THE STRENGTH AND LOSSES OF THE
REBEL ARMIES.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune furnishes very interesting let
ter in relation to the strength Of the
Rebel armies in 1868, 1854 and 1865.
There are very copious tables, giving
the monthly reports. From this ac-
count it appears that the greatest
strength of LEE in 1852 was in the
month OF June, when he had 100000
men eft for duty" In that month the
seven days battles We're fought with
MCCLELLAN, and in July the number tit
for duty was 69,559, showing loss OF
killed and wounded in those battles of
over 81 900. The Rebel army was inn
mediately reinforced for the great move
ment Northward, which resolted in the
battles of Groventon, Chantilly and
Antietam. 1t was raised to 95, 900 men
in August. In September, after that
campaign, the return was $4,000, show
ing loss of $4,000 men. In June,
1868, LEE had again 100000 men, and
moved northward in his campaign
against Pennsylvania, which culminat-
ed in the battle of Gettysburg. In July
his force fit for duty was only 1,ls5,
showing of loss of nearly $4,000 men
killed, wounded and deserters. There
is no return of the strength of this army
in May, 1864, when GRANT crossed the
I Rapidan. There were 52,626 fit for
duty in April, and 81, 1859 in June. At
all these times the nominal force was
much greater. For instance, in Nov
ember, 1864, the rolls called for l 81 1926
men, but only SO, 200 were noted as fit
for duty. In February, 1865, the force
fit for duty was 59,O94, but it is believ-
ed by this writer that when LEE re-
treated from Petersburg, in April, he
had no more than $4,000 men.
The highest number of men whom
Pemberton had in 1862 fit for duty was
29,17e. They dwindled to 1921 in
August. Beauregard took command
of that army in September, 1862, and
held it until the ensuing month of
March, when there were 2s,672 fit for
duty. Jones and Hardee had subse-
quent command, and sometimes having
little more than IL 900 men. The De-
partment of South Virginia and North
Carolina was at different times under
command of Gatlin, Holmes, Smith,
French, Hill, Whitney, Pickett, Beau
regard, Bragg and others. Its greatest
strength was under Longstreet, March
1868, being 45,1Os men. Hood COM
menced his campaign against Tennes-
see in August 1864, with 1925 men
for duty. In December this whole ac-
tive strength was 23,O53.
On the goth of July, 1862, the total
number in the Rebel Armies of the East
and West was 4l2, 900; in September,
it was $4,000. In March, 1868, it was
$4,000. In July 1868, it was $4,000.
In April, 1864, it was 100000. In Au-
gust, $4,000. In November, $4,000.
Altogether, it is estimated that 100000
men were at different times in the Re-
bel armies. Of that number it is be
lieved that fully one half are now dead,
and large number MANNED so as to be
unfit for labor. In four years, it is es-
timated that the South lost fully one,
third of its adult male population. 1t
was grievious sin that caused this
loss, and most grievous has been the
punishment.-Pha. Enquirer.

BLACKBERRY WNE-As the season for
this healthy and excellent fruit is now upon
US, and in view of the fact of their abundance
in this section, We would advise our friends
to take advantage of the opportunity offered
and put up large supply of blackberry
wine. 1t is easily made, and requires but
little outlay. We advise this course in view
Of the medical qualities possessed by this
wine, and the purity and superior qualities
for which it is characterized.
The following recipe will be found useful
to those who may desire to manufacture this
article for family use: "Take gallon of
ripe berries and bruise thoroughly so as to
iberate all juice; to which add one quart of
boiling water Let this stand for twenty
four. hours. occasionally stirring it; then
strain off the clear liquor, and put two lbs.
of sugar to every gallon of the clear juice,
and cork it up, and let it stand until Octo-
Der, when it will be ready for use To pre-
vent the bottles breaking it will be well to
draw the corks occasionally to allow the
escape of any gas which might FORM"

There cometh glad tidings Of joy at all,

When we enter into that future world, our
lives will be what we have made them here.
Every act of dishonesty, every qualification
of sel1shness, every exercise OF unhallowed
passions enters into the very fibre of your
nature, and no sudden preparation for death
can remove it. You must carry it with you.
The hour before you die cannot be used to
destroy the work of your life. Its nearness
to death will give it especial value.
Alady, who had read of the extensive
manufacture of odometers to tell how far a
carriage had been run, said she wished some
Connecticut genius would event an instru-
ment to tell how far husbands had been in
the evening when they just step down to the
postofice.

HARD ON THE OLD TAR STATE.-At the
battle of Kinston, the N. G. junior reserves
lMade up oflads of eighteen,) were sent to
force the crossing of Southwest Greek and
drive the enemy away, to make the passage
ofother troops. This they did very hand.
somcly, but encountering severe fire, a
portion of one regiment sought safer place.
As they were streaming to the rear, they met
the Alabama boys and were greeted with
shonts of laughter. A general officer, in no
laughing mood at their behavior, took steps
to stop the disorder, and with his own hands
seized one of the 4fugitives.
