The C1ii3cdoraae Dead

The Richmond Examiner. of Tues.
clay, has q letter from Mr.. Thomas
q. Eiiis, resident Of the HonnvToa
Cemetery Company, from which we
learn that the number of the dead of
the Confederate army buried at Hollv-
wood, Is l,O75. A register was kept.
III which we noted the name, rank.
company, regiment and State of eacl,
soldier buried. Every precaution
was taken to insure regularity and
system In the interments, because s.
was anticipated that after the war
many removals wouid be made.
Mr. Ellis says that there is as much
probability of certainty in regard TO
identity, Or the obtaining of any ner-
tlcular body asked for, among those
buried in the Hollywood Cemetery.
as exists, perhaps anywhere else
under similar circumstances.
He then makes the following sup-
gestion in regard to these graves.
''The view I have is this: With few
exceptions, the dead of the army are
buried together in rows, near to each
other, admitting of but a limited
number of walk-ways, Oh avenues.
| These graves l would have simply
remonlded and t,lrfed, with small,
neat maidstone to each, the surname
carved upon the stone, and unde. the
name number, referring to the num-
her in the register containing all the
particulars known or given, as above
stated. The expense OF such an i'm
provement as this is easily within the
control Of the ladies of Richmond.
even in our present depressed condi-
ton, and, with You, I confidently
entrust the subject to their hearts
and hands
The E.romi"a,' had already called
the attention Of the Richmond ladies
to this work
There is another great cemetery in

larger number We're buried than at
Hollywood. The total number of
soldiers inferred IN Richmond. du-
ring the war, canuot fall much short
of 10000.

The fNalnin Mills.

The editor of the Augusta ConSi-
tttio"alist has been ON q trip to
Charleston, and thus notices the Kal-
mia Mills:
"The Kalmia Mills, located be-
tween Graniteville and Aiken, about
nine miles from Augusta, on the line
of road, are in process Of erection
These mills will be. when completed.
perhaps the most extensive in the
Southern country. The location is
most advantageous, from its CONT
guilty to the road and close connection
to Augusta and Charleston. The
Charleston Nssrs contains some in
teresting particulars, from which we
learn that the mills are being erected
by chartered company, whose capi-
tai is $500, 900, but they have the pri-
vilege of increasing it to $1,000. 600.
"Ihe company owns about 5000
acres of land on Horse Creek, be
tween lands of Bath Paper Mills and
Graniteville Manufacturing Compa-
ny. On the land there is ample water
power for all purposes Of the compa-
ny, anu numerous springs Of the
pnrest water, which is Indispensable
IN bleaching cloth and making paper.
These springs, at one place. form Il
body of water twenty feet deep. and
so pure that the smallest object can
be seen ut tho bottom.
'' All the buildings are being con
structed i'll the plainest but most du-
rable form OF brick, with tin and
slate roofs, and are in the most i'm
proved modern style The factory
buildings are Immediately on the
South Carolina Railroad. nine miles
from Augusta, and the dwelling
houses on high table land, few hun
dred yards distant. Both houses and
factories will be lighted with gas, and
the factories heated by steam. All
the machinery is driven by water
power. The situation is one of the
very best that can be obtained, both
on the score of convenience and
health
The machinery in the cotton mill
consists of 10000 throstle spindles.
to spin the warp, and 10000 sclf-act-
ing mul spindles, to spin the filling,
and 500 looms, to work up their pro
ductions. The company also proposes
to add bleaching machinery, to bleach
their cloth, which will mainly consist
Of the finer grades of shirting, print
goods and long cloth.
There is one large eighty four
inch Fondunierpaper mill, formaking
printing paper, and one forty-two
inch machine, for making the finest
writing paper All the machinery is
the very best that can be got in Eng
land, and has been al specially manu-
factured to the order of the Presi-
dent of the company, who went
abroad, last summer, for this pur-
pose.
Everything will be finished and
III working order within the next four
months"

NEWSPAPER PosTAaE.-There is q pro-
position before Congress- to require pre-
payment Of the postage on oil newspapers
at the Offices where they are mailed.
We know Of no Inconvenience to the
post.ofice. nor loss of revenue, from the
present system, that calls for q change
which will cause so great inconvenience
to newspaper publishers. The general
adoption of the cash system in newspaper
subscriptions, prevents the leaving of
the papers of delinquent subscribers to
accumulate in the Rost-office, and insures
the payment Of the postage except in
extraordinary contingencies. The amount
the post-of6ce loses by papers being un-
called for must be trifling; the present
system Of collection is more convenient
than the other to all parties. and it is
difficult to suppose sufficient reason for
change. @
We know not tho manner in which
prepayment is to be made, nor can We
think of any practicable. II by stsmps.
it is questionable if the publisher OF
daily papers Of large circulation could
stamp them in the short space of time
between going to press and the depart
ure of the mails. If by prepayment by
the year or quarter. the post-oflices in
the large cities would need an extra
force of clerks to keep the accounts oi
the daily expirations and daily new sub
scriptions and each newspaper house
would have to keep clerk especially
for postage accounts.
II the post-office is made for the pub
lie convenience. the present system ol
collecting postage on newspaper is suf1i
cient. Let US be satisfied with we'll
enough Cincinnati Gazette.

We have q pamplet before us. says the
Leavenworth Conservative, written by
D. NJ. Richardson, of Detroit, which pro
fesses to demonstrate how specie payments
may be resumed within three years, with.
out contraction of the currency. The
writer proposes an amendment to the
Constitution be made to enable the Gov
ernment to pat an export duty Of ten
cents per pound on cotton, payable in
gold. which will in three years place
1890. 600. 900 Of gold in the Treasury.
with which to redeem that amount of

Of 1859. says this pamphlet. reached s..
l9S.07 bales of ginned cotton. of 400
pounds each. The crop of 1865 is esti.
mated at 2. loo. 900 bales. 1t is fair to
estimate the crop of 1866. at 2.750. 900
bales, ss labor has become better organ
lied. and the extreme high prices will
greatly stimulate production. The aver
age export is generally about three.
fourths Of the crop. Allow that 2.000.-

$50. .O00, 900. The production for 1867
will reach %. 100000 bales. of which. at
the ratio Of export above named, 2,625.-
600 bales will be exported. yielding to
the Treasury sl05. 900. 900. The product
of 1868. will probably amount to f.
500. 900. the expu.t Of which will be
about 1876. 900 bales. and the tax would
