The Richmond Bsa,niaer, Of the Path, says the
number Of sick soldiers in the HOSPITALS public and
private, in Richmond, is ascersained to be, at pre-
sent, somewhat over 1890. Within the PsEt few
days there had been decided improvement in the
health Of the inmates, and most Of them are now
reported convlescent Rhe sick soldier list Of the

BIBLES AND TRACTS.

The Richmond KzGminsr learns that some Of the
religious sects Of the South are contemplating and
concentrating measures to found an Evangelical
Public Society ia Richmond, with particular refer
ence to the distribution of the scriptures and tracts
In the army. The supplies of tracts, prayer-books
and bibles have been nearly cut of by the war. In
these circumstances the idea, referred to above is
timely, appropriate, and in all respects worthy of
commentator, and especially Of the encouragement
and aid of the press.

The Richmond Examiner says the late appoint.
msnt of General SMITH is understood to be in the
provisional army although he VIII take rank
with BEArR4GGRD in the division of the army on
the Potomac The appointments of HGeneraIs7 in
the Confederate army are full, having reached
the limitation Of five general officers. provided by
existing laws of the Confederate States. The diss
tinction between the Privisisnal and Confederate,
or regular organizations is that the former expires
with the termiaaton Of the war. There is scarcely
any distinction in the corps of the two armies the
Confederate organization being little more than q
skeleton of appointments of regular officers, which
may serve for the organization of a standing army
at the close of the war.

Tn his admirable speech before the Vir-

Commissioners from Georgia, thoroughly
exploded the silly invention that the South
intends or desires revival of the African
slave trade. He said that ii such = trade

it would end, and that tho Cotton States

seriously Nevertheless the writer insists
upon it that the new tariff should pass, and
declares that if the weight of any great
foreign Government is to be thrown into
the scale against the North, and encour-

an additional and stronger reason for
maturing system of policy that will af-
ford the encouragement and protection
which are SO much needed.
