DERTs.-The United States paid every
cent of two National debts, each greater
in proportion to the population and re.
sources Of the people than the present
prospective debt. On the Hrst Of Janu-
airy, l76l, the public debt was @76,463,
lie; this was successfully reduced until
1872. when il amounted 70 @4d.737. The
war .ot 1872 raised it to $i27.3S4.9s3 In
1916; the debt was thoroughly Cancelled
in 1885, and in addition. SIS. 200, 900 Of
surplus divided proportionately among
the States. The United States has the
rare honor Of being the only Government
that has paid her debts with surplus
and this without having oppressed her
people with excessive taxation. s

CARDS the complaint OF the products being ad-
mitted duty free, he knew that tnat had been
the very object OF the treaty, as result most
desirable-the balance Of the trade being In our
favor If money was wanted, instead OF taking
to tariffs, he thought 1t best to tax directly and
hoped the American people would discover
the fact ere long, that the most burdensome
way to supply their treasury was by tariffs
and indirection. He thought we certainly
could compete with Canada in our produce
tons, and on liberal principles of trade.
At this point, about half past one o'clock
Mr., Grimes interrupted Mr.. Howe, and au-
nounced that there was present on the floor
one Of the most distinguished and gallant Off.
GERS of the navy-Vice Admiral Farragut-the
first and only person who had over held that
rank in the service. He moved that the Senate
take a recess of ten minutes, In order to afford
Senator'S the ornorfunity Of intercourse with
that distinguished officer.
The recess was accordingly taken, and the
Senators generally paid their respects to- the
Vice Admiral He was accompanied by Cap
tain Drayton, the commander OF his flag
ship.
On the resumption Of the session, Mr.. Howe
concluded his speech.
MIR. Wilson offered resolution, which was
adopted, instructiIg the Committee on the
Conduct Of the War to inquire into the reasons
of the failure OF the late expedition against
Wilmington, and report thereon.
HoUsR.-The House esumed the considera-
tio,, OF the joint resolution proposing an amend
ment to tho Consultation of the United States
TO abolish slavery throughout the United
States.
Mr.. Smith, of Kentucky, commenced by say
ing he would, in the discussion OF this ques.
ton, throw aside all personal and sectional
feeling and de vote himself solely to the benefit
of his country. He reviewed the ultra doctrine
Of State rights, which had produced dlssension,
rebellion and war. Gentlemen here had not
only enunciated such destructive doctrines,
but, but had gone a step further. MIR. Smith
then argued that it was not only the duty OF
Congress to present the amendment for the ac-
ton of the people, but was the duty OF the
people to adoptit.
Mr.. Cox argued that the power to amend the
Constitution In the manner proposed, but
doubted the wisdom OF it's exercise in q time
Of war. He alluded to the action of the Chica-
go Convention in declaring In favor OF an ar
raistice and the calling Of a natl onal conven-
ton OF all the people. His Information was in
that the North would have yielded and the
South would not have held back.

ARMY OF THE JAMES.

General Buffers Removal-How the Or.
der was II &C eived-The Departure Of the
General for the North-Ma!or Gen. Ord
in Temporary Command of the Depart
ment Of Virginia and Nsrth Carolina.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY oFlrHK JAMES. Jan.
yesterday the troops of this command were
startled by the unexpected announcemo mt that
Gen. Butler had been relieved and ordered to
Lowell, Mass. A host of rumors are flying
about as to the cause of this change. Nearly
ALL however, attribute the removal OF General
Butler to the failure of the Wilmington expedi-
ton.
The order was received at Butler's head
quarters about half-past eleven o'clock a. m.
yesterday.
Adopting the theory that Gen. Butler WAS
removed on account of the Wilmington expe.
diton not meeting with the expected success,
only one question remained to d uZZle curious
military men, They could not imagine why
the General was not removed some days ago.
This question, however, received a final soiu.
ton when General Ord was assigned to the
command. The hero Of Fort Harrison was
away on leave of absence, and the authori-
ties only waited for his return to remove Gen
Butler.
Gen. Ord returned yesterday, and at once
proceeded to the headquarters OF his Command.
t tne 2lth army corps. He had hardly arrived
OF Gen. Butler, and his own assignment to the
command Of the Army of the James.
Immediately on the PRONUNCIATION OF the order
seheving General Butler and replacing him
James assembled around the quarters OF their
late commander, reinforced by numerous other
omcers OF the command. The General was
deeply affected, and expressed his regrets at
parting with an army which, under his com.
mand, had achieved so much. But any ex-
presslons of sorrow were cut short by the
rapidity OF the Generals arrangements. He
had received his orders to report at Lowell at
the earliest moment, and before 3 o'clock d. m.
he announced that he was ready to leave. The
orders directing this change instructed General
Butler to proceed to Lowell, Mass, and report
from thence to the Adjutant General Of the
Army.
Before p. m. the General started for the
North. He was accompanied by General Ord,
General Devins, General Turner, General
Ludlow, Captain Bruce, Captain Clark, Cap
tain DeKay, Lieutenant Merrill, Medical Dr.
rector Suckley, Major Davis, and Captain
Wheaton. All OF the allowed named officers
accompanied the General to Aiken's Landing,
where he went on board his f1aghoat, the
River Queen. General Butler was accompa-
MED by Captains DeKay and Clark, Of his
personal staff, while the remaining officers
turned their horses heads homeward. Cen
eral Ord also accompanied General Butler as
far as City Point, where he stopped to see the
Lieutenant General, and returned late last
night

REBEL WALL OVER THEIR WANT OF

Irreparable Destruction Of the Rebel Salt
Works Admitted.

Irreparable Destruction of the Rebel Salt
Works Admitted.
The Richmond Whg o. January 9TH, admits
that the salt works of the Rebel Government,
near Wythevile, were ruined beyond hope OF
remedy, by Stoneman.
The Wing says:
"Finding that General Breckinridge on leay.
Ing the satworks carried with him all the
forces but few reserves, the enemy at once
moved to attack the latter and gain the long
coveted prize-the salt depot OF the "rebel gov.
eminent" In this they were successful. They
demolishedhe machinery and buildings and dropped
railroad iron in the yell, wich it is said cannot be
drdacn out.'
The Wing alleges that Breckinridge is too
weak to defend his department, saying:
Gas to the defence of this department against
Stonemans raid, the force was inadequate. It
is hoped that the administration may yet ap-
preciate the importance of the defence of this
department, and look to the security Of that
section OF Virginia from whence q large pro-
portion of two OF the most important staples
for the prosecution of the war is drawn-that
is, salt and lead. 1t is impossible for General
Breckenridge to defend such an extensive from
tier with a mere handful Of men.
"But few seem to appreciate the position oc-
cuped by the department commander, and
some would appear to demand Of him impossi-
bilities."
As the same complaint comes up from all
parts Of the Confederacy of paucity Of troops,
it is apparent that jeff is hopeIessly at the end
OF his resources.
The Dispatch Of the 9TH, says that the explo-
sion OF the Dutch Gap Canal, though only
IL miles from Richmond, was not known in
that city until the news was brought from
New York. The Dispatch says that the "flring
will be tremendous whenever the first moni.
tor shall show its nose in the canal" and i'll
Inmates that the position Of the monitors will
not be much improved II they get through the
canal.
The Sentinel, jeff Davis organ.) in answer
to allegations Of other rebel papers that JEFF
Davis plumbers, had thwarted Lees plans,
says s'upon authority that the allegations are
unfounded, and that the plans so roundly
abused were Lees own.
The Sentinel intimates that Lee is to receive
the position OF military dictator and asks
"what good end is aimed at in this attempt to
undermine his fame and destroy him in the
rery moment Of entrustin9 everything to him.

THE REMOVAL OF GEN BUTLrR

It is stated that Gen. Butler was relieved at
the request of Gen. Grant, by the President
after consultation with acting Secretary OF
War, Dana, (Secretary Stanton being absent)
and Major Gen Halleck; the President acting
in difference to the wishes OF the General In
Chief of the armies of the United States in
matters purely military.
