Grating against Richmond, $4,000; Inbotlcn's
cavalry, 5000; recently Under l,rccli,riGec
and Echols, 10000, between Wilmington and
Petersburg, $4,000; Under Gc: Johnston be-
fore he left Dalton, 10000; Charleston and
Savannah, 10000; Mobile 5000; under Kir-
10y Smith and Price in Arkansas and Missouri,
$4,000; OH Red River and in Texas, $4,000.
