MISPLACED CONFERENCE.-THE Memphis
Appeal on the 18th OF May, made an elaborate
calculation of the military strength of the Sou
thern States, which led it to the very comforta-
bic conclusion that, within 30 days they would
have in the field and effective army of 500 900
men, "as removed for their courage as invinci-
BILE in their purpose" Just about, judging
from the results. The Appeal further predicts
that "this army will fall upon the invaders in
two or three columns, drive them from the
Confederacy, and thence proceed to precipitate
itself into the very vitals Of the North, carry
ing fire and sword into the country of the enc
my" About ten days after this prediction,
Memphis itself was evacuated.

EXPENDITURES AND TBE PUBLIC DEBT.-ln
answer 90 the many exaggerated assertions
as to She amount of the public debt and ihe
current expenditures Of the Government.
Mr.. Dawes recently made statement ~
the House of Representatives showing the
expenditures Of all the departments, from
the 4th of March, 1861, when The present
Administration came into power, to the 22d
of May, 1862. The figures we're derived
from official sources:
For the Interior Department Indians and
Pensions, to the 22d Of May, $3y6Sl 800; Civil
List, Foreign Intercourse and Miscellaneous,
S2I ,685 ,0l0; making a total Of nearly $Z3.36b,-
900. The expenditures ofthe War Department
during that time amounted to S374, l72,OOO,
and the Navy during the same time to S42 ,O55,-
900, or a total Of $4l6,227 900 The average
daily expenditures in the War Department
have been 1897 ,295, and those OF the Navy
300, ,S52, making the average in both depart
ments $99S,l47. No acquisitions are unpaid
excepting Of few thousand dollars for illegality
or disloyaty. The payments last Thursday were
only 1885,, ,9l7, yet the day after, when the pay
masters came in the expenditures were 81, ,OOO,-
900; but on Saturday only $500 900. So the
expenditures Of the Government up to the 22d
of May last, in round numbers, were-for the
military, 1914 4,000,0 900; navy, 42,0OO,OO0; all
other expenditures, $25,000,000 "a total of
SAL ,00O,O 900. From the 4th of March, 1861
till the 22d of May, the public debt, including
$40, 900 900 old debt beQueathed by Buchanan,
amounted in the aggregate on Friday last to
$4Sl, ,796, las.

POPULATION AND COMMERCE OF JEDDo.-
A very erroneous idea is INDUCED in by many
people in relation to the largest city in the
world, many confidently asserting that London,
or, as it is frequently termed, the Great Me-
tropolis, is far superior both in size and num-
Der of inhabitants. But such is not the case,
Jeddo, the ccpital of Japan, is without excep-
ton, the largest and most populous city in the
world. 1t contains the vast number of $780,
900 dwellings, and 100000 Of human souls.
Many of the streets are 10 Japaneserls in
length, which is equivalent to % English miles.
The commerce of Jeddo far exceeds that of any
other city in the world, and the sea along its
coast is constantly white with the sails Of ships.
"Their vessels sail to the southern portion Of
the empire, where they are laden with rice, tea,
seacoal, tobacco, silk, cotton, and tropical
fruits, all of which find ready market in the
north, and then return freighted with corn, salt,
oil, isinglass, and various other productions Of
the north which have market in the SOUTH"

Bro EMGRATION.-A letter dated Des
Moines, Iowa, May l4th, says The tide of a
most immense emigration westward continues
to pour steadily through our streets. Day af-
ter day, and for week after week, we have had
a constant succession of the long emigrant
trains, toiling slowly and patiently in the di-
rection of the distant West. A very large ma
jority of this emigration is going to California
the balance to Colorado, Oregon and the
newly discovered gold mines on the Salmon
liyer.

The NORTHERN MONsTERs.-The theory
that the Northern soldiers are monsters Is
not yet given up by the Richmond papers.
In the same page in which the Dispatch
prints an accoHnt of the humene treatment
of the rebel wounded, by our soldiers al
Williamsburg, it says, of the soldiers of
Banks division:
Some Of the drunken stragglers shot hogs,
sheep and other stock on the route, and, selec-
ting fine joint, leave the carcass on the high
way. Poultry was wantonly slaughtered in the
farm yard and eaten raw. 1t is asserted, and
has been proven by an eyewitness, that even
the dogs, cats and rats encountered on the
march Of this horde, were killed and eaten with
a voraciousness that betokened starvation.
Indeed, they had no Commissary, and it is be-
lieved that their conduct was attributed to di-
rections from their officers.
This trash is intended as mental food for
the ignorant and deluded followers Of the
rebel standard. The Dispatch is the only
paper which the rebel soldiers about Rich.
mOnd are permitted TO read.

"THE AMERICAN STATEsMAN."-We have
hastily glanced over work entitled as
above, which gives complete, though nee
ossarily brief, political history of the United
States. from the settlement Of The Colonies
down to Buchanaus Administration. The
author is Mr.. Andrew W. Young, poIltl-
cal writer of some note, and we believe 1t
ia the first work of the kind ever published
The author describes the governments ol
the several Colonies while subject to Great
Britain; the government of the old Confed
Grafton adopted during the Revolutions; the
formation Of our present Constitution, and
the great debates which have taken place
under It. To those who would become ac
auainted with the prominent questions that
have agitated and divided the people. into
parties, and have neither the leisure to stu
dy. nor access to, the volumnous debates
in Congress. the American Statesman" is
An invaluable work. Mr.. Traver, the agent
for the sale of the work, is now stopping at
the National Exchange, in this place, and
will remain here for several days.

WIRE BRIDGE BROKEN.-A correspondent
of the Sacramento Bee writing from Michigan
Bar, Sacramento county, says "Putnam S wire
bridge across the Cosumnes' three milts below
this place, gave way Friday afternoon. About
fifty head of cattle were crossing at the time.
One of the wooden towers split, let ting down
the suspension cable on one side, turning the
bridge up edgewise and precipitating the cattle
into the river, and entangliDg some of them in
the wire railing where some ten head are hang
ing yet. Most of them were drowned"

A JOLLY Coop FtGHT.-Captain Bailey,
who was second in command under FarrAgut
at the battle Of New Orleans, was called upon
for dinner speech at the Astor House, few
days since. "Gentlemen," said he, as he neT-
vously twisted his handkerchief into hard
rope and hesitated between his words-"I don I
claim any more than my share-We don't any
of us-we all want what belongs to US, and no
more. Farragut, he did it--he planned it all
out; all we had to do was to obey his orders;
that's what We did. AS to the particulars, the
way it twas-was-well, we had jolly good
fight"

Congress to purchase their slaves is likely

Gently come to light which complete a

orders to General Patterson from General

July IS and II. Their purport is given
as follows by the Washington correspond
ent of the New York Herald:
The one of July IS informed General
Patterson that General Mcdowell would
attack Manassas on the 18th, and instruc-
ted Gen Patterson to take care of john
ston and his rebel army. 1t alse advised
him that the time of the three months
men was nearly out, and was then valu-
able, and ordering him, if the three months
men would not stand by him, that he
should entrench himself and hold his posi-
ton until reinforced. but not TO retreat to
the Maryland shcre. He was instructed
to watch johnson closely. On the 18th
General Scott instructed General Patter-
son that General McDowells first days

BORDER STATE INTERRo G AToRIEs.--The
Nashville Banner, in view of the proba-
bility that Missouri, Kentucky, Tennes-
see and Virginia are to be permanently
held under Federal authority, propounds
the following questions -
Are we then to have peace? Is the
shield of the Constitution, as our fathers
made it, to be thrown about US, securing
our rightful heritage in all that ennobles
American citizenship? Are We to be
held as equals amid brotherhood of
sovereign States, whose domestic affairs
shall remain unmolested by those whom,
heretofore, we have feared to trust as
friends Or, are we to be tossed again
upon the ceaseless waves of slavery agi-
tation
Is the Constitution to be made the
guise of oppression, our State equality
merged into a great consolidated power,
and we its helpless victims These
questions are full of Importance to U.S.
We can support the Constitution of our
fathers in future, as we have sought to do
| in the past. We can sustain Union of
equality, such as Webster and jackson
aimed to preserve. To such Constitu-
ton and such Union we have been ever
ready to pledge the ardent VOWS of a pat
riot.
1t is natural, indeed, that the Border
Slave States should look with deep anxi-
ETY. upon the prospect now before them
They have been conservative in the past.
They deserve, therefore, better reward
for the wise counsels they have given to
the country, than to be made the victims
of policy now sought to be inaugurated
by the radical men of the North. Will
Mr.. Lincoln yield to the insane clamor Of
such politicians? The opportunity. per
haps, is near at hand when he may exhib.
it himself to the American people in the
attitude of broad-minded, magnanimous
statesman. The policy of the Govern.
ment toward these States will prove te
the world 'what manner of man he is"
