Debt of the Confederate States,

The Rebel debt in Dee last was $685.,
105, 600. That the Confederates will
require between now and the first OF
July next. $357 ,929, GOO. Makingan ag
gregate Of S914,034 coo. Our debt and
expenses to the same time will be about
81 200, 900, 600 and this includes nearlya
hundred millions incurred before the war
began. Ii will therefore be seen that
while the war will have cost us, by the
end of June, 81, ,100,000,000 it will have
cost the Rebels for the same time, $914,-
000,000. In proportion to our eXpendl-
lures theirs will stand as nine TO eleven,
while their population stand as ten to
twenty-one, including both slave and free
Thus again, although the numbers which
are to carry the burden of their debt are
less than one-haT our population, their
obligations are more than nine elerenthS
When we come to the ability to pay,
the proportion stands in our tayor-''ali
the world to nothing" !"
If, then, with our two-fold and rapidly
increasing number cur broad oxpanse
of rich public lands, cur untiring indus
try, our proverbial enterprise and thrift,
if with all these great advantages in our
favor, there is any reaJ cause for iear
that our debt will bear us down how Is
it we hear Of no such fears in secesh
circles, either on this or the other side
of the Atlantic, touching the Atlas load
Of indebtedness on the backs OF the
rebels? IF We shall stagger beneath
our burden, they must inevitably besunk
into bottomless slough OF bankruptcy

EXTRACT FROM A SOLDIERS LETTER.
-WHAT he THINKS OF COPPERHEADs.
The extract below is from letter
written by Capt. Z. G. Miller, Of the 29th
Wise onsin, to his father member O. the
Assembly from the southeast district Of
Dane county:
"When | think of my own boys who
have fallen, Others who are crippled for
life, and still others whose constitutions
are completely destroyed by the hard
ships they have undergone; when | re-
ceiye letters from the friends Of those
lost, which tell such tales Of suffering !;
when [ think that what / have seen and
felt is but an iota Of what the country
has endured, and then read in the North
ern papers of the efforts Northern rebel
sympathizers are making to throw OBJ
stacles in the way OF speedy end OF
the mo,', I tremble with apprehension.
! 1t seems to me they do not understand
the temper Of the army. We do want
! peace, We sigh for it, pray for it, bit eee
aciW moi aclt(lngty accept HWhttc ace hdte
an enemy IN arms on the continent Of
1merica.
Although I felt glorious when we went
over that battery at Prairie Grove, do
not love to fight, but | would risk my
life in such conflict ece1y dag, rather
than see the blood already she'd, shed
in vain. IF we stop short Of restored
/ Union | shall always feel that this blood
has been she'd, shed in vain-that the
/ lives of thousands who have fallen have
been murdered, and that their blood is
upon the hands of those who are now
working for peace. In the settlement
of this difficulty the North will be mag
nanimous but they who wickedly com
menced this war must first cry Hold +!
enough |" We can force them to do it ;
there is an end, as Ethan Spike says, to the
s'power Of human endurance. /" We have
men enough, means enough the army
is willing, anxious to be hurled against
cur country's enemies, and if the anti
administration men will only stop their
everlasting howling about the "Procla-
nation, "Ha5eas Corpus" &c, and will
turn in and give us their united support,
| believe 1864 will dawn upon us, an
unbroken nation -Journal

BEST TINE TO SLEEP.-Two colonels
in the French army had dispute whether
it was most safe to march in the heat Of
the day, or at evening. To ascertain this
point, they got permission from the COM
manding officer to put their plans into
execution. Accordingly, the one, with
his division, marched during the day,
although in the heat Of summer, and
rested all night; the other slept in the
day, and marched during the evening
and part Of the night The result was,
that the first performed journey Of six
hundred miles without losing single
man or horse, while the latter lost most OF
his horses and several Of his men.

BUYING APPLES OF A SEcEsH WON

BUYING APPLES OF A SECEsH WON
ANA correspondent Of the Chicago
Eoonjng Journal tells the following good
story, relative to our troops trading with
an Arkansas woman:
"Confederate money is the onl J thing
that can be used here, except specie.
Green backs won't 90 the people think
them worth less than the paper they are
printed on 1t is truly astonishing to
sec what confidence they have in their
rebel shinplasters. One morning, some
of our soldiers went to the house Of a
wealthy citizen (rebel,) TO purchase ap-
pies. The lady replied that she would
mot take our money in payment, nor
would she sell to Fed This blockaded
the game, and the large pile of fine
apples in the cellar remained untouched
But an idea struck one of the boys, and he
resolved to have some apples by strategy
The general had given orders that moth
ing in the houses should be molested !;
hence strategy must be resorte0 to. One
of the soldiers was stripped Of his uni
form and clothed in the socesh garb of
'butternut.' A small pile Of confederate
shinplasters in his pocket properly pre-
pared him for the enterprise. Two sold
icrs with fixed bayonets, marched him to
the kind lady house as a prisoner. The
prisoner then told his tale Of suffering,
not only Of himself, but Of his compan-
ions and prisoners. The good lady SYM
pathized deeply with him, and sold a
bushel Of apples for fifty cent confed-
crate shinplaster. The prisoner should
cred the apples, and the guard marched
him into camp. The strategy worked,
and the boys are now doing thriving
business with fifty cent shinplasters, and
manufactured prisoners, to the complete
conquest Of the rebel apple pile. How
long before the old lady will smell rat
is yet to be seen"

PRoGREss.-One year ago the rebels
would not have consented to terms of
peace which did not recognize the South
ern Confederacy, and concede to them,
Maryland, Kentuckyand Missouri. Now
they would doubtless be glad to forego
their claims to these three States, if We
would acknowledge the independence Of
the States south of them. If the war is
pushed with vigor for while longer
they will be glad to acknowledge them
selves members of the Union, upon equal
terms with the other States.

In THE LAST EXTREMITY. ~ Inc

In THE LAST EXTREMITY. ~ Ihe
wretched straights, says the Louisville
Journal, that the rebels are put to ior
fighting men are evident from the Tact
that they have resorted to third con
scription to include all men between the
ages of As and 55, jeff Davis having
proclaimed that the maintenance Of the
Confederacy depends upon the raising
of seventv-fve or hundred thousand
fresh recruits within the next few weeks.
The rebel President said ''the next two
months" and this was said some weeks
ago.
Now no one who understands the SUB
iect at all, can suppose it possible Tor
the new conscription Of old men to fur,
nish seventy-fve or hunGre thousand
men or any thing like that number
From IS to So is old age in the South ti ];
indeed pretty old age anywhere; Inc
two first Southern conscriptlons having
exhausted the class of young men ana
the class of middle aged men, the rebels
themselves cannot and do not expect
much from their conscription Of a class
regarded in all countries as past military
duty.

Poisonous RYE CoFFEE.-A Germa

PoIsoNoUs RYE CoFFEE-A German
family, consisting of eight individuals,
in New York city, were all taken sick
at once, about week ago. 4 physician
having been called in, he pronounced
them suffering from the effects OF pois-
on. Upon examination, itappoared that
they had been in the habit Of using rye
coffee, which they had Obtained for
twelve cents per pound. This coffee,
upon being subjected to a chemical an
alyzation, was found to be mixed with
some poisonous weeds, which had prob
ably grown in the same field. None OF
the family are III danger, and they are
all recovering. AS rye coffee is daily
becoming more generally used, it be-
hooves all who partake Of it to see that
it is pure.

BoYHooD Of GEN. HOOKER The
northampton Free Press, publishes a
biographical sketch Of Gen. Hooker, in
which it is stated that he was born in
the town of Hadley, in the year 1915.
"His boyhood" says the Free Press,
':seems to have been pleasantly spent,
and as his father was not an owner OF
land and was much Of the time absent
on business, he was frequently employed
by the neighbors on their farms. One
relates that he has employed him many
a day to hoe broom corn at twelve and a
half cents for each day work, and an
other that he has paid him considerable
sums of money for scraping broom corn
at twenty-five cents hundred. lie Is
said to have been extremely fond OF
hunting, but Notwithstanding was rery
industrious-always at work when he
could get employment, however small
the compensation.
