THF. ARMIES OF GENS. GRANT \XD
LEE.
Since the dissolution of the Southern Con
federacy there have been many contradicto
ry newspaper statements of the numerical
strength of the brave armies confronting
encb other during the two last eventful cam
paigns in Northern Virginia. Nothing but
speculative opinion founded upon conjecture,
had met the attention of the public upon this
interesting subject anterior to tbe recent ap
pearance of tbe report of Mr. Stanton, which
gives a clear and concise statement of tbe
aggregate forces under the immediate com
mand of Gen. Meade, but directed by Gen.
Grant, at the two memorable periods of the
spring of 1864, and the spriDg of 1865. Ac
cording to the Secretary’s report, Gen. Meade
crossed tbe Rapid Ann on the 4th May, 1864,
with 120,380 men. This army was re-en
forced, says Gen. Grant, in his report, on the
morning of the 6th, by tbe corps under
Gen. Burnside, numberiug 20,000 men. It
appears trout this tbst Gen. Meade had un
der his immediate command in tbe second
battle; (Wilderness,) after crossing the Rapid
Ann, one hnndred and fifty thousand troops.
From the best information we can obtain,
says the Richmond Whig, Gen. Lee’s army
commenced this series of battles about se
venty thousand strong, and received
no re-enforcements, accept the small
force of three or four thousand that came
from the Valley, under Breckenridgc, shortly
before the battle of Cold Harbor. After the
battle ot Spottsylvania Court House, re-in
foicements, in considerable numbers, were
sent to Gen. Grant from Washington; and
upon his forrning a junction with Gen. But
ler, he was re-inforced by the whole strength
of the army of the James. In the mean
while Gen. Lee had been compelled to
weaken himself by sending Breckenridge
back to tbe Valley, and dispatching Early,
■with some fifteen or twenty thousand men, to
meet Gen. Hunter, then moving on Lynch
burg. Thi9 reduction of forces was not com
pensated by the accession gained from the
garrison of Richmond and the lorce between
Richmond and Petersburg under Beaure
gard.
In the last campaign which resulted so dis
astrously to the Conlederates, a month before
the final and successful assault, that is to say f
on the Ist ot March, 1866, the Army of the
Potomac numbered according to said report,
103,273. Mr. Stanton says this was the avail
able force’,for present duty. The exact strength
of the Army of the James,at that date, is not
stated, but the number ot troops present for
duty in the Department of Virginia, was 45,-
986, which added to the Army of the Poto
mac, made an aggregate strength ol 149,269
men. It was understood in Richmond, ssyß
the Whig, that, in addition to these numbers’
Gen. Grant was receiving heavy reinforce
ments all through March, and it is known
close of that month, he was
joined by Gen. Sherman with his splendid
cavalry. Thus, it appears, the force opera
ting under the skillful direction of General
Grant, around Richmond and Petersburg,
nearly approximated, if it did not reach,
200,000.
To oppose this tremendous army, compos
ed mainly of veterau troopi, General Lee,
upop the authority of the Richmond Whig,
which doubtless derived its information from
an unquestionable source, could muster no
ra re than fifty thousand men. The number
surrendered by him is stated in the report as
27,805 ; but it is believed that the number
ou duty, with arms in their hands, the morn
ing of the day on which the surrender was
made, did sot reach 8,000. R may be the
opinion of some that lofty thousaud men be
hind such defences as had been constructed
around Richmond, ought to have been able
to resist 200,000. The reply is that the skillful
manceuvering of Gen. Grant compelled Gen.
Lee to so extend his lines that his works
were at no point sufficiently manned. Where
his line was first broken the men stood ten
or fifteen pacea apart.
We refer to these statements not to make
comparisons disparaging to either side, but
as matters of general and intrinsic interest.
Tlie prowess of both armies has been illus
trated on too many battlefields to admit
criticism unfavorable to the reputation o{
either.
Peon’s Citt or Acocsta Dibbctobt.—
We have received from the publisher a copy
of the above Directory, containing the name,
business, and residence of every citizen, and
advertisements of the principal business
houses, ot out sister city, with a beautiful
colored map of the State of Georgia, a com
plete synopsis ot the Internal Revenue Law,

time table, with much other valuable matter.
Tfle volume is very comprehensive, anti
will be found useful iu the counting rooms of
business men here and elsewhere, having
relations with Augusta It is gotten up in
superior style, and is alike creditable to the
compiler and printer.
Tbe Secretary of State on the 18th iust.
notified Prov. Governor Parsons, of Ala
abnma, Jhat he was relieved, stating that
"the time lias arrived, in the. judgment 0 |
the PresUleut ot the United States, when the

Slate of Alabama may be remitted 10. the
constitutional authorities chosen by the peo

FawnMs JiiHiltsa* From ttsikl»|-
<•■.
Iu tbe Senate tbe other day, when Mr.
Sumner called up bis bill tonfitmiug tbe
j titles of Ireqrfmeu, settled ou tbe Sea Glands
by General Sherman s order, to tbe laud, he
moved its reference to tbe Military Com
mittee, whi'ii was known to be friendly
He was headed off, however, by six cons> r
vative Union members, who voted with the
Democrats to refer it to the Judiciary Com
mittee, w hich committee is said to be very
hostile to Mr. Sumner's plans.
This fact is indicative of a more hopeful
state of affairs In Washington than was pro
mised at the opening of the session, and ex
plains the remark of Senator Saulsbury that
there were strong indications of a split in
the Republican party. Another encourag
ing sign of the times, indicating the existence
of more patriotic and moderate opinions
among leading Republicans on t.,e subject
of reconstruction than have heretofore been
avowed by them, is the following announce
ment by Mr. Horace Greeley, a prominent
and influenced leader of the party, of his
present views on that subject. Iu a letter to
the National Intelligencer he says:
I desire and labor for peace. Peace be
tween our coimtry and all others. Peace be
tween the North and South. Peace betweeu
white aDd black. We have had enough of
war and waste, of havoc and carnage, lor at
least ft century. HeDce I have long labored
for true and lasting peace. I can conceive
no possible good to our country, to any coun
try, to any section, race or class, that is like
ly to be secured or promoted by alienation
between the President and tbe Congress of
the United States On the contrary, it seems
to me that every peril that now threatens U 9,
every evil that now weighs upon us would
be aggravated : every good put at hazard,
every liopu clouded, if not blasted, by such a
malign, untoward collision. I hove come
here to do whatever I can, however little that
may be, toward avoiding such a catastrophe,
but I am not, aa your paragraph would seem
to imply thut lam the advocate of any es
pecial plan of reconstruction. I urge only
that the President and Congress, each res
pecting the others constitutional prerogatives
and personal convictions shall freely anil
trustfully cooler, discuss and consider with a
profound deference for each others patriot
ism, and an earnest desire to agree on a
course of action which they shall mutually
deem just and beneficent. Let the great
problem of reconstruction be approach*!
from all sides in this spirit, and 1 teel sin's
that a benign solution will be speedily at
tained. Our difficulties are aggravated by
the fact that our p&sition is essentially novel.
I can recall no parallel in human history. It
is complicated by questions affecting tbe na
tural rights of treedmen, and our moral ob
ligations to them aa our human allies in the
late momentous struggle. That we may
promptly re establish the Southern States iu
all their original rights and liberties without
sacrificing those of any poition of the Ameri
can people, is the earnest desire of
Yours, Horace Grekly.
MARITIME CONGRESS.
This' is a most auspicious period for holi>
ing a congress of the maritime nations of the
world. The passions engendered by war
have been quieted ; but it has given rise to
many questions which have been unsettled
aud require a more settled rule than has ob
tained in the code of nations. The rightß and
duties of neutrality have been unadjusted by
that code, which has given rise to differen
ces nearly leading to war between neutrals
and'belligerents in the late conflict between
the Federal government and the Confederate
States. Tire 111 defined limits which have so
long prevailed between neutral and belliger.
ent rights, should no longer disgrace a code
that has been designed as a rule of action
between civilized powers.
Such a congress should embrace represen
tatives from all countries both of the old aud
new woild, whose rights and interests are
open to injury from hostilities at sea. Tie
United States, Great Britain, France and
Prussia constitute the maritime powers the
most interested in the adjustment of such
questions as are likely to be brought before
such a convention. There is much cogency
of reasoning in the London Saturday Review
on this subject iu tbe following extract :
“No amount ot vigilance, for example,
could have prevented the issue from our ports
of the Sbenabdoah , and, therefore, we could
not be t ailed to account for her escape. But
it is an injury to the neutral that its munici
pal laws should have been infringed with the
connivance of a foreign government, and this
injury is sufficient to warrant a strong re
monstrance on the part of the neutral. The
safety of tbe maritime world is also imperilled
by the underhand proceeding of tlie belliger
ent, and tbe neutral is entitled to protest, not
only in its own name, but in that of all neu
tral nations. If such a course of unfriendly
proceedings were persisted in after remon
strance had been made against it, the neu
tral would be justified in going to war witb
tbe offending belligerent. In many cases, it
is true, tbe iujnred neutral would not dare to
go to war. But a nation which is too weak
to protect itself may neverlbeleas appeal to a
general feeling of what is right among civiliz
ed nations; aud a nation that has a high sense
of houor and dignity does not like to find the
verdict of general opinion against it, even
though it may be free from the appreheßsion
that the number of its open and active ene
mies is likely to be increased. It would be
the business of a maritime congress to create
this body of general opinion by laying down
F in explicit terms that a neutral is injured
I from whose port a cruiser has been launched
by the secret contrivance of a foreign gov
ernment. The experiment whether such a
body of opinion could not be created, and
whether it might not prove more efficacious
if it were created, is at least worth trying ;
and England will have great cause to rejoice
if the meeting ot a congress to give this
lupount of sanction and force to tlie decisions
1 oi neutrals were the result of our preseut un
■ toriunale difference with the United States. ”
THE SENATE DEBATE ON THE PHKSI
- MESSAGE.
After the reading of President Johnson' 8
Message in the Senate on Tuesday, uu ani
mated and rather excit’mg debate sprung up.
Mr. Sumner characterised the message as
being “like the whitewashing message of
Franklin Pierce, with regard to the uttio
cities in Kansus, aud was designed to cover
up or cooceal certain transactions—a state of
things infiuitely worse tbnn the transactions
in Kansas.)’ On being taken to task by )(r.
Doolittle, for tbe use of such luuguage iu re
lereuce to tbe message of tbe Cnief Magi
irate ol tbe Union, Air. riumnur replied, —"J
have nothing to qualify, nothing to modify,
notbiug in retract. In former days there was
but oue Kansas to suffer under llieg^jo <vt-r

tres, lias mysteriously disappeared wilh

i —Mrs. Jane Hwishclm, the strong minded
woman, is advocating the employment of
females in the government offices. Like
.Mrs. Bloomer, she “pants for fame," and is
inclined to be mad that the sex are depriyed
of the inalienable right to sing bass.
—Gen. Grant's pay as Lieutenant General,
amounts to $9,2+0 per annum. With a house
at Galena, one in, Philadelphia, and another
in Washington, we don’t see how he man
ages to make both ends meet, especially
when we remember that eggs arc forty-five
cents a dozen, and butter about sixty cents
a pound There is only one way to account
lor it, and that is, Mrs. Grant must be an
economical housekeeper.
—Gen. Lee may be seen every day
walking to his duties at the college, At Lex
ington, Va., or taking an evening ride on
his fttmous iron gray. He has been board
ing at tire hotel, but his house is now being
fitted up in suitable style for the reception of
his family. Ex-Governor Letcher may be
daily seen in the streets, quietly 9moking his
pipe and thiking wilh his old triemls and
neighbors. The burning of his house and
furniture by Gen. Hunter was a serious loss
to him, hut he is making a comfortable sup
port by the practice of his profession.
Some ot the Virginia admirera of Lee have
recently presented him with a magnificent
piano.
—Tbe Dutch Ambassador at Washington
has made a piteous api>eal to an increase of,
pay on the ground of the increase of the cost
of liviug in this country, stating that he is so
hard up that he is obliged to give up his es
tablishment aud take lodgings over a barber’s
shop. But the government of the Nether
lands baa refused his reasonable request.
-—The interminable divorce case of Edwin
Forrest, the actor, has taken a novel shape.
He uppeals to the Supreme Gourt of the
United Slates to set aside the action of the
Supreme Gourt of New York, which granted
his wife a divorce—his ground being that the
marriage occurred in England, and the
Courts of this country have no business to
meddle with it.
—lt is estimated that during the rebellion
upwards of 2,000,000 bales of cotton and
30,000 boxes of tobacco were smuggled out
of tue Confederacy, and aa immense amount
of munitions of war smuggled in, through
the direct agency of Mr. Crawford, the Bri
tish Consul at Havana.
The Naval Department has received ad
vices from Commander Brasher, of the Paci
fic Squadron, dated at Callao, November 21,
stating that the Government of Peru had de

against the aggressions of Spain.
The Government detained oue vessel at
Boston destined for Europe, and another at
Delaware Breakwater, hound for India, via
Bnizil, for fire purpose of taking out the

thorized to transport mails, passengers and
freight between any two States of the Union,
auy attempt of a Slate to create or perpetu
ate a monopoly of qucii transportation to the
contrary notwithstanding.
The New York Tribane, noticing the ac
lion of the House on this measure, says i
“We have but a faint hope that this hill

ter of a million dollars to defeat it; and we

Dear Sir,—J have been afflicted many years with
severe prostrating cramps in iqy limbs, cold feet and
hands, and a general disordered system. Physicians
and medicines failed to relieve me. While visiting
some friends in New York who were using Plantation
Bitters, they prevailed upon me to try them. I com
menced with a small wiuc-glassful after dinner. Feel
ing better by degrees, in a few duys I was astonished
to find th«» coldness and crampff hud entirely left me,
und I could sleep the through, which I have not
ddne for years. I feel like another being. My appe
tite and strength have also greatly improved by me
uso of the Plantation Bitters,
