State. 1t will be seen that in forty-four
months prior to March lst, 1869, the total
taxes collected from tobacco in North Car
olina amounted to $550,069 8a, and in
Virginia for the same period 81 ,269, 9,57s.66
being an excess in Virginia of $685.

contributed in the same period $780,

REUNION OF ARMY OFFICERS. The
Society of the Army of Tennessee have
met again for their ANIMAL reunion, in Gin
cinnat. At the opening of the reunion,
yesterday, in Music Hall, in that city,
about two hundred members being pre-
sent, the chairman of the committee on the
subject of a monument to Gen. Rawlins.
late Secretary Of War, said that no formal
report had been made ont and no money
had been collected. General Sherman
who presided, thought the practice
of building expensive monuments by
the society would have to be
abandoned. He added: "We are dying
too fast" A plain tablet, to show that
the society claimed and respected its dead
members, he thought, was better. No ac-
tion was taken. Among the members of
the society and others present are the fol-

An European critic reckons that at least
100000 men have perished-killed outright
or slowly by wounds and disease-since
August 4, when Weisenburg was stormed
and the first big fight of the war took place;
that another 100000 have imbibed the seeds
of disease which will not only shorten the
natural duration of their own lives, but be
transmitted to generations yet unborn; that
probably 900 widows and more than 300
coo orphans mourn the loss of husbands
and fathers; that from 10000 to $4,000
other homes have been made desolate by
the loss of sons or brothers who were their
stay; and that little short of 100000 are in
captivity. By this war fully one million of
human beings have, directly, either been
robbed of existence or deprived of their fair
share of happiness and enjoyment in life
within the brief space of i've months, and
upon a comparatively limited area Of the
surface of Europe Then there are the de-
struction of the means of material comfort,
and the longing for revenge which the strug-
gle is engendering.
