In the expenses Of the war, and proba-

atthe present time is put down, in round
numbers, at eleven hundred millions Of

hundred millions Of dollars. If the war is
continued to the first of July, 1865, it will
reach twenty-five hundred millions Of dol
lars, or a little more than one-half the
present debt Of England. 1t is true the
debt Of England psys less interest than
ours, but yet, at three and one-half per
