+ CosT OF THE WAR TO THE SoUrH.-
A Southern journal estimates the loss on
account of the war to single State as
follows:
The property, real and personal. in,
cluding slaves, held in South Carolina,
according TO the census of 1860, was
valued at four hundred millions of dollars.
The bank, railroad and other corporate
stocks'and personal property amounted to
a hundred millions and of this property
hardly a vestge is left. The four hundred
thousand slaves were estimated to be-
worth two hundred millions. The land,
embracing some finely improved and
productive cotton and rice plantations,
with costly mansions, was worth one
hundred million dollars; and these are,
to great extent, devastated by the war;

SHIPMENT OF RICE.
A sober second thought has induced

the monstrous dullness of apprehension of
the first principles of business common sense
of those who would drive away from the
peoples pockets the immense investment of
capital and the subsequent advantages to be
derived therefrom, by the building of the
proposed depot. While Wilmington is fool
ishly asking the Company to pay it heavy
bonus for the privilege of spending two or
three hundred thousands of dollars among
its citizens for the advancement of their
wealth and industry, the people of Chester
on the other hand are making lavish propo-
sitions and offering heavy inducements TO
the same Company to erect the Depot
there, and invest the rejected capital with
them. Wilmington demands of the Com.
pany twenty thousand dollars for the privi-
lege of erecting a magnificent nuequalled
Depot within its limits; Chester offers thirty
acres OF choice ground to the Company free
of cost, if it will erect the Depot there Can
