F TnHg TAtLFArx presented by the ladies of this
city, on Wednesday night for the benefit Of
the Pastor Of the Methodist Church, attract
ed large, fashionable and sppreciative au-
dienee. The performances were what the perform
ances Of the Clarksvile ladies always are--eegsnt,
exquisite, brilliant-both in conception and exc
cuton. The pictures wer e excellent. The drspery
was highly appropriate yet, at the same time, very
beautiful. The fair actors were as lovely and as
loveable As the Houris OF Mahomets Paradise, and
the singing was superb We would like to des-
cribe the performances in detail, as it is only by
full description that justice could be done, or
adequate idea conveyed to those who were not
present Of the exceeding beauty Of the whole
affair, but our space forbids We were not present
at the performance on Tuesday night and can,
therefore, only speak from heresay, bat from the
tone Of unmeasured praise in which IL is spoken Of
we judge that it must have been very fine.

Deaths hY The WAR.

It is stated that official returns in the
War Office show that the deaths in the
army since the war broke out, so far as
heard from, with the estimate made for
those returns not yet handed in, n,includiDg
starved prisoners, &c, will aggregate about
three hundred and t,oenty fve thousand !
These are the the deaths since. If we
add the permanently disabled, according
to the smallest proportion warranted by
experience, we see at what terrible sac
rifce of life and limb the nation has pre-.
served its existence against the attacks of
upprovoked traitors. If we were not the
most merciful people in the world, the
accountability Of these gigantic criminals
would be far more deeply felt than it is.
Where else would such an influential in
stigator of wholesale bloodshed as John
Mitchell be allowed to resume with impu-
nity his teachings among the very people
whom he had tried his utmost for four
years to injure and destroy? Where else
would the authors of such an awful de-
struction of life have the audacity to claim
exemption from punishment on the
ground that they caused it on such scale
as to make it war instead of murder
Gus plot ? But we believe that the more
our people reflect on the pass, the more
they will feel the true outlines of these
conspirators, however much they may be
disposed to humanity or averse from ven.
geance. Journal.

the President and the Secretary of the
Treasury have been in consultation as to
the best manner of dividing up the
Southern States into convenient districts
for the assessment and collection of taxes.
Thus far, Virginia has been divided into
four, North Carolina three, Georgia four,
Alabama three, Mississippi three, Texas
four. Tennessee has been cut north and
South into two districts, but will be sub
divided into five or six more. Florida.
Louisiana and Arkansas are yet to be d.

A TOUCHING INoIDENT.-The Chica-
60 Tribune of recent date has the fol-
loving touching incident:
"Hon. John Covode was in this city on
his return from Southern tour yesterday.
He had lost two sons in the war, as he
supposed, two years ago, and falling in
with a member of one of their regiments
who had just been released from the reb-
ell prison at Andersonville, Ca, made in
quiry preparatory to asking where his
boy was buried. Judge of his surprise
when he was answered: "You must be
prepared to learn, Mr.. Covode, that Jacob
(the youngest SOM could not come with
u.s." "Is my boy alive then p he in
quired. "Why, yes, They could not
Kill Jake. He had too much soul. He
was bound to live. He would have come
with us but he could not raise twenty
FIVE cents, the price they demanded to
release u.s." "Whether / would have
cried more" said the patriotic old man to
US, "to have heard the tidings that | had
lost another son than l did on receiving
this intelligence is doubtful" The son
is DOW on his way home by the way of
Richmond.
