence which accompanied the
Presidents Message at the second ses-
sion Of the late Congress, has just
been issued from the Government
Printing Bureau. It is a volume of
six hundred pages Much of its in
terest has been lost by the delay of
publication. The correspondence with
France commences rs far back as
November, 1868, and is on the sub
jects of equipments of belligerent,ves-
sells in neutral ports, affairs in Mexico,
cases of the Rappahannock, Georgia
and Florida, the iron-clads at Birken-
head, the military situation, rumored
reports of intervention, &c.
It appears from one of the many
letters written by Mr.. Dayton to Mr.
Seward, and dated December, 1863,
that the British Government informed
Mr.. Drouyn de L'huys, that an Ame-
rlcan vessel had been taken by the
Confederates as prize, and sold to
an Enghshman; that after this she
had been re-taken by one of our own
ships, and that, therefore, mir. Seward
had refused to recognize the British
title, coming as it did through :: Con-
federate source.
The English Government there
upon resolved that it would not re-
cognize the right of the United States
Government to make prizes of Con-
federate vessels, and it submitted the
proposition to the French Govern
ment, with the view to adjust decla-
ration to that effect, The French
Minister replied that he did know
what course his Government would
take in such an event, and he did not
wish to anticipate. Secretary Seward,
in a letter to Mr. Dayton, said he
was very thankful that the French
Government had declined the propo-
sition, that the insurgents had never
made lawful prize, and never law
fully condemned vessel; and he ha-
zarded Little in saying that under no
circumstances was the Government

Kansas is really magnificent State,
and one of vast capabilities. NV
recent trip high up on the hne of the
Union Pacific Railway, has convinced
me OF this. Let me here relate q
fact. In 1850, an Irish toman-a
wldow-whose only means sconsisted
OF S4O0 in money, and SINE half
dozen children, took 160 acres of the
Government land.
Since then, she has increased this.
by assistance of her children, until
herself and children now own 1000
acres, all paid for. This year she
sold her butter, made last ysar, for
$500. She has recently seld the
balance of her last years corh crop,
1,200 bushels, for $3.50 per ,ushel,
which is So, 100. Last week s1e sold
22 head of oxen for S75 eaeh, for
VI, $50. She sold her bacoS, and
hams for some $500. So tht the
produce of the farm, over and above
keeping the family, has beer over
$4,000 She has now on hard 100
head OF cattle of all sizes; for % of
which she refused $50 each. She has
20 frkins butter in the cellar, which
average 120 lbs. each, and whica she
says she will get rs cents per pound
for, by taking it to some of the
United States posts higher up. She
has, also, hogs IN abundance, and G5
acres growing corn, which Will pro-
duce SO bushels to the acre.
Now this seems like exagceration.
but it is literally true.

LEARNING A TRADB.-It was wise
law of the ancient Jews, that the sons
Of even their wealthiest men should
be obliged to serve an apprenticeship
to some useful occupation; so that, in
case of reverse of fortune, they might
have something to ''fall back upon. -
The same law still exists in Turkey,
whero every man, rich or poor, even
the Sultan himself, must learn a
trade. How fortunate would it be
now, had it been a law in this coun-
try. ''Would to God I had trader
is the cry of thousands of returning
soldiers, North and South, who find
themselves ruined in pocket, with no
immediate prospect of gaining a live
ihood. It should teach parents that,
whatever else they may give their
sons, they should give them a good
trade.

IMPORTANT. CAsE-THE RIGHTS OF
NEGROES IN INDIANA. following
we copy from the Lafayette Courier:
An action was recently brought
against Moses Hanger, q well known
farmer Of this county, on the charge
OF giving employment to q negro, in
violation of the law, based upon the
18th article of the Constitution.
which prohibits the emigration of
negroes to the State after the 31st IF
October, 1851.
The penalty is a fine of not less
than $40 nor more than $780, Tie
negro is also subject to prosecution,
but in this case. the action was brought
against the white man alone. The
complaint was filed before civil
magistrate at Clark Hill, but was
tried by a change of venue before
Esquire Winship, at Stockwell. The
case was prosecuted in behalf of the
State by ex-Mayor Ward, of this city.
and defended by brevet lawyer,
named Keinhart.
The facts being true rs alleged in
the complaint, Squire Winship re1-
dered a decision for the State, on tlh
strict letter of the law, and assess-
ed fine of $40 and costs.
The case will go to the Supreme
Court of the United States on ap-
peal, and, from the issues involved,
is destined to figure in the jurispru-
dence of the country, along with the
Dred Scott and other decisions in
which the natural and inalienable
rights of man have been called in
question.

of the United States likely to resog-
nlxe any capture or any condemnation
they might make or procure.
In 9 letter to Mr.. Dayton, the
Secretary Of State said he was autho-
lrized to approve Of his renewed re-
monstrances to the French Govern
ment; concerning the prosecution of
the work on the rams which were
being built in French ports, and the
hospitalities extended to the Florida
aad the Rappahannock; and he added,
for all the losses and damages which
the Government and citizens sustain
ed by the depredations of the vessels
in question, the United States, as
they believe, justly hold the Govern
ment OF the countries which they
have proceeded responsible, whenever
they have been duly forewarned, and
have omitted proper measures to pre-
vent the departure of said hostile ex-
pedition.
Mr.. Dayton, in aletter dated March.
1864, informed Hr Seward that N.
Drouyn de L'huys assured him that
France would not take Texas as q
gift, even if it we're accompanied with
handsome doceur; besides that, she
does not want it, and would not have
it.
The volume also contains dispatches
from our Minister in Russis, the Ne
therlands, China and Japan, and re-
plies thereto from the Secretary of
State, all showing remarkable watch
tulness and activity in the protection
OF our many interests abroad.

dickens AND WnKB COLLINS. A
contemporary: remarking upon ''Our
Mutual Friend and ':Armadale. %
speaks as follows: Dickens is be-
coming fsavagely stern as he grows
old, probably because the world will
not grow better iii spite of all his
efforts to improve it. Wilkie Collins
is not so stern as his friend, perhaps,
for the reason that he is much the
younger man.
The Post Office Department has is

Galveston was visited by the most
terrific storm ever witnessed, on the
18th instant. Several houses were
blown down and others moved from
their foundation. Trees and fences
were also prostrated in every direc-
ton. No lives, fortunately, were
lost. The town of Usage, on the
Sabine River, also felt the effects of
the storm. Houses were blown down
in various parts of the place, and the
fragments of one fell upon its tenants,
mortally wounding one person and
bruising several others. Other ac-
counts Of the storm from different
portions of the State are fearful.

there is hardly any complaint against
