THE SUPPLY OF HOGs.-From the Bowling
Green Courier, of the 3d. extract the following:
A large lot of hogs passed through Princeton
the other day route for the pork houses at
Clarksville Tenn. The best of the joke is they
were driven from Illinois.
We learn that several thousand are now on the
way from jacksonville to the same point. Not
hog has been driven North from the neghbor-
hood of Jacksonville. This does mt look much
like starving out the Southern Confederacy.

KENTUcKY.-Thc Louisville Courier, Of the
18th ult., says:
We learn that there is considerable trouble
among the Kentucky regiments in the Federal
army, and that much anxiety exists among the
Yankees as to what will be the result. The mes.
sage of Lincoln and the report of Cameron nave
caused such universal dissatisfaction as to quite
demoralze those companies which are composed of
fair proportion of men Of ordinary intelligence
In Col. Curran Pope's regiment, as we are in
formed upon authority that can vouch for, there
has been open mutiny.
On reading Camerou's report, some two hun
bred of his men at once threw down their arms.

arrested, aad under threats and entreaties few
were induced to go into the ranks again. The
bulk, however, persisted in their course, and on
being threatened with the utmost rigor of the mill
tary law, they still bid defiance and declared they
would rather die than fight for party that pro-
posed to place arms in the hands of slaves with
which to murder their masters and innocent wo
men aud children. The officers of the Federal
army evidently place reliance on their Kentucky
volunteers.

A Word for Christmas-Ev

A briei thought for our young read
ers. Many, many have been tho "mer-
~ Christmas days" we have had. We
are now upon the eve of one that will
net be of the merry sort. The pres.
ence OF distress will sadden many a
home, and spread a drapery Of mourn.
ing over hearts that have been used
to celebrate the day with festiye gaity.
But the day may DO mono tho worse
kept because Of the sad realities sur
rounding US. Hitherto mirth has run
almost into riot, amongst tho youth of
our towns, in the license allowed them
in excepting Christmas" Doubtless the
sober style which will usher in and be
the characteristic Of tomorrow, will be
more acceptable to GoD; will BIO a
more joyful sight to tho angels and
will be surer to bless to US and to our
cause tho incoming year. Now what
we say is Let each and all the youth
full readers of the Bulletin pray in the
morning for COPS blessing of Peace,
to our Contederacy first, and then to
all the world remembering tho song
Of the angels which ushered in the first
blessed Christmas day, let their first
waking thoughts be, Glory to COP in
the highest Peace to our country On
earth peace; Good will toward men

Gen. Stewart is about thirty-seven
years of age. In person he is slender,
his movements quick, his eyes clear,
blue and bright; his nose is large and
straight. his hair is light, and his com
plexion, originally fair, is now porfOct-
~ bronzcd. In his social life he is
very amiablo and kind, his manners
easy, and his face is readily lighted up
with a smile. In his habits he is very
abstemious, and in his apparel has
adopted the precepts Of Pollonious to
his son, erich, not gaudy," "for the aP
parel oft proclaims the man"
He is a devout member of the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church, and has
been deemed for many years past the
first mathematician and geometrician

Gen. Mcclellan is very active. will relate

VIVA, Taxn,,on VIII Do.

According to statistical calculations furnished
by the Boston Chamdbr of Commerce, the sggre-
gate value of the productions of the country
amounts to the sum of two thousand millions of
dollars. At the close of the war the interest on
our debt may be estimated as being likely to
amount to one hundred millions. Then il may
be calculated that another hundred millions win
be necessary to meet the annual expenditures Of
the Government. Consequently, two hundred
millions will have to be raised by taxation to
meet the interest of the debt, and for the sup
port of Government. This will amount to ten
per cent on the above aggregate value of the
national wealth. This amount Of taxation will
be derived from labor and land-the two ele-
ments which are the sources of all national
wealth, and by which the chief weight Of tax
alton will have to be borne. ,11.4
We arrive by the above data at the following
general conclusions: First, that the value Of
fancy city property In all the great cities will be
reduced about fifty per cent; ell other property,
ten or twenty per cent. Labor will have TO pay
of the tax an amount equal to ten cents on the
dollar, or ten per cent In the mean time, Gov
eminent securities will rise In few years from
ninety-one to hundred and twenty FIVE, accord
lug to circumstances. There will be trying
and almost revolutionary times In ell fnAnciaI
mstters; and no wonder.-N' Y. Herald.

WHAr THE SOLDIERS SAY.-By the following
extract, which the London, o., Democrat takes
from private letter, written by one OF the
soldiers of the Army of the Potomac. it will be
seeu that the insane idea Of the Abolitionists'
of converting the war into war Of emanciFs'
.Ion, is not very well relshed by the men who
are to do the fighting And we believe there
are hundreds of thousands OF noble Union sol
diers who think and feel 10 the same way. The
writer says: "If the Abolitionists succeed in
continuing hostlites for the purpose Of abolish
ing slavery, shall most afsuredly come home
4. all hazards-on fence furlOugh,' If no
more honorable way presents itself. If the Alb
oiitionists are so jealous on this question, they
may fgh. their own battles. .... t.....
