MORS.- TJUnion National:-', which recently
pretended to have some special information
about the intention of the Fenians to invade
Canada, now professes to tell us the pre?
parations which "aro being made to meet
them. The chiefs of our militia organi?
zations/- it says, '-are at work combining

.in,(iso mon. Troop H will probably be sta?
tioned along the entire frontier; a garrison
will lu> stationed at Laprairie: finally, they
are preparing to give ns a line of troops
from Quebec to Toronto, a guard stronger
and more numerous than that which re?
turned this spring accustomed to the lifo of
a soldier." />' Union Nationale professes to
have this information from an authentic
source. Wc know not how much truth
there may be in the statement, but the
subject is'said to have caused the Govern?
ment some inquietude.
At the same time we have reason to be?
lieve that no such steps as those alleged by
tho Montreal journal had been taken, and
a-< there cannot have been any cabinet
council since, it is difficult to understand
bow any such conclusion as that alleged
could h?ve been arrived at. It is proper to
state, however, that before the arrival of
this statement in L'Union Nationale,there
was a rumor in tho city that the Govern?
ment had resolved to place a guard of
militiamen on the frontier. We cannot
have long to wait to ascertain what truth
there is in tho statement. - Toronto leader.

State Finance*.
Hie question of the ways aud
means to meet the requisitions of the
State Government, in the present
impoverished condition of our people,
is of serious consideration, and will
task the wisdom of the Legislature.
One plan proposed must meet with
favor. Whether it be possible, in
the present state of capital or credit,
to raise the necessary fund in bonds
to be issued by the State, as sug?
gested by the Governor, is not alto?
gether certain. We have little capital
at home to invest in such securities,
and it is questionable whether, undcr
present circumstances, they will at?
tract any from abroad; but, if it be
possible, there is every reason to
commend it.
The policy of using the capital pr
credit of thc State for private objects
is vicious and objectionable, and the
idleness and vice encouraged and en?
gendered in Rome and Athens by
this policy, wen: scarcely compensat?
ed by the adyaantages to citizens for
such expenditure, but between the
use of such an agency to thc dissipa?
tion of a people, and their relief from
the pressure of immediate and tem?
porary distress, there is a wide dis?
tinction, and the act, scarcely too
much to be reprehended in thc one
case, may bc meritorious in the
other.
Nor do we assent to the proposition
that thc burden of debt is, necessarily,
an evil to the State. If there be
States in competition, the one the
most heavily taxed is, necessarily,
at a disadvantage. All else being
equal, there will ?>e the tendency in
men and business to sock the one in
which there is the slightest pressure
in the way of charges. But without
this-and there arc few States in
such equal and comp?titive condi?
tions--the public debt is nor necessa
! rily of disadvantage. It expands
tiie capital of a country. Of Eng?
land, much of the capital is in go?
vernment securities, lt widens the
basis of support for population; thou?
sands there living on the interest of
the public debt, who might not find
the room to live in any department
of pursuit. It furnishes capital most
necessary to the development of en?
terprise/and a form of capital most
suited in its charcter of investment,
and to the wants of a oianufaeturiiig
and commercial community. It is
c msoi vutive of the organization nltd
existence of the State, for it charges
men with a direct and positive inte?
rest in their preservation. It is not
inconsistent with ?thc attainment of
individual wealth, for notwithstand?
ing their extraordinary taxation,
larger fortunes are made in England
than in any other country. It Ls not
inconsistent with a high average of
individual well-being, for, in no coun?
try in the world, have the same rela
ti ve nu raber of people the same secu?
rities {qr subsistence and ? comfort ;
and hence, therefore, while we wouH
not encourage the contraction of a
ptlbKc debt for tL%? ?J*au.Inges simply
to result from it, we would not hesi?
tate to accept it as the condition to
attainment of .any other meritorious
object And if, in this way, the State
can realize the fund to meet its-wants,
and spare the people the grievous
pressure of taxation m the present ex?
hausted state of their resources, and
in doing so shall throw into business
the additional capital to result from
such an operation, we think the re?
sult must be salutary, and that this
is, as we have said, a consideration
to commend it.-Charleston Netes.
MrrcHEXJo's PABTD?G INTERVIEW
WITH JEFF. DAVIS.-Before wholly
dismissing Mitchell, I will briefly
mention his parting interview, yester?
day, with JefE. Davis, and in fact the
story is only a brief one. I only
learned of the interview to-day, from
a gentleman who received the facts
from Mr. Mitchell himself. On the
contrary, when I wrote my letter of
yesterday, I was given to understand
most positively that he was not allow?
ed, before leaving the fort, to see
either Jeff. Davis or Mr. Clay.
' 'I have come to bid you good-bye,"
said Mr. Mitchell to Jeff. Davis, ex?
tending his hand to the latter, who
grasped it warmly, and firmly held it
in his during the brief interview be?
tween them.
"The pleasing news of your resto?
ration to liberty has already been told
me," replica Mr. Davis, "and I con?
gratulate you, now that you are a free
citizen of the world again."
"I hope I shall soon have tho plea?
sure of similarly congratulating you,"
responded Mr. Mitchell.
"I bide my time cheerfully and
hopefully," spoke up Mr. Davis.
"Have you any commands forme?"
asked Mr. Mitchell; "any service that
I can do for you?"
"I only ask to continue you ou my
list of friends who are doing all they
can for me."
"Be assured of my unfailing co?
operation in your behalf."
"I ask nothing more."
1 ' Shall I write your wife anything?"
Mr. Mitchell further asked.
' ' It might be a pleasu re to her, al?
though you know I am allowed pretty
extended freedom now in writing her.
Yes, yes, write her."
" Good-by."
' ' Good-by. "
The two unclasped hands and part?

Mr. Mitchell was minute to my in?
formant, undertaking to give the
exact conversation, which in turn I
have given as minutely as received
from the lips of the latter.
