Provost MarshaI's Bureau,

The report of Provost Marshal General
Fry, which has just been forwarded to- the
War Department, states that the Bureau
began its operations in March, 1868 that
the military strength of the loyal States
at the close OF the war was 2.254 ,063 men
able to bear arms, not including ], l,000,5l
soldiers then actually under arms that
during the war 1921 officers and 90,S6S
men were killed in the action or died
from wounds, and 2,32l officers aud 182,-
329 men died from disease, making a to-
tai of 2S0,730 deaths. The tables of
wounded are not yet completed. 1,120,-
62l men were raised for the army by the
Bureau, at an average cost of SO 81 per
man, while the average cost of raising the
1,856,09 men recruited before the Bu-
reau was established, was 50 1 OIL per man.
This calculation does not include the
bounties given even before or after the
establishment of the Bureau. From COM
mutations paid By drafted men, for exemp-
tions, S28 1866, ,3l3 rs were o6taiped, out
OF which sum all the expenses Of the Bu.
reau were paid, and on JANUARY l, 1866,
the sum of SO, 800, ,I05 81 remained to the
credit OF the United States. The Provost
Marshal General says the success OF the
Bureau was due to-':first, the hearty CO.
operation of the civil officers of the differ
ent States, sustained by the elevated 10y
ally and earnestness of the masses of the
people second, the judicious Legislation
Of Congress

CIRCULATING THE WRoNG PAPER.-Ata o
recent Temperance meeting an amusing
incident took place. A strong exhorta-
ton had been delivered by a speaker
present, and the President requested the
Secretary to pass around the pledge for
signatures, and taking from his picket
what he supposed was ~ the document,
he, without looking at it, gave it to the
Secretary for that purpose. A large
number of names were enrolled of both
ladies and gentlemen present, and the
document returned. It was observed by
the Secretary, while passing around the
paper, that considerable :ittering was
to be observed among the ladies, who
took the precaution to read the contents
of the paper, while those who did not
read it, and desired to sign, did so. Af.
ter going through the congregation, the
Secretary on his way back, looked at
the paper to see what was the cause of
the amusement, when it was revealed to
him that, instead Of the temperance
pledge, he had passed around and recei-
ved signatures to . document setting
forth the pedigree of a celebrated STALL
%a@z
ion.

General D. H. Hill, in a late number
of The Land We Love, says.
We had two particular friends in the
old United States army the one born
north of the SusQuehannah, the other
south of it. Both adhered to the United
States Government. The Northern man
took the field and fought US obstinately !;
the Southern man kept out of harms
way, but secured good paying position
as teacher After the war we wrote to
the latter brief business letter, which
he refused to answer. The former, learn
ing that We had fallen into the hands Of
the "Blessed Bureau" and other benevo-
lent institutions, sent US kind invita-
tion to bring the wife and little rebs to
spend the summer months with him. 1t

the first of January next, you win have
scme trouble and expense. We have
already published in the Spartan, how
and when certain papers-such as Deeds,
Mortgages, Notes, Receipts, &C., are to
be stamped. Instruments of writing
dated before October l, 1862, do not re-
quire stamp. All such papers dated
since that time, require to be- stamped,

We think safe plan would be, to bring
your papers here, and some kind gentle
man will tell you all about it7-and put
your stamps on. We have again called

needing our advice at once. 1t is truly

LEASING LANps:-Anidst the Hentaag.
ling alliances" of political annoyances iE,
is we'll to turn aside and consider these
Interests which directly involve the wei
fare of our District. The best method
in regard to the lands, as suggested By
the Richmond Times, is without doubt
to lease all surplus parts. Land owners
in some parts of this District have mum:
bers ofacres they cannot use. If this
surplus land were laid off. in small farms
and leased, say for FIVE, ten, fifteen or
twenty years, it would eventually be.a
benefit to the owner himself. We heard
a planter few days ago say that next
year he was determined to make a-thotE-
sand pounds of cotton to the acre. His
plan will be to cultivate, less land than
heretofore and TO manure that highly.
If lands were leased it would give these
who lease shern an opportunity 10 enter
largely into intelligent farming. Let poll.
tics alone and look to the permanent
material prosperity fthe District -.
