The Var betaOecn the States, its
Causes, Character, COnduct and Results,
bv HON. ALEXANDER II. STEPHENS, is
the title of a valuable work just issued
by The National Publishing Co., Phila-
delphia, Pa,
Histories of the late civil war have
sprung up like mushrooms, and they
can now be numbered almost by hun
dreds, but all who are DESTROYS of arriv-
ing at correct understanding of the
of the late lamentable war, have felt the
want of reliable history of the same
from Southern standpoint, by some
representative man of the South. This
want is about to be supplied by Alexan-
der II. Stephens. Mr.. Stephens was
most earnest protestant against rebel
lion, and only succumbed at the last
moment, when his State, in spite of his
warning, committed the great error.
The bare announcement that this dis
tinguishcd Statesman had determined
to write a book, would of itself, be suffi-
cient to kindle lively and widespread
interest in all sections of the country ;
but when ii is known that he has chosen
as his theme, the one so fruitful as the
late American War, the absorbing in
terest of the subject, together with the
cvidentand singular fitness ofthe author
for its treatment, unite in awakening a
curiosity entirely unparalleled i'm the
annals of American literature.
1t presents a careful political analysis
of the past, separating real from appar-
ent causes of the late unhappy conflict,
and gives those interior lights and sha-
dows of the great war, only known to
those high officers, who watched the
fiood-tide of Revolution from its foun-
tain-springs, and which We're so Access
sible to Mr.. Stephens, from his position
as second officer in the Confederacy.
To public that has been surfeited
with apparently similar productions, it
presents change of fare, both agreeable
and salutary, and an intellectual treat of
the highest order The Great American
war has at last found historian worthy
of its importance, and at whose hand il
receives that moderate, candid and i'm
partial treatment which truth and JUS
tice so urgently demand.
This most valuable work Is sold only
by subscription, and the publishers want
an agent in every County.

had been announced that General

p. NJ. an immense throng Of people
gathered at the depot of the South Caro-

him on his arrival was mighty and

Democratic Clubs marched in procession
to the meeting, bearing appropriate
transpalencies. The stage was hand
somely decorated. The whole neigh
borhood was lit up by powerful reflec
tors. 1t is estimated that there were ov

Government Expenditures.

In response to request from the
House Committee Of Ways and Means,
Commissioner Wells, OF the Internal
Revenue Department, has made a state
ment of the income and expenses of the
United States, which contains some in
teresting statistics. For the year end
ing June 80, 1868, our revenue was: Gus
toms gold, Sl63, 800, 600; internal taxes,
$l93, 600, 900; miscellaneous, $40, 800, 600 !;
making a total of $406, 300, 900. During
the same period we spent upon the civil
administration of the Government $53,
900, 000 in the Interior Department (in-
Guiding $23 600, 900 for pensions), S2s,-
600, 900; in the Navy Department., S26,-
100000; in the War Department, for
legitimate and ordinary expenses, S57,-
600, 10000; for bounties, $3S, O00,000 and
for other extraordinary purposes, S2S,
600, 600. The interest on the public
debt has been SAP 900, 000 So that al
together our outgo has been 1871 600, 600
against an income of $4O6, 600, 600, which
! leaves n surplus in our favor of $50, 000,-
000.
As so much is said of the expense OF
the army and navy under the present
Administration, it is but fair to remark
that while the expenditures for the az
my in the last nine months of 1865 were
SOio ,oOo wv lney were, ior iie past year
but S57 600, GOO, and for the coming yeal
are estimated at 1888, 900 900. The Total
expenditures since Jan. /, 1866, have
been $40, 600, 600. The navy, which
during the past year cost S2G, 900, 600, ant
is estimated to cost the coming yea
$l7, goo 600, required, from 1862 to 1866
inclusive, 1857 ,OOO, 900, or an average o
$4,000 900 per year. SO, too, the inter
est on the national debt this year would
have been but $4,000, 900 but for th'
recent paying Off of the interest of The

BETS ON THE ELECTION.-We extract
the following paragraph from the World
of Tuesday morning last:
owe have received note from per-
son who offers to bet from $500 to S., 900
that Governor Seymour will carry this
State by 10000 majority and the same
sum that Gov. Seymour will be the next
President OF the United States. If the
enthusiastic better desires us to hold the
stakes he has addressed the wrong jour
nal. His note should be addressed to
Mr.. Theodore TiltOn, editor of the In
dependent, who has mentioned in the
Washington kilograms as a prominent
bottle and stakeholder during the i'm
parchment farce"
The above offers can be met and COW
cred, at this office, for the highest sums
named-to wit, 5000 each-and we will
then bet SIS, 900 to 49, 900 we will win the
first bet, and$lO, 600 to SIS, 100 that we will
win the second-that is to say that Grant
will be the next President, instead of
Seymour. We have no objection that
either the editor Of the World or Mr..
Tilton should hold the stakes. Will the

receiving more than it can print, 1t
promises early insertions to none but
the poor people who want places, and u
few other urgent classes. No one who
comes after II o'clock on any day with
his advertisement can hope for an inser-
ton in the next days paper, while gem
orally the advertisers do not see their

They have to wait their turn, and such

that the English public submit patient-

would not tolerate. The lowest charge
is for wants, in which case each adver-
tiser is allowed three lines for half a

others The regular rate is shilling line,
