A SMALL ITEM IN Big BILL.-It
may interest the public to know that the
cost of maintaining the seventy four major
generels and two hundred and eighty four
brigadier generals in the Federal army,
with their stats, amounts to the nice little
sum of three millions Of dollars per annum.
It has been said that this sum and the
number ofgenerals might be reduced one
half. Such generals as Fremont might
easily be dispensed with,

that the North are divided. He says Of us
that there are agents at work in the North
that will ultimately defeat us. even if our
armies are uniformly successful. And he
thus states what these agents are:
There are divisions in the camp oil the
enemy; ds~entions among the people Of
the North. There is already peace party;
then all the embarrsssments with which
that party can surround Mr.. Lincoln. and
all the difficulties that it can throw in the
way Of the war party in the North. operate
directly as so much aid and comfort to the
South.'
Maury also has the most sanguine ex-
pectations of the result of Vallandighan' S
efforts. as one Of the "agents" of over
throwing the Union. He says OF the great
banished traitor:
"He waits and wat tchcs over the border
pledged. II elected Governor of the State
of Ohio. to array it against Lincoln and
the war. and go for peace"
Mr.. Marry is one of Vallandigham's
old and tried friends, and no doubt, speaks
what he knows. Let every loyal Demo-
crat make a note of il, and see what he is
doing when he affiliates with these tai,or-
ous knaves. who assume to be leaders OF
