Is the business of the country falling off ?
1t is pretty dull here in New York just now, but
let us look at the figures. The aggregate amount
of the taxes on sales collected by the Internal
Revenue Department from June 80, 1868, to
Feb. 2s, 1859, was 1924, IA. Tho amount
collected from June 80, 1869, to Feb. 2s, 1870,
was 90, 100, 6ss. This is an increase Of 81 per
cent, for the eight months Of the present fiscal
year over the previous year, and this, too, with
gold and values steadily declining. This seems
to prove that Notwithstanding local and tempo
rary dullness, trade not only keeps up, but gains
largely as time rolls on.

immense wealth.
The Duke reached his camp on tho banks OF the
NOLAN river, which separates Dude from Nepaul, at
$50 on the morning Of the 23d Of February. Soon
afterward Sir Jung Bahadoor. who was encamped
on the opposite bank, came across to meet and
congratulate his royal guest Ho was In full state
costume and wore splendid head-dress, valued at
thrty.fve thousand dollars in gold. After pleasan
interview, Sir Jung Bahadoor having laid aside his
elegant attire and replaced 1t by hunting costume,
the two Princes set out for the great tiger hunt
which the Indian host had planned for the entertain
ment OF the Royal English sportsman. The battle
which followed Il described % absolutely uniene.
There were upward OF $50 hunting elephants in the
teld tiger was soon started out OF the jungle, and
BY mastery management was gradually so hemmed
In by elephants that ut last these formed complete
circle Of not more than sixty yards diameter, with
only tie Prince, Sir Jung Bthadoor and the uger III

Seventy six" Is the number Of the last
batch Of repentant insurgents who said TO
have surrendered themselves to the Spanish
authorities in Cuba. These last converts from
the tyranny Of the patriots to the clemency Of
Spanish rule are said to have come from the dis
trict Of Caunao, hilly region few miles north
west Of Puerto Principe.
General JoRDAS's headquarters are stated TO
be at Magnrabombn, q village in this Caunso dis
trict, and on the road between Santo Espiritu
and Principe. 1t seems strange that rebels
who had held out so long, and who are now fur
Their protected by the neighborhood of the large
body Of well-armed patriots in the immediate
command of the General-in- Chief should at this
late hour change their minds as to the justice or
probable success of the Cuban cause.
From late Spanish official accounts they must
have incurred, however. no small risk in surren-
dering themselves nor, according to other re-
ports from the same sources, are these risks ter
minated even when within the Spanish lines. The
Didrio de Ia Marina of the Sd inst states that
"two repcntant rebels were, on the 2sth ultimo,
when on the road TO surrender themselves in
Puerto Principe shot by Spanish outpost"
This happened four days after the proclamation
WAS lssueu Dy beu LIE lNODAS, III lnls same IueTtO
Principe, in which free pardon and guarantee that
their lives should be spared were offered to all
who should surrender. From a newspaper of
Trinidad we learn that q small batch of thirty,
whose surrender had been accepted at that place,
were subsequently shot on a trumped-up charge Of
q conspiracy, investigated, of course, by drum
head court martial.
Considering the impolitic manner in which the
Spanish commanders fulfil the promises held out
TO patriots convinced Of the errors of their ways,
these daily accounts Of parties prese nting them
selves are almost too heavy tax on our credulity
Again, the news Of these surrenders is deemed Of
sufficient importance to telegraph TO the world,
through a cable which maintains pain full silence
on the really important matters of battles; for
the results Of these battles can only be surmsed
by the fearfuy numerous arrivals of late of
wounded--wth their wounds still undressed-in

that the Spanish Government prohibits all men.

Gov. JEWELL of Connecticut is getting
good deal Of praise for his energy and success in
stopping a prize tight that some New York
roughs had arranged to hold on one Of the islands
under his rule. This praise is well deserved !;
but the gratitude OF this community toward the
Governor is considerably diminished by the fact
that many of the parties have got out of his grip,
and are now in New York again, If Connect-
cut had put them all in States Prison and kept
them there for the next five years, our obligations

that he has gone to the Ardennes on shooting

would have protested against the shipment Of
such a criminal it is not likely that he intended
to embark at that port. II is more probable that
he betook himself to the Ardennes, where he
would be IN cOngenial company among the wild

CITATION.

"
We are specially gratiaed q the
action had at the meeting Of the
Confederate soldiers in this city
Tuesday evening, in the creation
Of a Lee Monumental Association
for this State. Such action was
eminently fitting and appropriate,
and shows that the hearts which
once beat beneath ragged grey
jackets, promptly obedient to the
call of the dead hero, are as full
of warmth, love and admiration
as ever.
We think this is the first asso.
citation Of this kind established in
the South, and earnestly hope
that it will be adopted in each Of
the eleven late Confederate States,
and when each State has erected
within its own limits an enduring
monument to the virtues and
patriotism of the revereu deceased,
that in an united effort, they erect,
in Capital Square, Richmond, Vir-
ginia, a monument to commcmo-
rate the united sympathies and
sorrows of all the people in these
States.
We feel assured that q call in
this behalf will be promptly and
literally met by the citizens Of the
South everywhere, and since they
are not alone in their appreciation
of the purity and nobility of the
deceased, and since his loss is re-
cognized as a national calamity,
liberal citizen from all parts Of the
Union will be anxious to contri-
butte towards such q worthy OBJ
ject.
