Take only two cases. The army of
Xerxes, says DR.. Dick, must have am
ounted to $ 5,2ss, 800 and IL the atten-
aants were only one third as great as
common at the present time in eastern
countries, the total sum. must have
reached nearly 6,OOO:O00o. Yet, in
one year, this vast multitude was re-
'luced, though not entirely by death,
to 100000 fighting men; and Of these
only 5000 escaped destruction. Jenhiz
Kahn, the terrible ravager of Asia in
the thirteenth century, ahos 10000 on
the plains Of Nessa, and massacred
10000 at the storming Of Charaism. In
the Herat District he butchered 1000,
900, and in two cities, with her depen.
lencies, 100000. During the last
twenty seven years of his long reign,
he is said to have massacrei more
than half a million every year; and,. in
the first fourteen years, he is supposed
! by Chinese historians. to have destroy
ed not less than 100000; sum to
tai of S2,Oo0,0)ein forty.onc years!
In any view, what a fell destroyer is
war: NapoIeon's war sacrificed some
! 6 000.O 70: and all the wars consequent
on the French revolution, some nine o,
ten millions. The Spaniar,ls are said
to have DESTROYED in forty two years,
more than 100000 Of American In
dians. Grec,an wars sacrificed 1000
| 900 Jewish wars 25,O00,000; in all
the wars Of the twelve Caesars, $4,000
900; in all the wars Of the Romans,
before Julius Caesar, 60,000,O0O; the
wars ofthe Russian Empire, Of the
,Saraccns and the Turks, 10000, 900
each ; those Of the Tartars, SO,O0o,o oou
those of Africa, lOoooo,ooo! "If We
take into conaidcration,' says the learn
ed DR.. Dick, " the number not only Of
those who have fallen in battle, but Of
those who have persisted through the
natural consequences Of war, VIC will
not perhaps, be oycr.rating the dcstruc-
ton Of human life, if we were t. affirm
that one.tcnth of the human race has
been destroyed by the rayages of war
according to the estimate, more than
IA o,ooo oooof human beings have

THE TERRIBLE HAVOC OF WAR

= 4 \ .
1t is difficult to conceive what fearful
havoc the custom of war has made Of
human life. Some of its incidental
raysgss seem to defy belief. 1t has at
times entirely depopulatcd immense
districts In modern, as we'll as an
cieEt times, large tracts have been left
so utterly des late that one might pass
from village to village, even from city
to city. without inling a solitary in
hahitant. The war of l756, waged in
the heart Of Europe, left in one in.
stance: no less than twenty co ntiguous
villages without a asinsle man or beast.
Tic thirty year war, in the seventeenth
century, reduced the population of Ger
many from 1870 10000 to 5000: 600
three fourths and that of Witemburg
from 100000 to 48,0O0-more than
nine tenths !! Thirty villages destroy
ed in many others the population en-
tircly died out; and in districts once
studded with towns and cities, there
sprang up immense forests. a-oi
Look at the havoc Of sciges, in that Of
londonderry 10000 sol.liers, beside a
vast number ofinhabitants.; in that Of
Paris, in the sixteenth century, 10000
victims Of mere hunger in that Of
Malplaquet, $4,000 soldiers alone ); in

THE NATIONAL TAxEa.

The following instructions from Mr..
Boutwell,, the commissioner of revenue,
will be found of iatercst to our citizens,
as answering many queries that are
being constantly propounded on the
subject -.,.,.Fu .s r.
/. All mechanics, except those who
merely do repairs, must be registered
as manufacturers, and must take out q
license as such if their annual sales am
cunt to one thousand d liars. -4
2. But mechanics and other manu-
features who sell their own manufac.
lures at the place where they are pro
duced are not required to take out an
additional license as traders. This
does not tinclude rectifiers, who must
pay both licenses. ''
5. If manufacturers have an office
depot, store room or agency at place
different from the place where the
goods arc made, Oh, if they sell the man
ufactures Of others in addition to their
own they must pay traders as we'll
as manufacturers license. Thus, a
tobacconist who both makes cigars and
keeps for sale goods in his line which
he has purchased, must take out both
licens es. So must druggist, who al
so makes patent articles or medicines,
ETC., for which he has q private formula
or receipt. 5aT g y --'saa1ls ao-1eF
4. Persons keeping bar or sa-
Icons for the sale of liquors must take
out a retail liquor dealers license. If
they also furnish food they must in ad.
dition take out an eatlng-house license;
and the sale Of cigars, etc.. requires q
tobacconists' or retail Dealers license
besides. Billiard tables require spec
ial license, and bagatelle tables are
reckoned as billiards. -

A ROMAN PlcrURE OF Crv,L WAR.
The Nashville Union furnishes the
following extract from ancient hissry:-
The very victories of civil war, are
fraught with sad reflections to the
hearts ofthe loyal. g..-g M bazsg
Sallust, in recording the. defeat Of
Cataline, the conspirator, by the .Ro-
man army, adds "Nor had the army Of
the Roman people won a joyful or blood
less victory; for every valiant soldier
had either fallen in battle or departed
severely wounded. But many, who had
come from tho camps for the sake Of
seeing or gathering spoils, in turning
over the bodies of the euemyfound, some
e friend, somea guest. and Aothers q
hnsnan. Some also recognised their
enemies. Thus thr ough the army was
seen delight, grisf; joy and sorow."

REyoLUTIoNIZING THE ARMY.

From the Washington Republican of Wednesday.
There has been some swearing about
town Ga the subject Of the Presidents s
proclamation. Particularly have gentle
men with shoulder straps rendered
themselves ridiculous by their raids Of
mere words against that document. r y.
We have heard more than one Of
these gentry say, "I'H be damned i!
| will fight for the damned nisscr.'
The quickcr'the army is rid Of ull
such fellows, the better. Such nen
are either traitors or seccsh sympath-
izers, and should be dismissed at once
We have it on pretty good authority
from gentleman from Alexandria, that
many of the soldiers now stationed in
that city, with their officers, show
some spirit Of insubordinstion in conse.
quence Of the Presidents proclamation.
The case of these soldiers will prob
ably be attended to, and the, shoulder
strapped gentleman. who are so sure
they did not come out to fight for the
negro, may possibly have a nice ~oppor-
tunity to sink into the obscurity from
which they came. -, go -
