Here we have over 10000 men ac.
counted for. The surrenders could
not have included more than the Dor.
tons of each command that happened
to be at the time with the commander.
The remainder and much the larger por-
ton simply went home. They had
been going home for months before the
final breakup. Lees surrender was
the signal for general dispersal; John
ston's for a still greater one. We shall
not 60 far wrong in assuming that the
Confederacy had at least 100000 men
under arms in the beginning of 1865.
If we add to this 100000 dead, 100000
disabled by wounds and disease, 100000
in prison, and 100000 deserters, we be-
gin to get something like the true pro-
portions Of the rebel army, and what
became of 100000 young men of mill
tary age in the IL seeding States, ac-
cording to the Census of 1860, besides
those they drew from the $40, young
men in the Border States, and the hun
dreds of thousands who became of mill
tary age between 1859 and 1865.
One other statement of the Ne,cs we
cannot let go unanswered. 1t says:
Yet the spirit Of the Confederate soldier
remained proud and unbroken TO the last
charge, as WAS conclusively shown by the
battles of Franklin and Nashville, Tenn. !:
the operations around Richmond and Peters
burg: the last charge of the Army of North
eSn Virginia; the defense of Fort MaAllister
on the Ogeechee River in Georgia. where $50
Confederate soldiers, in an open earthwork,
resisted the assaults Of more than 5000
Federal troops and never surrendered, but
were cut down at their guns.
The rebel soldiers unquestionably
fought very well TO the last, and the
garrison of Fort McAllister held a
strong position, and defended it stub
bornly. But instead of being attacked
by 5000 men, it was by nine small
regiments-the 47th and 54th Ohio,
30th, 1llth and 10th ILL.,, 9th Mo-, and
10th Ohio, and 4Sth and Goth Ill. The
fight lasted just 10 minutes after the

SECRETARY CARLISLE now admits
that there will be deficiency of about
s50,O00,O00 at the close of the fiscal
year-June 80. He claims that this
was caused by the overthrow of the in
come tax, which lost the Treasury about
$4,000, 900, and the reduction in the
price of imported sugar, which cut down
the estimated revenue from that source
about s18,5OO,O00. He has under con-
sideration the recommendation to Con-
gress of a tax of 10 cents pound on tea,
which he thinks will yield 100000,
and an additional dollar on each barrel
of beer, which will bring in S30,0O0,00O.
There is doubt whether Congress will
favorably regard o tax On tea 1t may
be more favorably disposed to that on
beer, which is now paying a tax
of only 20 per cent. while whisky
is paying LOO per cent. More
sensible than a tax on tea would
be one on coffee. We very foolishly
took the duty off coffee some years ago,
when the Brazilians Immediately put on
an export duty of two cents a pound.
Our people had to pay the same price
for their coffee, and the Brazilians built
a navy out of the revenue we so gener-
ously presented them. We buy $780,
100000 pounds of coffee year, valued
at over s90,000,O0O. A duty of two
cents pound would yield revenue of
100000 and would not raise the
price to consumers, as Brazil would i'm
take her duty off when we
put ours on. England has a duty Of
ID shillings $3.50 per hundred
weight OH pounds), or nearly three
cents a pound, and eight cents a pound
ON tea.

THE WAY TO REMoNETIZE SILVER.

Again we have to inquire, as we have
for several years, why those who are so
enthusiastic for silver do not make an
effort to get that which is stored UP in
the Treasury vaults into general circu-
lation? May /, there were 1863, 713, $50
silver dollars stored up in the vaults in
Washington, and they have remained
there for many years, in spite of every
effort of the Government to force them
into circulation. This fact hurts the
cause of silver worse than any other.
1t enables its opponents to point out
that, in spite of all the hue and cry.
the people at large do not want silver,
and will not have it. The immense
accumulation is, a dead weight upon
every effort at international bimetalism,
for the single standard advocates in
Europe give point and weight to their
arguments by drawing attention to this
hoard, which, they claim, the United
States is scheming to unload upon the
rest of the world, and which will result
as disastrously as Germany's unloading
of her hoard in the years following 1872.
The best work the silver leaders can do
is to urge their followers to remove this
menace by getting the silver out of the
Treasury and into general circulation.
The whole sum mounts to but little over
IS per head of our population, and if all
those who claim to favor silver as money
should insist upon being paid their
wages, or for their corn, cotton, wheat,
and potatoes, in big, hard, silver dollars,
the whole sum would be out of the Treas
ury vaults in month, the people would
become accustomed to regarding silver
as real money, and the cause of silver
all over the world would be immensely
promoted by the fact that hundreds of
millions of dollars in "white metal
were in active circulation in the United
States. it is very strange that so prac-
teal and sensible method of advanc-
ing the interests of silver has not been
adopted long ago by the enthusiastic

DISCIPLINE IN THE REVOLUTIONARY
WAR.

Everybody naturally thinks that our
forefathers were such gallant, entku-
siastic patriots that they focked to the
camps and remained there the whole
seven years without being under any
other restraints than their own proper i'm
pulses. 1t is rather startling to find that
Washington and his subordinates found
it necessary to maintain a discipline
much more strict and even harsh than
anything known during the rebellion in
the camps of the Union army.
The NeD England Magazine for
June publishes some extracts from the
diary of John Pitman, who served in
a Pennsylvania regiment, and was after
the war distinguished Baptist clergy
man.
For example, here is his copy of an
order received from General Head
quarters, then in front of Boston:
The General Lements the Necessity he is
Laid Under of Respecting, his orders by which
the Officers wair Forbid to Ride abought the
Country. Thus abscpting themselves from
THAR Duty. If aney STUDENT Ccall for
Officers or Defensive Measures should be made
During THAR Absence Thay Will Shewcrly
be brought to n Soveair Account.
So it would seem, even at that early
day, officers as well as men were entire
ly too fond of what our old Major call
ed, Pirouting around the country for
pies and whisky"

reads:

CONFEDERATE LOSSES.

The Galveston Ne,Us has been-some-
thing quite unusual for Southern
papers-studying actual statistics. When
writing of the war the Southern editor
usually displays naughty indifference to
such facts and figures as are obtainable.
He much prefers sounding rhetoric and
sweeping assertion, unfettered by any
connection with the actual facts. These
embarrass him; they clip the wings of
his imagination they take the wind
out of his sails-he will have naught to
do with them. Let the base, clerkly
commercial Northerners prowl around in
the dusty records if they will, and insist
that z and 2 make 8, and and 6 are
always IA. The naughty Southron will
not suffer his soaring intellect to be
chained by the puerile rules of a school
boy arithmetic. If he chooses to regard
z and 2 as 90 he viii do so. If arith-
metic disagrees with him, SO much the
worse for arithmetic.
The Ncacs still clings 10 the absurd
that the Southern Confederacy
never had more than 100000 men in the
field. Let us see what quagmiIe it
figures itself into on this basis:
Some conception Of the magnitude of the
IabOrs performed in field and hospital serv-
ice by the officers of The Medical Corps of
The Confederate army may be formed by the
of the following general re-
sulfS.

Besides these, the greater part of his
cavalry, estimated at $500, was sepa-
rated from the main body by our troops,
escaped to Lynchburg, and was not in
cluded in the surrender.
There is therefore every reason for
believing that Lee must have had APP
preaching $4,000 men in and around
Richmond and Petersburg when the
final attack was begun.

TRIBUNETS.

There is new argument for washing your
feet every day. A prominent electrician
claims that man requires to come in contact
with the earth, and that incrustations on the
feet become non-conductors of electricity. He
eschews rubbers, and cites statistics 20 prove
that people who go the nearest barefooted are
more rugged and exempt from colds.
