plans for the organization of an army of

have this information from an authentic

there may be in the statement, but the

At the same time we have reason to be-
lieve that no such steps as those alleged by
the Montreal journal had been taken, and
as there cannot have been any cabinet
council since. it is difficult to understand
how any such conclusion as that alleged
could have been arrived at. 1t is proper to
state, however, that before the arrival of
this statement in Il Union Notionale, there
was rumor in the city that the Govern
ment had resolved to place 3 guard of

have long to wait to ascertain what truth

State Finances.

The question of the ways and
means to meet the acquisitions of the
State Government, in the present
impoverished condition of our people,
is of serious consideration, and will
task the wisdom of the Legislature.
One plan proposed must meet with
favor. Whether it be possible, in
the present state of capital or credit,
to raise the necessary fund in bonds
to be issued by the State, as sug-
gested by the Governor, is not alto
gether certain. We have little capital
at home to invest in such securities,
and it is questionable whether, under
present circumstances, they will at
tract any from abroad; but, if it be
possible, there is every reason to
commend it.
The policy Of using the capital or
credit of the State for private objects
is vicious and Objectionable, and the
idleness and vice encouraged and en-
gendered in Rome and Athens by
this policy, were scarcely compensat-
ed by the advantages to citizens for
such expenditure, but between the
use of such an agency to the dissipa-
ton of a people, and their relief from
the pressure of immediate and tenn
porary distress, there is wide dis
tinction, and the act, scarcely too
much to be reprehended in the one
case, may be meritoricus in the
other.
Nor do we assent to the proposition
that the burden of debt is, necessarily,
an evil to the State If there be
States in competition, the one the
most heavily taxed is, necessarily,
at a disadvantage. All else being
equal, there will be the tendency in
men and business to seek the one in
which there is the slightest pressure
in the way Of charges. But without
this-and there are few States in
such equal and competitive condi-
tions-the public debt is net necessa-
rily of disadvantage. 1t expands
the capital Of a country. OF Eng
land, much Of the capital is in go
vernment securities. 1t widcns the
basis of support for population; thou
sands there living on the interest of
the public debt, who might not find
the room to live in any department
of pursuit. 1t furnishes capital most
necessary to the development Of en-
telprise, and form of capital most
suited in It's chaIcter of investment,
and to the w2uts of manufacturing
and commercial community. 1t is
onservative of the organization and
existence of the State, for it charges
men with a direct and positive inte-
rest i'll their preservation. 1t is not
inconsistent with sthe attainment of
individual wealth, for notwithstand-
ing their extraordinary taxation,
larger fortunes are made in England
than in any other country. Il is not
inconsistent with a high average of
individual well-being, for, in no coun-
try in the world, have the same rela-

MTcHE11's PARTING INrEnv1r

MITCHELL PARTING INTERVIEW
WITH JEFF. DAv1s.-Before wholly
dismissing Mitchell, I Will briefly
mention his parting interview, yester-
day, with JEFF. Davis, and in fact the
story is only a brief one. I only
learned of the interview to-day, from
a gentleman who received the facts
from Dir. Mitchell himself. On the
contrary, when I wrote my letter of
yesterday, I was given to understand
most positively that he was not allow
ed, before leaving the fort, to see
either JEFF. Davis or Mr.. Clay.
81 have come TO DID you goodbye"
said Mr.. Mitchell to jeff. Davis, ex-
tending his hand to the latter, who
grasped it warmly, and firmly held it
in his during the brief interview be-
tween them.
'The pleasing news of your resto-
ration to liberty has already been told
me" replied. Mr.. Davis, s'and I con-
gratulate you, now that you are free
citizen of the world again"
81 hope shall soon have the plea
sure of similarly congratulating YOU"
responded Mr.. Mitchell.
II bide my time cheerfully and
hopefully spoke up Mr.. Davis.
''Have you any commands for mc?"
asked Mr.. Mitchell; ''any service that
I can do for you?"
81 only ask to continue you on my
list of friends who are doing all they
can for me-"
'tBe assured Of my unfailing CO.
operation in your behalf"
~ ask nothing more"
"Shall I write your wife anything?"
Mr.. Mitchell further asked
1t might be pleasure to her, al
though you know am allowed pretty
extended freedom now in writing her
Yes, yes, write her.
Good-by."
"Good-by."
The two unclasped hands and part
ed.
Mr.. Mitchell was minute to my in
formant, undertaking to give the
exact conversation, which in turn I
have given as minutely as received
from the lips of the latter.

LINCOLN.

Bear him toward the setting sun
Home to his mecca in the west;
There where the mighty rivers run.
Make him a grave in his country's breast.
Close to the heart of the mourning land
Close to its beating, oh, lay him down
Lay him, oh. nation. with loving hand
Lay him the Ruler without a crown!
Not with the pomp of an idle hour,
Not with the mockery of art
Not with the empty show of power
But with the pageantry of the heart.
Bear him across the prairies wide.
Over the mountains sunny verge,
Over the rivers whose breathing tide
Chants for the dead its grandest dirge.
Lay him beside the violet bed
Lay him beneath his native sod
Under the grass with Clover red,
And bright with tn approving smile of God
Hallow'd the place where you lay him down,
While mum berless ages iapse away,
Marked with the martyrs cross and crown.
And bright with the dawn of Libertys day.
For though marble urn arise
Above the grave that holds his dust,
And though no pillar pierce the skies,
Nor scutcheon high, nor sculptured bust;
Still, long as the stars shall kiss the sea,
Long as the rolling earth shall move,
His name monument shall be
Reared in the living heart of love.

Did anybody ever reflect how living in
such country as Australia, for instance,
must upset all ones established ideas about
the fitness of things? Whatever previous ex-
perience of the points Of compass man
has had is here reversed. The sun no Ion
ger shines from the Southern half of the
heavens. but from the Northern The old
rule in the school biographies, Turn your
face to the sun and you will have the west
at your right and the east to your left, -
must be expunged from your memory. The
Australians go down North to spend the
winter, and come ''up South during the
hot summer months. The first Strawberries
and early potatoes come from down North. -
The nefdle of the compass points toward
the South, and the North Star is no longer
symbol of steadfastness. In short, the

Seeing a Battle,

Such battles as we have had in putting
down the rebellion are rather large affairs
for one pair Of eyes to see. Wehave known
marvellous stories of battles to be listened to
with wondering credence at the variations of
witnesses, but an extensive engagement
cannot be seen by any one person even if
the field all lies open before the eye, which
it rarely does, the smoke of the conflict OBJ
scures the details from view The Duke of
Wellington on being asked, in conversation,
by Mr.. EVERETT about the view presented
to the eye in the battle of Waterloo, replied,
that an idea might be obtained by reading
the different accounts given by English,
French and German witnesses. The COM
mander himself sees but parts of the battle
scene; his knowledge of itscondition and ne
cessities is derived from the reports constant
ly brought to him.

Why Prices Advance,

Concerning the prices of dry goods, the
New York Sun observes: THE explanation
generally advanced by the merchants them
selves, however, is perhaps the most prob
able. They claim that 1t results, first, from
scarcity of staple goods; and second, from
heavy demand for the Southern market.
They state that the mills for domestic manu-
factures have, until very recently, been run
ming to the full extent of their capacity, and
that they have made only enough goods for
current use-fearing to accumulate large
stocks In consequence of the unreiability of
the market Southern merchants, and North
ern peculators, are also buying heavily in
anticipation of the general re-opening of
Southern state trade. 1t may be one, or all
of these causes combined, that now effects
the market, but it is quite certain that goods
are not plenty in the market, and that there
Is far greater disposition among dealers to
buy than to sell. All the cotton mills, how
ever, are now running to their utmost ca
pacity, and whatever the cause of the ad-
vance, it is evident that it cannot continue
long, as the supply will soon be abundant.
