TIE MUsrER-RoLTs OF TIE Con
fEDERArE ARMY.-Thc New York
Tribune publishes an abstract, from
documents which fell into the hands
of the United States at the downfall
of the Confedcracy, of the returns OF
all the Confederate armies, from their
organization in the summer OF 1851
down to the spring of 1865. 1t ap-
pears from these documents that the
number of Confederate troops at the
East and West was throughout nearly
equal, and that, with the exception
of September, 1868, when Longstrcct,
with his corps, was sent from Virginia
to Tennessee, no considerable body
of soldiers was ever transferred from
one army to the other. The greatest
number on the Confederate muster
rolls at any one time was $4,000,
and, this was when every male from
seventeen to fifty was enrolled in the
army. The greatest number present
for duty at ANY one time i'll the whole
Confederacy, and that for only brief
period, was 100000. At only three
periods of a month when they had
250,0OO. At only three periods did
the army of Northern Virginia, un-
der Lee, number 100000 men fit for
duty.
In October, 1861, when Mcclellan
confronted Johnson at Manassas, the
actual force of johnson was less than
10000, and in December, only ST.
600. When, in April, 1862, McClcl-
Ian landed on the Peninsula, Magru-
der. had $4,000. When he reached
the Chickahominy, the Confcdcratcs
had at Richmond but 47,000, in
creased at the close af May to about
10000 cffcctivcs. On the Goth Of
June, when Lee began his movement
against Mcclellan, the Confcdcratcs
numbered q little more than 100000
effective men. When, after the battle
of Gettysburg, Meade reached the
Rappahannock, Ice had 4l,co0 men.
, The Confedcracy was at its highest
point of military efficiency in the car
ly summer of 1868, when the move
mcnt into Pennsylvania was COM
menccd. Every ablc-boiied man., cx-
cept. those in the workshops a,lf'civ-
il departments, was enrolled; seven
out of ten were actually present, and
six out Of ten were "prcsent for duty"
When the Confederate army, in April,
1865, withdrew from Petersburg, it
us supposed not to have numbered, all
told, 35, 900 men. .-Bmltimorc Sim.

A FILIBUsTERING EXPEDITION
AGAINST NIExIco.-It is stated that
formidable flibustcr organization
exists in New York city, with ramif-
cations at New Orleans, having for its
purpose an invaston of Mexico, with
"a view, to the. displacement of Juazez
by General Ortcga, in order to ad-
vance certain ultcrior schemes lock-
ing to the Endorsement by this Gov
.ernment of some S25, 100000 or $780,
100000 Mexican bonds. Referring
to tkis proposed expedition, tue New
York correspondent Of the Philadcl-
phia Ledger writes:
It's the same organization which
paid the expenses OF the Santa Anna
expedition. Had Santa Anna been
successful on landing, it is supposed
he would, by the time, be in the halls
of Montczuma, negotiating with Mr..
Seward for q union Of the TWO coun-
tries, on the basis of paying eff the
Mexican debt in consideration Of re-
coveringth the whole of Mexico return.
But now that Santa Anna is either
saeaa er orrisoncrin the hands of the
.Juarists, along with Ortega, what is
the programme. Briefly this: To
lit out another expedition to land
some where on the Mexican ceast,
unfurl the banner of0rtega, and trust
to fortune for Mexican support
Ortega's name, they say, will do just
as we'll as Ortcga himself. Ifjuarez
shoot him so much the better; it will
make Juarez unpopular, and hasten
his end.
The Cnitctl States Marshall, the
United States District t-Attorney, and
the Collector of the Pert are not in
;the dark as to what is in the wind and
there is authority for saying that with.
Sin the past twenty-four hours they
!have received peremptory instructions
from Washington of such a character
:as will make it their duty to maintain
the neutrality laws at any and every
cost.

NEGRO SHOT BY A LApY.-Yesterday a
highly respectable married lady (Mrs.
Barns) shot negro man named Lee
Gregg. The wife of the negro was in the
employ Of the lady IS cook, and on
several occasions he and his wife had en-
gagged in quarrelling. Yesterday another
alteration sprang up between them,
which the lady overhearing, she ordered
the man to desist and leave the premises.
Instead of doing so, he entered the cham
Der Of the lady and used towards her very
insulting language. The lady again or
dered the insolent rascal away, and this
time he left the room, but soon returned
with an axe and threatened to kill her.
Fearing he might attempt to carry out the
threat, the lady seized pistol which was
in reach and fred, the ball striking the
negro on the top of the shoulder, inaict-
ing a slight flesh wound, from which, how
ever, the blood flowed freely. Upon be-
ing struck the negro fed.
While it is to be regretted that the ne
cessity was forced upon her of using a
weapon, the spirit of the lady in defending
herself against the threats of the black
scoundrel cannot be too highly commend
ed. 1t is to be hoped that the punish
ment for this outrage will not stop at the
slight wound inflicted upon its perpetra-
tor, but that he will be arrested, and re.
ceive at the hands Of the law the measure
Of Justice due him for his outrageous be.

way, she remarked that she knew Miss
Davis at the Convent +; that "she wanted
to make herself Catholic, but Monsieur
Jefferson Davis came and took her away"
It Ia true that the child was taken away
and sent to Mrs. Gordon's school, although

for such course; more especially as it
would have really been q poor return for

Yesterday. I saw JEFF. Davis walking all
alone in Notre Dame street, and immedl-
ately recognized him, though he seemed
to be at that point of the street tncognsto
TO the passers. He was dressed in black
suit-he has very neat, tidy appearance
always-wearing felt hat, broad .brimmed,
southern fashion, and carries cane. But
this, be it said, en- PEASANT, he did not ap-
near to need at all for he walked per.
fectly erect, and with q very d'gnlhed
step. diagonally across the little square IN
front of the cathedral, and entering Little
st. James street. Before he had gotten
through the square, however, ne was re-
copnized and after he had entered the
street quite crowd gathered st It's en-
trance. AL eyes were strained TO sa!ca
a good, long glimpse Of the perambulating
celebrity until he passed two long So nares
and out of view. Several remarks were
made by members of the crowd butthere
was no noise nor other demonstration, ana
Mr. Davis walked on, entirely unconscious
of the asssmbIage so quickly gathered IN
his wake to stare at him. 1t was oroH.

Matters in Wilmington.

WILMINGTON, N. c., August 23.-There
were 6s colored and sc whites registered
to-day.
The Republicans are becoming alarmed
lest negro should be elected Mayor of
this city, and the southern whites are de-
nounced because they did not register.
Northern men who are conservative be-
gin to see that without their cooperation
with the southern party of moderate views
the State must be given up to negro domi-
nation.
Prominent northern men here admit
that the whites must now yield to negro
suffrage, but that the negro race, like the
Indian, must give place to the white man.
The intelligent Radicals here don'tpretend
to insist that the blacks ought to be in
vested with the rights now accorded them
by the dominant party.
