disgusted with Trigg and considers him u nuisance
and cheat upon an honest community. This friend
further said the Judge dismissed the Jurors without
making to them complimentary speech, eulogizng
them on the faithful discharge Of their duties, as has
been his custom with other juries.
This Is fortunate for the jurorsr for they will loose
nothing by Triggs neglect in this instance In the
good opinion Of those whose respect Is to be desired
we mean loyal men, The enmity of Trgg and
those who endorse him Is the most satisfactory and
sufficient attestaton Of the character Of gentle

The Exceptions TO the Amnesty Proc.
lamatIOn.

The Presidents amnesty proclamation has set
people TO thinking over the exceptions TO the grace
II announces.
The New York World thinks that the number OF
those dcbarred from mercy for the present has been
greatly exaggerated. Some authorities have set II
as high as half the entire South. calculation of
the exceptions compels SO much knowledge that we
do not possess says the World, that IL must, TO a
great extent, be problemetical. We have no COM
plete lists of the rebel army none of the civil emu
meration of its government The greatest trouble
will DO to determine the status of wealth in the
South which thousand circumstances effect in or
der to get at the real number of those worth over
twenty thousand dollars.
There are altogether in the rebel limits only about
five millions of white people, ms they have lost by
war; emigration, &c, fully thirty per cent Of their
population in 1860, The loss of property has been
groatcr-at least forty per cent in great part OF
the Southland whereas in 1860 the actual value Of
all individual property including slaves, was three
billions of dollars it is in 1865 including the slaves
who are property no longer, and who were before
rated at sixteen hundred millions of dollars, only
say one thousand millions.
There is really little left but the land, and this
unfenced The farming land and farming tools of
the section were worth in 1860 Sl0O,0O0,000. Its
1.-Two stock, which was rated at 2S0000,000, is not
now worth S2O,OO0,OOO. The per capita wealth of
people in Northern States is about S60O-one man
In fifty being worth $4,000 and one in two hundred,
$4,000 There were probably in 1860 hundred
and fifty thousand in the rebelious States worth
over $4,000. The most of these being Shareholders
devoted the bulk of their means 10 the common
cause and have lost IL. Those who kept Confederate
money arc destitute of all but land those who kept
stocks find them deprecated almost TO worthless
ness; few took mortgages on real estate and hold
them. II is improbable that there are at present in
the South, that part Of it subugated eighty thou
sand men worth $4,000. Of these we may set two
thirds as advocates of the rebellion.
The whole South has turned out during the war
but one million kSo hundred thousand soldiers
The mass Of these have been ut times withdrawn
and again re-enlisted. There have been about six
hundred brigadiers major and lieutenant generals.
OF the total ranking as colonel two hundred are
dead or exiled
The following table is believed 10 present good
estimate:

TIM devout adherents of the &C. s. a. have
been anxiously inquring for their President-since
Jefersons sun eclipsed in the mysterious folds
of a petticoat The New York Commercial throws
some light upon the question: who is the rebel Pres
ident 1t says that since the capture of Davis and
Stephens the Presidency of the Southern Confed-
eracy devoves upon the Speaker of the rebel House
of Congress. Thomas s. Bocock, of Virginia, is
the fortunate individual. He has not yet made his
appearance to receive the oath of office but is sup
posed, in anticipation of the event of his ascension
to be busly employed, IN retirement on his inaugu-
raj. Among the first documents submitted to his
consideration will doubtless be certain official reports
from Generals Johnston, Lee and Taylor
The first message Of President Cocock will be
looked for by the trembling devotees of Dixie with
as much anxiety as new revelation was looked for
by the disciples of Joe Smith Let the world have
his views on the exact worth of Confederate bonds
and on the slavery question, which has the merit of
being novel subject.
