From Virginia.
Capt. Rising favors US with the perusal
of letter from Hart. F. Averill (late oi
Pr. du Chen and McGregor.) HART. was
at Hatcher's Run about the middle oi
March. By permission of the Captain we
extract:
You have become cognizant of the fact
that we made a move to this place, where
We expect to remain until we are called to
administer to the Rebs. the last sound
thr.sh;ns, ~ the l..t .t.--;~s =" tho lac,
sad relics of the southern confederacy.-
There may be some up your way who doubt
that the confeds. are now hunting round
for the last ditch with "right smart git, :"
but tell you they are nearly pushed to the
wall, if there ever was possibility of such
thing So far as they are concerned,
Gabriel may as well blow his horn as to-
wait! Desertion from them is huge and
''still they come'-some Of them have to
come id still too, or they would get
"blue pill' put right smack into their
neither intcguments.
A few days since a remnant of a CON.
pany came in with their captain at the
head, SO in all. They left only an Order.
" to call the roll next morning he must
have congratulated himself that day with
'nothing to do" A party of o half dozen
came outside tteir picket line with muk
team, for a load Of wood they consulted
awhile and finally managed to get their
team frightened O and 10 play it right the
teamster was working like the devil 10
Mary Magdalcu to stop the team, so as to
prevent their own pickets from firing on
them Finally they got out Of range and
drove like Jehu into our camp. They are
actually deserting faster than they can get
recruits from all quarters, niggers and all.
swell, It we don't stay here long, it is
not because we have had no hard work
we have built winter quarters for the third
time since the last Of November, and have
made two "moves" in the most infamous
weather. Do not infer that am complain

ever, am "war Democrat" and an in
my place and out Of the draft.
l will close this hurried letter and attend
to "rations:" this is subject that interests
us all. Ihear the word mentioned many
times during week or day, but when
the cook says "fall in" am not at al
backward, although, as you well know, a

occasionally have to deal with ons kind Of

This peculiar ration the boys seem to enjoy
immensely, particularly if they arc doing

ARCH KEEP STEP THE UNION


The Appropriation for the War.
Mr.. Cox, of Ohio, on the I'd ultimo
made speech in Congress on the bill to
create three new committees in the House
on financial and kindred matters. He
gave in the course Of his remarks, the fol.
lowing suggestive statistics:
Whereas before the war we scarcely ex.
pended mo, e than $40, 600, 900 year, now,
during the Eve sessions of the last two
Congresses, there has been an average ap.
preparation Of at least $500, ,O0O, 900 per
session. This statement which hold in
Imy hand shows that during the frst and
extra session Of the thirty. seventh Con.
grsss there came appropriation bills from
the committee Of Ways and Means amount
ing to $226,96l ,457,99. I say nothing
now Of the loan and other fiscal bills eman.
ating from that committee. During the
second session of that Congress bills were
reported to the amount of $S83, ,O29, ,9S7,.
IA; and during the last session of that
Congress 1852 1927 1929 80. During the
first session Of the thirty.eighth Congress
appropriation bills were reported amount.
ing to $7ss, ,124,02l "a, and during the
present session I suppose it would be .
fair estimate to take the appropriation Of
the last session of the thirty seventh Con.
gress, say 5000, ,O00, ,0OOl
These are appropriation bills alone.-
They are stupendous, and but poorly sym
bolize the immense labors which the inter.
nal revenue, tariff, and loan bills imposed
on the committee. Neither do they repre-.
sent the actual appropriation; for the house
has frequently increased these bills enor.
meusly. The aggregate Of these appropri-
alton bills reaches the astounding amount
Of $S,770, ,673, ,296 81, or nearly four thous.
and million dollars! For the army alone
the appropriation bills during the Ave past
seasons are over three thousand millions

All were pleased to see the distinguished

Of equal taxation.
