Our excellent Geverner Merton and HU Staff-How Bteet.kaa keen the State of Indiana! We approach this subject with profound reverence; wc feel that perhaps we are treading on forbidden ground. Few know the gigantic duties, and the herculean aid by which he was assisted in their performance that devolved upon our noble Governor when he was putting down the rebellion; still fewer know how self sacriticingly those duties were discharged; how they were fulfilled without fee nr reward or the hope thereof. Colonel TEunF.u., in a volume of his sixty thousand dollar report, (that is, we mean the Printer’s, not the Colonel’s fee,) gives us the names of those men who were the lesser lights revolving round the great luminary, (we do not mean flitting around like gnats round a candle,) receiving their light and heat and vitality from him. We quote those names. It will be seen that the government of Indiana has become a great thing. We don’t have now any of your little, cheap, plain, republican State Governments that wc used to have when our people were too picayune to pay high taxes just for the take of having a dignified administration! It will manifestly appear that wc are keeping up with the age! But to begin: On page 9 we find the following: STATE OF INDIANA—EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. Oliver P.

Officers only appear in the list. It will be observed that several of these illustrious war worn veterans have the titles of several ofiicesj the.se, of course, indicate that they held all those offices, we suppose, not In order to double up pay, of course, but because they wanted to work as hard as they could. They were not conferred as mere titles, l>ecause the Constitution forbids conferring titles of nobility, and that, we all know, the Governor respected. * „ In Disaster Ahead! Our people express great confidence in continued easy times and almost unchecked prosperity. \Y>- Itope this contidenee is well founded. It seems to be rested much on the assumed fact that the people are not in debt. This, we think, is a correct assumption as between the people and the banks, merchants, etc.; but it is pot true, as a general proposition, that the people are free from debt. On the ' other hand, we believe there never was a time when they were. In reality, more heavily oppressed with debt. 1. We are certain that the people mortgaged their farms to a great amount to purchase substitutes at the sale the officers, or somebody made of the veteran soldiers, pending the drafts. We think those who got the thousands upon thousands of dollars at these sales know that the people arc individually in debt. ‘2. Colonel Terrell estimates, we understand, the municipal indebtedness of the State at tlsenty millions or upward. This indebtedness has to be liquidated iu about three years, making, say, seven millions a year for the next three years. Here, then, we have a terrific amount that must he paid by the people annually, with cash, and may be collected by the swiftest.of executions. These amounts, it will be recollected too, are extra the ordinary expenses, and the oppressive Federal Government levies. Wc hope the people, by the favor of a kind Providence, in giving us healthy and fruitful seasons, may be able to easily lift from their backs these burdens; but, it Is safe to say, that should the cholera and the cattle plague visit us with malignity the ensuing year, the people of this country must sink under their calamities. Let us be looking to, and preparing for, as best we may, thssc possible events. In this connection, wo call attention to the following article from the Chicago Republican: jr How the Collapse is Hastening.—There is a very natural fear in the minds of all thinking men, that the country is hastening toward n commercial crash, compared with which those of 18117 and 1857 were but trifling in the extent of the disaster. The Secretary of the Treasury in his report warned the country of the danger ahead; as one means of rendering the calamity less disastrous, if not indeed of averting it, he Urged a return to specie payments by the speediest possible means, and t>y a simultaneous reduction of the paper cur-
rency.
But no measure such ns the Secretary proposes can ever be pr; .wable unless there be a corresponding retrenchment on the part of the of nation and the people. The Government could not maintain its credita day after the war eiesed 4f its expenditures wore not reduced to the standard of an economical peace establishment. The Government owes, as a war debt, in round numbers three thousand millions of dollars; Mow much the State and municipal governments owe on the same account wc do not know’, but it is a large sum. This whole debt is due by the people, and It is proposed that the greater portion of it shall he paid by the present and the rising generation. Upon that presumption rests the credit of the nation. The payment of this enormous sum will tax the energies and test the endurance of the people for the next thirty years. To pay it, or even to reduce, will require the practice of the most rigid economy, not only on the
f the nation, but of Individuals.
rate, Including the whole country, of nearly four hundred millions u year, all of whlcli haa to bo paid for in gold. Can we continue this lavish expenditure and at the same time pay our national debt!’ It is idle to expect that such an extraordinary expenditure will not bo followed by the natural result, and that is commercial disaster, financial collapse and
general prostration.
The merchant may, after he has spent all his money, keep up appearances for a long time, indeed, as long as he can borrow from one bank to pay another; but the end is certain—he must fall. Tho people of the United States have not expended all their means; they have an abundance to meet their present debt and to pay it, if they are nrudent in their expenditure and economical fn their habits. If. however, they continue the prodigality wltleh was an incident of the inflation produced by the war; if they will pursue the ex-
travagances which have DC'
the last five their home
forei"
spec
five been adopted during
years; if, instead of paying off
r home debt, they contract an additional ign debt, then the day of reckoning will dtly arrive, and will bring with It its ter-
sn
rible crash.
We repeat that the exigencies of the times demand that there shall be at once adopted and religiously observed a system of economical expenditure, public and private. This may not avert altogether the financial collapse that threatens us, hut it may do much to lessen its force, and reduce its volume of disaster.
Every man should now put his house in order for tlie coming day of settlement. Let those in debt economize now while they can; let them as soon as practicable pay what they owe, and go in debt no more. I^t the credit system, as a system, be discontinued ns fur as —' -* whose affairs arc the

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. : LETTER FROM PHILADELPHIA. Philadelphia, January 2,1800. Dear Herald: A happy New Year to you and your numerous readers, with the hope that you had pleasanter weather in your city than we had here. It rained almost incessantly the entire day, and as there had been a heavy tall of snow on Saturday, you can well Imagine the condition of the. streets. As New Year is not much of a holiday here It did-not interfere greatly with the bone and sinew (who are the ones who in reality enjoy holidays,) ns most of them were at work. Tho morning dailies came out as usual to-day, and the afternoon papers were issued yesterday. NEWSPAPERS OF PHILADELPHIA. As a matter of interest to some of your readers, I annex the circulation (an approximate estimate) of the lending papers of this city, with the names of their principal conductors:

Democratic State Convention^ The Indianapolis Journal, with great assumed disinterestedness, of course, favors postponing tho Democratic State Convention till the last of May or the first of June, sagaciously discerning, as we Imagine, In such postponement the probable defeat of those men who desire to rescue the Administration, in Indiana, from the clutches of the harpies who, at the music of “ Glory Hallelujah,” are preying upon the vitals of the treasury of the State. IVcre wc of the party of the Journal and its State Printer, we should pursue the same course iu the premises that it does, hoping thereby to prolong our hold on the treasury. But looking, as we do, alone to the success of honest men and an economical, plain, old fashioned Administration, when the Governor, j got along with less of a staff about him, general, special and particular, than royalty employs, we arc for au early Convention, a Convention not later at the furtherest than the fifteenth of March- We shall give our (reasons therefor

Governor Anderson—Mexico. Tho Cleveland Leader handles Governor Anderson without gloves, in a criticism on his late Message to the Ohio Legislature. We extract that portion of it in which lie assails the views of the Governor on Mexico and the Monroe Doctrine: „ Much space is devoted to an argument against the Monroe Doctrine. The best apology that can be offered for the introduction of this homily upon matters not pertinent to the affairs of the State, is the excessive vanity of its author, who seems to be laboring under the hallucination that all the parties to the Mexican imbroglio, from the autocrat of the Tuilleries to “ Miramon and Juajez, with their motley, anarchic principles and doings”—to use his own language—are straining their tympanums to catch the first echo of his uttered wis-
dom on this topic.
Ho raises up a man of straw in the form of a Mexican annexation scheme, and then proceeds to assail it with his most potent logic. He pronounces the Republics of .South America and Mexico failures, and says it would be a “ vain thing for us to attempt to hold them up in this, their free right of mutual slaughter and general ruin.” The Governor does not seem to have the fullest confidence in the applicability of a republican form of government to tlt’e masses of mankind, for he says, and prints it in Italics, shki “ it is the nature of our institutions and habits, that its classes

people, as is also the arreirt of General Stone, and his subsequent confinement, o» the ground that he was the cause of the aWful disaster. It appears tiiat at the time the battle was fought, General Baker had the commission of a Major General in his pocket, which was known to General-Stone; he thus out-ranked that unfbrtunate General, and had entire control of the battle. If Baker had been victorious, it would have been heralded that he received the commission for his gallantry, but he had previously received the commission, which was found on his dead body. No mention has been made of this circumstance, but I have been informed such is the fact. General Stone was finally released, but no explanation has ever been made, or an effort on the part of the War Department shown to clear his reputation from the odium attempted to be thrown upon him by the disastrons battle of
Ball’s Bluff.
THE CONTINENTAL DISGRACE. As you are aware, the Continental is the principal hotel of this city, and is an immense affair. It is under the management of as good Black Republicans as can lie found in the country. During the past four or five years numerous have been the serenades and feasts given to prominent Black Republicans who have made this their home during brief visits. Yet, this house, the center of fashion, Republicanism and “ good order,” is virtually in possession of thieves, blacklegs and blackguards; the principal entrances to it are surrounded day and night by this class of characters, and it is not safe for any respectable woman to pass by there unless accompanied by a gentleman. The spacious bar room Is nightly the scene of disorder, and no gentleman alone is safe in entering there; if not insulted, his pocket is in danger. These scoundrels do as they please, and from the kindnesses extended to them by the attaches of the establishment, a stranger would be led to suppose that the lessees craved their presence. The nuisance has become so intolerable that a vigilance committee is talked of to clear the pavements in front of the hotel of the vermin, and if the new Mayor and the lessees do not act promptly In the matter, outraged citizens will surely take it In hand.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
About one o’clock this morning one of the most destructive fires that Philadelphia has been visited with for a long time occurred. It broke out in the second stery building No. 607 Chesnut street, in the photographing establishment of Mr. J. H. Simons, and destroyed everything therein; the flret floor was occupied by the Howard and Hamden Express Companies, which was completely gutted. The adjoining store of Messrs. Rockhill and Wilson, a large clothing establishment, was ruined. The flames also extended to the building cast of the last named, on the corner of Sixth and Chesnut, and did great damage. Building 600, occupied as a billiard saloon, was also damaged; three book binderies, a concert saloon, a liquor saloon, a lithographic establishment, clothing store owned by Perry &, Co., and the photograph establishment of George Dabbs A Co., were also greatly damaged. The fire burned for nearly three hours, and a whole block of buildings was in danger for a long time. The total loss is estimated at $500,000. Several jiersons were arrested, having in their possession articles of clothing, etc.,
stolen at the fire. THEATRICALS, ETC.

This celebrated demagogue, the defamcr of his earliest and truest friends, is now pulling the wires for the United States Scnatorship; his last dodge is that of Temperance, and rumor says he is to be initiated into one of the Divisions of that order on Thursday crening next. When it is taken into consideration that several very strong temperance men are elected to the present Legislature of this State, those who know the Artftil Dodger will draw their own inferences. The most unfortunate act of Mr. Buchanan’s life was his recommendation of this mountebank to the Democratic members of the Legislature for the position of United States Senator, as against such Democrats as General Foster, Judge Woodward, Judge Campbell, etc. He will not be elected now to the office he so much craves, as he has the enmity of Stevens and the" entire Republican delegation from this city in Congress, whom he has slightinglv spoken of. In fact, it is stated
that he wrote a letter to the Union League of L< * m,oa ” U havin K *** run; the scenery of

publicanism, then is republicanism a failure
and monarchy a blessing.
The adherence of our people to the Republic through all its vicissitudes is sufficient refutation of this assertion. The doctrine, first proelaimet by President Monroe, and now recognized as a cardinal rule of American action, that the United States will not tolerate European interference with the nations of this continent. Governor Anderson describes as of doubtful origin and uncertain purpose. We are opposed to hasty action on the Mexican question, because we believe the French tyrant is about to withdraw peaceably from the" contest, and we would leave Maximilian and the Mexican people to fight their own battles, so long ns only Mexicans shall engage in them; but no intervention on the part of a European monarch should be tolerated when we are In a
position to prevent it.

The egotism of Governor Anderson culminates in tlie following: “Mr. Monroe was, doubtless, a very good, sensible, honest, old fashioned sort of "a President, according to the measure of his abilities.” What a pity he did not possess the taknts an Anderson arrogates to himself!

these facts known to all men, how arc wc preparing for the day of retrenchment? The record of our Importations of foreign goods shows that within the last six months wc have steadily increased in the volume of our imports, and as steadily diminished in tlie volume of exports of domestic produce. In November, I860, there were entered in New York, dry goods to tlie value of 812,687,947, against 82,265,107 for the same month last year. To the close of November the imports of dry goods at New York since January. 1865, were §81,386,800, against 170.031,000 during the same period of last year. The Imports in December will still further swell the increase of our expenditure abt-oAd fbr these goods. It is true that the Government derives an Increased revenucTcom these imports, but It Is also true that we are by these lavish importations building up another debt, instead of retrenching and returning to au economical system of living. For the week ending Deoember 23, the imports into Nsw Yhric alone had a gold value of 86,463,618. This Is at the
Distribution of Arms to the
before the War. <
It used, to be the theme of Black Republican orators during the civil war, that all the arms had been sent South. Mr. STaNTON, of Ohio, a Republican, made a report on the subject, of which s Mr. Buchanan gives an abstract: “The committee made their first report to the House on the 9th of January, 1861. With this they presented two tables 1 Nos. 2 and 8) eornmnnicated tothciu-by Mr. Holt, then the Secretary of War, from the Ordnance Bureau, exhibiting ‘tile number and description of
arms distributed since 1st of January, I860, in 1 the States and Territories, ami at what prices.’ ]
Whoever shall examine table No. 2 will discover that the Southern and Southwestern States received much less in tlie aggregate Instead of more than the quota of arms to which they were justly entitled under the law for arming the militia. Indeed, it is a remarkable fact that neither Arkansas, Delaware, Kentucky. Louisiana, North Carolina, nor Texas received any portion of these arms, though they were armv muskets of the very best quality. “ This arose simply from their own neglect becouse the quota to which they were entitled would have been delivered to eacli of them on a simple application to the Ordnance Bureau. The whole number of muskets distributed among all the States, North and South, was just 8,428. Of these tlie Southern and Southwestern States received only 2.091, or less than onefourth. Again, the whole number of longrange rifles of the army caliber distributed among all the States iii the year 1860, was 1.728. Of these, six of the Southern and Southwestern States, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia received in the aggregate 758, and the remainder of these States did not receive any. “ Thus it appears that the aggregate of rifles and muskets distributed in I860 was 10,151, of which the Southern and Southwestern States received 2,849, or between one-third and onefourth of the whole number. Such 1 icing the state of the facts, well might Mr. Stanton have observed in making this report, much to his credit for candor and fairness, that “ there are a good deal of rumors and speculations and ml&pprehensions us to the true state of facts in
regard to this matter.’ ”
Remission of Sentences.—The Secretary of War has remitted the unexecuted portions of the sentences iu the following cases: Dr. John A. Morgan, a citizen of Missouri, sentenced bv a military commission to impris-
onment for life.
E. A. Smith, a contractor, sentenced by a Court Martial to imprisonment for one year, and fined twenty thousand dollars. To be released upon the payment of ten thousand dol-
lars.
William G. Walker, late Second Lieutenant Tenth United States colored troops, sentenced by Court Martial to he dismissed the service, and pay a fine of $2,175 59, and be imprisoned until the same be paid, deducting two dollars for each and every day’s confinement.—A r <t-

Cotton to New Orleans.—Since tlie oj>ening of tlie Cumberland river, a new feature is presented in the cotton market—or rather an old, familiar feature, .not seen since the war, ami tliereforc almost forgotten, among the liewildering changes wrought by the war.

Mexico.—The prompt nomination of the Hod. Lewii D. Campbell, of Ohio, immediately after the declluatlon of General Logan, i> constdered by the New York News to be indicative of n settled purpose to Ignore the existence of the Government of Maximilian. It may be so, or it may be hut a tribute to the general popular feeling in this country lo favor of the Republic. Time must decide, The recognition Af either Will have little effect on either the Republic or the Empire without more direct Intervention and more potential acts.
but his ambition is such that the simple Mayoralty will net satisfy his cravings, and he now loo£s forward to the nomination for Governor from Jus party. When it is taken into consideration that Philadelphia has not had
a Governor since the days ot
fifty years since) and that the State says she shall not have another one for fifty years more, you can lee what show he has. It would be a fortunate tiling for the Democratic party if he did get the nomination, and I hope he may. His imbecility during the memorable riots of 1844, when he was Sheriff of the county, ami permitted two Catholic churches, a school house, and at least one hundred houses, the residences of poor Catholics, to be burned, can never be forgotten. But there Is no such good luck in store for tlie Democracy. The most prominent man for that office in the Republi-
can party is
GENERAL if A KTRANfT, Recently elected Auditor Geneai. He distinguished himself considerably in tho last war, and is the most popular man in their ranks in the State. DEMOCRATIC PAPERS. It is a source of gratification to know that the Democratic papers of Philadelphia are meeting with great success. A few years since it was a crime to publish a democratic paper in this city, and during tlie memorable 18G1 the Sunday Mercury was the only English Democratic paper published here; and not only the editor and proprietors, but the workmen employed therein were reviled aud their lives endangered by the Union Bhriekers. The Mercury is now the best Sunday paper published ill this city, has a large circulation, and, its advertising columns bespeak how generous a support is extended to it. The proprietors deserve this mark of approbation, for they battled alone through the thickest of the storm. The Age had a hard time at first, the office being surrounded by molts on several occasions, but no serious damage was done; they have outlived the enmity of the shallow-pated things who sought to crush the freedom of speech by destroying the material used in disseminating truth, and now are in such a good state of preservation that the artifices of the Union League can no longer effect them. In fact, it is stated that the principal editor, a member of Congress from York county, was called upon by some of tlie I nion Leaguers recently to use his influence in getting President Johnson to pardon a member of the Republican party who hud plead guilty to pilfering at the Navy Yard. The German Democrat has a circulation of 25,000, and is a very influential Journal among the Gormans of this city ami State. It is very’ ably conducted by Dr. Moritz, who also issues a Sunday paper, which has an immense circu-
lation.
. THE OIL FEVER. This time One year ago, it was no unusual thing to see si 18or seven columns of “ oil” advertisements in the Sunday papers—companies were springing up as if by magic, all teeming with promises to tempt the cupidity of people anxious to speedily become rich. An “oil” advertisement is now a rarety. A gentleman deeply interested in oil speculations—conducting a paper devoted to oil interests nine months ago—informs me that at one time there were six hundred and fifty-six oil companies in the city of Philadelphia alone; I asked him how many of them proved to be of any account; he answered six! You can judge from this to what an extent this oil infatuation was carried., Several millions of dollars were lost in this city by the middling clasts, who were the principal sufferers. There is as much oil drawn from the earth tn Pennsylvania as one year ago, but the few fyaye posfcssion of it and are realizing fortune*; tbe-dupe* are here and in other portions of the United States, desiring to hear as little about oil as their predecessors

From a summary of the prosperity of this city we extract the number and cost of buildings in it tho past year. We take it from the Register, an excellent Democratic paper. It

Wc find after staling tlie number erected during the past year as two hundred and fifty, of these. The number costing 8200,000, is 1 The number costing $100,000, Is . 1 The number costing $50,000, is .2 The number costing $20 000 and more 10 The number costing $10,000 and over - 16 The number costing $5,000 and over 94 The number costing $2,000 and over, is 120 With this genefal estimate of the number and cost of buildings in Springfield during the past year, we mar state the total expenditures made in building at at least $1,200,000, and we doubt not the amount will overreach this
figure.
