dred millions or dollars.
Look at what England (whoso ncwfpa
per writers aro prophesying bankruptcy in
the North,) expended Irom 1193 to 1814
It tells its own story. Tho public expen
diture or England during tho war which
was begun in 193, nnd was continued
("with short intermissions in 1801 and
1814,) until the final overthrow or Nnpo
Icon in 1815, were conducted throughout
upon a truly gignntic scale.
In 1192 the etitiro public expenditures
or the kingdom were 19,859,123 (or, in
round numbers, ninety millions of dollurs.)
In 1814 the current expenditures amoun
ted to 116,180,895, and the interest upon
the debt to 30,05 1,205, making an ng
gregalesum of 10C,832,2G0 or about
five hundred nnd thirty millions of dollars
paid out of the exchequer for the dis
bursements or that one year.
The expenditures of England during tbe
ten years rrom 1S04 to' 1814, averaged
84,001,1G1, or four huudrcd millions ol
dollars per annum. I take round nnm
bcrs merely, to avoid the trouble orn close
calculation. -Multiply this annual sum by
the ten years or expenditure, and yonr
readers will find that England expended in
that four thousand millions or dollars
against Napoleon and tho other powers
with whom she was nt war.

Brother Jonathan has always been a
peaceful individual until his present domes
tic scrimmage. He has stood by with his
hands in his pockets and watched the wars
of the Old World with a curious but not
greatly interested attention. He has seen
the Europcnn nntions stick to the same old
modes of liirlitmi lor venrs, inventing nom-
imt new nnd improving the old but little.
The Austrian have relied upon their urn:,
the Russians upon their overwhelming num
bers, the French upon the bayonet, the
EuMish upon their hearts or oak. nnu wood
en walls. Invention had improved every
thiiiL' but war.
Suddenly Brother Jonathan was precipi
tated into 0 fight of his own. He hastily
caught up the old weapons of offence and
defence, but improved everything he touch
ed. The world has since been tnkii'g les
sons of him in the art of war. Invention
has succeeded invention, until no depart
ment of the nrmy nnd navy has been left
unbenefitted. Camps have been trans
formed into cities and tents into houses,
furnished completely from tho contents ol
nn army trunk. In Hampton Roads the
Monitor gave the signal lor a tremendous
revolution in the construction of ships-of-war,
nnd Europe has taken the hint. At
Fort Pulaski the fact was demonstrated
thnt ston.i walls were insufficient protec
tions against our improved ordnance. Eu
rope must learn that lesson olso. And
now to complete tho catulogue of discove
ries, wc havo invented and nro now pre
pnring rnnnon before whose tremendous
powers cveu iron walls will bo useless and
unserviceable. These cannon will inaugu
rate a greater revolution in warfaro than
was ever set n before. By nnd by tho world
will begin to acknowledge that Brother
.loiinilnui knows a thinir or two. and that
ho is no raw apprentice nt tlio irnuc 01
war. Ho has certainly discovered more in
one vcor than nil the rest of tho world in

The dispatches from the East convey in
telligence of the highest importance. While
on this distant coast we have boon qnietly,
though somewhat impatiently, nwaitingtho
restoration of telegraphic communication
the loyal States have passed through t pc
riou or excitement unparalleled since the
great uprising or tho people at the com
mencement or the war. Tho occasion of
this feverish demonstration was the forced
retreat ol Gen. Banks' division from Front
Royal, on the Manassas Gap Railroad, to
the Potomac, ot Williamsport, Marylund.
It appears that it was known early in May
that Jackson was to be reinforced by some
of the best brigades of the rebel army.
Gen. Bunks had then a sufficient force td
hold the enemy in check; but on the 15th,
Shields' and Geary's commands wtre. bv
. . -j
omcbody s blundering order, transferred
to McDowell's Department Cast of the
mountains, leaving Banks with only nbonf
4000 men to defend our conquests in the
Shenandoah Vnll"y. On the very same
day, Jackson effected a junction with the
divisions ol hwcll and hdwnrd Johnson,
nnd proposed to cut off the littlo nrmy
commanded by Banks. The advance of
our force was stationed at Front R-oyal, sO
as to hold the terminus or tho Manassas
Gap Railroad. It consisted or tho First
Maryland Regiment, Kimpps rennsyiva-
nia Battery, and some Vermont cavalry.
Banks was at Strasnurg. Un t ntlny, -.'.Jit
May. the ndvnnced detachment wos sud
denly attacked by nn overwhelming force,
nnd, after a desperate ligh:, either cut np
or captured. The accounts say the rebel
conversed their victory into a massacre,-
and not more than 150 men escaped or the'
900 on our side. As the enemy advanced
Banks was compelled to retreat; and that
retreat was one or the most masterly ex
ploits or tho war. With less than 4000
nnd a train of five hundred wagons to pro'
tect, Banks took immcdinto command of
thp rear gunrJ, and although pursued uy
an enemy nt least lo.uuti strong, nnu re
peatedly'assailed in front, flank, and rear,
succeeded in renching the Totomac, with
but small loss in men nnd the sacrifice of
only fifty out of the five hundred wagons.
Sigel, lumselr, so renowned lor sKiiiul re
treats, could not have performed this diffi
cult movement with more celerity, order,
and success. The announcement 01 these
events created intense excitement through
out the loyal States. The militia wero
called out, and nil available troops were
set in motion toward the Potomac. This
time Maryland shared in the patriotic en
thusiasm." The slaughter of the First Ma
ryland Regiment, and the report of rebel
atrocities toward the sick and wounded,
excited the Bnltimoreans to snch a pitch
that mobs immediately began to hunt down
secessionists. Jeff Davis's fricnJs fared
rather hard. Recruiting offices were opened
nt once. .Maryland is again inoroiigniy
loyal. Under the influence of tho excite
ment, the lower branch of Congress passed
a stringent Confiscation Bill. The public
mind, however, soon recovered its tone.
On tho 21th Mny, Batiks was at WiP
liumsport. On tho 30th, nt the head 01
18,000 men, he was across the Potomac,
chasing the rebel army down the Shcnnn
doah, and capturing stragglers. That day
our advance reached Front Royal. Mcan
time, a portion of McDowell s corps lias
been detached with a view to co-operato
against Jackson's nrmy, and attempt its
capture. Thus, within n few day, the po
sition of n (fairs has bceu entirely reversed
our favor; nnd the grand results of
Jackson's bold movement nro a vast addi
tion to the strength or tho I mon forces,
the destruction or secession in Maryland,
and the intensifying of tho war spirit
throughout the North. In bnel, that will
prove to havo been the most expensive
movement the rebels could have made.
