Cost Of the War.

We quoted last week from the Chicago
Tribune, which is making the most valu.
able contributions to the history Of the
war, some statistics of the blood that was
shed in the closing campaigns Of the war
We are now enabled, ,on the same authori.
ty, to give an account Of the treasure
expended in the struggle for our national
existence. The public debt on the lst Of
July, 1861, and annually at the san 9
date up to last July. was, successivcly /:

793,18l; sl,74O69O,489 s2,757.253,.

dates were; s5l,935, ,72O; S112,687 ,29O
s264.626,771; s3O9, ,5O0,O (known and
estimated). The difference is $780,.

debt and four years interest thereon. aud
the ordinary expenses of Government
which would have been independent OF
the war, becomes s3,09S.l23,O78. This
amount is likely to be swelled still fur
ther by the continuance Of expenditures
that properly attach to the war, and in
round numbers the cost Of putting down

Shasta being the head Of "yVo-haw"
navigation the hotels in the hourishing
town were full to overfowing, when
Judge B-arriyed and asked the land
lord for room. The landlord greatly
regretted the fact, but there was but one
opportunity even to sleep beneath his
roof and that in a double Ded already
occupied by son of the Emerald Isle"
"a miner from the neighboring country,
who was well acquainted with Judge
BY reputation. The Judge, making
virtue Of necessity, agreed to sleep
with Pat for the night, and was shown
into the room by Boniface, who walked
Pat and told him who was to be his bed
fellow. Pat was agreed. The landlord
retired, and the Judge commenced the
double process Of undressing and remind
ing Pat Of the great honor of which he
was about to be the recipient, and at the
same time talking Of the could Coun-
thry" and preparing Pat to give him,
the Judge, bis support at the coming
election. Conversing for some time after
getting into bed, said the Judge:
'Pat, you would have remained long
time in the old country before you could
have slept with Judge, would you notz''
Yes, yer Honor said Pat, ''and !
think yer Honor would have been long
time in the 'OuId Country before ye'd
been a Judge, too r
The Judge walked up next morning
and looked at himself in the glass to see
whether bad nights rest had injured
bis looks.

To CITIZENS along the route of march:
1t is requested that you remain at your
homes as much as possible while columns
are passing by. Hostilities having cessed,
promiscuous forsging is prohibited. Nee
esssry supplies, in addition to what army
transports may provide, will be procured
from the country by purchase. Quarter
masters and Commissaries will be instruct
ed to pay cash or furnish proper vouchers.
Citizens will do we'll to aid officers COM

possible way, to apprehend and bring to !
punishment any thief or msrsuder who
may separate himself from the column.
= Every sort of precsution will be taken
by our officers to render the march order |
ly, and it is hoped that the great terror
which prevailed during active operations |
will now cease.
It being difficult to transport sufficient
rstions for an extended march, our officers |
have been requested to discourage refugees
from following the army. The ability to
travel freely in any direction now exists,
and precludes the former necessity of re-
fugees accompanying or following US.

SINKING OF THE sULrANA.

Hon. John Oovsde, of the War Com
mittee furnishes the following information
relative to the Sultans disaster. No troops
of the States east Of Ohio are lost. All
Eastern troops will be sent to Annapolis.
He says the boat was overloaded, her reg
istered capacity being 376 passengers.-
Other good boats we're st Vicksburg at the
time but the authorities would not let
them have prisoners. He thinks there is
criminslity in the matter.
There was about 1000 psroled prisoners
at Vicksburg when the Sultsns left; 5000
we're left at AndersonEille in consequence
of the railroad being destroyed between
Andersonville and jackson. They go TO
Annapolis by way of ses.
The Sultanss agent writes, that nearly

The telegraph is also in working ord 81
through to Johnston's army, and TO Sell
ma, Macon, Montgomery, and other South
ern cities. General Sherman's first news
of Wilson's successes at these places were
received over the wires running through
the heart of the rebel army. Johnston
even went 60 far as to facilitate the trans
mission of news to and from Gen. Wilson,
and begged General Sherman TO put an
immediate stop to his future devastation
Of the southern country.
The terms of Shermsn's original memo

of his army commander, and many able

are reported to have done al in their
power to prevent a reconsideration Of
these proposals. At the time the armistice
was agreed to Sherman had just received

lieved that 8 greater spirit of msgnsnimi-
