WHAT IT COSTS To KILL 4 MANN WAR.
We have come curious statistics from
French author writing on contemporary
wars. as 10 what it costs 10 kill man.
lie takes the whole expenditure OF mon
ey for each war and divides that by the
number Of men killed on the frld, or
whose death was owing directly to the
war. In the Crimean war, where many
were congregaied in close quarters. lie
estimates II at 10000 were killed at the
cost OF 50 l65 per man Putting he
deaths in our late war a, 26l 900 whirh IS
rather low estimate, each death was pUr.
chased at q cos, Of SlG,725. 10 the late
Mexican AID South American wars the
expense for killing man uss 81 500.
In the Danish war. 500 lives were los,
at IN average Of $40, 600. In The hu.tro-
Pru.sisn campaign of 1866, which ended
al Sodows, $500 was the price per
desih. Ii will thus be seen tina, j, cOsi
this government more 10 extinguish one
life than any OF The other countries men
toned, and lha, the cost OF killing man
in any of them, would maintain several in
times Of peace.

Eg. Life in Utah or the Mysteries

pose Of their secrei rites and ceremonies,
with a full and authentic history Of Po-
lygamy and the Mormon sect, from lis
origin to The present time :" by J. II.
Beade, editor Of the Salt Lake Reporter,

BY the National Publishing Company,
Philadel pha, Pa.
For more than thirty years the world
has been horrifed. startled and perpeXed
by The audacny and success OF sect call
ing themselves Mormons. Though found
ed in lrauj, tins sect has succeeded in
spite OF ell opposition. until il is to-day
the standing reprosch Of our country.
The Authors long residence in Utah
and his position as Edi,nr Of the leading
Journal Of ths, Territory, peculiarly quail
licj him to write this work. Mnrmonism m
has been productive Of so many dark and
strsrge mysteries SO mary terrible
crimes that few can comprehend, without
an intimate knowledge Of it. how much
wickedness il has 10 answer for, and
whs, standing menace lc order and go

The work shows how Joe Smith and
Brigham Yourg have heen enabled to de-
ceive and cheat their followers how by
leading them on from crime to crime, and
enlcinp them with lrenuous bats, they
have succeeded in maintaining their in
6uence over them; and treats Of the Nor.

is outraged in them, and ho~ liceniions-

1t is important Tat The public should

The Work for Us.

We know no city in the Union at TINS
time which has so promising field Tor sue
cessful operations as Richmond has. ehc
has more means untried and more forces
but partially exerted than any other city
we know of. If our citizens only proceed
with wisdom and energy to bring these into
efficient Use we shall see here in twenty
wears one of the noblest cities OF the Attain
tic shed of States.
But we must have Richmond policy.
Richmond must not play second fiddle to
any city or town in the state-least OF all
to wood-station or tank of railroad
At present we have no communication
westward that would be called Richmond
communication by any moderately smart
man north of MASON and DIxoN's line. The
people above that line know what's what
concerning railroads. They would say that
in competing with other towns and rail-
ways the city that did not have the most
rapid communication by the shortest line
stood very bad chance-that the city
whose lines of transportation did not draw
travel had very poor prospect for trade.
This is the condition of Richmond. and it
is condition out of which she should be
resurrected if it took all we are now worth
and half the wardrobcs of the people to
booti If resurrected from this paralysis
we would soon recover all we had expended
to gave her, and if she is not saved-not
put on footing of equality in the contest
that is now decided by distance and speed
why, we shall never get up from our condi-
ton of poverty and apathy.
Then we must fix UP for the railroads
the great lines that run east and west and
enthusiastically. This fixing up means
not only accommodations here which may
content them, but connecting lines through
the city and a deep channel in James river,
so that it will be capable of the easy trans
portation of the trade which may possibly
find its way into the city.
Upon these important subjects the public
mind may employ itself very greatly to the
interest Of the city. Great deliberation,
unaagging energy, are requisite to bring
the city out Of peril, and SO arrange the
public enterprises as to bring our natural
advantages into greatest usefulness.
There Ii no matter which is more entitled
to the constant reflection and to the consul.
tation Of our citizens. A mistake now
might retard the city for an age. Energetic
and wise policy now will bring her soon
out Of her difficulties, and confer upon Vir-
ginis inestimable advantages. Richmond
is her greatest city. To make her great will
vastly increase the financial resources Of the
State, and establish in her centre market
for the varied products of agriculture
which will stimulate industry and beautify
and enrich the land. If we do not accom-
plish these things we shall not succeed.
The city will not enjoy this prosperity, the
State will not possess the increased sources
Of revenue, and the rural population will
know no such thrift as is here alluded to.

Too LArE.-Thc New York World has
walked up to the enormities of the act to
enforce the fifteenth amendment. 1t pours
a broadside into the new law. But to what
purpose? None. Congress is in fair way
to blot out the State governments entirely,
with the consent of the northern people,
who, if they submit to this new law, will
submit to any indignity that may be COM
mitted upon them. Not one single public
meeting has been held In any northern
State to protest against the great outrage.
On the contrary, the leading Republican
papers in New York and elsewhere seem 10
regard the law as entirely unohjectionapie.
In like manner all other free governments
we may infer, have heretofore persisted.
