COST OF THE LATE WAR.

A Confederate medical officer has es.
tsmated that the whole number Of Cen.
federates killed during the war was 3d.
773, and, including those who died by
disease, the number lost was 100000
de says the whole available force of the
Confederates from first to last was 6OO..
oOO. Mr.. Geo. II. Stuart in a lecture
IN Philadelphia, on Thursday, stated
that the number of msn enlisted in the
Union army during the war was $780,
ooo.' The number of com nissioned ves-
sells was 73l, and the number of colored
soldiers 17s,975. The total number of
men In service when General Lee sur
rendered to General Grant was over A
million. The government spent for the
maintenance of the struggle about three
thousand five hundred million, of dol
lars. The cost OF the South canrot be
computed. The expense of the slave
property and the crops which were lost
are computed at five thousand million
dollars in gold. Mr.. Stuart stated that
the proportion Of the South for the ma
tlonal debt had now to be paid, and will
make thousand million dollars, caus-
ing the aggregate loss to the South to
amount to fully six thousand million
dollars.

claimed with almost a politicians
shrewdness, "lst us not allow any DEM
agogue to slip the moose around our
necks and lead us co the polls. Let
US be independent voters. Let us so
act slat our revfiers will say. "a the
