the close of the war at 1000, 900, to which
it adds 100000 bales not accounted for in
published estimates No doubt can be en-.
tertaiued of the influence which all this a.
mount of cotton has had over the money and
other markets, and it gives US an idea of
what will be accomplished in the way of
clearing the public debt, reducing the prem
iun on gold, and regulating and strength.
ening the commercial interests of the coun-
try, should measures be taken to place the
South in favorable condition for deriving
full benefit from her soil.
- The whole number of men in the Uni.
ted States army from April, 1861, to April,
1865, was 100000, the State of New
York alone furnishing 464,l56. The en-.
tire number of men in the Confederate ar.
my from the first to the last of war amoun-
ted only to 100000. At the close of the
war the United States had an army of
100000 men. A statement, compiled
from the official records of the Confederate
War Department, published for the first
time twelve months ago in the New York
Tribune, from which it was compiled into
Richmond paper soon after, but recently
republished by the Chicago Tribune as
something that only now had been allowed
to escape from the reticent files of the State
Department at Washington, shows that in
February, 1865, a month before the final
battles of the war, the whole of the Confed-
crate forces, on both sides of the Mississippi
River, amounted to 156,500 men.

BURoLARY.-An Intellectual attempt
was made on Tuesday night to rob
the residence Of Mr.. II. p. Gage, on
Sandusky street. The burglar sue
ceeded by means Of ladder, in effect
ing an entrance into the second story
OF the house, but as the upper rooms
were not yet finished, the door at
the foot of the stairway was locked,
which brought him to q sudden halt.
Mrs. Gage was up caring for sick
child and hearing a noise, awakened
Mr.. q. who went to the front door
and looking through the glass, saw
man coming down the ladder. The
door having swelled prevented its
being Immediately opened and the
thief taking alarm, fed before M r. G.
could get to him through the side
door.
Our citizens should prepare them.
selves for these troublesome scoun-
drels and if possible, treat them to a
"blue pill" A large number of rob.
berries have been committed in the
neighboring towns, and we have
been peculiarly favored in not having
received any very extensive visits
from them.

EVERY SATURDAY.-This Weekly
is, in our opinion, precisely what it
claims to be, a journal of choice read
ing selected from current literature.
The editor has the range of all the
English and Continental Reviews,
Magazines and first-class Weeklies,
which press into their service the
ablest, wisest, and wittiest writers OF
Europe. From this almost immense
storehouse, he selects that which he
judges best adapted to suit the taste
and intelligence of the American peo.
pie.
Each number being complete in
itself, it is just the the thing for trav.
elers and each number is of such
sterling merit that it is just the thing
for those who stay at home. Who
ever wishes the choicest and freshest
foreign periodical literature, must

In our contract with NJ. W. M. Il

ry to supply, and far the largest ex.
perlence as manufacturers) to abide
by the prices which they should fix
upon, 50 as to secure uniformity of
price in all sections of the country,
so we have no alternative but to ad.
vance prices as above, and our small
profits during the past year, in Dor.
portion to the amount of business we
have done, render us not very reluct,
ant to do so. Fortunately we have
recently made improvements that
render our Washers well worth the
the advanced price, and their great
durability, together with clothes saw
ling, make them the best of invest
ments for the household, at even a
higher price.
But even at the advanced price,
those who really make the most clear
profit, in proportion to the capital in,
vested, are the purchasers, for they
get the worth of their money back
epery year, in the clothes saving, in
addition to the saving of labor, and
perhaps the saving of life-at leasI

Clark Co. having made preparation
for big dinner selected one of his
finest turkeys to boil. Dinner time
came and with it the turkey, but to

thrown out, and the turkey eating
some of them, they had taken all the
