Far on Third SrREEr.-At an early hour
on Sunday morning the residence of Mrs. Pull
ling, on Third '%street, corner Of Washington,
was destroyed by fire, together with the furai-
tuei 1t contained. Col. W. Coleman owned the
building, which was Insured for six thOusard
dollars. Mrs. Pulling had an insurance on her
furniture Of a thousand dollars. Damage to
the amount Of two thousand dollars was done
to Mr.. Biekford's house next, door; the loss
was covered By Insurance. Strong reasons
exist for believing the FIRE to have been the act
OF an incendiary.

Az UNNECESSARY EKPEEsE.-When the
most necessary thing is urged upon Council IT
is common to deny making the expenditure, on
The ground Of the poverty Of the city treasury.
L would be well II a little "retrsnchment and
reform" was mingled with the sssy system Of
discriminating denial. As an example Of what
Ee mean, we will mention that by a resolution
Of the city council, the chief Of police is re-
CURED to have Duissnees, such az dead cats,
dogs and pigs, etc, removed from the alleys
and streets. For this business the payments
from July 1st 1850 to April lat 1861, have
amounted to hive hundred and two dollars and
forty-fve cents. For the month Of March Just
concluded, one hundred and eight dollars and
forty-fye cents was paid, and this, too, when
tbe city has q street force and thirteen mules
and carts Of Der own. During the last month
over twenty-five dollars per week has been
spent in the dead animal business yet council
have not been able 70 psy ten dollars q week
to keep a gardener in Court Square. V
MILrTART.-YsstsFday was a fine, sunny
day, and the storm OF the previous night had
laid the dust 50 that the parade Of ths military
was made under great advantages. The
Memphis Light Dragons commanded by
Capt. 7. H. Logwood, in their new and dash
ing uniforms, inside an admirable appearance,
which gained for them the cordial attention Of
beauteous women and brave men. They were
accompanied by the stsuben Artillery, under
command OF Capt. Miller, and the Memphis
Light Guards, commanded BY Capt. Genette.
The whole display was highly creditable to The
military sPiritOf Memphis. After the parade
was over, We were favored with q sight OF the
Light Dragons opposite our Office, and gladly
add our voice 10 tie public reclamation.
This was the fret parade OF the Dragons in
their new uniforms, which were striking and
elegant. The officers Of The company are {:

PRorIrs OF TIE CHAm GAEG.-The chain
gang, we have eontended, is a moral injury
leading to an increase OF the number Of erimi-
nails, and that the system Of paradlng men
through the streets with the stamp Of crimi-
nality upon them is odiOus and ought to be
abolished. 1t has been replied to US that the
chain gang is a system that "pays," that the
viciousness Of bad men is turned into a source
Of profit to the city. Oar own expressed con-
viction has been that the contrary is tho case J
that the.city is a regular Lesser by the labors Of
the e~haingaug. Our opinion on this subject
apparently met with an undeniable rsfutation
IN the last official report Of the street commits
.sioneF, In which that officer stated that " the
number Of days labored by the chain gang
during the month COT February was 1913,
which II estimated to be worth 81 a day would
amount to Si25.50 more than the amount Of
board BILL" A very slight analysis Of
the report from which we quote would upset
toe position It appears to establish. At a later
meeting of council the work was completely
performed by a report from the controller, W.
o. Lohand, Esq, showing a loss To- Che city Of
from s1s00fo $1,000 a month from the street
commissioner forces, including the chain-

says that one of the most recent developments
possesses great interest at this time. On Gov

some of which were Of extraordinary size and
weight, which, the secretary, being it is sup

were the guns that it was found a physical
inpossibility TO break them in the ordinary

lathe that they we're destroyed. Several of
them weighed 1000 lbs. each. Six of them
remain unbroken, and theiDepar;ment has or

may be again taken into the service of the

Fzunbering the People.

A correspondent of the New York
Observer says the times o. census TAX
ing have always been times Of trouble
with us:
"The census of 1900 was completed,
I believe, amid the prospects of col
lisions with France. That Of 1910
was followed by difficulties with Eng
land, that soon eliminated in war
The troublesome times of the Mis-
souri, Compromise marked the emu
meration of 1920. In 1880 nulIifica
ton was rearing its defiant head. in
1910 the country was in an abyss of
financial bankruptcy, almost without
a parallel in our history. The COM
promise of 1850 scarcely settled the
tnmult of passion that year, and seces-
sion marked the close of She census
of 1860. Have these condolences no
special meaning ? In view of tho
chastisement of Israel, recorded in I'd
Sam. xiv, and l Chron. xxi, because
David numbered the people, the in.
quiry seems pertinent.

WAsH1NGroS, June 25.-The Times dispatch
says. Fears are entertained OIL towns along
the lower part of the Potomac of a rising o
slaves, and a general stag alton of trade was
manifested.
Charles II. Foster announces himself as an
unconditional Union man from the first district
of North Carolina. In a hand oil dated al
Murfeysboro he notifies the people Of the dis
trict that by law of North Carolina, the Isl
Thursday in August is the day fixed for thC
election of Representatives in Congress, and O.;
that day he invites the electors 10 give him their
suffrages, and cast their ballots without fear OF
| intimidation.
have to-day an explanation Of the reason
| why the rebels resort TO such tricks as that
whereby they captured the captain of a Con
necticut Regiment on Saturday last, and why
they pick off the pickets and capture every
man they can reach. They are gathering all
snch persons end holding them as hostages for
the personal safety of pirates. They intend
to hang an equal number OF prisoners of war
and thus retaliate upon loyal men the pnnish-
ment inflicted by the United States on bucca-
neers.
A gentleman just arrived, having been de-
tanned at Manassas a while, says the troops
there are in perfect frenzy of excitement and
all with whom be conversed spoke freely OF
the meditated attack upon Washington, assert
ing triumphantly that they would be in Wash
! ington before Saturday elght.
He was told that the rebel force consisted of
10000 at Manassas and Fairfax, and 10000 on
the line of the Potomac.
movements on the part of the Government will
doubtless be deferred some time, owing to a
change of programme by the rebel chiefs.
The grand assault upon Washington, about
which they bluster, appears to be abandoned, on
account of IFS making their certain defeat. They
now propose to act entirely on the defensive
but although they are concentrating their forces
in this neighborhood it is not probable that
they will hazard a general engagement any
where, this side of Richmond,
1t is asserted that Wilson's Zouaves have
gone to Fort Pickens but is quite likely they
have gone to Charleston Several other regi-
mcnis about leaving the North will probably
90 there also.
The War Department has received intelli-
gence that Col. Stone has entered Harpers
Ferry, with his command sufficiently strong E.
nough to hold that position.
A return of the rebels was only for the pur-
pose of making the destruction Of the place
complete. Why Gen. Patterson should have
allowed this when he only had to march and
possess the place, is the subject of comment
and surprise in high military circles.
A report reached Washington to night that
| Alexander H. Stephens, vice President of the
so called Confederate States, is dead. The iu-
formation comes through the rebel sources,
hence cannot be traced beyond this point. 1t is
well known he has recently been i'll.
There is the highest authority for contradict
ing the stories about rebels having made peace
propositions to the government. Though some
persons and journals have proiessed to give
somewhat minute details, there is no truth in

War Estimates.

The Journal of Commerce goes in
to some pretty extensive ciphering to
show that the United Sta tes will spend
$20O,O00,00O per annum IN the pres
ent struggle with the revolted States.
The estimate may be right or wrong,
but the eonseq quence to the wealth and
material prosperity of the nation, to
flow from such an amount of expendi-
ture, tire Joprnal ,misaPprehends alto
gether. What if the money be eX'
pended, it is not thereby anpihilated;
It is not Numbered into the air and
dissipated with the smoke of the bat
tie, noEeunk- in the sea. Somebody
gets it. for powder, and ratioas, and
clothing, and munitions of war. No
doubt there is a consumption of cap
ital, but the lneIIin arms would have
consumed capital in their peaceful oc-
cupation, or no occupation, at home; /;
there is no consumption of money in
the business. eMany, would baveeon-
sumed moro value at home than they
will in the army. Bonbons and cham
pagne, and the delicacies of the cpl
cure, are more costly than bread and
water and salt beef and a bottle of
champagne will. purchase several
quarts Of whisky, without giving so
much or such extensive satisfaction.
1t is doubtful whether the consump-
ton Of provisions in the army, in
point of cost, is greater in he-aggrn-
gate than the same number of men
would have consumed at home ). and
as to clothing, the difference may not
be material. The waste of war to a
nation is much over-estimated /: for
the consumption of capital is always
proceeding at a rapid. pace, even in
the most peaceful times, and is a nec-
essary element of prosperity. with
out consumption there would be no
production, and the nation prospers
not by consuming less but by produ-
cling more.
The only essential waste of var
except in a somewhat earlier GcStruc-
sioMa6f life, IS in, the diversions of Ia
l3S fron productive &c unprot;ucliFe
consumption &..3 licre the question
arises, what portion oi-the aruIy Were
producers at home? That a. large
portion were non-producers is certain.
All these non-producers must have
been supported in peace out of the
capital they are now con ming with

war IL their case. We K zen have
exceeded the demand for labor in sew

The Washington correspondents of the
New York World and Tribune, telegraphed
to those papers few days since the alleged
details of propositions fOE compromise sub
mitted by Commissioners then IN Washing
ton, sent thithsr BY JEFF Davis. The intelli-
gence was, as usual with their unfsunded SEN
satSoa. dispatches, declared to be authentic,
and obtained from reliable sources" They
represented that two propositions bad been
submItfed-One of which proposed to suspend
h@tilities, and permit the rebels to continue
their Government for a limited time as an ex-
pertinent, amer which they we're to return to
allegiance on certain specified conditions the
other proposition amounting in substance to
the Grittendeh plan. The whole affair is
spoiled, however, by subsequent dispatches
pronouncing the statements alluded to wholly
unfounded. 1t is manifest that the rebel lead
ers are conscious that they have staked their
all on the issue, and are determined to fght
as long as the people of their region will sus-
tain them, their aim being the utter over
throw of our Government, which is necessary
for the success of theirs. In is also clearly
manifest that if the sentiment of the people
| of the loyal States is regarded, our Govern
meut will only listen to propositions to CEASE
hostiliiies when the rebellion is thoroughly
crushed. the people Of the seeded States re-
turn to their allegiance, and the prOminent
traitors who have led in the movement are
summarily dealt with Or driven from the eoun
| try.
