ita readers a moat able article upon "Tiie National Pcbt, and Our Resources." It is with gratification that we give our readers the "facts and figures" that will prove to most minds, the capacity of our fri-o institutions to meet financially the exigencies of one of tlie most stiiiendous wars the world has ever witnessed, and that though dark clou Is may at present overshadow the growing greatness and grandeur of our Republ'c, we still se the tilttr linining to the clouds, sud as the storm dissipates under the infltieuce of the pure sunshine of freedom and loyalty, generations yet unborn will rise, to bless tho present race, who have freely sacrificed life and treasurs in behalf of tlie integrity of our I'nion. Tlie writer says : "Tho future of this Republic claims the attention of all who are looking confidently to tiie ultimate triumph of Republican lntttitiiU i;s', and although existing circumstauces render investigation iu this direction open, in a measure, to the criticism of being speculation upon uncertain premises, yet there is abundant data upon which we may base an opinion, and from which We think we may deduct reliable conclusions. No subject connected with the rebellion seems to be more misundersbiod and misrepresented than that of thirelation of our debt to our resources. Apart from the evil vaticinations cf those inimical to the Government, thousands of loyal aad patriotic people are appalled at the augmenting magmtu to of the former, while, apparently ignoring the fact that the value of tbe latter keeps pace with it. When the rebellion was first inaugurated, a certain class of critics, both at home and abroad, very confidently asserted that it would be found impossible to contract loans for the support of hostilities. Their prorcd error, in this case, aUords Rtivng presumptive evidence that their judgment on these questions was subject to a peeuliar warping ititkiunce. There ia no mre ditlieu'ty in ascertaining the ability of a nation to curry a'pertain amount of debt than thern is iu a merchant estimating whether he can safely contract a given amount of obligations. Iu both cases the resources for payment of interest or principal are open M estimate, aiid the question of ability to pay is therefore not verv ditik-ult to determine. The most extreme estimates with regard to the probable limit of the National debt to 1 contracted in the aupprussioQ of tbe rebellion, haro not exceeded 1,000,000,000. Tho debt on the 19th iu.-tant according to official statement was $l,7'.t,203,000 and, considering the present ni.iiiar v situation, and an increase of revtnuu, which it is presumed must accrue from the new tax and tarid measures, it seems much more probable that the war will closo upon a OVbt under :i.(H0.000,O00 than orer that amount. Adopting tlie extreme estimate of St.OOO.UOO.OOO, however an 1 supposing the annual expendi lures of the Government to be S'.0,000.000, t lOO.OOO.ooO, of which to be raised under the new revenue bills, would leave $100,000,000 per annum to be raised on bonis or other forms of indebtedness, to meet current expenditures, inclu.lirg interest, which won! ! allow a Period of over fire and a half years more of hostilities before t.'ie maximum figure of $4,(H'O,00ii.O )0' was reachs.1, Aecor ling to the returns for the fiscal year cudiug on the 30th ult., tlie customs revenue of the Giveruinent. in eoiu, wa over l''.l,Oe0.UtHI, or about twice tiie whole amount of the interest on the present gold bearing debt of tiie nation, to meet which, th;s revmte is by law expressly pledged. There is, t'ler-ef -re. no reason why our debt ca".-v t be carried and tlie interest regularlv ji 1, even if there shall be n increase of revenue under the new measures provided by the last Congress. Aa individual may have doubts as to his cap ability of paying, at some future time, a debt bicli he incurs to-day, but our Country has the assurance that its wealth will increase with the growth of iu popu'atioa. taking tile past as a criterion. The census reports demonstrate that the real and personal property of the United States iurreased during tha decade from W0 to 1&9, sixty-four per rent. From 1S50 to W0 it increased from $J,lt,0o0,iK to JU.1,000,0 or. uwe Awa.iVv itni ttreNtjr-wrrn yr cent, of wliich nearly $ I l.oOO.rtOO.DO bctonga to the loyal States. The probability is the next tea years will ahow a further increase i J material wealth and prosperity, as tiie result of the rapid extension of oui railroad system, and consequent openmgr ont of fresh territorv for agriculture, the increase ia immigration, the development of manufactures and conunerce.an:niiig interests, ie. Pritish history a'd iM aa auaV-gy to the state cf a flairs existing in this country, or likely to exist at the doee of the retallion. In ISto. at the termination uf the great war. tlie English national debt amounted to $4Mt,0O0.0vi, vr forty -one per cer.t. of tlie wealtS ef that country, which was then eetimatwl at S ll.tiirt.1)00. O0, so tiut inn Wad of being imjioyeriahed by tiie war, she attained thai great impetus which made her the wealthiest nation of the world. The basis thn es taboaaed aas- never been weakened, for while her debt sell rrachea tbe cnoraous snui of (3,a0O.0iM.0u0, ber wealth has risen to S J1, 500,000,000. The secret of tais great prosperity lies ia the fact that ber debt is owDed by her own people. Were tbe balk of it bell abroad, the case woujd be materially d liferent; but held at home it eariehei the people instead of being a burden apoa them j for, while the amount of tiie debt basdinuniahed but little relatively, the wraith of tiie country has gone oo increasing until the former, in had become a charge upon tbe latter of onlv 12' per real, against 1 per ceat. m 1961. thir ow debt is also held at home, thus constituting an active racial, ao.1 the loyal States are undoubted! v richer to-. lay than tbey ever were N-fore. If the war closes d urine tbe current var, tbe whole interest bearing debt will not exceed,' tf it reacb, $2,k.0o.fH0. Toeee facts oflcring, as tiier unquesuonably do. a gwarantee for a bright futnre, sbonkl cenainl v ease the mind of the timid who look upoa the National debt as a weight tbe conutry cannot bear. ren our English friends across tne Atlantic, who are not supposed to favor the North in ber efforts to suppress lue rebelboo, acknowledge cor great Nations! wealth, the London Sl uaiwiir bariag demoststraUMi recently ourabilitv to bear, easily , aa annual taxation of six hundred ixulricB of dollars.

Letter from Col. Streight. XIk AOO.I ARTKRS 51PT I.N'MaNa Voli nteers : t'u vttxnooo, Texn., July Id, lSt. C DeakSik I learn, tlir.uiirh the papers, that you have been nmiuatd by the Democracy of Indiana for tlie high an 1 responsible otliee of Governor of our State. This calls to mind a conversation held with you some timj m February, IHil. You will recollect that you theu niaiiiiaoie 1 that a State bad a sonstitutional right to secetle from the Cnion whenever a majority of the people taereof sav tit to do so ; and tiiat the Constitution granted no power to the Ireneral Government to coerce a "Sovereign State,." and that any war waged hy our Government against tha ,;Sovereign States" of the South, would be entirelv unconstitutional, illegal and without authority. The position you then took seemed to me so anti-national and revolutionary in its tendency, tiat I attiiat lime, proposed to discuss with you throiieh the public press, the questions involved in our conversation; and although you declined a public discussion, nevertheless the earnest manner in which you maintained your position, made a deep impression upon my miu 1. Aud since the Vallandigham or peace wing of the Democracy have openly taken the id ntical position that you tiien occupied, I have frequently thought of the argument you used at the t;in ? above referred to. 1 see also that ill your speech before the Convention that nominated you, you stated that you were opposed to the war as it is at present prosecuted. Though you in the same speech referred to a resolution passed by the Democracy on the Hth of January, 12, to-wii : "That wc will sustain with all our energies a war for the maintenance of the Constitution and the integrity of the L'nion under the Constitution." as having leen the sentiment of the De mocracy at that time, and that rou were not aware that it has been change! since. You did not as v that you endorsed tiie resolution, or that you would endeavor to carry it out if elected. Hence each individual is left to form his own opinion as to your intentions on this vital and important subject. In view of your nomination to the high and responsible otliee of tioveruor of our State, and of too vast influence that Indiana wields in this great struggle for national life, together with tlie s'range, unnatural and unpatriotic (not to say treasonable) course tint a ortiou of the Democratic party hare taken in relation to tiie war in which we are engaged, I Like the liberty in behalf of the vast army of Indiana soldiers who have left home and friends to sustaiu our nation in a war against traitors to ask you t answer a few plain straight forward questions, that we msy know tullv how you stand on the great issues of tlie day. This would enable us f should we have the opportunity to vote mi lerst.i-i lingiy in the coming election and we should by better prepared to i'J'lge of the probable couscqueace-s ttiat would follow your election. 1st. Is it your prem-ul o)inion that the general government has the constitutional right to coerce a State or any number of States, that h ive or m ly secede . 21. Is it it your present opinion that the general government has th? constitutional right to coeroe a Sute that seeedes Please inform as as ii what evidence has changed your opinion since February, 1U. Tho answer to this question is of tne u'nv-t importance as it is hoped tlmt any evi.ience sntiieieaiiy strong ti change yur mi-ad to the" epposi'e of your well' settled legal opinion would if uiide pu'ie" convince thusanls of t.ie Democracy, who are still clinging to the sami dangerous dogma that you did a: that '.line. 31. In case you have not changed yur opinion ou this subject since 1S"1. p'ease inf rm ns as to whet'ier you would not, in the event of your election, feel yourself bound to opjiose by every pssi'ile m.-ans the prisecnt'.on of a war that you tiieu declared would be unconstitutional, unnecessary and snry ? 4th. What do you and your party mjan by dclarmti vs on the Sta of January, to which you refer. 1 in favor of a war tor tlie maintenance of tha Constitution, and the L'nion under tlie Constitution 7 Do they believe. as you did in liril, tlutt the States are sovereign, an 1 that a war to coerce t:iem is unconstitutional. thu decianuff in effect that fie seceded States are only fighting for their constitutional rights ; and if so, is tlie war to which thf y refer as the one they will support in maintenance of the Constitution, 1 1 le a war against our Government and our army ? The importance of answering this question is plain to every one, from the fact that you and a large an 1 influential portien of your party Lave repeatedly declared tnat tlie States" were sovereirn, and as such hid n right to secede, an.l that a war to coerce them is necessarily naeoiiatitutional. Now it is plain that if yon aad your party are ia favor of war to m tint tin tlie Constitution in this erisw in our rrstional a!f tirss voa EuLt tmf yourseif acainst the '.ovemment and the army that are. prosecuting aa neonstitiilional war, whic! "vou an-i f air party have so often deelarei to be our Government and onr army. 5th. You and your party declared tliat you are uttcriv opposed ti the war as. it is now prosjeuted ; nowjtncaseof your election, and the present policy of eon iueting t-io war should a jt be changed, would you exert yoe.-self with real and tnergv to turnlsb tbe liivernmeat with necessary men to fill all calls that may be made by the President from t:m to time, irrespective of "roar oientoa cf the crmstitutluaality of the wax. or of the wisiciaof the policy with wiiich it may be conducted ? " These are grare rnetins. and viral-" nw to us in the army j we are desirous t Iraoa; wbcaser Xaen is really danger of revolulioa and Uoivisel . injMir beloved Sta tel We fear tliat t elect a Goreruor who is opposed to tbe war will brine1 the Sta and Xroal authoritiesi iu a!tti ; boooe our aypreheniu()s of civil war ia thai event.

All the Copperheads and soreheads declare Mr. Lincoln inconsistent, because in his inaugural message he reiterated the doctrine of his party, that slavery . within the State was not to be interfered with, and yet issued his proclamation of January' 1st, 163, declaring slavery 'i iioro u Knr.tWd fallncv ? is a mofi this reasoning, th jt can be illustrated by a -very natural fabio. Once upon a time,' when the people of Qtiacktown became possessed w ith the notion tnat blue pill never had eiiecte-1 a cure, but on the contrary ha i killed more people than ever fell in batt'e, a physician proposed to locate in their midst. The cold shoulder waa turned upon him; but he resolved ut all events to establish his reside7.ee in that delightful burg. Immediately alter the smoke was seen to ascend from the new doctor's hearthstone, the. people held a public meeting, and. requested the presence of the new physician. He attended, and was t ld that to administer blue pill was held, in that highly enlightened community, as equivalent to murder, and if he would dwell among them in peace, he must pledge himself not to prescribe it I he doctor rose, and plainly stated that j he had no desire to interfere w ith their j domestic concerns, and that, in his opinion, blue pill was contrary to the constitution of man whose principles he had sworn to uphold. This declaration was received with rounds of applause, and on the adjournment of the meeting the doctor wits warmly congrtulated by all the citizens present, and his appearance among them cordially welcomed. At length diseases broke out in that usually healthy town, anl after trying in vain all milder remedies, the doctor ad ministered blue piils to full half the population. . Those continued exempt from attack were indignant, and declared the doctor a deceitful and perjured villain. Tbey called another public meeting. wiiich the doctor also" attended, and at which he was called upon to vindicate himself against t'ue charge of having violated his oath aud made himself grossly inconsistent. The doctor a ose, armed with aa abundance of assurance and selfpossession, and stated that blue pill was most undoubtedly unconstitutional that is, while the principles of the constitution are operative; bat. a large portion of the people of Qaacktown having grossly violated -the constitution and denied its authority, thns bringing upon themselves disease, which would, if not checked, utterly destroy the constitution, he became ia duty bound, as a physician, to counteract the ravage of the contagion which would otherwise spread through all our borders. Now, that which is contrary to the constitution in Lealtti J wo:;ld destroy, possesses a'neutralLiing effect in disease and saves the consti except somfc quacks that "had previiu-Iv governtr.l the to-vu, and aiivui pUysiciau tyuoi wanted the doctor's practrce.

""r' Andrew Jackson on Speculators." Just before General Jackson retireil from the.Preai-Jencj', he told Hon. James Guthrie tfhis characteristic method of dea'ing ith men who undertook to deal
knpropeci.v with the exigencies of their - a. a e- - eoUailry.!. Contractors fallowed General Jackson's arrcv lar into the Indian country, aud when the army Lepra to puffer for want of provisions, some of these dealers began to ask fabulous prices for their proviions. Jackson's w as at last" Informed of their emrtionatf lehiands, and he Sirmmoned them before him and atteiuptel an appeal to thfr patrir-tism. He found that soil perfectly stevilo. At length'. ordered a body of orScers to appraise the rroods and allow the owners a itberl prut, and then he shoftl v5,t.s? owners the amrUeiment. He offered to take theii prorisious at the apprisemct. They refused to sell, an I Jackson "detcrmiud that his soldiers should not starve, ordered the ration to be distributed, and faithful accounts to bekipt. As soon a the owners saw their provisions uisjwvnearuisr. thev waited uton General Jackson and agreed to accept his terms. Everything went on until he oifered in payment United States Treasury notes. They refused to take them, and demanded gold. Jackson reasoned with them, until he found they were inexorable in the demand. He then oi tiered a file of soldiers to tie detailed, two of them with axes, to place the uupatriotic owners on tlatboats on which their goods had beeu stored. General Jackson said that after he had placed them on the boats, he made what he told them was his last appeal, and at the last moment they consented to take the Treasury not-s. He paused at this part of the statement until Mr. Guthrie asked him what he intended to do incase of a persistant refusal. The old patriot replied that he "would have ordered the two soldiers armed with axes to cut tiie cables, ami the fellows on board might have rloated to hell or Texas, he would not of ct-red which." He said "a man who would not trust his country when engaged in war was not fit to live."' We heartily say amen to Old Hickory's patriotic sentiment. We regret that he is not here now, to pack unpatriotic currency gamblers on tlatboats and float them oil to unknown shores. What is a Gopher? Some inquiry has been made relative to the appropriateness of tlie term Gopher, which we have applied to the secret and treasonable organization calling itself "The Sons of Liberty." The name it appropriates conveys a falsehood 011 its face, lor every vagabond connected with it is a sworn slave of the leaders of the Order, and a name is needed more appropriate to the burrowing gang, aud which is at once sh rt, and expressive of the subject. Wc think we have found one that Gts in both of these particulars. The Gopher ot the natur ulist is called, in the vernacular of the prairies, a prairie dog. Webster defines the animal as follows : "Gophci, The French popular name (Guufers) of two species of Diplostoma, as is supposed, rodent quadrupeds, found in tho Mississippi Valley and on the Missouri, f bout the size of a squirrel. They burrow in tho earth, tir.'o -viiig ;:p Lillet k. twelve or eighteen inches high. They arc mischievous in cornfit lps and gardens.' "e will add in fertile r illustration of the habits of the Gophci, that it and the rattlesnake often burrow together in the same hole, in harmonious companionship; and that the animal seems to be a cross between the wharfrat and the ground hog, possesed of all tlie mischievous propensities of both, without the cunning of the rat or the courage of the ground hog. Tiie name, Gopher, embraces all the qualities neccessary to make a fininished Vallandighatu conspirator, so let the name be Gopher. Ind Jour. A Picture to Reflect Upon.

Newton, when asked bow he had made so great a progress in the sciences, replied : "ily always intending my mini." Such men are burning-glasses that turn all the rays of reason, and revelation, and experience upon a single point. What they look at must melt before their gaze and now into ta) mold of their mvn subline design, or evaporate to translucent vapor, in whose curling wreaths they may find new forms of lieauty or new hints of truth. Their brains are crucibles in which tiod lays the crystal truths, fresh dug from the mines of the Forever, to be compounded and molded into forms of use for man into less dazzling forms, such as nun may look upon and live. Such men believe, t"o, in the chain of tilings ; thnt nothing comes by chance; that any thing is always the fvUier of something : that if vou strike Uie earth 111 raise the aut'ttode, taougb their lie a molten planet ... 1 -. f.. . 1 'Tween tne oiow ami 11s enrfci. xiieir t;iiciu e-ve-is tiie erliciency of labor. Someono says that, at est Point, "Colonel Uuford. the chirf engineer, Hiun.tud with a hammer on the truunions of a cannon till lie br,-ke them olf. lie fire-1 a piece of or luauce some hun I red times in swift succession till it burst.

Tiiis faith in effort makes such luen indomitable, and in full belief of the nobility of labor, oThev would not waste tlieir spring of youth In idle dalliance ; they would plant rich seeds To blossom in tlieir manliood, end baar fruit When they are oil" And such u n have enthusi im ; no tiu sprightly leaves, but the inner, stalwart branch tliat bears tlie fruit ; notthe spray that dashes on the beach, nor tho surface wave, that docks itmdfiii dancing, white-feather-e l plumage, but ratlii the deep, mid ocean current that bears its continents of ice as fiuietly as a breath a feather ; not the dashing comet, with his luminous, haiy train, astonishing tho world for a day, and thn to disappear forever, but the modest, yet mighty and enduring planet ; not tlie dazzling lightening, that flashes and ia gone, Imt tlie coustantly-blazing sun, that never dims, in fact, though clouds should intervene for weeks and years. Enter tin presence of such a man, and your suit! instinctively takes off its shoes. Before you have touched tlie hem of bis giirai- ot.-c. do you not feel tlutt virtue has gone out of liimani entn-l you? tlmt hia divinity bas aa-akeried yours? that your nature and your super-nature bow to his? Does not humanity vail itself in reverence and tremble, but only to assume a greater dignity and assert its divine birthright and co-heirship with the object its worship? There's a philosoliy in presence which men do not lirtfy understand." Though not a word has passed, you go out from such a nun with greater self-respect, with 1 his her resolves, w;th your passions subdued, and yonr ' reason oa its uative throne. You have had a baptism of st.eugtii in the cloud of Lis glory. There's a communion of hearts which lang-iige has never hampered, and, thank God ! H never can. There's- an rmbrokea sncoess'ou of non-jirofessional reformers whose very silence bas bom vocal "to those that listen well," in favor of those reforms which bare sometimes been . hindered by the no-tempered seal of bigoted enthusiasts.

Vast Armies; their. Movements. There have been vast armies aad grand movements in ancient times. Here ia a record of some of them: ; Sennacherib, the Bible tells us, lost in a single night 185,000 by the destroying angel. .; t The city of Thebes had a hundred gates, and could send out at each gate ll.000 fightinjv men and lhX chariots in all 1,000 000 men aud 2.000 ehatioU. The army of Trerah, King of Ethiopia, consisted of 1,000,000 mea and 300 chariots of war. Sesostric, King of Egypt, led against his enemies t00,000 men 114,000 cavalry, and 27 so v the-armed cltariotei 1401 before Christ. ' II am il car went for Carthage and landed near Palermo. . lie had a fleet of 2.000 ships and S,0K) small vessels and a land force of 200,000 men. At the battle in which he wa defeated 150,000 men were slain. Ninus, the Assyrian king, about 2,200 years before Christ, lead against tho Bactrians an army of 700,tHK horses, and 16.000 chariots armed with aeytites. Semiramis emploveil 2,tWO,0)0 men in building Babylon- Sh; UKk 105,000 prisoners at the IuJus, and aauk 1,000 Vioats. A short time after the taking of Babylon, the forces of Cvrus consisted of 000.000 foot, 120,000 horses, aad 2,000 chariot armed with scythes. An army of Cambyses, 50,000 strong, was buried up in the dasert saals of Africa by a south wind. When" Xerxes arrived at Thermopjhc, his land and sea forces amouutcd to 2,014,010, exclusive of servants, eunuchs, women, sutlers, ito , in all numbering 5.2S2.220. So say Herodotus, riutrareu and Isocrates. The army of Artaverpes, before tho battle of Cjnaxa, amounted to 1,200,000. Ten thousands horses and 100,000 foot fell on the fatal field of Isaus. When Jerusalem was taken by Titus. 1,100.000 perished in various ways. , The armv of Tamerlane is said to havo amounted to 1,000,000. and that of hia antagonist, Bajazet, 1,400,000.
Hooker in Battle. A correspondent of tho New York Times, with the army of the Cumberland, says : Gen. Hooker, I am somelimes afraid, will not witness the termination of th war. He is a fearless hero. He seems t stake his existence against th e execution of whatever he is duly appointed to carry out, and hia fall need not unexpectedly be met by the ltepublic'8 friends. With my love and devotion for all tho noble soldiers of the army of the Cumberland. I sincerely believe that the loss of Hooker, above any other general olllcer, would produce the most universal gloom and desolation. God grant that no such calamity may overtake tis in this critical era of our nation's existence. A horticulturist advertised that he would supply all sorts of trees and plants, especially "pie plants, of all kinds." A gentleman thereupon sent him an order for "one package of custardpie seed, and a few dozen of miuce pie seed." The gardener promptly filled the order by sendiug him four goose egg and a small dog. Jt" One person asked another if ho believed iu the appeareuce of spirits? "No," was the reply; "But I believe in their disappearance. I have missed ti bottle of brandy since last night." The New Regiments. The War Department has authorized eleven new regiments in this State, to rendezvous at Kvansville, New Albany, Columbus, Lawrenceburg, New Castle, Shelby ville, Grccncastle, Lafayette, Michigan City, Fort Wayne and Ivokomo. Recruiting officers will le appointed on presentation of testimonials as to ability to procure recruits ; commandants of camps will canvass tlieir districts; tran-qxrtation will be furnished to recruiting officers and recruits ; the subsistence of recruits at places other than the camps, will be provided for seven days, at not exceeding 30c, and lodging 12c, and the field officers will be appointed by the Governor.
