Of this number not more than four hundred thousand (400,000') were enrolled at any one time; and the Confederate States never had in the field more than two huudred thousand (200,000) men capable of bearing arms at any one time, exclusive of sick, wouuded, and disabled. If the preceding calculation be correct, wo have the following figures, illustrating the losses of the Confederate armies during the war: Confederate forces actively engaged, 1861-8... 000,000 Total deaths In C. 8.

A. by discharges, (Usability, and desertion 100,000 If this calculation, which is given only as an approximation, be correct, one-third of all the men actively engaged on the Confederate side were cither killed outright upon the field or died of disease aud wounds; another third of the entire number were captured and held for an Indefinitejieriod in Northern prisons; and ot the remaining 400.000 at least one-half were lost to the service by discharges and desertion. At the close of the war the available force of the Confederate States numbered scarcely 100,000 effective men. The resolution, unsurpassed bravery, and skill with which the Confederate leaders conducted this contest are shown by the fact that out of 000,000 men in the field about 500,000 were lost to the service. At the close of the war the 100,000 Confederates were op posed to one million (1,000,000) Federal troops. Your approval or disapproval of this calcula tion is most respectfully solicited. The distin guished ability with which you discharged the responsible and arduous duties of Adiutant Geueral of the Confederate army qualifies you, above every other officer of the late Confederate States, to decide how far such calculations may approach to accuracy.

Under the head of "Divorce Extraordinary," the Weston (Platte couuty) Landmark, of the 10th ultimo, omitting the names of the parties, gives the followiug: "Wo have just learned that an old gentleman, aged ninety-lour years, and his wife, aged eighty-seven, residents of Pettis township, after living together for seventy years, concluded the other day to dissolve their marital relation. They made au equal division of their property and went separate ways. A more remarkable divorce case is seldom heard of." A moLt delightful sensation was nipped in the bud the other night. A lovely and charm ing blonde of Oxford, England, whoso father was cruelly obdurate, hud nearly escaped through the window to join her anxious sweet L:att, who had arrauged everything for an im- mediate wedding. A she put her delicate foot t'irough the window upon the first round of the ladder, nlas! alas! her crinoline caught upon the bell-haudle by the fireplace, and the poor - girl, unable to advance or retreat, was detained until a chambermaid accidentally entered the room and released her from her perilous posl (lon. Of course the bell created an alarm, which rendered elopement impossible. The inhabitants of Alrdiie (Scotland) have during the past week been much exercised by a rumor that a ghost was in the liablt of nightly haunting Chapel street aud Its vicinity. Various reports were circulated as to the affair some -affirming that ti e ghest had .corue out of Chapel street churchyard, having been forced therefrom by the overcrowding that prevails there; while others confidently stated thnt it was merely a siily prank. One night lately a young woman was proceeding home, aud had reached a dark part of the street, when she met the ghostly ap parition, which was a tall figure with a black lace, and habited iu a white garment, which had a luminous appearance. oho was so overcome that she faiutud away. The tilrl's mother, look ing out of the window of her house, also saw the ghost going down Wellington street, and got such a fright that she took to her bed, and, wo uuderfetund, is still ill. Three young men who had heard of these circumstauces went out for the purpofo of meeting the ghost and punishing it. flielr wish was gratified, h it a tslght of the fearful spectacle, as one of them termed It, proved too much for tlicir courage, ana mey ran away. One Monday - night the ghost proceeded to a brickfield in the vicinity for the purpose of obtaining a light for his pipe at one of the kilns there, being evidently human enough to partake of the fragrant weed. While en loving las smoke no was suddenly in terruptcd by the appearauco of some of the workmen, who, teeing his strange guise, seized him and demanded his name. The ghost proved to be a tall man, with hia face covered with a black mask, and himself wrapped np in a white sheet, lie refused to tell them his name, b it stated that he was doing it for a wager, at th9 same time begging to bo released. The mm took pity on him aud let him off, and Chapel street has since been freed of his presence. It is certainly to bo regretted that the men did not detain the ghost lor a night in a pollec-cell, when the infliction of a Rmart fine in the morn ing would have made him hesitate the next time lie was inclined to repeat his foolish aud cruel pranks.

The murderer In CiiMndv An Important Wlt u8H in Arrest. At a late hour on Saturday night John Hughes was cruelly murdered ou the (Jhesnut Street Bridge, while on his way homo from the glass works at which he was employed, in West Philadelphia, Several arrests were made on Sunday by the detec tives, and among the number was a young man by the name of Kdward Smith. On being Questioned he denied any knowledge of the ail'alr, aud also deuied havlug anything to do with the larceny of a shawl from a colored woman on the bridge, on which charge he had been princi pally arrested. However, Chief Kelly has been hard at work, and this morning secured an Important witness in the shape of John Conway, a companion of Smith. He was questioned closely, and being hard pressed admitted that Smith and Hughes had a scullle, the former striking first. Hughes, he says, then replied with a blow, when Smith drew a knife and plunged It Into the breast of Hughes, who fell. smith then caueu conway, anu togotner tney lert the bridge, went to Market street, and returned to the bridge ; Smith walked up to the dead body of llugDes, and leeiing the pulse said lie was dead; Conway said, "Yes, and you did it ;" Smith answered, "I know I did, but for Uod's sake don't tell on mo." Conway then advised Smith to throw the knife away, which he said he had already done. Conway is now in custody.

Sun Hear Sir: There seems to be no longer any doubt tli tit Mr. A. K. Corbin, brother-in-law of President Grant, has stated to your reporter that he did not associate with such men as myself; that I had not been to his house since last summer; that he had never communicated with me respecting gold opera tions ; and that Mr. Grant would not hold an inter view with any such man as myself. These statements make it necesesry ror me to state that Mr. Corbin has constantly associated with me; that I have been in his house repeatedly since lant biimu er ; that 1 visited him on the very after noon of the day on which he made these state ments: and that he spent more than hour with me in the Erie Kauway oiiice on the afternoon or Satur day, September 25, the day after the gold panic. It is further proper for ma to say that Mr. Corbin has been a party In interest with us, aud others wnose names it is not now necessary to mention, in the recent gold (peculation, and that he has con stantly communicated with me respecting tills gold speculation. j n tact, air. corum was in tnis speculation long beioro i was. It had been organized and carried ou by him u; d other gentlemen lor some weeks before I knew ol its existence. He is en'ltled to almost tho cut he redlt of originating the grand scheme for advancing tne price or gold, aim l wi.imgiy disclaim in his favor the honor so kindly Imputed to me by the press in general of having devised this bold and brilliant operation. It was the fruit of Mr. Corbin's own suggestive miuu; and long before I knew anything of it, Mr. Corbin's representations concerning the powerful iiiilu nee which he could bring to bear In favor of the speculation had enlisted iu his support other Kent.enieii of incuts and capacity; aud it is only juBi to my that Mr. Corbin's assurances on this polut were ru-iy carried out up to tne ziiu ci septomoor. as to tne remaining point oi Mr. corutirs state ments, it is sntllcleiit to refer to the Associated Press despatch from Washington this morning, by which It w ill be seen that General Grant speaks freely of an Intel view which he had with me ou my boat last summer, and which was exceedingly pleasant on both tides. I enclose you a few affidavits, which will give you further ii formation concerning this matter. I remain your obedient servant, James Fisk, Jr. TI1U NEW Volt K flIONKY MARKET. Tlie following extracts snow the state of tho Now Y'ork money market yesturnay : From the Herald. "The week opened without excltemont on the strut t. No niord failures were reported to-day, all hough there was considerable buying and selling under the rule for the account of firms whose sus pension has been already announced. The stock market was In the main strong, but dull. Tho Vau derbilt stocks were weak and went off about two per cent., recovering partially towards tho close of the day. The signs are that tho cliques are agdln forming among themselves after the recent shin- wreck of everything liko a speculative combina tion. The outside pulillc are still afraid to enter ttie market, or too poor to do so, aud hence tho prevail ing dullness. In the afternoon Lake Shore took an upwa d turn to 85. on lhe announcement that tiio UTeit rs hid selected George H. Kly for Trea surer in place of I.cgrand T.ockwool. Mr. Kly was foinitrly Treasurer of tin Cleveland, Ashtabula, aud Payuisvilie It 1 way, (he nucleus of tlio Lake Shore consolidated lines. Tills buoyancy was followed by a r'-nction, when it was stated that the investigation of the treasurership showed au iudi bto liiess to tho . n.iHt'V fr'm Mr. Lock wood of nearly two millions of dollar?, which amount would be reduced, it was tuougiii, uy iiiawuacKs und by Mr. Lockwood's ability to pay fifty cents on tho dollar to six or seven hundred thousand dollars. Tho election of Mr. Kly instead of Mr. Hanker gives color to a report that Jay Gould and Daniel Drew have united to render assistance to Lockwood fc Co., for the purpose of p itting them in operation agalu. This will explain ttie sudden change of front on the part of tlie Vunderbilt party last week. The Erie party seem determined on getting the Lake Shore road in furtherance of their pluu of a through route to Cliicai o. Hence their anxiety to prevent the eventual winding up of Lockwood & Co., which would throw the stock into the Commodore '8 hands. On the oi her hand, the directors of the Lake Shore, who assembled to-day, are very conservative in their policy, aud, while ambitious of a through lino, are apprehensive ol ill results should they aillllute too closely with the Krlo party. So stands the matter f r the r 'sent.. The stock market was heavy in its t d icy, but was sustained by lhe easy condition of the money marke, where iho rate ou call was seven per cent on miscellaneous collaterals up to within a few minutes of 8 o'clock, when there was a pressure to lend at 0 per cent Tho Government market was subjected to the depressing influence or large sales by tho foreign bankers, and priceB on the leading issues fell oil' about three-quarters per ceiit.

Deitjiatch to the Associated Press. Bethlehem, Oct. 5. The rain storm which commenced hero on Saturday afternoon seems to have extended in all directions, and was par ticularly heavy and violent in the Lehigh Valley. At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, it had attained its highest, being twenty feet above low water mark, and within fifteen inches of the high water mark of 1862. That portion of Bethlehem between the Lehigh river and Monocacy creek is under water. The Penns3ivania House and Fetter's Hotel arc very much damaged. The bridges at this point have sustained but little damage. An immense amount of valuable lumber was swept away from hero. Tho water is into the Bethlehem Iron Works. It ran into the furnaces at Allentown at noon. The Crano Iron Works at Catasnuqua are inundated, aud the loss is very great. Wcissport is completely inundated. Tlie beautiful iron bridge opposite the Mansion House, at Mauch Chunk, was swept down the stream. At 9 A. M. thirty-seven coal barges went over the dam at that point, and nil are a complete wreck. Broadway there is entirely under water, and several houses were washed into the stream. The booms at White Haven are all broken, and great rafts of timber are floating down. The loss to lumbermen at White Haven is very heavy. The Lehigh Valley Railroad at Catasauqua is washed. The Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad sus tains the heaviest damages, being washed away at many points between White Haven and Beth lehem. The canal is washed cast of the town, and the loss is great. Telegraphic communica tions are all destroyed north of Catasauqua. Itobbery at Heading. Reading, Oct. 5. Tho jewelry store of C. D. Buck was entered during last night, and robbed of over $500 worth of goods. The burglary is supposed to have been induced by tho absence of gas-light in consequence of the damage to the city gas works by tho freshet. The following despatch, which has just been received, will give some further information of the flood and its subsidence: Catasauqua, Oct. 5, I860. E. W. Clark, President Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com pany: On our way to Catasauqua with con struction train. Will reach there about 12 o'clock. Damage to canal not so great as ex pected, i So far as I have seen and heard, it can be repaired in from fifteen to twenty days. The railroad can be opened in a few days. The river has fallen six to seven feet, and all danger of luriner damage is past. J. L,eisenhino.

London, Oct. 5. There has been an interrup tion of the telegraphic communication between England and Spain during to-day, which is at tributable iu part to a storm which has prevailed on tho coasts, but in the main to the cutting of the telegraph wires communicating with the various ports of Spain by the insurrectionary forces operating at certain points inward from the t-horo line of that country. The latest advices to hand previously report that a battle had taken place at Espera Guerra between the Government troops under General Palacios and a republican force mustering eleven hundred strong. The revolutionists were dispersed and compelled to retreat to tho moun tains, after nn obstinate resistance, during which they lost forty men killed aud sixty wounded, and had twenty-three of their number made prisoners. Tho Government troops lost twenty men killed and thirty-eight wounded. The American-Cuban, diplomatic difficulty is regarded as terminated. Tho Spanish Govern ment refuses all olTora of foreign mediation In the case, maintaining tho position that the con dition of affairs in Cuba is a domestic question entirely.
