THE EXPENSES OF THE WAR-It is stated
thai the Secretary of War says he is expend-
ing $l,200,OO0 per day. This amounts to
So, AGO. 900 rer week and 436, 100000 year.
1t is equal TO $4,000 per hour and trihe
over 1888 a minute. The amount of inter.
est on one years expenditure at this rate
will be about $32,ooO,OOO; and the public
debt before this enormous expenditure began
was llO,OOO00O. 1t should be borne in
mind that this is the expenditure of the war
department alone, independent Of the Navy,
the current expenses of the government and
all other expenditures. But if we add the
amount expended by the Secretary of War
for one year to the debt previously contracts
ed the reader will discover that the public
debt at the end of the year will be about
$55O,OOO,OOO. Add to this the expenses of
the Navy, current expenses of the Govern
ment ETC., and the total annual expenditure
will be but little less than 100000, ,OOO-
pleasant prospect, truly, for taxpayers.

The Missouri Unionists.

A member of the 39th Ohio regiment,
writing from Western Missouri, says:
The rebels have all the advantage here in
Missour. Every man you meet, nearly, is a
rebel soldier or spy. They wear no uni
form, and it is impossible to tell them from
citizens OF these latter there are very
few, however The Union men of Missouri
have no spunk. When our army was on
the march from Utica to Lexington, we
found it impossible to get any assistance
from them. They would not act as scouts
or messengers, and would not even tell us
who we're Secessionists in the neighborhood
Set it down that the Union men of Mis-
souri, are not worth fighting for.
The same writer adds:
We are so situated that we have no com
municaton that we can depend upon. We
walk with spies, eat and sleep with spies
they are all around. and about us. We
cannot make movement unless it is imme.
diately reported to our enemies. On the
contrary we get nothing from them. The

them hundred dollars to 90 ten miles to

Missouri, and let secession prey upon the
people of all this land, like grasshoppers

ORoyILLE RAnRoAD.--The Butte Recorx

QRovILLE RAnRoAn.-The Butte Record
SAYS the contractors on the Orovile and
Marysville Railroad are manifesting a de.
termination to have the cars running be-
tween the two places at the earliest possible
moment. The timber for trestlework, cul-
verts, and bridges, is nearly all delivered
along the line, and will very soon be ready
to receive the ties and iron. 1t will require
but short time to complete the grading
from Wallace Ranch Hill into town, when
the ground becomes softened by the Fall

within year, this and the Central road will
be completed, when we shall be in commu.

What the Rebels got by the Capture Of
Lexington,

Gen. Price in his report of the siege and
Capture of the loyal troops at Lexington,
Missouri, gives the following as the results:
"1he visible fruits of this almost boodless
victory are very great-about $500 prison
ers, among whom are Colonels Mul.an,
Marshall, Peabody, White, Grover, Major
Van Horn, and llS other commissioned
officers, five pieces of artillery and two NOR.
tars, 5000 stand of infantry arms, large
number of sahres, about $50 horses, many
sets of cavalry equipments, wagons, teams,
ammunition, more than 100000 worth of
commissary stores, and large amount Of
other property. In addition to all this, l
obtained the restoration of the Great Seal
of the State and the public records, which
had been stolen'from their proper custodian,
and about 100000 in money, which the
bank at this place had been robbed of, and
which have caused to be returned to it.

THE "WoLF ToorH."-We were shown,
Yesterday, small tooth taken out of the
upper jaw of a fine horse, just in front of the
grinder. 1t is called by the above name,
and is not much larger than the tooth of

Immediately over the nerve which connects
with the eye, and if not removed, the horse
losses the sight of that eye. Should there
be tooth upon both sides. the animal would
become perfectly blind unless the teeth were
removed. This is nothing new, perhaps, to
horse men, but there are many who do not
know of the annoyance.

COMBINATION OF CONTRACTORS TO PRo

The "RIp rs."-The oddiiy of this
name now brought frequently into public
notic', has frequently caused inquiry as to its
origin. A contemporary says: In engineer
ing, rip rap is a foundation obtained by
throwing stones together in without order,
or on soft bottom. The fort or battery on
the channel between Fortress Monroe and
Sewell's point is constructed on such an ar
tifiicial foundation, and is therefore styled
the Ripraps. The fortifcation was begun
about twenty years ago. Loose blocks of
granite were piled up to the height of twen'
ty or thirty feet, and permitted to remain for
several years, for the purpose of settling
the foundation. The blocks were taken
down to within few feet of the water line
few years ago, and nothing more has been
done to the fortifcations since.

we are satisfied that the use of such means

With reference to the war, our opinion is
this: 1t was unwse and impolitic to inaugur-

Cr'ttenden compromise, instead of hard
ening their hearts and stiffening their
necks against the South, there would have
been no occasion for it. But, since war is

SUBMARINE SPRING.-Between Ruad and
the coast of Syria the Greeks used to water
their ships at submarine fountain. Anoth.
er has been discovered recently by Mr.. VIM.
A. Booth off the coast of Florida. 1t is a
boiling fresh water spring, twelve miles
North by East from St. Augustine and eight
miles off the Shore The water boils up
with such great force that it can be seen at
distance of two miles. When first seen,
it has the appearance of breaker, and it is
consequently greatly avoided, but there are
five fathoms of water between it and the
shore. Ten fathoms of water are found to
the seaward, but no bottom is found at the
spring itself with thirty fathoms of line.
The water in the spring is fresh and by no
means unpalatable. When the St. John
river is high, this spring bos up from six to
eight feet above the level Of the sea, and it
has been many times reported as a rock with
water breaking over it.
