Many people, having read
frequent dispatches in the pa
pers about the Atchinese, will
be glad to know where they
live. Atchin forms the north
western portion Of Sumatra );
it covers an area of about 500
geographical square miles, and
has 100000 inhabitants be-
longing to the Malayan race.
The Atchinese are tall, strong
ly built, and of a violent and
naughty temperament, though
they are much more intelligent
and skillful than most Of the
other inhabitants Of Sumatra.
|
They are most Mohammedans.
The capital has about 5000
houses, and $4,000 inhabitants.
The country generally is
mountainous, but exceedingly
fertile pepper, coffee, cotton,
tobacco, and vegetables, grow
more freely and produce abun-
dant crops. Gold and preci-
GUS stones are also found in
great quantities. Although
part of Sumatra is under the
equator, the climate is very
moderate. The air is healthy
in the mountain districts, bu
not in the plains or on the
coast. Atchin abounds in wilc
animals: there are elephants
tigers, buffaloes, rhinoceroses
and orang-outangs. The latte
are never killed by the natives
as they believe that the soul
Of their ancestors passed int
these animals. Among tn
allies Of the Atchinese are tn

from the Mobile (Alabama) Register.I
In the November numbers
Of the Eclectic and the Land
We Love, 1869, an interesting
and important correspondence
was published between DR..
Joseph Jones, Secretary Of the
Historical Society, and Gener-
al S. Cooper, Ex-Adjutant-
General of the Confederate
States. From that source we
CLEAN the following facts for
the benefit of those who are
not so fortunate as to have
preserved a file Of the maga-
zines. Such facts are startling
even to those who participated
in the Southern struggle:
1. The available forces Of
the Confederate army did not,
during the war, exceed 100000
men.
2. The Confederate States
never had in their defence more
than 100000 men in the field
at one time.
3. From 1861 to 1865 the
Confederate forces actively en-
gagged were only 100000.
4. The total number of
deaths during that time were
200 900.
5. Losses of prisoners coun-
ted as total losses, on account
4 Of the United States policy OF
exchange, 100000.
l. 6. The loss Of the Confeder'
! ate States army by discharge
: disability and desertior
amounting to 100000.
Z. At the close of the wa
the force Of the Confederate
army was less than 100000.
: s. Out of 100000 men 500,
900 were lost to the service.
The facts are taken from
calculations made with grea
: care by DR.. Joseph Jones, sub

remarkable that we found no

The Sweeds IN Maine.

The Swedish colonies in
Maine have proved so profita>
bic to the colonists, as well as
to the State, that the 1mmigra>
ton Commission thinks it no
longer necessary to expend
money to bring more of them
over. In New Sweden there
are six hundred colonists, who
have taken uptwenty thousand
acres Of land, one thousand
five hundred of which have
been cleared. Last Spring one
thousand acres were cleared,
and on that area excellent crops
were raised. The Swedes are
debtors to the State for aid
from the founding of the colo>
nv $24,292.S6 of which sum
they have paid $3,02S.S6 by
working on the roads. The
remainder is to be paid in the
same way. All State aid ceas-
ed last September. The State
built for the colonists twenty>
six houses. Since their arrival
the Swedes have built one hun-
dred and four houses and one
hundred and thirty barns.
There are in Maine one thous>
and five hundred in Swedes,
who brought to the State near
ly a million dollars, and they
are worth a million and a halt
as a producing force.

Nevada is demanding more
territory, the $500 square
miles which she now possesses
apparently not affording her
elbow room. For a while she
looked longingly upon Utah,
hoping to absorb that promis-
ing embryo state, but has now
concluded to move in an oppo-
site direction. She has recent
ly appeared before the Califor-
MIA legislature, asking for por-
tions Of four counties Of the
latter State, viz: Nevada, Ell
Dorado, Mono and Inyo. But
California says she has no ter
ritory to give away, and if she
had, the ceded tract would not
be taken from the eastern from
tier, which is the chief source
of her water supply. The Ne
vadese had better remain con.
tent with what they have.
