In an article with this title the Pal
Man Gazette makes some curious estt'
macs of the less sustained by Austria IN
her recent war. The Prussian "requ'si-
tons and foragiRg were as thorough a.
those of Gen. SHERMAN himself. Yet
Austria has not been crippled. The rauoh
of meat in the Prusslan army IL han a
mound daily. Let the total number OF
invaders who subsisted themselves Tor
ak weeks upon the fat OF MorSyiA sno
Silesia be stated, in round numoefs' as
100000. Suppose each invader to have
obtained daily his full half pound Of Aus
TRAN beef. Multiplying these factors to-
0sther we find that the entire quantity
Of beef consumed was $4,000 hundred
weight. This represents about 5000
head Of cattle, and a cash value Of about
S~1,6sO,O0O.
Before the war these two provinces are
supposed to have contained 10000 cat
tie. The waste Of war" then, in this
particular, Is only a little more than one
I fifteenth. Taxing the whole Austrian
| empire into the calculation, the Prussians
devoured only one OK out of every two
hundred.
The mischief TO gardens, orchards and
/ eorndelds Is serious. The passage ofsuch
immense bodies Of troops through eoun-
try villages and agricultural districts
could not but cause, and, in effect, did
cause acute suffering. But it was very
temporary. Nowhere were the people
compelled TO abandon their homes, or to
beg aid from abroad. The worst injury
however, which a war Of invasion infiicts
upon q country, apart from the LOSE oflfe,
"a the trampling down Of the grain helds.
Yet even this can easily be exaggerated.
The Pr1ssian infantry numbered two
hundred and fifty bsttalions. Suppose
that 8 battalion requires two acres for It's
eucampment-which it does not-and
that the entire army moved every day.
Then, adding in approximate estimates
Of the ground occupied by the artillery
and cavalry, there Te.s shout $4,000
scres used for camping ground during
the six weeks of the invasion. Suppose
this ground to have been IN wheat, the
crop 70 have been twenty bushels to the
acre, the market price six forms a bushel.
The damage sustained would b about
(. 5JO.O0 @ horlnz, CT about 81, CSC, 900. III
Is evident, - says the Gazette, that dam
age Ike this, which turns out to be the
most serious Of al the sorts Of dsvasta-
ton caused By great armies, is hardly
worth stEtIDg 10 comparison with the
mischief caused by E lev days Of IN
timely frost, or the want Of s few days o.
timely rain"

Hir. +. kaveiishaW, commissioner Of

msut . report OF the famine ia that

I exists, must lead him to tone down the
horrible facts, estimates the loss IF life
/ from want Of food and its consequences
at from 500,U0 % 600, 0D3, and in some
places At three fourths Of the whole pop

! official reports show the deaths 90 be still

mortality wSs BOT less severe proper
tionslly ia the adjoining district 0f Mid
nOpore, with its population Of more than
half a million. In Canaan. with
nearly 3 million Of people, the calamity
was comparatively light, tut famine, dis
ease and debility swept away thousands.
The same il. true OF ChOta Nagpore. We
have a reliable record Of the deaths Of
paupers from the fsmlne-siricken dis
tricts Of Calcutta. And to all these the
mortality in the other districts Of BEN
gal from Sanger island to Patna and the
borders to Nepaul, and we have a record
Of the loss OF life which exceeds in hor-
ror and extent that Of any one Of the
six great drouths Of India during the
last century. Before the DESTROYING an
gel tskes its final fight, the tale will
have mounted up bayOnd q million
known deaths. This Is worse than in
the great fsmine which carried off 500

daily holocaust. For the greater part Of
that million Of deaths has occurred, not

The charge OF Judge Underwood TO the
grand jury in Richmond on Monday is
without a parallel. With its whining
TW martyrdom, its bitter curses OF
the defunct ConfederRcy, and its foul
mOuthed abuse Of Richmond, 1.-THE beau
tifuI and abandoned seat of the rebel
lion, looking as comedy and specious as 6,
gOodly apple or a gilded sepulchre /;
where bloody treason tOuTished its whirI
OF scorpions; where the slave-trade SO
long held high carnival where the pres;I
has found the lowest depths OF
proligaey where RIGHTEOUSNESS had
ruled until probably q majority o.
births were illegitimate; where the
fashionable and popular pulpit had
been so prostituted that its fulfilled min
istering gay LOthsrios generally recon-
mended the worship of what they most
respected, pleasure, property and poweT;n
with its pagan and NEUROLOGICAL ideas
Of Bacchus, MammOn and Mars ;" its
illusions to "the awful and atheistic
past " of Richmond, and one building of
everlasting granite that stood un.
harmed amid the great confiagrstion
with its splutteriDg pOetical quotations
with its e~cstatic applause of the "leadeI
and father of successive congresses,n
acknowledged to be so with " defer
ence which neither Clay, Fox, the Pitts,
nor ever Cicero had ever known -
with all its angry and ridiculous
rhetoric, this charge is the s~trangest
mixture of drivel and furious nonsense
which ever disgraced the bench. In
getting himself up ambitiously to "act
web his part" Judge Underwood must
have had a confused notion of taking for
mo1ala TafFrevyg parGOu RrowuIOu upd
Robert Shallow, Esq, justice of the
peace, and Coram and Custalorum, and
Ruto Corum, too. None but some of
Shakspeare's queerest original characters,
if revived to-day, could utter such q far
of rant and fustian as this UMPIRE
cedented charge. 1t is certainly unique
and additional p~eculiarities of the oeca.
sion were the presence of five black men
in the jury box, and the appointment OF
John Minor Bolts as foreman Of the
Jury.
