The Cost of the War to the North.
The North is beginning to feel the i'm
mense cost 0. this war, and her resources
are becoming exhausted under its burden.
The Milwaukee wis Ne'rs, in calcu-
lating the expenses of the war, says
The expenses Of the government, &C.
cordinc to the New Sork Tribune, are
over 20 oo9 900. 2eI day. ;ais Is al the
rate of fifteen cents pei day eor every
man. woman and child in me Nor'8 ,V,r
States. At this rate, the war costs rs
consin over $4,000 every day, and nesr.
" SIC, 900 every hour, and over sl50 every
minute between sunrise and sunset. The
whole expense for one year would build
A comfortable house for every family in
the Northern States. 1t would pay the
ordinary expenses of all the State Gov
ernments for twenty years. 1t would BUY
nearly one half of all the farms in the
Northern States. 1t would take all the
wheat produced in Wisconsin for three
years to pay its proportion for twelve
months. Such is the cost Of war.
The Philadelphia Leager, in its money
article, says: For want of government
revenues, and an adquate tax law, gov
eminent credit is daily more and more at
a discount For the future, if the war
ended tomorrow, we shall do well if we
get on with an expenditure of two hun
bred millions annually. A large stand
ing army will be required, the cost OF
which for each man, rank and file, is one
thousand dollars per- year. It's estimated
in financial circles that on the LIST OF July
next we shall have an annual interest ac-
count of forty millions of dollars

Rather Gloomy.

The chief reason offered by the Presi-
dent why the Federal government should
cooperate with the States" in getting
rid of slavery, is this: The Confederates
believe that the war will end in the ac-
knowledged independence of some of the
Southern States-meaning we suppose,
the cotton States; and that when this
result is secured, the border States will
desire to 60 with them because of SIM
ilarity of institutions and interests. The
President seems to take it for granted that
this result is not only possible, but prob
able.
So he recommends, as means OF de-
stroying the hopes of the cotton States,
that we get rid of the similarity referred
to; that is, thai we make free States Of
the border States Really this is gloo7
my view of our affairs; and coming at
Just the moment when people were sup
posing the rebellion TO be in its last gasp,
who wonders that it creates establishment?
Are we really weak, or is the rebellion as
strong, as here represented2-Proviaenc
Post.
The New York Tribune exulted over
the emancipation message o. the Presi
dent as calculated to win to us the unan'
imous support Of European nations. II
will have the contrary effect, and will be
seized upon as evidence that the Presi
dent despairs of reducing the cotton
States TO subjugation, and is struggling
to detach from them the border States
by pecuniary subsidies. The message
makes the contest look, not like resto
ration of the Union, but a war for q
boundary.-ABany Nv. ~ Argus.

Terrible Homicide,

Much excitement was created IN our
city yesterday afternoon by the shooting
of Leon Jones, well known citizen Of
this county, by a young man from Nash
vile, member of Col. Rains regiment,
named Wallace Halle. Jones was stand
ing on the corner of Main and Gay
streets when Halle approached and shot
him through the head with pistol, kill
ling him instantly. The cause of the
act, we learn, was a personal difficulty OF
some months standing, Mr.. Jones Was
an unmarried man, but leaves an aged
mother and two sisters to mourn this sad
occurrence. He was brother of Hon.
G. w. Jones, county judge Of this coun-
ty. Young Halle is the son Of Nash
vile merchant, and, we believe, was chief
bugler in Rains regiment at Cumberland
Gap. OF the more immediate difficulty
which led to the preparation of the act,
we are not fully advised, and as Halle
has been arrested, and his case is waiting

Of the 18th inst, have been received in
this city, by which we have intelligence
of a glorious victory obtained by the Con-

The battle was fought at Valyerde,
four miles above Fort Craig, on the 2lst
ult.
The Confederate forces numbered TWEEN
ty-three hundred, and that of the Fed
erals one thousand regulars, and four
thousand New Mexico volunteers. inclu-
ding one hundred men from Pixies
Peak
The enemy first attempted to turn our
left flank, but they were repulsed by
Mai. Lockridge. They then attacked
the whole line. but we're again repulsed.
They next concentrated against our left,
and forced our troops 10 fall back, when
they crossed o battery of guns over the
river. This move proved fatal. We
charged the battery, and took it at the
point of the bayonet and with our shot
guns and reSnlyers, after q desperate
struggle. The enemy fed across the fiv-
err, after suffering a terrible slaughter.
The contest throughout was one Of the
most disastrous in the records of the war.
The Confederate loss was thirty-six killed
and one hun lred and six wounded; that
Of the enemy in killed and wounded over
five hundred.
Major Lockridge and Capt Van Her
mel were killed. Col. w. l.. Richards,
slightly wounded.
In the beginning Of the fight shell
exploded in the midst Of Kit Carson's
regiment, killing and wounding twenty.
The regiment then fled in great panic to
the mountains.
Twenty-Five hundred of the enemy
have returned to Fort Craig. The bal
ance are missing, and we have them com.
pletely surrounded. They must surren-
der. Their forces are at our mercy.
The battle is universally regarded as
decisive of the fate of New Mexico.
We captured a field battery Of seven
pieces, which are splendid guns, two hun.
bred and fifty muskets, and many prison.
