What the South has Lost,

Matthew L. Maury, ex-director Of
the National Observatory at Wash
ington, ex-rebei, and present coi9Silu
i'll Mexico, is now in Paris. en- 49,
in peti;ioning the rebel synpathizers
in England and France for The relief
of destitute Southerners. He has
written a three column letter to the
London Woa>.1ng Ucruid, in which he
estimates the amount ofrhe pecuniary
LOSSES incurred by the Southern peo-
pie during the late war to be not less
than 7,O00.OOO,OOO, viz: BY enan-
cipation, SO 100000, 900; expenses of
the war, $4,000 900; destruction
OF private property, 100000, 900;
additional taxation imposed by the
victor for payment of the Federal war
debt, say Slo,0oO,000, per annum,
equal to : X per cent interest on ST.
o,O0o,O00; total, $1,000, OQO, 600.
This loss falls upon less than eight
millions OF whites, who have, more
over, III addition, to contribute large
!y towards the support of the four
millions of blacks who have been sud
denly turned loose among them, aud
who, for the present, at least, are in
capable of caring for Themselves
This S70,00d,000,00d of money was
the accumulated wealth of centuries
it constituted nearly the whole in
dusterial plant and capital Of the
south. Many years must necessarily
e!apse before the South can entirely
recover from this terrible blow. Her
ministerial and mechanical interests
are for time paralyzed, and oaly by
the exercise OF wisdom, prudence and
loyalty to the Government can the
people ever recover their olden pros
perity and wealth.

kHhere is natural fear of Yellow
Fever in the hot months, but if the
sanitary regulations continue to be
as well enforced through the Sumlner.
rs they are now we will have good
! chance of escaping entirely.
Our ladies have determined not TO
be- left behind in patriotism by the
ladies OF the other Southern States,
and have organized themselves into
society to take care Of the Conf.d-
crate dead buried here, and appoint
ed the 10th of June as the day on
which TO 90 cen masse" to decorate
their graves, that day was chosen az
particularly the anniversary of the
BATH" of Secesaipnviile in which
many Char!estouians fell
The strangest case of suicide oc-
carred yesterday, which, | ever re-
member. a freedman was seen to
take heavy STONE and PIT it into a
boat. then tie 4 rope around it Sc
curely and paddle out in,o the river
where the water was about 80 feet
deep, then throw the stone oyeboard
and instantly follow it with a jerk,
the other end Of the rope was tied
around his own neck. Alas the
poor negro.
The crops about thi. section "
country have been Very much injured
by recent heavy rains and the chance
of cotton very bad; seed, in a great
many instances, being dccayed.

The prospects of the growing crop

past week, and estimates Of the prob
able yield of the same, have been
generally reduced it is no longer 10
be doubted that the plant is suffering
greatly from wet, and large tracts of
land have been abandoned by our
planters, as they found themselves
without an adequate forcs to keep
the fields clear from the grass, now
sprinsing up with such rapidly that
the young plant can hardly be dis
tinguIshed from the weed, and many
farmers who expected 10 secure a
good crop, are compelled to abandon
part TO save the balance ofit. Vhese
reports, combined with the heavy
falling Of in our receipts, tended to
strengthen holders and many large
lists are still withheld from the mar
ket the weather, this week, as far
as we could learn, has not improved
the growing crop, and many sections

Why isn't he martyr from his head to his

the North, the South, or the Wcst-want no
thing else but to get him into that category,
and then what a capital candidate for the Pre-
sidency will he make the leader of "a brave
nation struggling for their liberties!' We GER
tainly do not thirst for his blood-wc are not
for racking, hanging, drawing or quartering
him-we are not for shutting him up in a dark
