If Northern accounts of casualties IL
battle and otherwise be correct, the South
has lost more than two to one as compared
with the North. This will give 100000
men as the Southern loss, which, added tc
the Northern, makes 100000. 1t will not
be an overestimate to put the number kill
ed, or who have died from wounds, etc, al
100000 men. a wl
How much space would it require to bury,
side by side, this enormous host of dead
men, allowing four feet to each grave, and
the space between? One mile in length
contains $3.50 feet, and will bury thus, 1920
men. How many miles will it require to
bury 100000 men? Just 1,515 IT miles
Or suppose we place the dead lengthwise,
allowing six feet for the grave, and two feet
for the space between. On one mile could
quired to bury 100000? The answer is
5000 1898 miles. Suppose man to walk,
day by day, thirty-five miles, it would re-
quire over eighty-six days continuous walk
ing to pass from one end of this ''Golgotha"

cotton to Memphis. to sell on his own ac-
count, was granted. He returned home
and got out about half his cotton WITHOUT
trouble, and it went forward; but for some
reason the remainder was seized and de-
tanned by the commander of the post, Col.
Clayton. While still under seizure, the
owner had conversation with the person
first named, and said, "If am deprived OF
this cotton, l am ruined" "Why no you
are not" replied his friend; "you have got
out two hundred and fifty bales--you owe
nothing in the world: you have only wife
and no children, and if you lose these two
hundred and fifty bales you will still have
enough" To which the owner replied, with
some significance Of manner, II am totally
ruined If do not get those two hundred
and fifty bales released" The only possible
inference, under the circumstances, was
that pretty severe terms had been imposed
upon the repentant rebel, and that his per-
nit to get it out had cost him one half his
cotton. Perhaps the Inference was unjust;
but his neighbors could see no other that
appeared reasonable.

AN INCIDENT IN COTTON.

| rr0 In AN INCIDENT IN COTTON.
Let me relate cotton incident which has
come to my knowledge here, which is but
one Of hundred that might be named.
A gentleman of Pine Bluff, Arkansas,
came to this city six weeks ago to ask per-
mission to bring out his own cotton, amount
ling to about five hundred and fifty-six
bales. He applied to Treasury officer for
the permit. He was well known as gen
tlenian of undoubted loyalty; the cotton
was mostly his own production, grown on
his own plantation. In answer to his appli-
cation it was stated there We're no blanks at
hand and that the permit could not then
be granted. He was, however, referred to
second officer, and by him to third. On
stating his difficulty in securing permit,
this officer said substantially. 'T have two
friends who hold a permit to bring out
two thousand bales, and you can,l under
i that, get out your cotton, on paying them
twelve dollars per bale" The owner re-
| piled, 81 have not black-mail to offer; this
, cotton is mine, and give you my word I
will get it OUT" He went back to the first
officer, who refused positively the permit.
The owner stated to him with some posi-
tiveness that he. should certainly secure q
I permit, and requested the officer to state, in
writing, his refusal, and the reason. 1t was
refused. The owner then himself wrote out
his application for a permit, stating the
facts requisite concerning his cotton, his
own loyalty and proprietorship, handed it
to the Treasury agent, and demanded that
he should indorse thereon his refusal, stat
ing, 'If you do notindorse your refusal in
writing, will bring witnesses by whom /
may prove it," The Treagury agent with
Isonie agitation, took the paper, read it, and
: wrote 1t what the owner supposed was
,! the refusal. He did not examine it until
/, loutside Of the office, when to, his surprise
4 The discovered that a full permit to bring
Y out his cotton, was written on the sheet
l These facts wererelated to me by the own,
b Ter of the cotton, q gentleman Of culture

has served in the army, and from the begin.

- This same gentleman related to me an in
u cident concerning one of his fellow towns

~ permit TO sell his cotton, amounting to near
lltly five hundred bales. He came To Mem
