" 11 ' -" ' '' : Paying off the National Debt..,, The proposition started some time since, that the national ifebt bo paM off by a subscription of 810,000 each by 200,000 persona, continues to excite remark. The rhiladelphi-t Xortk American scconJn the movement, but suggests that the subscription shotil J not be limited to $10,000, but to any sum, however large, or however small be received for the patriotic object. We aree with the Xorth American. If the national debt is to be paid off in the way suggested, let every man have a chance to contribute. A writer in the New York Journal of Commerce (Thomas Allen, of 1'itUfield,) Is of the opinion that it tv ill be necessary to hold out some pecuniary inducement, find proposes that the public lands be divided among the subscribers at the rate of 5,000 acres of land for every 810,000 subscribed a larger amount for those who exceed that sum, and less for smaller contributions. Or, as the debt may reach three thousand millions, the proportion of land given may be, fixed to suit the actual indebtedness of the country. , Mr. Allen says v "For one, I should be willing to pay the ten thousand if I could thus end the heavy taxation to which I am otherwise to be subjected on account of this war for the rest of my life. Aii I it is t-lear-ly the interest of all those persons, firms or corporations now paying Federal taxes exceeding the interest annually on 810,000, to -do likewise. There are many persons whose interest it would bo, for the same reason, to pay twice, thrice, or even ten time3 that amount, and in the case of the wealthiest, it would be cheap if they could commute for half a million." . The Boston Journal says that one of the "merchant princes" of that city, is an enthusiastic advocate of this scheme, and will give 8:200,000 towards wiping out the national debt. Rebels Skulking in the North. Pollard, of the Richmond Examiner, makes havoc of those southern traitors who are mean enough to sponge upon northern hospitality, and too cowardly to tight for the treason they avow. He says : "While referring to party opinion in the North, the writer may extend allusion to a certain illdenied collection found in the bulk of southern refugees and residents in tlie North. These derelict confederates are the most contemtible of creatures. There are exceptions some few and honorable men detained in the North by tbe confines of the domestic life, doing good work, contributing to our prisoners; not noisy in their demonstrations, but holding tht-ir opinions decorously within the sanctity of their homes, or within the pale of the close society of those who think with them. But there are hundreds and thousands of these sympathetic absentees who in the spiritof sheerest cowardice and grossest selfishness, exploit their southern patriotism in the garnish hotels of New York, and are trying to pass their time pleasantly among the creature comforts of Yankeedom, while the beloved people of the South are left to take for themselves all the risk and privation of war. Many of them live extravagantly, not a few gamble in gold rooms, and these refugees, doughfaced adventurers, fugitives from conscription, and cowards of every stripe, who are bloating and pampering themselves in Yankeedom talk "seccsh" in the New York hotel as loudly and bravely as in the Spottswood House at Kiehmond, despite the civilities the writer met m this former house, and its singular freedom from the piuchbaek of Yankee hotel life, lie must remember occasions of disgust in seeing so many spruce refugees feasting and winning and guzzling in delicate sops of New York luxury, talking Southern patriotism as fierce as baited bears, and in the next breath comparing their gains iu cotton and the profits of their last mysterious trips to Nashville and New Orleans. It is singular that this class are always the trumpeters of President Davis. They are so c.xcessiveby patriotic that they worship him morning, day and night ; they resent everything that does not represent the Confederacy in the colors of the rose, and every expression of Southern opinion, no matter what its manly and incontestable proofs of attachment to the Confederate cause, that implies mistake on the part of President Davis, is fiercely denounced and forthwith tomahawked by these vagabond knights of secessia. The writer was informed that this peculiar Davis mania, at the expense of everybody else and every interest else in the Confederacy, prevails as much among the Confederate absentees and sympathizers in London and Parts, as well as in New York. This is not unaccountable, at least in good part, many of these creatures are the agents and emissaries of President Davis, and through his partiality are reaping rich pecuniary reward in pretending to be political adventurers in the North and in Europe, and in flying certain financial kites for their own benefit. Thus the writer recollects to have met in New York a little ruddy gentleman ruddy with good living who could not be persuaded that Mr Davis was not the Mose3 of Confederate deliverance. At parting, he hoped that tho writer would recommend a certain financial scheme that a certain friend of his had gone to Richmond to lay before the authorities, by which millions of dollars were to be raisev in Europe after the approved fashion of extracting sunbeams from cucumbers. The sympathizers the writer has described may well dread the party South worn to uphold the standard of citizenship and society. The Confederacy is pledged to disown those when their tardy steps shall be turned toward their liberated country, and jealously resolved to preserve the fruits of our independence for those who. have watered them with their blood or brought them to their perfection by their unwearied labor and sincere solicitude."

Flag on Fort Sumter What Next ?

Ln lurid ner standard to the air, - She lure the azure robe of nirt And set the stars of glory there. Flag ct the seat, on oeens ware ! Thy stars ahaE glitter o'er tie brave. Forerer float oVit standard shaet, - Where brataes the foe that falls before ns, WU Ftim-8T beneata mrfet. And Freedom's banner streaming o'er as ! Yes ! Flag of the Free thou has', been irtsnlted, taunted and defied by rebel foes ; but bravely hast thou fought, pa tiently endured, and victoriously achieved! Mitch "bast- thou vet to do. but it illl.duii ; , and - from the top . of , Sumter now, and soon waving from every ' pinnacle in the land, thou wilt be what thou wast, the sign of hope and triumph to every people on the earth. ! Nearly four years ao Beachsgard j telegrajjhed the rebel Congress at Mont- j gomery, from the batteries of Moultrie, j whether he should fire. '7r?," said the ; rebel Secretary, Walker w hose house j home and fortune have long since gono ( to ruin. Then they laughed round the board, as if they were just beginning a j game of nine pins and a fearful game: of nine-pins it has been. Thej have .j been rolled down, till life, homes, for- j tune, all have been broken - and ruined. Of all this Fort Sumter has been the sign and emblem. Of no great consequence in itself, it was the one great sign of the j rebellion. The true national patriots j have never for one moment, forgotten ', that there the rebellion began, and there . they would again plant the Flag of Freedorn, ia spite of all enemies upon earth, f It is done, and this fact stands ont as a! grand, moral evidence that the rebellion j is practically at an end, and yet there ! may be battles and marches of great mo- ' mcnt. All is not done in a dajv j In connection with Fort Sumter, let ns look at the conduct of the civ il and mil- j itary authorities of South Carolina. j Never were nn3r community so thoroughly di ifrraced. There was the boasted "chiv- ! airy," there was the "last ditch," there f was where every man was to make 3 rampart of his breast, and there was where, ! like the old Spartans, they were to-make a grave for themselves or their enemies ' wlmr. ilui llinr Wn lf.nvo -brt rn porters and the Generals to tell the story. As near as we can fret . at it, every man who could bear arms, esivecially lire-eat-insr editors, militia Generals and Governors, with I5F.Ari:E(iAKD at their head, scampered off as fast as they could ! This is not by any means the worst of it. The great slaveholders, secessionists and fire-eaters moved off first, and left the poor,-the old and the helpless, to suffer as they might, to crown the whole, for the sake of a few cotton l aics, they set fire to the city ! The Union people have no possible objection to their bnrniug every stick in Charleston, and throw ing Richmond into the flames with it, but look to the manner of it. Look to the land of chivalry and gallantry for an example of barbarism which Sparta might have envied. A fine specimen of what the whole Secession sect are, is the Proclamation of thJNtying Governor of South Carolina, McGraw. Lying is the element in which it lives anil moves. When Satan setup Pandemonium, he established lying ns the first principle of his Kuipiro. McGraw asks : "When did we ever invade their soil ?' We should be glad to know what he called Fort Sumter, on the 18th day of April, 18G1 ? Whose flag was it that waved upon its summit ? Who built it? WI13, the very rocks in its foundation were brought from the Hudson River, and Massachusetts. The very tide water which rolled around it, was! acknowledged by all people, and all Governments, to be the waters of the United States. But we pause. The Govern-i ment has' vindicated its right, stated in Mr. Lincoln's first Proclamation, to retake, and plant its flag 011 every fort, port, building, arsenal, and territory, on which it ever waved. We do not blame the rebels for evacuating Charleston or retreating before Siiekm ax. If they did i not behave so meanly after bragging so loud, there would be nothing discredit- ! able to them. They could not help j evacuating. The progress of war brought i our armies to their doors, and they must j surrender everything or fly. And now, ! what next? We have already stated ; Lek's position and the probabilities of j the case. Something more may be added ' to that. The real question now is, whether I Lke will evacuate Richmond ? And that j is a question not to be decided by any I oneontside of Richmond. If Leb and Davis think that Richmond can be de-1 fended after" Sheumajt arrive on the ; railroads of North Carolina, they will ! stay there. If not, they will evacuate, j hard as the case mayre. For ourselves i we can answer it definitch'. Richmond j cannot be defended after Sheusas ar- ; rives at uanvwie. r rom some indications in the Richmond papers, that seems to be understood there, but that leads to no inference. The Richmond Examiner says, that if Siierman cannot reach the f Danville road, he might as well not have j started. We are of adilferent opinion;! but we readily admit that unless he can j seize the Danville road, the fall of Richmond is not a necessity. The Examiner and Gen. Leb seem to think Shekxas j can be arrested before he reaches the j Danville road. How is it to be done?; We snppose the troops sent to Beacke- j gakd, those who escaped with Haeosk, j the garrison of Charleston, and those 1 under Hoke at Wilmington, may alto- j gether make an army of 40,000. This I is not more than half enough to resist j Shesxak. What is to be done ? Sup- j pose it were practicable which we be- j little lO UWttTItJ luilin.ho.auic LKJl Lek to send 30,000 more men to Bf.act.sgard. His army then making 70.000 veteran troops would be able to meet Succuiv T?nt -whatare ice to do ? The 23d armv corps (detained on the Poto- ! - mac by ice), is 20,000; the troops nndcr f Tkrrt, Gilmoub and others, nnmber 0,-1 000. All these, making. 40.UOU of onr best soldiers, are where they can rein-" force Shkrmaj at aaj- moment, while on his right flank are ample supplies on a sea base. Sherman can meet the rebels with a superior and better army, let them do what thev will. But what is Gravt to do? If Lek really sends thirty thousand of his troops to Bkackegarl, the fall of Richmond will come very sooa. In that case they must giva np Peters burg; Richmond will be completely invested, and must soon surrender. We come back then , to the first question : Will Lek evacuate Richmond? We can not say. The difficulties on both sides are'very great. It look? now as if he

.would. We should desire hira to stay ; but it is hardly probable General Lee j

Thus the man who deposits $1000 ig a private. Savings' Bank receives 50 dollars a year interest ; if ne deposits the same sum in this j National Savings' Bank he ree -ives 73 dollars. For tliose who w ish to find a safe, cuveiueut,and profitable moans of investing tlie surplus earnings which they have reserved for their old age or for the benefit of thoir children, there is nothing which presents so many advantages as this National Loan. Tns National Motivk. The war is evidently drawing to a close, but whih it lasts tho Treasury must have money to meet its cost, and every motive that patriotism can inspire should induce the people to supply its wants without delay. The Government can buy cheaper for cash in hand than on credit. Let ns see that its wants are promptly and liberally satisfied. The People's Bonds. From the New York Tribune , Feb. 20. While Congressmen debated, on Thursday last, the policy of restricting the issue of the new Government Bonds to sums not less than One Hundred Dollars, and knocked back and forth the shuttlecocks of ancient argument against and in favor of Fifty Dollar Bonds, the nedlcwomcn of the Northern and West ern villages, cities and towns, and the mechanics and apprentices of thrifty 1 habits and patriotic faith, stepped forward and settled the question authorita tivcly, and in favor of both issues. Thirteen hundrtd and fifty of them carried thetr little earnings to Jay Covke's agencies, and bought Fifty Dollar Bonds, and eighteen hunded ef ' them bought One Hundred Dollar Bondi. A telegram coramuuicating this precious fact to the Committee in Washington was accepted as a decision of the point under discussion. lhe provision j in the bill authorizing the issue of the small bonds was retained. What novelties in Finance does this War give legitimate birth to! How it uncovers to sight the broad, deep, eternal foundations of the American Democracy the love, faith, industry, and intelligence of the People! In the monarchies of Europe, war loans are .taken by wealthy Louses and combinations of bankers.. In the monarchies of Europe, the people hoard and hide their earnings in time of war. In the American Te public, it is the People that take the warloan of their Government. In the Light of war, tho humblest American women and men, those who customarily eat the daily bread of daily labor, with a brave joy and a generous conSdeace, bring all they have and lend it to their country. "Tis wise as well as noble banking. A friend writing to ns from Philadelphia, says : "I saw this afternoon many, very many working men and women in their workinsr clothes, briri? in Jav Cooke's office their little savings of S50 "d 8100, and buy the -0 and 100 7.30 bonds. Don't let anybody hereafter talk to rae aboat theperroancy of a Gov ernment in whose permanency the woiking classes are depositors ! Unshakable and eternal is the State which is in debt to those of its citizens who depend upon their daily bread." LriicsC5 Mistake.

But as soon as they break up their j j armed organisations and return to their j homes, I take it they will be dealt with by the civil Courts. Some of the reb els in Georgia in my Judgement, deserve death, because they have committed murder and other crimes which are punished with death by all civilized Governments on earth. I think this was the course indicated bv General Washington in reference to the Whisky Insurrection and a like principle seemed to be re cognized at the time of the Il'irr coaii,'ir;lc.- J .",., ' . ... , , 1 t As to tue L mon of the States under -J ! .

Jackson, the "Union must and shall be preserved." Certainly Georgians can1 not ouestion the authority ot such men, and should not suspect our motives, who are s-imply fulfilling their commands. Wherever necessary, force has been used to carry out that end, and you may rct assured that the Union will be preserved, cost what it may. And if you are sensible men you will conform to this order of tilings or else emigrate to fonie other country. There is no other alternative open to the people of Georgia. My opinion is that no negotiations arc necessary, nor commissioners, nor con volitions, nor anything of the kind. Whenever the people of Georgia quit rebelling against their Government, and elect members of Congress aud Senators, and these go and take their seats, then the State of Georgia will have resumed her functions in the Union. These are merely my opinions, but in continuation of them, as I think, the people of Georgia may well Consider the following words relating to tho pco pie of the rebellious States, which I quote from the recent annual message of President Lincoln to Congress at the present session : They can at any moment hare peace simply by laving down their arms and submitting to the national authority under the Constitution. After so much the government could not if it would, maintain the war against them. Tne loyal people would not sustain or allow it. If questions should remain we would adjust them by the peaceful means of legislation, conference, courts and votes. Operating only in constitutional and lawful channels, some certain and other possible questions are and would be beyond the Executive power to adjust, as, for instance, the admission of members intoCongress, and whatever requires the appropriation of money." ; The President then alludes to the general pardon and amnesty otlered for more than a year past, upon specified and most liberal terms to all except certain designated classes even there being "still within contemplation of special clemency," and adds: "It is still so open to all, but. the time may come when public duty shall demand that it be closed and that in lieu, more vigorous measures than heretofore shall be adopted." It seems to me that it is time for the people of Georgia to act for themselves, and return in time to their duty to the Government of their fathers. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, W. T. SiiEiiMAN, Maj. Gen. Lieutenant Cushing's Exploit. Correspondence of the Sew Tort Tribune. Fokt FisiiJCR, Feb. 14. 1hG5. The rising hero of the navy, Lieut. Cushing, continues to astonish the rebels, as well as our own forces, by his acts of daring and skill. A few nights since in his '"light canoe" he rowed around and up a creek leading from Falls Inlet to a presuming little borough named Charlotte. This had been the general depot of supplv for the garrison at Fort Anderson. The dashing Lieutenant entered the town late in the evening called upon the Mayor, summoned together the Common Council, and proposed to give them by daylight his conditions of captare. lie ordered a breakfast for himself and staff officers, to be ready at 4 o'clock, which was promised by the city god fathers, who with the most cheerful alacrity bad surrendered the town, under the supposition that Cushing had 4,000 or 5,00t men at his heels. He burned a large warehouse tilled with rebel commissary stores, loaded some SO bales erf cotton on fats lying along shore. Lad his oarsmen float it down to the ocean waters, when the dashing Lieutenant, with cotton prize-money in his eye, formally seized it for and in behalf of the brave tars whom he had induced to accompany him. On Friday night he rowed np to Wilmington, circumnavigated all its wharves boats, Ac , and then rowed back to Lis ship, passing all their forts and batteries entirely unobserved. Again on Saturday night he rowed up to the obstructions across the river in front of Fort Anderson, took a deliberate and accurate survey of the same, their location, and the plan of theii construction. While skipping about npon the heals of the piles (it being deal iow water) he heard cheering and other declamatory exercises goieg oa within the fort. Leaving Lis boat in the narrow space left for the passage cf vessels, he quiet ly approached the fort, while the sentries attention was turned as was his to an out door speech being delivered by Bragg to the rebel garrison. Listening to his heart's content, he commenced his t&tarn, when his presence was discovered and several volleys of musketrv were

fired at him without effect, and after vanishing ia,Jhejdsrkncs, and the rebel U ing it to be some reconnoissance from, our infantry line on the other side, 'open ed fire upon onr men, as stated above'. Cushing returned safely to the ship to receive again, the congratulations of his comrade. . . - -

J 'Richmond, Tflkgram :" I. ' Richmond, Ind. Sir, I Lave been shown an article iu your paper, charging me with having sent to Richmond from Indianapolis, a number of ''Refugees," some of whom have the small pox. There is no foundation whatever for this statement. I have never eent or caused to be sent, a refugee from Indianapolis to Richmond or any other place. It is true however, that some two or three weeks ago, Mr. Turner, an otheer of the Indiana Sanitary Commission, called upon me and requested me to furnish transportation to Richmond, for a nnmber of refugees. The request was promptly refused, accompanied with the statement, that tlie State transportation could not be used for that purpose, and that I would not be instrumental in sending them to any particular place. The enclosed letter of Mr. Turner, will perhaps throw some light upon the subject, and explain the manner in which the refugees got to Richmond. As you have made the charge, I trust you will do me the justice to publish this, together with Mr. Turner's letter. r Ve ry Respect full v, O. P. JfORTO, , Governor of Indiana.

Editor 'Richmond Telegram Dear Sir, My attention has been called to an article in your paper of last week, in regard to a number of refugees brought from Nashville, Tenn., find distributed amongst the citizens of Wa3-ne County. f . ; You are entirely mistaken in your statement, in saying1 that they were sent there upon the order, or even the suggestion of Governor Morton. " T The facts are as follows: Mrs. M. F. Thomas, a resident of Richmond, and Mr. Farwell, a gentleman from Xew York, called at this office, on the 14th or loth of February, made a request that transportation be furnished for a hundred refugee to Richmond, Ind. . i j j They ivere informed by me that transportation could not possibly be furnished. At their request, I went to see the Governor in relation to transportation. I stated the case, and he promptly refused to have anything to do with the matter. Upon my return to the office, I found Mrs. Thomas, and Mr. Farwell had left, and subsequently learned that they had obtained the transportation sought for, from the Ind. Central R. R. Mrs. Thomas.and Mr. Farwell, arc the agents of the government, in looking after refugees, and my impression is, that is was at the suggestion of Mrs. Thomas, that this lot of refugees were taken to Richmond.
