In the November numbers OF the Eclectic and
the land 1ie Lore, 1869, IN interesting and i'm
portant correspondence was published between
DR.. Joseph Jones, Secretary Of the Historical
Society. and Gon. s. Cooper, ex-Adjutant-Gen-
eral OF the Confederate States. From that
source We CLEAN the following facts for the ben
eft of those who are not go fortunate as to have
preserved file Of the 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 100000
men.
Second-The Confederate States never had in
their defense more than 200, 900 men in the field
at one time. ....
TAird-From 1861 to 1865 the Confederate
forces actively engaged were only GOO, 900.
Fourui-Ihe total number Of deaths during
that time were zoe, 900.
FIfu-Losses Of prisoners counted as total
losses, on account of the United States policy Of
exchange, 100000.
Slxah-The loss OF tho Confederate States
army by discharge, disability, and desertion,
amounted to 100000.
Sereat1-At the close Of the war; the force Of
the Confederate army Was less than 100,0 900.
.Eightt-Out OF 100000 men, 100000 we're lost
to the service.
These facta are taken from calculations made
with great care by Dr.. Joseph Jones, submitted
to and approved BY Gen. s. Cooper, Adjutant-
General Of the Confederate army.

Herald.
At 1ate hour tonight the preliminary inves-
hgation Of Col. Morgan, for the murder Of Sh erif
Hllliard, is still progressing before Chancellor
brennan. Tie evidence amounts to about this:
AT an early hour yesterday morning Morgan and
his clan forcibly elected billiards. deputy from
the SheritTs office, and took possession. Hlliard.
coming down town about o'clock, summoned
what citizens he saw, to 80 With him to tho
Court-Houge When near there Morgan met
them and said: II am Sheriff, and have the
keys I warn you not to 80 to the Courthouse" !"
Billiard said to his posse: II am Sheriff;
follow me-" He then went rapidly on
to the Court-House, followed by his posse
and Morgan; billiard entered and easily forced
the door. As it opened, Frank Stewart (colored)
fred at Hilliard, wounding him in the side. Scott
(colored) fred over billiards. shoulder at Stew
art, woundlng him severely: Several other shots
we're fred, and Scott was slightly hurt. Hilliard
retreated toward the hall door, only few steps
of. Morgan, standing in the door, leye1ed his
pistol at billiards head and fred. and billiard
fell, the ball having penetrated the brain. Ho
lived but three hours nfterward. The verdict OF
the jury at the Coroner's inquest reads: ave
find that H. F. billiard came to his death by
murder, by pistol-shot in the head at the hands
Of Col. A. T. Morgan, and as accessories thereto
Frank Stewart and Emanuel Stevens" was in
error yesterday in saying billiard summoned an
armed posse. He said nothing about arms, and
very few had even pistol. Hilliard had 9 pistol
in his pocket but it Was not drawn.

Rome Correspondence of The Philadelphia Bulletin.
The Pope is in excellent health and spirits.
Last week, at an audience, there was an AMER
lean Protestant Clergyman aud his wife. The
Pope talked with them somo moments IN French !;
as Els Holiness passed to other visitors, the
clergyman rolled out in American Latin onthudi-
astically (that ie, Latin pronounced according
to the Cambridge style. not IL the Latin Catho-
lies pronounce -: MAY Your Holiness live q
hundred years."
The Pope turned quickly, dropped his French.
and said bursqueIy in Italian, shaking his right
hand impatent1y in front OF his ear, a. L tEs
bound gave him pain: "Thank you, thank you
very much, but it is no use for you to speak
Latin to me with that pronunciation; cannot
understand it,"
It recalled to ma the desth-b2d Of Malherbe,
tie "tyrant OF syl!ables," as he wcs named Ar
instant before he e,ied, when he had hardly I
breath of life in him, he reused himself up sud.
