But if it were not so, still the bonds
should be converted into greenbacks, it is
fitting they should be redeemed in the
same currency. This policy would save the
interest, pay the debt and bring upon the
duplicate for taxation that immense amount
of capital which is now exempt. And these
advantages would amply compensate for
the evils which are predicted. The debt
amounts to one-ffth of the property, real
and personal, Of the whole country. One
fifth of the capital Of the country is exempt
from taxation. Interest eats up the sub
stance Of the people. Exemption from tax
alton aggravates the evil. This state Of
things cannot last. Itoppresses labor-it
excites deep discomfort 1t ought to be re-
lieved by fair and voluntary adjustment
1t will be relieved at all events The bond
holder should be prompt and wise. The
people already believe this cuYse is the
blight of death and We know by expert
ence, what they will do to 'Fsave the
life of the nation"

sible to bring off these horses-l100 In num-
ber--and Romano was not man who could
order them to be destroyed he was fond of
horses himself, and knew that every man was
attached to his beast, which had carried him
so far and SO faithfully. Their brides were
therefore taken off and they were turned loose
upon The beach, A scene ensued as was new
er before witnessed. They became sensible
that they were no longer under restraint of
any human power. general conflict ensued,
in which, retaining the discipline they had
Learned, they charged each other in squadrons
Of ten or twelve together. then closely engaged,
striking with their fore feet, and biting and
tearing each other with the most ferocious
rage, and tramping over those who were beat
en- down. till the whole shore, in the course of
an hour, was strewn with the dead and disa-
bled. Part of them had been set free on rising
ground at distance. They no sooner heard
the roar of the battle, than they came thunder
ing down over the intermediate hedges. and
catching the contagious madness, plunged into
the fight with equal fury. Sublime as the scene
was, it was too horrible to be long cOntempla

destroy them. But it was 100 dangerous to
attempt this, and after the last boat had quit
ted the beach, the few horses that remained
were still engaged in the dreadful work of mu-
tual Instruction.
