During the Mexican war one Of tho English
newspapers hurriedly announced an important
item of news from Mexico, that General Pillow
and thirty seven of his men had been lost in a
bottle lbattle,l Some other paper informed the
public, not long ago, that a man In brown
suftout was yesterday brought before the court
on a charge Of having stolen small OK (box)
from ladys workEbox. The stolen property
was found inhis waistcoat pocket. Arat traftl
says another paper, descending the river, came

Reduction of expenditures.


The New York Herald, in-reviewingthe con-
dition of the country, as compared with the
war times, says:
The first paragraph of the last annual re-
mort of the Secretary of War presents IN the So
Der statistics of history the substantial evlden-
ces of this national strength and elasticity. He
saws that the military appropriations OF the
last Congress amounted to S5l6, 6,24O, l3l, and
that the estimates for the next fiscal year, alter
a careful revision, amount to S33, ,S14, ,46l that
the armies Of the United States on the lst OF
Nav, 1865, numbered one million five hundred
and sixteen men. and that over eight hundred
thousand troops have since been mustered out
of the public service and restored TO the pursuits
of peace.
+" Next comes the Secretary Of the Navy with
his report. wherein we find that ''in the several
blockading squadrons in January last there
were employed, exclusive Of other duties, All
vessels and 2,455 guns, and that there are Low
but /" % vessels remaining on the coast with a
total of 210 guns = that g from 1000 men at
the commencement of the rebellion the number
i'm the naval service) was increased to 5l,5OO
men at its close, in addition to 1880 artissns
and laborers employedin thenavy yards, against
:. .S44 previously in the pay of thegovernmert.
Itnext appears that hisimmense array OF The
war establishment has since the fall OF Fort
Fisher. been reduced from over five hundred to
one hundred and seventeen vessels, and ttat
the work of reduction, as in the army, Is silll
going on.

POETICAL.
One Year Ago.

What stars have faded from our sky
What hopes unfolded but to die
What dreams so fondly pondered Ger
Forever lost the hues they wore7
How like a death-knell, sad and slow,
Tolls through the soul, g one year ago."
Where is the face we lovedto greet,
The form that graced the freside seat,
The gentle smile, the winning way,
That blessed onr life-path day by day?
Where led those accents soft and low
That thrilled our hearts Zone year ago!"
All! vacant is the fireside chair,
The smile that won. no longer there;
From door and hall, from porch and lawn,
The echo of the voice is gone,
And we who lingcr only know
How much was lost "one year ago?'
Reside her grave the marble white
Keeps silent guard by dav and night
Serene she sleeps, nor heeds the tread
0ffootsteps o 'cr her lowly bed;
Her puselcss breast no mere may know r
The pangs of life " one year ago"
But why repine A few more wears,
A few more broken sighs and tears,
And we, enlisted with the dead,
Shall follow where her steps have fed;
Tothat far world rejoicing go
To which she passed "one year ago?'
