TENNESSEE FINANCES.
Letter from Treasurer Morrew-The
State Ready to Pay the Interest on
Its Bonds.

From the New York Financeer, March z.
The Treasurer of the State has writ
ten the following letter, dated Feb. q,
to a gentleman Of this city
The State commenced tbs month
paying the interest due in July, having
q considerable amount of funds ON
hand, on VIII ch we are getting no inter-
est. We are prepared TO pay interest
| on every bond that has been registered,
and on the new or funded bond, at a
rebate of ene-half of one per cent per
month. being same rate the State pays.
! With the funds already in hand, the
treasury will, by the last day Of May
or June, at furthest-have every dol
lar in hahd necessary to meet the in
terest, and all from the revenue col
lections proper. Tennessee finances
never seemed so bright as at present.
The people are pleased that we are
about TO get straight once more. In
my position, | see citizens from every
county, and no sentiment even squint-
ing toward reputation could muster
enough men in Tennessee to form a
regiment. All agree that, having start
ed afresh on our new financial career,
there must be no turning back. / pre-
diet that the next Legislature will be
even sounder on State credit than the
last one.
1T is expected that next week will
determine the status of what is known
here as the new issue Bank of Ten
nessee money. The case, which is set
for next Monday before our Supreme
Court, seeks to make the Bank of
Tennessee receive these notes, issued
by her in 1861, in payment of debts
due the bank. No question is before
the court that affects the revenue OF
the State. In fact, there are now
enough solvent debts due the bank
(and cash assets) to absorb every dol
lar of the new issue, so that 1t could
not come in for taxes. The proof
shows that this new issue was not
issued for war purposes, but in the
usual way-in discounts, etc.,-and
there is no doubt but that the bank
should take it for its debts. Thousands
of dollars (the amount outstanding is
less than $500, ,000) are held by parties
owing the bank, and will be paid in at
once if the question is decided in their
favor.
The assessment of taxable proper
ty in the State for 1873 shows an in
crease of about $50,0000O0, while the
executive officer thinks the assessment
for 1874 will show an additional in
crease over 1873 of so, 200, ,OGO.
The State will continue to pay in
terest before maturity with the dis
count, at rate of six per cent. per an
nun of, so that if you or your frien6s
have any July coupons let them send
them on at once.

The Confederate Forces.

The Mobile Register of the 10Th
ult., has an article on the Southern
Historical Society, from which we ex-
tract the following interesting facts:
In the November numbers of the
Eclectic and The Land We Love, 1869,
an interesting and important CORES
pondence was published between DR..
Jones, Secretary of the Historical So
eiety, and General S. Cooper, ex-adju-
dant-general of the Confederate States.
From that source we CLEAN the follow
ing facts for the benefit of those who
are not so fortunate as to have presery-
ed file of those magazines. Such
facts are startling even to those who
participated in the Southern struggle.
First-The available force of the
Confederate army did not, during the
war, exceed 600, 600 men
Second-The Confederate States
never had in their defense more than
200, ,0Oe men in the field at one time I
Third-From 1861 to 1866 the Con-
federate forces actually engaged only
600,00Gl
Fourth-The total number of deaths
during that time were 2O0,000i
Fifth-Losses of prisoners counted
as total losses on account of the United
States policy of exchange, 200,000l
Sixth-The loss Of the Confederate
States army by discharge, disability
and desertion amounted to 1O0,000i
Seyenth-At the close of the war,
the force of the Confederate army was
less than 100000
Eight-Out of 100000 men 10000
were lost to the service
Theee facts are taken from calcula-
tions made with great care by DIR.
Joseph Jones, submitted to and ap-
proved by General s. Cooper, adjutant-
general of the Confederate army.
From them we deduce these two facts:
At the close of the war the Federal
forces numbered one million; the Con-
federate forces numbered one hundred
thousand How sad and eloquent a
difference Eloquent Of disadvanta-
ges, determination, devotion and
death The files of the Office held
by General Cooper were carefully pre-
served, and this tragic secret was care
fully preserved and only known to its
heroes. They guarded it well. 1t
was boxed up, ard retreated under
guard from Richmend to Charlotte,
North Carolina. There it was unfor-
tunately captured, and the United
States found that her million of men
had been held at bay by one hundred
thousand only!

A HEALTH.
/ I'LL this cup to one made up
or loveliness alone,


I'LL this cup to one made up
or loveliness alone,
A woman of her gentle sex
The seeming paragon,
To whom the better elements
And kindly stars have given
A form SO fair, that, like the air,
Tis less OF earth than Heaven.
Her every tone is magic's own,
Like those OF morning birds,
And something more than melody
Dwells ever In her words;
The coinage of her heart are they,
And from her lips each flows,
As one may see the burdened bee
Forth Issue from the rose.
Affections are as thoughts to her,
The measures of the hours,
Her feelings have the fragrancy,
The freshness of young flowers;
So fill her, she appears
The image of themselves by turns,
The idol Of past years.
OF her bright face one glance will trac'
A picture on the brain,
And of her voice in echoing hearts
A song must long remain;
But memory such as mine Of her
So very much endears,
When death Is nigh, the latest sigh
uf viii not be life's but hers.
MI this cup to one made up
OF loveliness alone,
A woman of her gentle sex
The seeming paragon
Her health! and would on earth there
stood er..s
Some more OF such frame,
That life might be all poetry,
And wearinessa name.

Senator Schurz's Word to Farmers.

In his speech in the Senate recently,
opposing currency imitation, Senator
Schurz spoke as follows:
IF farmer or planter could in
fate the currency and run up the pre-
MUM OF gold when he sells his crops,
and then so manipulate the currency
as to raise the value of paper money
aud depress the premium on gold when
he buys his supplies. of course that
would be a winning trick. But those
who buy from and who sell to him
would try to play the same game and
in this trickery game the honest far
mer would be sure to come to grief. as
he has come to grief already. No;
if the farmer or planter wants to pros
per, he will above all things, use every
effort within his power to rad the eoun-
try of a system of currency which OBJ
lires him to sell at low and buy at high
prices. He may for moment think
that imitation will aid him IN paying
off his debts, if he has any; but upon
consideration he will discover that
debts are paid out of surplus earnings,
and that his earnings will be depressed
when the price of what he buys is
high, in proportion to the price of
what he sells that his surplus earn
inps will grow larger as sooD as the
price of what he sells is put upon an
equal footing with the price of what
he buys. He will discover that the
trick of deprectatiDg the legal tender
by imitation, in order TO pay what he
owes in a currency less valuable, will
not rebound to his advantage in the
end. and that in this, as in all other
things, honesty is, after all, the best
policy. He will discover that an hon
est currency, which permits him to
buy and sell on the same basis of val
ue, is for him the safest basis of pros
perity, and / trust the time is not far
distant when the farmers, whatever
artifices of demagogism may be used
at present upon them. will, as one
man, stand up honestly and intelli-
gently for the earliest possible return
to specie payment.

After some more threatening lang
uage sailors cap was placed on his
head, and with the landlord on one side
and stalwart runner on the other, he
was marched into the street. The
boys hope revived as he got into the
open air, and he told them that if they
did not let him go he would call a po-
lieeman and have them arrested.
You say a word to anybody and I'll
knock the teeth down your throat, F"
said Gleason, while the runner, with a
menacing gesture, swore he would kick
him to pieces if he opened his head.
And hear ye, added the landlord,
''the best thing that you can do is to
keep as quiet as you can. All the
policemen down here are my friends,
and if you call to one I'll give him a
couple of dollars to club you.
The boy made no reply, but looked
as keenly as he could at those they
passed; but at the time Git was now
after dark in that section OF the city
there was no one TO be seen to whom
he dared appeal. They approached a
policeman who was standing on the
corner, and the boy. in spite of threats,
made up his mind to call to him; but
his resolve was checked when his cap
tors and the policemen nodded pleas
antly to each other, and he thought his
safest plan was TO see the captain,
who, in his innocence, he supposed
would certainly refuse to take him
when he found he was no sailor.
When they came to the shipping Of
fce-not the Office of the United
States Commissioner, but an "out-
side" or private ofice-the captain,
who was present, without asking any
questions, told Gleason that the boy
would not do, he was not heavy
enough, and he might as well take
take him right back and bring him a
heavier man or none at all. The boy
attempted TO speak, but was sileneed
by threat and marched out of the
Office again. On the way back the run
ner proposed to take him to another
Office and ship him for Liverpool, but
Gleason refused, saying he was going
