I As some criticism has been made in re gard to Mr. Sumner's statement of the con dition of the ancient Britons, we make the following verbatim extract from his lecture on that point. If his, critics will read the authorities to which he refer. they will learn that - 'X J - - "A little learning intoxicates the brain, : , But drinking lary;ely sobers us again. ' , ORIGINAL DEOBiDATlON OP EKOLAND. Europe had her dark ages when there was a night with "darkness visible," and there was an earlier period in the history of each nation when man was not less sav age than now in the very heart of Africa; but the European has emerged, and at last stands in a world of light. Take any of the nations whose development belongs to mod ern times, and the original degradation can he exhibited in authentic colors. There is England,5 whose f present civilization is in many respects so finished; but when the conquering CsesaV only fifty-five years be lore the birth of Cnrist, landed ron the un known island, her people rwere painted sav ages, with a cruel religion and a conjugal system which,. was on incestuous concubin age. His authentic report places ' this con ditioh beyond question, and this knowing her original degradation and her ) present transformation after eighteen centuries, we have the terms for a qyestion iu the rule of. threc. Given orignal degradation and pres ent transformation, ofj England, how Jong will it take for :the degradation ot other 1 lands tot experience the same transforma tion 1 Add also present agencies of civili zation to vfhich Englahd'was was for centu- rici a stranger, v -" -X'"--" -- This instance is so important as to Justify details) When Britain was first revealed to the commercial enterprise ofTjre, her peo ple,' according to M.icaulay, were "little-superior to tho n ! of the -( Sandwich is Jieef bbl. I4oooooo twenty years, festering with spittle, vomit, of the flotilla; 'For four days two young sept 15 lands."' The hUtorian must rhcan "when those islands were first discovered by Cap tain Cook ;Pritchard,pur best! authority, supposes tlicm "nearly on a level,, with the New Zcalandcrs or TahitiansvTor perhaps hpt yery superior to the Australians," which is very low indeed. There was but little change, if any, when I they became known to the Komans. They are pictured as large and tall, excelling the Gauls in stature and, eirengiu, wnn neavy ieatures ana ciumsy figures, and, according r to thd geographer Strabo, "they did not - stand firm on their legs." Northward were the Picts and Scots, also Britons, tattooing their bodies, dwel ling in tents; savage in manners, and with a moral degradation kindred to that of the Southern .Britons ; Across the Channel were the Irish, whose reported condition was even more terrible, i According to Caesar, most, in the interior 6f. Britain never sowed corn, but lived cn milk and flesh, and were clad in untanned skins ; but he notes that all colored their bodies with a cerulean pigment, "making them more horrid to the sight in battle," andlbe then relates that societies ot ten or twelve, brothers and fath ers, parents and children, had wived in com mon. Their religious observances were such as become this savage life. Here was the sanctuary of the Druids? whose absolute ana peculiar power was sustained by inhu man rites. On rude but terrible altars, in the gloom of the forest, human victims were sacrificed, while irom the blood, as it cours ed from under the knife of the priest, there was a divination of ; future events. There was no industry or production except slaves too illiterate for the Roman market. -Imagination pictured strange things. One pro vince was reported where the ground was covered with serpents, and the air was such that no man could inhale it and live. In the polite circles of the empire, the whole region excited a fearful horror, which has I been aptly likened to that of the early Ion- ians for the Straits of Scylla or the city 6f I the Leestrygonian cannibals. The historian records with a sigh that no magnificent re- i mains ot, Latin porches and aaueducts are to be found here that no writer of British birth is reckoned amonj the masters of Lat in poetry and eloquence. '" i Ana this was England at the beciniDg. Long afterwards, when centuries had inter vened, the savage was 1 improved into the barbarian.- But from one authentic instance learn the rest. ; The trade in slaves was ac tive, thegEnglish peddlers bought up chil dren throughout the country, while the peo ple, greedy of the price, sold their gelations, sometimes their own offspring. In similar barbarism, all Jews and their gains were absolute property of their king; and this law, begining with. Ed ward the Confessor, was enforced under successive moDarchs one of them making a mortgage of all Jews to ms Drotner as security lor a debt. . JNoth- ing worse is now said of Africa. ' Progress was slow. When, in 14o0, the Italian iEneas Sylvius, afterwards Pope Pius II., visited this island, Jt was to his eyes the most forlorn; Houses in cities were of stones without mortar. had no other door than a stiffened bullhidc. Food was coarse. Bread was such a rarity among the people as to be a curiosity, vwo- mcn "giggled" at the sight of it. When afterwards, under Henry VIII., , civilization had.o.egun, the condition of the people was deplorable. There was no such thing among them as comlort, while plague and death sweats prevailed. The learned and mgeni- our Erasmus, who was an honored guest in Eqglandat this .time, refers much to the filthinessbf the houses. The floors !he de scribes as commonly of clay, strewn with this eminent observer. The traveller from the interior of Africa would hardly make a worse report. v ouch was England. But this story of. savagery and barbarism is not peculiar to this country. I might take other countries, one by one, and exhibit the original degra dation and present elevation. I might take France. I content myself with one instance only. An authentic incident of Frcneh his tory recorded by a contemporary witness, anu associated wim iamous names in tne last century, shows the little recognition at that time of a common humanity. And this story concerns a lady, remarkable among her sex forvarioustalents, and especially as a mathematician, and the French translator of Newton, Madame du Chatalet. This great lady, the friend of Voltaire, found no difficulty in undressing before the men-ser vants of her household, not considering it well proved that such persons were of the human family. This curious revelation of manners, which arrested the attention of De Tocquevillem his remarkable studies on the origin of the 'French Revolution (Ancien I Ucaime, p. lUb); it reported from Africa. tt would be recognized as markmsr a most perverse barbarism. The Cost of the War. Commisaianer Wells, in his report present ed, to Congress, gives an estimate of the cost of the late war. The Government spent in war. expenses and expenses growing out ot the war, down to June 30th, 186i, $4,- 171,U14,4'JS. This excludes what, the ad ministration would .have, cost had there been no war, and may be called the net cost to the . Government of the rebellion'. To this, however, must be added a number of items, which Mr. Wells gives thus : 4t Pen sions, capitalized, at eightT years' purchase, $200,000,000; increase of State debts, main ly on war account, $186,000,000 county, city and town indebtedness, increased on account of the war, (estimated) $300,000,- uuu ; expenditures oi states, counties, cities and towns on account of the war, not rep- resenreu oy iunueu ueot, esiimaieaj $ UUU, 000,000 ; estimated loss to the loyal - States from the diversion and suspension of in dustry, arid the reduction of the American marineand carrying ftrade, $1,200,000,000 estimated direct expenditures and loss of property by the Confederate States bv rea son of the war, $3,700,000,000." This makes a total- ot loss by the war to the whole country of -nine thousand millions of dol lars. Says the Commissioner: "This, then, was the cost of the destruction of slavery the cost of compromisethe cost-of the un f'aithf ulne of those who founded this na tion to the idea by which the nation lives. What does it measure ? , It is substantially a thousand millions a year for nine years; or, at the wages of five hundred dollars a year, the labor of two millions of men exerted continuously during the whole of that pe riod. It is five times as much as the slave property of the country was ever worth. It is a sum which at interest' would yield to the end of time twice as much as the annual slave product of the South in its best es tate.'? t To which the New York Post addal "We spent and wasted In the war money enough to build - ninety Darien ship canals, or to build a hundred Pacific railroads, or nine times as much as would double track cyry railroad in the United States."
