The pecuniary lose: TO the Conderate
States, caused by the rebellion. are almost
fabulous. A South Carolina journal esti.
mates the loss to that State alone. az four
hundred million dollars. Inis consisted Of
slaves, bank, railroad and corporate stocks.
and personal property; ANA says that of
all this property. not one ctstage remains.
If the losses of South Carolina were 400
mi,lions, (which we scarcely believe,l and
that of the ten other rebellious States were
equally large, we can aggregate the pecuni
airy losses of the Confederacy at four Htous-
and n,t1ltonsi This sum i5-a quarter larger
than the debt incurred hy the National

rebellion-which is estimated at three thou
