THE ENGGIsH NATIONAL DEBT. In the House
OF Commons Mr.. j. Stuart Mill recently made a
short speech, which appears to have created
some stir in England. He urged the necessity
OF doing something for the national debt, and
contended that the condition of Great Britain
would not Justify the present generation in
leaving the whole burden for pOsterty. Re-
mindiDg his hearers that the population of
Great Britain depend for subsistence on her
ability to supply the wants of other countries
from her material resources, he took IN tine
question as to her supply OF coal, and declared
that the exhaustion OF the deposits was aues
ton not OF centuries, but OF generations.
"It the present rate of consumption of coal con.
tnues three generations at the most, very posi-.
bly, considerably shorter period, will leave no
workable coal nearer TO the surface than 1000 feet in
depth; and that the expense of raising nom that
depth will entirely put IL out of the power of the
country to compete in manufactures with the richer
coal fields of other countries"
Mr. Mill argued that several millions a year
'ould now be set aside well enough for the
TSluction of the debt, and tnat it, instead of this
tDelag done, taxes should be remitted merely
that the money might be used in some other
way, would be criminal derelictOn Of duty.

Congress and the Joint Committee An
Opportunity Tor Comp omse.

from He 1nleS.
The members of the Joint Committee on Re.
construction have less discernment than they
are credited with, If they are not already con-
yinced that their resolutions providing for a
Constitutional amendment, and the bills giving
effect to other parts Of their scheme, are a signal
failure. So far as we can Judge from the tone of
the Union press, they have produced an all but
universal feeling OF disappointment and ,iissatis-
iactOn And the same feeling is reported to be
gaming ground in CONGRESS. That Mr. Thad
deus Stevens is not satisfied with PROPOSE
tons which from his point OF view wear the
appearance OF compromise, Is proved by the
conhscatiOn scheme which he has talked of on
his own account. The conservatives on the
other hand, are ayerse to what violates their
sense of Justice and generosity, and postpones
indefinitely the result which has been under
stood to form the object and the Justification of
the committees prolonged inquiry. With the
ultra radicals and the Constitutional conserVa.
tyes alike dissatisfied and disguised, though on
grounds dameulcally opposed the scheme hnds
little favor outside OF the small circle that gave
it birth.
With whatever sins the extreme radicals are
chargeable, at least they preserve a semblance
pretensions OF the conqueror, and by virtue OF
conquest claim the right TO do as they please
with the property of those concerned in tue Re
bellion- amounting, in the present case, to
about nine tenths OF the entire population of the
South. This pretension the Committees plan
totally disallows. Again, they hold that what
were the Southern States are now merely Terri.
tories, with none OF the rights or attributes of
sovereignty; and the Committee formally recog.
nizes them as States, and invites them as such
10 say yea or nay to the proposed Constitutional
amendment

THE AWFUL CALAMITY.

The calamity that occurred here last
night, is one Of the most awful on re-
cord. In the stillest hour of the night,
when all nature is supposed to be slum-
bering, some lurking demon, fearless
of God and man, and bent on ruin and
woe, fires building filled with innocent
people. The flames ascend, and rage
and roar, and cut off all means of escape.
Either burned or smothered, thirteen
human beings are sent to eter-
nifty. 1t is horrible. unspeakably horri-
BILE The scene beggared all descrip-
ton. In the upper stories, from which
there was no means Of escape, the scarce
awakened victims had only the alterna-
tive of hoping from the windows--and
that was death. Heaven rest their souls,
and give their surviving relatives and
friends strength to sustain the sorrow
which issues from this unparalleled ca
lamity.

ments which France made for the pay

this arrangement was adopted without
the knowledge of MAMMALIAN; that when
appraised of it he manifested great indig'
nation, and resolved at once to abdlcate
and quit the country, leaving the French
to treat for.the withdrawal of the troops
either with Juarez, or the protection OF
the United States. On arriving Mt vera

ADVICE TO THE SOUTH.

Some very excellent people in the
South are disposed to despair of its fd-
ture, and meekly submit 10 whatever
may be imposed upon it. To some re-
marks of Southern paper conceived in
this abject spirit, the St Louis RepHbh-
can thus replies: "0ur counsel to the
South would be not to submit, without
constant and vigorous protest against
political oppression and injustice.
Plough, plant, SOW, reap and gather in
your crops Buy and sell merchandise
and get gain. But never miss the right
opportunity 10 protest against the Radi-
cal tyranny which is expressing you,
which is depriyiHg you of your rights
and hindering your prosperity. The
people of the South can do both The
one need not interfere with the other.
Never submit, without, we will not say a
murmur, but without loud and united
outcry, all over your land, against the
hideous wrong and injustice under which
you are now suffering. That cry will
one day-not far distant-be heard. The
spirit of this age is foe to all such OPP
pressions. There will be revival of the
spirit Of the fathers among the people Of
the North They will not always-they
will not long-be recreant to the
principles ON which our Govern
ment is founded. They viii deprecate
the possibility that any portion Of the
American people should sink into a con-
dition Of mind fit only for the slave Of
an oriental despotism, and they will in
sist upon it that the tyranny, which with
some might apologize for such a miser-
able and melancholy lapse from all the
virtues Of Republic, shall cease on
American soil Let the people Of the
South still continue TO demand their
rights as American citizens and at
every fit moment demonstrate against
the oppression which would rob them of
those rights Such manly resistance to
wrong doing can do them no harm will
not increase the pressure upon them,
perhaps will diminish it. But if it does
not. what then? Let the self-respect
and manhood proper to the citizen Of a
free Republic answer this question"

Pronosed Radical Scheme.

The La Crosse wis Democrat has
New York and New England authority
for the subjoined statement:
The rebellion has caused the existence
Of several hundred millions Of so-called
Confederate bonds. The rebellion was a
failure. The South cannot regain adj
mittance to the Union till she has repu-
dated her Confederate debt This Of
course makes her bonds valueless. Soon
as they become worthless, they are TO be
bought up by the spectators Of the
North for the merest trifie When these
bonds are in the hands Of bondholders
and spectators, their validity ia to be
tested, decided in the affirmative, the
taxes to pay them, principal and inter
est, is to be levied on the States said TO
be out Of the Union, and the money so
collected is to 20 into the hands Of the
hondholders, stock jobbers aud specula-
tors Of the North, who will by this game,
realize from one TO Eve thousand per
cent on their investment
They will be decided valid on the
grounds:
IF the States we're not out Of the
Union, they had a right 10 issue bonds.
"lf they we're out Of the Union. the
debts Of n conquered country must
always be paid, and the property OF such
country is always liable for all her in
debtedness, either as a nation or from
her efforts 20 become One"
And the public mind Of the North il TO
