The Chronicle in Monday’s issue, says: “Tbe civil war cost the Federal Gov ernmetit $5,000,000,000, and the States, cities, and counties of the North half as much more in bounties and gifts, and the other half iu loss of productive la bor.’ 1 Which may be [tit in tabular form thus : Cost to the Federal Govern ment.... ....... .. ....$5,000,000,000 Cost to the Spates, cities, and counties of the North 2,500,000,000 Cost in the loss of productive labor 2,600,000,000 Coat of the war to the Federal Government and the North. .$10,000,000,000 This is the estimate ol the Chronicle, makiDg tbe cost of the war the enor mous sum of ten billiom Put this is not the total cost to tho couutry. It is only the cost to the Federal Government and the North What the Sontbern States, as a part of the country, lost, is not put down. Add this to the tea fcil* lions, and wbat sum have we ?

Tlie Si 11111)1 of a Fij>e. Wn were making !licupward (rip from Memphis. A mo'ley crowd, such as i< usually found on a Mississippi steam boat, thronged tho saloon, but a party of us, indies and gentlemen, bad with drawn to ono sido. We were baring quite an animated discussion ou tbe use aud abuso of that universally esteemed narootic, tobacco, brought on, no doubt, by the fumes of an old clay pipo, held tigh ly between tbe teeth of a rough, weather-beaten man, sitting at no great distance from ns. Though our words were not intonded for his ears, many of them, no doubt, reached bitrf; for who ever hoard a dis cussion carried on in very low tones 1 He apparently paid no attention to us, however, until Miss Carr, a beautiful brunette from Southern Georgia, gave her opinion. “For my part, I do not like the stuff,” said she, in a clear, mtlsioal voice, at the same time casting an arch glance at the unconcerned knight of the clay pipe; “but there are many things that I do like, and I should feel very angry if any one presumed to take them away. So I say. if one enjoys a good smoke, let him enjoy it; aud if you, or you, or you, do not like tbe particular kind of pipe that one uses, move out of the way of it, or—buy another.” "That’s so, every time !” said the smoker, tising and coming toward us. "B:g your pardon, all of ye, but I’ve heard everything ye said, and if ye've no objections, I’ll tell yo what makes me think so much of aD old clay pipe.— And I’m oblcoged to ye, martn,” turn ing to Miss Carr. “Tbeui’s my senti ments every time. “You see, I'm an out and put back woodsman, hunter, trapper, and guide, born in Tennessee, edicatcd in Indiana, and went into business from the Missou ri to the mountains, amfthere I’ve flour ished ever since. “i was way out in the mountains. I had just toOii a train through, and was on my way back with two other chaps •old trappers like myself. Somehow 1 took siek, and we were obliged to camp for a week, to give me a chance to pick up agio. It. was real purty weather, and I enjoyed myself rollin’ around on he grass, while Jack aud Joe were sccu’iu’ round for game. But I did feel a leetle anxious ta be goin’. ‘ One day I was layin’ down under a tree, and I got sleepy. Ail at once I thought I heard something moving, through tho brush. I raised my bead and looked all round, but 1 couldn’t see nothing, the bushes were so thick. Thinks Ito myself: “ ‘YVrc dreaming, old boy. Better take a smoke, and git waked up !’ “So 1 drawed the old stump. It was jest like this, only f>ur or five sizes big ger—a rrg’lar old settler, and black as yer hat, sir. I’d smoked a sight, and got- kinder ’taehed to it. Well, 1 filled it—Joe used to say jt took a quarter of a pound to fill it handsomely—and theD went to the fire to light it. When I got onto my feet agin I heard a noise, and I was sure of it then. I turned purty quick, and there was a good-sized grizzly, jest ready to tnako for me Now, yo see, they oin’t no pleasanl chaps to rur. afoul of, even when ye have your ehootln’ irons with ye; and I tell ye, I fit as though 1M rsylher bo excused. My rifle was in the wag on, qnd the ciitter was between me and it. I couldn’t no more have got there than I could havo jumped ovet the moon ; so as he was coming purty lively I thought I’d tree. “Ttie trees wasn't much—scraggy little oaks and elms; but they were enough sight better than none—so 1 sprung lor a limb jest wflhin reach, ahd commenced to swing up • Old grizzly knowed in a minute what I was up to, afid afore 1 could get out his reach, he raised and grab bed me. He got his paws round my legs, and one of my ole* boots into his mouth, and there he stood, and there 1 hung. He didn’t pull vury hard, but I was kinder weak, and couldn t have hung onto the limb an awful while if there hadn’t been no bear at the lower end of ino I knowed if ev er I dropped it would be iny everlast ing drop, so I sot my wits to work to scare up some plan to make grizzly let go. “The old pipe was ntween tny teeth j yet, and I was smoking away right j smart, and thinkio’. 1 looked down] and seen a corner of his mouth that my boot didn't fill. Don t laugh, stran guiv ’Twasn’t because tho bool was small, but tbe b’ar respected the size of it, and ouly took hold of tho heel. Well, as 1 said before, there was a lit tie corner open, and l thought I’d jest drop the old pipe into K, tobaoey, ash es, tire, and smoke, and see bow bb and like it. It was a leelle reeky, for, you sec, I should have to hang by one hand; but something had to be did, so 1 loosened my right band and got th« pipe. “I never shot a rifle ball truer than I sent that old pipe, plump right into old grizzly’s mouth, and when I seen that it was in, I kinder give a kick with my old boot, and kept it from fall ing out again. j “I tell ye, straDgers, b’nrs don’t like tobacey much better ban you do, especially when it’s mixed with ashes, ■ and fire, and an old clay pipe. Soon as he ever got a taste of it, and ’twasu’l long, be let go of me and commenced playing about ou the grass, spittim* an! chewing and snorting, to beat the old scratch, while I naturally climbed up into the tree and watched him smoke. j "I enjoyed it more than he did, for ye sec it was anew thing to him. He ’ rolled and tumbled about beautifully, for I expect tho fire burnt his * throat, and the tobacey didn’t help it any *At last he got into the camp-fire, and that ended tho performance. “He started oft through the brush, tumbling along quite funny, and I watched him, or, rayther, I watched the bushes as long as I could see ’em move. Then I climb down, and went to gettin’ supper for the boys, feelin’ purty w«ll tickled with the way I’d escaped. * I felt sorry ferona thing though, aDd that was because the varmint had chewed my pipe all to bits. I found some of the pieces, and I’ve got ’em yet. I might jest as well have saved tho old pipe, if I’d only thought, for, you see, the tobacey and the fire would have done him jest as well “Good-nmniin*, strangers. I guess I'll take another smoke.” And away he went, elbowing his way through the crowd. This ended our discussion, and hulf an hour later every gentleman of the parly was watching the blue wreaths of smoke from tho fragrant ci gar which ho loved so well, and won dering if he had not been quizzed just a “leetlo” by this trnppi g back woodsman.

At a meeting of the members of the Columbus Jar, the undersigned having been appointed a eommitee to report to an adjourned meeting what action they could most appropriately take to mani fest their high appreciation of the judi cial and private character of the Honor able Edmund H. Worrill, who is about to close an honorable, able and useful administration of more than fourteen years as Judge of the Chattahoochee Circuit, have the honor to report for your consideration the following resolu tions : 1. Resolved, That as fncmbcis of the Columbus Har, while we are pained at the announcement made by the Execu tive, that the judicial duties of,the Hon orable EfmuDd H. Worrill,-will cease after the first of July next, we will aid bis successor by all the means in our power to emulate tbe houorable exam ple of bis predecessor, trusting that at the.close of bis career we maj bo able to say to him, as we now do to the pres ent encumbent, “Well done, thou good and faithful public servant." 2. Resolved, That to direct the lion. Edmtind 11. Worrill of the insignia of office is not to depiiVe him cf his well earned boDors during an arduous and Irving administration, in which be Las satufied the Bar and the pioplo that oppressor’s wrong is powerless trhen tho Judge is Upright. Under his admin istration all have been equal before the law ; there has been do distinction as to race, color or condition ; justice has been meted out alike to the rioh and the poor, the bumble- and the strong-, without fear, favor or afLction. 3J. Resolved, I’bat tbe Honorable E imnnd H Worrill entered upon his judicial fuootions almost a stranger to the people of Muscogee county. He re tires from tho Bunch which he has adorned familiar to all, and carries with him the regrets and good wishes of the entire community. 4th. Resolved, Tuat the Hon. Mor tio J. Crawford, Chairman of the meet ing, be requested to present these reso lutions to the Honorable Edmund II Worrill, and express to him our earnest wishes that success may attend his efforts in whatover sphere he may move, and to assure him '.hat our most pleasura ble recoflection in the jast will he found in a recurrence to out professional in tercourse duiiug his official term, so in the future our sinccrcst hopes will be gratified In learuiug of his health, euc | cess and general prosperity ; and that Ibe further state that it is the unani ! taoti.i desire of the Bit that a copy of VOL. IV.--NO, 20. these resolutions shall.bo spread upon the mitiatoß of the Coart. Respectfully submitted by R J. Mos*B, H. L. iiBNNIJNa, Porter Ingram, J. M. Smith, B. A. Thornton, John Peabody, Committee, RKMAKKS OP JUDO* WORRILL. Judgo YVorrill, with muoh feeling addressed the membcis of tbe Bar a* follows: Gentlemen :—You can very well un derstand, gentlemen, that my emotions upon thia occasions are so deep aud hi'**tf*U that the simple langwagw at my command would be totally inad equate to the expression of my feelings. The evidenocs of public confidence which I have so often received at the hands of the people, have ever given me the sincerost satisfaction; not for the office which they have so often be* stowed upon me, but becaanse I havo regarded each re-election as a renewed approbation of my judicial course—and this feeling it, if possible, intensified by this manifestation of your confidence, at a time wher I have no longer the power to B'Tve you. It gives me the as* surance that the feeliogs of kindne s, I may say affection, which I feel to the Bar of the Chattahoochee Circuit, is re ciprocated by them, and that I may car ry into my retirement the recollections of thoir courtesy and friendship exhibi ted to mo throughout my judicial ca reer, and culminating in those partial and flatteiing resolutions. • My yearß on earth are nearly run, but as tbe shadows of death approach my path, the bright recil'ections of this cheiishod hoar will be the !a*t that will inger on my fading memory. I do not know that I have ever had an unkind fueling to a single member of the Bar; but if porcbaoco I have at any titno been misunderstood, allow me to say upon this occasion, that I feel that from you I have no wrongs to for» give, and towards you I havo no feeling, but such as springs from affection, friendship, and a grateful rccolcotion of your uniform kindness and courtesy. A Female Preacher-- Tbe latest s’cp in the woman move ment, iu New York, was the appear ance of tho “Rjv. Mis Van Cott,” in a metropolitan pulpit, last Sunday.— The “Rev.
