M. Magne, t.lio Minister of Finance, in his Knot report to the French Parlia ment, states the actual coat of waging the war at $500,000,000, and the loss of revenno in 1870. ’71, ’72 and ’73, caused bj the war, nt $250,000,000. The nation al drbt luu been increased since July, 1870, much more than tho German in demnity and the cost of resistance, 1 ■*- cause tbo money had to be raised by tho sale of bonds nt ft beavy discount. Tlio Kinds now form a part of the national debt, and draw 5 per cent interest. Tho money was onTAI'.’I’.II IN TBS FOLLOWINO MANNER: Tho first $150,000,000, subscribed for at tho outbreak of tho war, sold for near ly par. The next wns tlio Morgan loan, of } 100,000.000, negotiated in England, when tlio Gormans had crushed the French into tho dust. It sold for loss than 80 per cent, and is costing 7 -1-10 per cent on the money realized. The $1,000,000,000, German fine was raised hy two national subscription-!, wliich real ized about 83 percent' on the money re ceived. Then thoro woro several loans from TIIK 1IANK OF FRANCK, aggregating $300,000,000, at 1 per cent., to bo repaid in installments, or annuities, of $10,000,000 per annum. Tho reason for obtaining this immense loon from the Lank nt ho low a rate of interest should bo explained. Tlio Government first authorized the hank to suspend spocio payments ; second, to increase its notes to the nuiount of the loan; third, tho notes were made a legal tender, receiva ble hy tlio Government for nil taxes and dutux, and a legal tender for tho pay ment of debts of all kinds.. In con sideration of those extraordinary privi leges, tlio hank agreed to cliorgo tho Government only 1 per cent, interest on the note* loaned to it, to be repaid, as above stated, in something less than right year*. lleforo tlio war, tho Bonk of Franco had $325,000,000 to $350,000,000 of notes in circulation, a)id held in -its vanlts $225,000,000 to $2S0,000,000 of coin for their redemption. The bank now has $1 Id.OOO.OOO of coin on hand, and $(100,- 000,000 of notes in circulation. The amount varies more or loss. Tho maxi mum issue of notes is $010,000.000, so that the full quantity permitted by law is net nt this time in circulation. I believe tliero is a stipulation that, as fast the Government repays its loan to tho lank, a like amount of notes shall be tucclcd; nnd, as tho Government has re funded to the bonk tho first “annuity” of $10,000,000, I suppose that neeonnts for the apparent contraction of a like amount below tho maximum limit. The money borrowed to extinguish the German line, and to defray the expenses of the war, and loss of revenue, amounted to $1,85(1,000,000. But os the bonds sold, on which tho money was procured, only realised an average of S5 per cent, of their face, the addition to the bonded debt of France «s several hundred mill ions more than that sum. As nearly os I can find out, tho INCRKASK OF THE DEBT 5* as follows: Ki nds sell ztattr.i.v of sr. percent tonal* imounl of German ttna-JI.ess.nnMk*' Kormwi ,i Iran Bank of PnuKfc 3d«,(x«i.ooo Kirnds i-O.i Imlrfmv warexpenzo sail loss ut rew Iiuc..:. a(fi000.00# ■anous nations of Ahe world; that is, j hey put their mofiey out on interest vhere they can get the best security and ! highest rate of usance. The French loan ’ abroad comparatively little of their sur- I pins capital! The national tendency is I to invest it at home or hoard it. I think it has now been explained how : (the French were able to spare nearly l $1 ,100,000,1 «X) in coin to pay off the Ger- j man fine in two-and-a-hnlf years, with out impoverishment, or even Serious in convenience. Bismarck thought he had | inflicted a wound an France that would weaken and enfi-cblo her for desel ' ! > come. But the blow HAS NOT rnODCCED ~ , the anticipated fatal effects. The money of j Is paid; the territory is liberated. France rich theie was a suspicion, but of the | !s free, powerful, and burning for re- er the holders are willing to accept for them. They draw 5 pt r cent, interest, and were sold to the highest bidders, and realized ait round about &3 per cent.— beginning at 80 and advancing to CHi lie- fore the loans were closed. Fourth—The whole subscription wns tutor* by fit * W9 W FAEIZZW, 0!OFXZErEltS. in HABKJBS. tho latter purchasing on speculation" for a rise’, nnd then reselling to the farmer,. The great bulk of these Rentes have found their way into the pockets of the French farmers. It was found, when the temptation was placed befero them, that nearly every farmer in France had a se cret hoard of £old "Xapoleons" and 5 fame allver coia*. of ilia don. The French system produces 5,000,- 000; ia lepcodsnK. prosperivug yaomta. every one owning the farm he cultivates, who cun take his rest under his own shade tree, and oat the grapes and drink the wine of his own production; un i, when hiz country is in trouble, lie lias a son willing to tight for it, and a bag of gold which he cun spare and is willing to con tribute towards the co t of the war. Now, which is the better system for the riifihha) good, in iimo of peace or in time of - ■ 1 ■ - ' - -i. ST. - . is.•. r ill,. .M.i .42.1s1.1n t ih.'jwnannually i'l.m* It is shown that there h:is been added to tlio previous debt of France a sum equal to tho present national debt of tlk' United States. The six mouths’ w.vr With Germany resulted in doubling th national debt, adding nearly $100,000,000 »year to tlio public taxes forever, and the lo;.. of two line provinces, containin UOaOOp inhabitants; yet Franco has withztooil those enonnonB hwse*. and re. covered her strength with a rebound that it ASTONISlUNO TO OONTKMl'LATE. It is quite true that tho cost of the *ZT, aside from the Gorman confiscation, Was expended within France, and is not 'ost to the capital of the nation, except to tho extent that it represents property consumed and destroyed by the war. But the German fine, levied on tho nation (*nd on Paris), amounting, with interest, to nearly $1*100,000,000. had to be raised and sent out of the country. As the whole gold and silver coin in circulation in France, at the time of the conclusion of the war, wax supposed not to exceed StXXMXXXOOO. lira little more than half the indemnity, haw was Franco able to land over to Germany, in two years and * half, $1,070,000,000 in coin ; for it was Paid in solid gold, every franc of it ? I ‘hall try and explain ROW Tltn FEAT WAS ACCOIWISI! Kl*. In the first place—When the Govern ment borrowod from the Bank of France tJOfiOOO.OOO, and authorized tho bonk to “sue a like amount of note9 in addition to its former circulation, it liberated from circulation an equal amount of coin which ^ns no longer required for the transac tion of business, ns the new notes perform its functions. Second—Tho Government not only niade the notes of tho bank a legal-tender *°r rieryihiiuj, including interest on the {JJtional debt, nnd for duties on imports, ‘'/'■‘‘Authorized the bank to enspeihl spe- rie payments. The effect of this first *et wto enable the hank to part with half its usual stock of coin and bullion, Hfid this set at liberty $150,000,000 more 8°ld and silver. Here, then, was a double fund of spe- ' 0, amounting to $•450,000,000, which '"ul l bo spared without deranging the aan.-os of tho nation, and sufficient to ' Itinguisli more than forty per cent, of and interact thereon. Hurd—The money was procured by l-UBMC SUBHCBimONB, ,!!. lffo 'cans of about $5-10,000,000 «ieh. t-.uils issutsl are railed rentes. In fact or amount little was known. The common people of France rarely deposit their money in savings-banks or any where else except in an earthen crock in the ground. But every Frenchman, no matter what hie politics or religiiaz— whether he be a Royalist, a Republican, or a Communist; a Catholic, a Protest ant ora Skeptic—has absolute confidence in the solvency of his Government, and is willing to loan his last franc, shirt, or pair of subote. The subscriptions for tho national loan to liberate France from the occupation of the hated and abhorred I/AUemagne (German) amounted to FOUR OR FIVE TIMES tho sum required; and, at all places whero tho looks were opened to receive projsvsaK for routes, therd were great crowds, much excitement and contention, and a scrambling rush first to reach tho 1 looks, For twenty-four hours in advance of the time for opening them, long lines of women hel<i their places, regardless of rain or heat, wind or weather, and impa tiently waited for tho signal for the pro cession to movo upon the book* and make their offerings of so many hundred or thousand francs each; for, in making those subscriptions, the women managed tho business, as they do pretty much every other business in France—tho men standing helplessly idle, and watching their spouses with that footing which the’ INFERIOR HAS FOR THE SDI'ERIOS. Fifth—It was demonstrated by tho re sult of tho offerings, and the facta that came to light, that tho French farmers alone had more gold nnd silver hoardod away and secreted in unknown spots than wonld suffice to discharge the whole Ger- nmu fine anil tho cost of the war besides. It had long been a mystery what hnd be come of the steady stream of tho precious metals which, for tho Lost fifty or sixty years, had poured into France. Some said tlioy hod been re-exported in the shape of jewelry, gilding, and ornaments; and others bad magnified the amount of coin in circulation and in the banks. But the truth Is, tlio French peasantry, and shop keepers and mechanics had hoarded it hy the hundreds, ana perhaps thousands, of millious. Tlio women of France hold the purso-Htrings. They nro sharp and eco nomical beyond American conception, in dustrious to a degree of which American women hare no idea, close, saving, stingy, and acquisitive. Slowly, day hy day, month hy month, and year hy year, the little siuplus Eavinjjw and self-denials of each good dame and her family go on ac cumulating and increasing, and aro care fully converted into tho indestructible precious metals, ami BURIED IN THE OROUND, or hid in tho wall of tho cottage, and kept th^ro with all the sccretivcness of Free Masonry. Only on occasions of marriages or purchase of land is any part of those hoards ever touched. For the former, a certain amount comes forth from its hiding placo to pay tho stipu lated marriage dowry of tho daughter of fortune given tho son; and then tho money only sees the daylight for a day, for tho now owners instantly lay it away, and begin the labor of married life to earn money, save it, and add to tho pat rimonial hoards. Sixth—France is the MOST 8KLV-8UITORTINO NATION in Europe or tho world. Her exports al ways exceed her imports largely, and this balance is exacted in tho precious metals, and not in raw materials, as in Great Britain. Paris is tlio fashionable capi tal of the world, the Empress of fomalc- dotn; anil to her slirino they come or send their offerings from all the nations of tho earth. Paris sets the fashions and changes them at pleasure, and as often as the changes of the moon or tho direc tion of the winds. All that is costly, useless, flimsy and flaming in tho female wardrobe and toilet, is manufactured in France, and sold in Paris to tho woidd's butterflies; while the fop element of the masculine persuasion are also provided with thoir stunning styles of dress by tho French j and the whole champagne-drink ing fraternity purchase their costly car bonic acid and cider in France. France imports NO J1RKADSTUFFS OR MEATS. except a little at long intervals when her crops aro short, as happens to bo the case this year; hut nearly always she has n surplus of wheat, beef and mutton, which is exported across the channel to Eng land, whero it finds a ready market at high prices. Franco imports less sugar or molasses than she exports, except from her own colonies. She produces enor mous quantities of sugar and molasses from the beet-root—enough for domestic consumption, and n surplus to export. France imports no silk, except iu the raw state, and produces most of the raw ma terial within her own borders, and then manufactures it into a thousand forms of fabrics and tissues, and sells $100,000,000 or $200,000,000 worth of it to all tho fe males of the world, after supplying her own very moderate and sparing #onsump- tion. France manufactures the great hulk of her own iron, and nearly every thing made therefrom in tho form of steel nnd iron implements, railroad tracks, engines, ships, etc. AVhilo the coal-measures of France are scant, she manages to avoid importation from Eng land to any great extent. The domestic fuel of Franco is wood, burned with an economy that makes one shiver on a cold day. Tree, are AS CARXrULLT TLANTED AND GROWN in France as beets or wheat, or any other product. France grows nearly all the wool required for domestic consumption and export, in the shape of cloths, except certain coarse varieties used to mix with the native fine fleeces, and purchased cheaply in Australia and South America, in exchange for gimcracks and toilet ar ticles. The French produce their own liquors —wines and brandy—and export tens of millions of dollars' worth to other na tions. (They drink no whisky and hut little beer; they call the former Amer ican poison and the latter nasty German soup, and neither of them fit for the hu man stomach.) The skin of every boast and four- footed animal is converted into leather. They utilize tho hides of all the horses, asses, mules, cattle, calves, deer, sheep, lambs, goat*, kids, HOGS, DOGS, CATS, RATS, foxes, wolves, rabbits and other animals, wild or domestic, and sell the products to aH the world in the shape of French calf and kid boots and^hoes and morocco wear and gloves by the million gross. They make sparing use of these articles for themselves, but wear wooden shoes, more genetmUy than anything else, through the rural districts and among thepooror classes of the cities and towns. Thy imports of France consist almost wholly of raw materials, purchased to bo con verted into fabrics, mainly for exporta tion abroad, except tobacco, which is a government monopoly, and is sold at an enormous profit, whereby a very large revenue is derived. The chief articles of import are raw cotton from America and cotton-yarn from England, raw and floss silk, wool, timber, coal, coffee, tea and tobacco. Situations as Teachers ■nrjCiIF.1 _ The pride of the nation has been chastened; egotism lias received a I terrible fall; vanity has been pricked; I and Franne now comprehends licr own j strength and .resource* without blind | exaggeration, and those of her enemy without stupidly underrating them. Eveiy dollar of the debt of France, which now exceeds that of Great Britain, ft held at home in the liaml3 of her own I citizens. Tho rentes are diffused all over j .the nation. Almost every farmer own- j some of them, and hoards them with the | same tenacity with which ho clings to hi; gold Napol -on3. The “Morgan loan” of ?liiu,CWi,'»v, taken hy the English to help the French out of their troubles, lias all been bought up, and is now held in France. It is true tho war has increased taxes hy 25 per cent, and diminished revenue in tho pro portion the two captured provinces of Alsace and Lorraine bore to the whole nation; but this loss can be borne. Be fore tho war, the necessary revenue of Franco wero something loss than $300,- 000,000 per annum; the taxes now pro duce $370,000,000, and there is still a de ficiency of nearly $36,000,000. to bo pro vided by additional taxes. Onc-half of the total revenue is required to pay in terest on the enormous debt; but, as the rentes are owned and held by most of the tax-payors, it is much the same as taking money out of one pocket and putting it into the other. One would suppose that, witlvthis ad dition of nearly $100,(100,000 a year fr> the annual budget, the French Administra tion WOULD INAUGURATE ECONOMY; retrench at every point by cutting off thousands of sinecure oflioes. discharging surplus employes, and, nhove all, hy re ducing the army to a peaoo-footing. But nothing of the kind has been done or proposed. There are on the pay-rolls of the army to-day more than 500,000 armed men, stationed iii garrisons all over France and Algeria, of whom 30,000 gar rison Paris, and 05,000Aro-kept in Alge ria. Tbo cost of tho War Department for 1873 will bo $00,000,000, and of the Navy Department $31,000,000—making together $121,000,000 os the cost of the standing army and navy in time of. pro found peace. T1IE PRUSSIAN* MILITARY SYSTEM has boon adopted, -to make oyery man over 20 years of age serve'four years in the active army; their they are sent to tho reserve of tho active army for five years; then to tho territorial army for fivo years ; then into the reserve of the territorial army for six years longer—ma king twenty years aefivo or passive ser vice. No substitutes arc now recepted, and no bounty is paid, Tho object is to liavo every man in Franco over .5 foot high, and fit for service, between ,tbo ages of £0 and -To, on the army-rolls as disciplined soldiers, ready for offensive or defensive operations.

One thought seems to nni- mate tho.entire population: to CONQUER HACK ALSACE AND LORRAINE, the next time they go to war with Ger many, and peradventure to recover the in demnity extorted from them, with inter est theron. It is doubtful if there is a French man or woman,- hoy or girl, now living in Franco, hut expects and believes that tho lost provinces will eventually be recovered—most be recovered at all haz ards.

This is exclusive of the profits made on goods sold at retail to the multitudes of foreigners, including Americans, who swarm over France, and the profits mode on commerce which the worthless officers have been waeded out j a stricter discipline has been introduced; and the muster rolls no longer bear the names of fictitious soldiers, with ^official bummers drawing pay and rations for those imaginary warriors, as was the case under the late Empire. The German system of tactics nnd combinations is be ing carefully studied by the light of their late disastrous experience. Tho National Guard of Paris is disbanded, and the whole population disarmed, so that there •may be no future firo-in-tbe-rear. frotjt. tho unshot members of the bite Commune organization, wliich pillaged Paris and burnt a part of it. Tn short, everything is being done which seems possible to arm, discipline, and prepare the nation lifttpri ' ' ^ jj /IJl > NEXT STECGGIE WITH THE GERMANS, for the recovery of’ the dismembered provinces. The French say that Bismarck and Holtke, and other great leaders, will die before long, as they are old men; and that Germany will enter ujion tho next war inflated with" vanity nnd pride, half- prepared and half-marshaled, as Franco was in 1S70, which will result in a scries of defeats and humiliations. This may or may nor be the case: but one thing is certain, that tho fighting witnessed dor-: ing the late war was MERE CHILD'S PLAY compared with tho fighting that will bo done in. tlio next war by France, who will enter upon it with the fires of a volcano burning in her breast. All that rage and hatred added to valor and discipline, can accomplish, will bo achieved. If France is beaten next time, it will Be’ in despite of tho most careful and perfect prepara tion, and after her mightiest efforts have been exhausted. I have spoken of the wonderful ease with which the people of France raised the money to liquidate the German “in demnity,” and given some explanations thereof; but there remains one reason not yet named, which should not be omitted. The bulk of the money was contributed by the Frencli farmers, and they were able to subscribe it because THEY OWNED THE LAND they cultivate, and pay no rents to a landed aristocracy, such as that which monopolizes tlio land of Great Britain and Ireland. The money which the British and Irish fanners have to pay to the land lords, the French hold in their possession, and were able to loan it to .the Govern ment in the day of need.

Has tlie following Powerful Recommendations for Planters It is a genuine English made STannre. the only one in tho market, and manu factured by a company having a capital of $1,250,000, which sells 40,000 tons annu ally, and lias the most eitensive works of tlie kind in Great Britain, which have been in operation 24 years. The Lancdale, therefore, has a irood pedigree and is no experiment. It contains a larger proportion of chemical elements suited for the promotion of vegetable life, and especially of Qotton, than any other fertilizer offered in tfie South. It is the best and safest Cotton Manure in the market. The analysis given with the Manure when sold will be guaranteed. There shall he no mistake about the genuineness of the article, nor tho good faith of the vendors. It is the? cheapest Manure offered, as it contains nothing but what is of use ill becoming filant-food, or by chemical action on the soil, producing the same. The test of cheapness is not tho price, but tho actual worth of the article purchased. Low-priced Manure*; cannot Contain efficient quantities of pure nnd valuable chemi cals, which can alone give woith to a fertilizer, and bring satisfactory results. The Lnngdale is as low in price as is consistent with tho uso of tho best ingredients, and a fair commercial profit on its cost. The employment of powerful machinery in mixing and pulverizing the ingre dients prepares every particle for service, and prevents trouble in using. Tho Lang- dalc is unequalled in this respeet, and impresses every one who sees it ivs a perfectly manipulated Manuro. In its composition and preparation it is the result of careful scientific research and.experimeut, confirmed hy practical application; for a quarter of a century. It will be maintained at its present high standard, and is thus what planters have ‘eng wanted—a thoroughly reliable and safe Manure. THE MODEL MANURE AND PLANTER’S FRIEND.
