THE COST OF THE WAR.

Commissioner Wells, in his report,
presented to Congress, gives an esti-
mate of the cost of the war. The
government spent, in war expenses,
and expenses growing out of the war,
down to June 80, 1869, 81, III, ,914, ,498.
This excludes what the administration
would have cost had there been no
war, and may be called the net cost to
the government of the rebellion.
To this, however, must be added a
number of items, which Mr.. Wells
gives thus
Pensions, capitalized at eight
years purchase..............- S2e0 0O0, eco
-iiS' " On ol5@T war acco1nt,.;. @ - $4,000
of ne i war VA Ss,s Sestimated5 at 2OocOocoo
Expenditures of states, coun-
ties, cities and towns, on ac-
count of the war, not repre-
sented by the funded debt
Estimated loss to the loyal
states from the diversion and
suspension Of industry, and
the reduction Of the Ameri-
can marine and carrying
Estimated direct expenditures ''''''''
and loss OF property by the
Confederate states by reason
OF the war 2,1OOIOOOOOO
This makes a total of loss by the
war to the whole country Of nine
thousand millions Of dollars. This,
then, says Commissioner Wells, was
the cost Of the destruction of slavery
the cost of Compromise-the cost of
the unfaithfulDess Of those who found
ed this nation to the idea by which the
nation lives. What does it measure =?
1t is substantially a thousand millions
year for nine years or at the wages
Of FIVE hundred dollars year, the la
Dor of two millions of men exerted
continuously during the whole of that
period. Its FIVE times as much as
the slave property ofthe country was
ever worth. It is sum which at in
terest would yield to the end of time
twice as much as the annual slave pro-
duct of the South IN its best estate"
We spent and wasted in the war
money enough to build ninety Daricn
ship canals; OF to build hundred Pa
ciie Railroads or nine times as much
in would double track every railroad
as the limited States.-N. Y. Post

In his annual report the Comptrol-
Ter of the Currency makes the import
ant recommendation that the national
banking act be so amended that there
shall be no Limitation as to the number
of the banks. This alteration being
made any one can engage in national
banking who complies with the condi-
tions Of the act. In other words, the
proposition is to authorize free bank
ing with such limitations as to cireula-
ton and redemption as viii keep the
business on sound basis. Congress
will probably make this amendment.
It is demanded by the interests Of the
South and West and viii remove from
the national banking system an odious
restriction.

A MATHEMATICAL PRODIGY-BLIND Ben,
THE CALCULAToR.-Bidd and Barnum's
famous Lightning Calculator-the one for
wears the wonder Of all England, and the
other of America-are both eclipsed by .
negro boy now in Richmond. The former
had sight, instruction, and other advan-
tages, while the latter is q poor negro boy
who cannot see wink, has lived two-thirds
of his years in slavery, and never went TO
school for day in his life. -e.s
The name Of our prodigy is Ben Stevens.
Hc is native of Caroline, and was former
ly a slave of DR.. Morris, of that county.
N 1864 he first showed his skill at figures,
bvt when he learned the multiplication ta-
lie we are not informed. He soon astonIsh-
cd the people of the neighborhood by his
remarkable quickness at adding, subtract
ing, multiplying, and dividing, but only
lately did the story reach Richmond.
A day or two ago he was brought to town,
and on Tuesday evening, in presence OF
number of gentlemen, gave an exhibition
of his wonderful powers. Upon first sight
of the illy-clad creatures grinping mouth,
retreatiDg forehead, and eyer-rolling, sight
less eye-balls, one would be most likely to
put him down as an idiot. But give him o
&c sum- as he calls q mathematical pro-
blem, and he pricks his ears, opens his
mouth, and shows that he is sensible
enough. .. -. .5.-l.
On the occasion referred to, every exam
pie propounded Ben worked out quickly
and correctly without resorting to pencil or
pen. Of the use Of which he is, indeed, as
ignorant as Of the use of the camera OBJ
scuro, or oxy-hydrogsn bloT- pipe. Il In seye-
fore the by-standers could work it
out ont on paper. Long rows Of figures items,
hundreds, and thousands, were retained m
mon his mind, and in neyery, case correctly
added. In subtraction, though perfectly
ignorant Of the common arithmesicsl no.
menolature, he was equally quick and the
Same may be said Of his exercises IN null
tipioation. Finally, he was tested in square
and cube root; md in that, TOO, shoWea =

A GREAT MUSICAL TREAT.-The grand
musical festival arranged by Signor Bis
caccianti for the Inauguration Of st. Adams
Hall on Friday evening promises to surpass
in u musical way anything which has ever
taken place in this city. The programme
will open with the greater portion of Ros
sini's Stabat Mater, including the cele-
brated Inf&matus; to be followed by a
general miscellaneous concert in two parts.
This will consist of such admirable selec-
tons rs the Prayer from Moses, aextette
from Lucia, trio from Atilla, and many
other of the choicest genus of the Italian
composers.
Those who desire to be present on SO rare
an occasion would do we'll to apply early
for seats, as the capacity of the hall is
limited, and the attendance of one of the.
largest and most fashionable audiences Of
the season is beyond doubt. f

JETER PHILLIPS BEFORE UNDERWOOD
Jctcr Phillips was again brought into court
Yesterday afternoon in obedience to the
writ of habeas corpus issued by Judge
Underwood.
Major A. R. Courtney signifed to the
court that by the request of the Attorney
General, who was unavoidably absent, he
appeared as the representative of the State.
Judge Underwood suggested that in view
Of the action of the Supreme Court it would
be we'll for counsel to draw up statement
of the facts in the case upon which they
could agree. -.-.-. s..-..
After some unimportant discussion the
case was postponed until o'clock to-day,
and Phillips remandcd to the county Jail.
Friday is the day fixed for the execution,
but it is thought that he will, as matter
of course, be again reprieved, to await the
action Of the Supreme Court.
