FIRST IN THE FIELD.-Messrs. Taylor
& Ortons, of the Lower Saw Mill, are
about commencing operations for the
season. Their mill is in excellent repair;
their workmen are persons who thorough
ly understand their business and they
intend to keep on hand and saw to order
all kinds of lumber that are called for.
They challenge any other mill to saw as
smooth lumber as theirs. Carpenters
and others who have worked it, say they
have seen none in the State 80 smooth
and easy to work.

The Rolls of the Confederate Army.

The New York Tribune publishes an ao-
ssract. from documents which fell into the hands
Of the United States at the downfall OF the
Confederacv. of the returns of all the Confed-
crate armies. from their organization IN the
summer of 1861 down TO the spring OF 1860.
IL appears from these documents that the num-
her of Confederate troops at the east and the
west was throughout nearly equal, and that,
with the exception Of September, 1868, when
Loncstreet, with his corps, was sent from Nir-
cinia 10 Tennessee, no considerable body OF
soldiers was ever transferred from one army TO
she other The greatest number on the Con-
federate muster-rolls at any one time was $50,
600, and this was when every male from IL to
so was enrolled in the army. The greatest
number present for duty at any one time in
the whole Confederacy and that for only brief
period. was SOC. 900. There were not three
periods of month when they had 250,O0O.-
At only three periods did the Army OF Northern
Virginia, under Lee, number 100000 men ut
for duty. :,
In October. 1861, when Mcclellan confronted
Johnston at Manassas, the actual force of john
ston was less than 4O, 900, and in December,
Der only $4,000. When, in April, 1862,
Mcclellan landed on the Peninsula, MagruGer
had $1,000 men; and when Mcclellan assall-
ed Yorktown the Confederates had on the
whole Peninsula less than $4,000. When he
reached the Chickahomony the Confederates
had at Richmond but AZ 900, increased at the
close Of May TO about 10000 electives. On
the 10Th of June when Lee began his move
ment against Mcclellan, the Confederates num-
bered little more than 100 900 effective men.
When, after the battle Of Gettysburg, Meade
reached the Rsppahannock, Lee had 4l,OOO
men. The UonfeGeracy was at its highest
point of military efficiency in the carly summer
of 1868, when the movement into Pennsylva-
MIA was commenced. Every able-bodied man,
except those in the workshops and civil depart
ments, was enrolled seven out often were actu-
