The National Debt.
Next to the rebellion, the great national ca
lamity which the people of the United States
have got to face, is the enormous national
debt. It Is alieady large, and is increasing at
the rate of two million dollars or more per day.
It will continue to accumulate how long no
body pretends to know.
Knowing, however, tbat a settlement most
be made some day, let ad see bow we stand on
the booki. We take- Repablloio authority.
"The present fiscal year," rays the New York
Tribune, "will loave us with a debt of nearly or
quite eiz hundred millions of dollars, for the
payment of the Interest on which forty million
dollars will be required."
Bat in its estimate of our li.dcbtcdcees, the
Tribune, like meet other calculator, leaves
wholly out ot view our Slute debts. At the
close of the laet year the debts of the States
amounted to two hundred and six'.y five millions
of dollar', without taking intj Account the debts
of cities and counties. These aheoluto State
debts must have Increased greatly within the
past year. Suppouing their segregate does not
exceed three hundred millions, we (ball have at
the cloce of tho current fiscal year, a public
debt, national and State, of nine hundred mil
lions of dollars.
The Tribune says that "the coming year will
see the amount of oar national indebtedness
($600,000,000) doubled," making It twelve
hundred millions of dollars, with an interest on
the same of at least seventy millions of dollais
Tne State dobts will also, at tho eanio time,
continue to increate, if not in the same ratio,
still at an cnormocs rate. So that we are on
tho high road to national and State bankruptcy,
whether we bave tbe mtslineei to ccknon ledge
it or not. -
Sepposlog the war to be closed at the end of
tbe next year, what then? The Tribute says,
"we thall be obliged to maUiUin a large army
and navy at an additional expense over past
. tears of one hundred million dollarj" m&kine
the annual expense of the Federal Government
two hundred million oi dollars, exclusive of
the seventy millions, of interest on the twelve
bnndred millions of national debt. Thus, tbe
people will have to foot an annual expenditure
of two hundred and aereoty aailliM of doll.
on the part of the Federal Government, and
that, too, without diminishing the National
Debt one cent. .
How ia this annual expenditure to be mot?
If the duties on imports should yield si large a
revenue as they did before the war began, there
will remain the sum of two hundred millions to
be raised by modes of taxation heretofore on
known aud nnpracticed In this country. At the
same time, the expeneee of the State Govern.
mentsand tbe interest on their debts, to say
nothing of paying the principal, must be pro
vided for by heaping taxes on the people.
The truth mav as well bo told at once and
right oat as to smooth it over with honeyed
. word, in order to pacify a deceived and betray
ed people. Under the present management cf
our national affairs, tbe annual expenses of the
Government will not be met. There will re
main each year an exoeu of unpaid expendi.
tare, which will be added to that great reservoir,
tbe original National D.bt funded in stocks,
bonds, etc, and bearing Interest. Perhaps,
' many holders of Government securities who can
afford It, as In England, will be content to fore
go the payment of interest annually, and let the
Government Indebtedness accumulate In their
hands by means of compound intorrt",. This
will help maintain tne credit ot tne uovero
inent and bankrupt the nation. But there ate

THE Real Work of the Stone Fleet
The Ship Channels to Charleston.
The sixteen ships of the itone fleet
have gone to their final moorings on Charles
ton bar, and around which tbe heavy masses of
sand are now settling, will effectually close all
passage Into or out of tbe original "cession
city by tbat line. TheJ will effectually block
ade the port so tar as the main ship channel is
concerned, and will relieve our regular blocka
ding fleet from duty In that direotion.
Hut. mm tknmrA soma time ago, there are
other channels that lead into Charleston barbor
beside the one we have closed; and it is mostly
by then, too, that the ships which bave lately
nn thm hinpiraim miafl meir cnirv iuu ,
Of tbeee, the principal one is MtjU'$ Chan
nel, which is of quite recent discovery, .but
rhlnh lareallv In manv rescectB the best en
trance to Charleston. It skirts alone close
by the shore of Sullivan's Island, after fol-
lowing tne line ot wmon tor some aiawuce,
frikxa aharnl nnt into the ODen Sea. It is
more free from shoals, is of bolder out, end of
more direct passage than any of tbe Other
ehanoels. The approaoh to the coast is eaay
enough, and tbe shoaling gradual. The ehip
ohanuel we bave Juat blocked up Is miles
from Charleston, while that of Mafflt is only
seven. Tbe Coast Survey charts show that in
1855 the depth of water In this channel ranged
from eleven feet at low water to over sixteen
at high water, and could thus furnish passage
to vessels of very heavy draught. 10 increase
still further Its dentb and faoilitv. the State au
thorittcs bave for years employed a .dredge
steamer, of great power, worked by suotlon, in
removing the sand and mud from Its bed. It
Oin now probably give safe passage to any ves
sel afloat. In this channel no balk of tbe stone
fleet has been sunk. Fortunately for ns, bow
ever, if it be a sood channel, it is also one
which is very easily watched; and one of our
blockaders, placed off Breach Inlet, near Sul
livan's Inland, can prevent any rebel ship from
creeping into or out of Charleston by Mafflt's
Channel.
There are also several other channels lead
ing Into Charleston harbor, in which no part of
tbe great stone fleet has been snnk. There is
the North Channel, the depth of water in wbicb
ranges from ten feet at low tide to fifteen feet
at high tide. This Is still open to reoci snips,
if they could get paet our blockading bull. dog
which watches it. Besides this, there are tbe
Swash and Overall Channels for vessels of
lighter draft; but the brace of blockaders de
tailed to watch the two channels already men
tioned will also effectually suard these.
Besides thcee modes of ccress direct to the
ocean from Charleston, there Is abundant proof
that light draft craft have slipped down MaClt
Channel, dodged into lireach Iniot ana Denina
Long Island and tbe other Islands along that
part a tbe coast, as far as Hull's island ana
Bull's Bay, ar,d there bave met big ships from
Europe, which they have loaded aud unloaded
at their leizure, and thus carried contraband into
and out of Charleston. So far as tbe northeast-
ly direotion is concerned, all this will be stopped
by the watch now kept over MafQt'a Channel.
Lisa t draft craft bave undoubtedly also been
plyiug until very- lately, if not now, along the
Inland water-way leading from Charleston in a
southwesterly direction, notwithstanding our
force at Port Royal Island.
The stone fleet will thus not absolutely seal
up Charleston, nor will It destroy all possibility
of future commercial intercourse with tbe out
side world. It will only render the blockade
practically impervious. -a. X. aimes.
Rebel Evacuation of Galveston.
A short time since the telegraph announced
the evacuation of Galveston, Texas, by tbe
rebels; but, so unreliable are rumors in general.
that no ono Deiievca this, l ne rumor, howev
er, turns out to be correct, as will be seen from
tbe following extract from tbe Houston Telegrajh
of the 2d inst:
On the 20th alt., a council of war was held at
Galveston, at which it was determined tbat it
was impoBsiblo to defend tbe city successfully.
The largest guns at tbe fortifications upon tbe
Island were J-pounders, smooth bores, having
a range not exceeding two miles, while the
enemy's guns were of tbe largest caliber, shoot
ing with accuracy three or four miles. To
await an attack was simply to invite the surren
der or destruction of our troops and the city,
without toe power oi mulcting injury upon tbe
assailant j. It was thought best, therefore, under
all the circumstances, to evacuate Galveston, and
occupy a position in tbe rear of the city, so as to
repel any advance or tbe teoeral troops alter
tbey had landed.
la conseauence of Ibis determination, an or
der waa imned for tho rmrl vi sit the hos
pital pauente from Galveston to Houston, wbicb
was accomplished immediately. All tbe pub
lis and private property was being rapidly re
moved to Houston, when Judge Hill left Gal
veston. Tbe proprietor of the Netei bad rented a
house in Houston, and announced that his next
issue would be printed in that city, and all the
otber newspaper establishments, it is soppos
ed, have done tbe same. Tbe guns have been
removed from the different fortifications, and
the troops bave fallen back to the terminus of
tbe railroad bridge on tbe island, and a still
larger force stationed at Virginia Point, on the
mainland.
It seems that General Hebert has been no
tified of a contemplated attack, bat is not
advised as to tbe point that may be first as
sailed.
Tea, Sugar and Coffee Duties.
The war expenses are being felt by the con
Burners of tea, sugar, and coffee. Congress
has Just passed, and tbe President has approved,
a bill providing f r an increase of the duties on
tea, sugar, molasses and coffee. On all teas
tbe doty is to be twenty cents per pounds on
coffee, of all kinds, five cents per pound; and
on molasses six oents per gallon.
In regard to tea and coffee, people can con
sult health and their pockets by substituting
cold water; and the heavy duties on sugar and
molasses will give fresu Impulse to Sorghum
culture and manufacture in the West, making
os the sooner independent of the South and of
loreign importations In tho way of sweets.
Why winee, brandies, Imported liquors of all
kinds, and cigars, snuff, etc., are not pat on the
list ot increased duties, appears a little singu
lar, tbe more so as the demand for revenue is so
pressing Cleveland Herald,
If the people substitute cold water, and use
no tea or coffee, bow will the government get
the taxes levied?
Seward's Affection for England.
Secretary Siwakd was invited to attend the
New England dinner at New York, on the S2d
of December, the anniversary of the landing of
tbe Pilgrims upon PJymout hRock. In declin
ing tbe invitation, he said:
My duties here allow me little enjoyment of
holidays. If it were an Old England dinner
Itstead of a New England feast, 1 would cer
tainly strain a point to attend. I would like
so good an opportunity to attempt to show to
our cousins across the seas that there is no ma
terial benefit or moral influence that oan ac
crue to us that will not also ineresse tbe pros
perity and greatness of Great Britain, and that
every disaster tbat befalls the United States is
also pregnant with suffering and sorrow, sooner
or later, to be borne by Great Britain.

Reported Defeat of Federal Troops
The following appears in rebel papers
GARDNER'S CONNER, VIA POCOTALIGO, S. C.
December 18, 1861.
About half-past one o'clock yesterday after
noon one of the enemy's gunboats passed by
Port Royal Ferry. Our batteries opened fire
upon her, striking her three times. Upon meet
ing with this rather bot reception, ebe steamed
rapidly past, and ran aground about three miles
the other side of tbe ferry. As soon as our
troops became aware of the fix Into which tbe
Yankees had got themselves, Lieat. McElben
nv, ot Captain Moore s neid battery (irom wii.
miogton, N-C.,) was dispatobed with a section
of the battery to a point just opposite to tbe
eboal on which tbe gunboat was aground, in
the meantime, three flats, orowded with the
trnone. bad moved from the opposite
shore, under a sharp nre from u f tbeir
batteries directed against onr troops on tbe
main. At that point oar forces consisted of
Captain West's company, ot Jones's regiment
Lieat. MoElhenny's Battery arrived just as
tbe flats bad oome about midway la tbe stream.
He immediately opened tire upon them with tre
mendons effect. One of the flats waa soon sank,
and onr fire created terrible havoc among tbe
soldiers on the other two flats, which hastily put
back. Night came on, and ended tbe cannonade
The steamer moved off with the flood tide. The
enemy's loss among the men on the flats most
have been very beavy.

of nations in not tiklng the Trent as a prize,
and save:
"Under any circumstances we could not ap
prove of war on this issae. Unless it Is lolly
or bypoorisy to talk of Christianity es defining
tbe duty of nations, the nation commits a sin
whioh goes to war to avenge a petty Insult. It
would be preposterous to maintain that the ex
istence, the prosperity, or any real interest of
England is at stake In the present Instanoe. It
is beyond doubt that by reference to arbitration
tbe affair could be honorably settled, aud we
oannot oonoelve any Christian man affirming
that, except in case of necessity, it is lawful for
a nation to shed torrents of blood; For suc
cess in a war arising oat of this quarrel, no
Christian minister could pray, no Christian sol
dier could fight. Every Gardiner, every Have
lock, would lay down bis sword. Mr. Bright
has set a good example to our pabllo men, and

to step forward and declare that war In such a

DSome readers tkip over tbe local notloes In
paper, because tbey are mere newspaper puffs,
as tbey say, and not worth reading. But in so
doing, they often miss the very knowledge they
are most desirous to obtain, and Instead of go
ing to the best plaoes for a supply oi tbeir
wants, they go to the very worst. One of the
very best tests of a fair and honorable dealer is
to look into a newspaper and find bis frequent
advertisements and the local notices accompa
njingtbem, Bach a man rarely fails to do
business on a large and liberal scale, and to
meet publio expectation in tbe prioe and quality
of his wares. On the other hand, he who Is
niggardly In tbe patronage he extends to news
papers, is apt to be niggardly in dealing with
his customer.).
The reader will find in another column two
advertisements of 8. S. Eames's new Dry
Goods Store, 119 South High street, by which
will be seen the variety of goods he offers to
the publio. There tbe ladies will find dress
goods, bal moral and hoop skirts, and cloaks aa
well as furs of every description, quality and
pattern. But read tbe advertisements. Of one
thing we are quite sure, that those who, by this
notice, may be Induced to close a bargain with
Mr. Etmes, will thank us for the advice and'
Information heroin imparted.
