MILITARY RAILROADS.
tAe the rebel armies are beaten back they barn all iai-
Sonant: railroad bridges, tear up the railroad tracks,
eetioy the water stations, carry off the. machinery and
rolling stock, and do all that is in theirpower to render
the railroads uselets to our armies. .
-The armies are oblited to follow generally the natural
lines of transport and communication and the lines by
which the enemy retires All the railroads nurth of the ;
Potomac, and or the Tennessee and Cumberland, and

have been a tersately in ihe hands of'-the rebate sod of

gives information upbn the means and the cost of sup
pi? tag an araiy by railroad, and the manner, of repa>r
ioghnd reeon’tmcting raiteoads in a hostile country,
which ii of treat Interest to soldiers and engineer.' Tne
results are remarkable triumphs of military and en

they bavebten accomplished, to tne officers and, men
engaged in the work, and to the country which has dis
played such energy and suchrteourceslndafendiug aui
eeserting ite; integrity. Already a thousand miles of
railroad have been operated by-this Department, In
connection wiih the movements of the armies.
The mobility of the armies hag increased. The
opinion held by somVdffioers of rank in the earlier
;Msioiy of the tebeilion that an army oould.net be
maintained except within reach of a navigable river or
railroad; has been dispersed by such marches as those
of General bberman, from . east of Meridian
and. back to: Memphis- to Knoxsville

The Quartermaster General .stales that the flews ex
pressed in his report of 1862, la regard to the aid to he
expected and derived from the colored population, have
been confirmed by two-years* experience.' These per*
eoas have been extensively employed in the labors of
the Quartermaster General’s boTean; where each one
so'employed released a white soldier from labor, and
restores him to Ms place in line of battle. Their exten
sive enlistment hat created a demand, however, beyond
the supply; application bein* made to the.Quarter
ns aeUr General for such labor with the armies before
Richmond, which he was nn&ble to provide, he-en
deavored to procure colored men from the departments
of the Atlantic and Gulf coast, where it was publicly
reported that they were suffering for want of employ
ment. Hone could, he obtained fi om those departments,
however. The commander of one of them reported that
they were all wanted for labor necessary to the success

that not a man, woman, or child could he spared.

Since It Is practically demonstrated that the Severn

anybody’s propertj, money and income,to pay the
Government's debts, and even before a title can be
perfected on a fore closure of a first mortgage, the taxes
must be paid—thus proving that the tax la the prior
mortgage of all mortgages—we are quite sure that mo ■
InTSStmeot is so certain as a claim against the QoTerm-.

Of .the many institutions intended to mitigate the
soils of indigence, there are probably few that are more
commendable than the system ojf life insurance, from
the early part of 1843, the date when She practice of life
Insurance maybe said to have commenced rathe United
States,Mo the end of the year ISB3, a poilod of about
twenty years, there were leaned by American life com
panies mote than 500.000 ybUclei, covering Insurance for
about *550,00),€00, Daring, the year IBM alone there
were l.rued about 35,0(0 policies, insuring gtoi.ooo.ooo,
while In the year 1561 there were probably'inned 50.000
policies for *150.000,000., The total number Issued to
December, 1864, was therefore not lees then 250,m0,[m-
the inauredg ia ease of death, the enoriaoa*
sum of seven hundred millions of dollars. If there he
one cl ess of the community more than any other who
shonid most readily perceive and acknowledge the be

them, it is -certainly composed of those persons whose.
Impaired health admonishes them of the preesiag ns-.
ceißity of making that prevision for their Children or
dependents which most ever be a consummation to be
desired.. It Is much cheaper and better to effect insu
rance while in health than to delay it until the rates are
advanced.
The Comptroller of the Currency has issued a circular,
calling public attention'to a recent most Important
amendment of the national banking law. This amend
ment piovldes that the three hundred millions con
templated by the bank act be apportioned to the dif
ferent States and Territories In view of this enact
meat, no new-national banks can be organized until an
examination of the data oa which the apportionment is
io be based shall prove that tbs State or Territory asking
for them is x entitled to more Institutions of this cha
racter. The'apportionment will probably be grounded
upon the Congressional representation. The banking
bnr.au will aoon publish the bank ‘’Quotas." and
“credit*” of the different Statea, . .
The .mall notes (ones and twos) for the national
banks are now In the hands of the engravers. Some
time must elapse before they are issued to the banks;
