Of cotirse the Keliel leailer aro not anx
ious that the ilireful results of the mail l!e
bellion into w hich a few of tin in have, hur
ried the people, of eleven States hhotild lie
seen at one glance. The reports of losses,
therefore, we generally very unrelialile. Of
the losses in many of the battles fought it
is sniil that no reports have ever heeti given.
They tire elelayed until the occurrence.- of
other liat'leit causes the puhiie to lo.se sight
of the intentional omission.
The Knoxville llijjvrtn; however, states
that "Claiik'n Diary of.tht! War for Sepuru
tiun," has the following estimate of killed,
wounded and missing from the commence
ment of the war to t he first of .lanuary, 18(l!
"Confcderates.-"Killed, 2O,S0;l ; vvouudeil
(511,013; prione:rs, 22.1U9; total 112,(17?.
I lied from disease and wounds, l:3U,000.''
This estimate Is one of their own making,
and even this shows a very heavy :oss. Itut
we have no confidence iu its aciuiacy. A
few months .since wo gave to our readers an
estimate founded on the tallies contained in
the XaHnul Ahimnue. This table includes
their losses from the commencement until
the 27th of December, 1802. According to
this authority, tlu-ir reported losses, exclu
sive of those in the seven days' buttle before
liichmond, those in the battles at Corinth,
those in lieu hint battle nf Hull Pun anil in
many smaller contests, aniotinteil to 20,100
killed, (i(),:las wounded, and -13,."i I J prison
ers, total of loU.OOO. We think that we are
making a very low estimate when we put
the actual losses at 2,000 killed. 80,(100,
woumled, itiid 50.000 prisoners, a total of
102.000. We believe that this coines short
of the truth, though it presents an aggre
gate of .10,01111 mote than the Kcbcl accounts'
admit. If we add the deaths from disease
and wounds lu the number of the killed,
we shall have a total of l(i,000, or an aver
age mortality of 8000 per month for the past
twenty-one months of the Kebellion. If that
has been continued up lo the present lime,
as probably it has, we must add to the. sad
list 43,000 more, making a total mortality
of 210,0110. This, too, it must be remem
bered, is only the number of actual deaths.
It is proliable that a number nearly as hit be
have been disabled by a wounds or disease.
If this supposition be correet, then we have
the total list of ilead 4111I distillled amount
ing to 4:2.0itO. All this vast amount of
death and Milfering is to be laid by their
own people to the charge of .lelVerson Davis
and his b How Kebels ami conspirators. Will
they never call them to a fearful reckoning?
This sacrifice has been made as the result of
tlii-ir machinations ami for what I
The rc-tilt of this calculation we wish lo
push a little further. We showed, some two
years since, that a levy tn iimmv; in the Kc
bcl States, of all between the ages of eight
teen and ti'ty, would only give a total of
1.10!l,t01. If. thcn,4:!2,OUO have been taken
already from this total, we have a retnain
iler of 0i 7,00.1. This represents the whole
of the present available population between
the ny,es ol' eighteen and lil'ty, from which
the army and' navy can be recruited, even
supposing the average rate of nWrVidity at
home to have been no greater than in for
mer years. The average rate, however, we
presume, has been much greater, ami by no
much is their available strength diminished.
It will readily be seen thai their lighting
material is wasting rapidly away, lleiiee
the unsparing conscription. And hence the
importance of now making with our forces
a determined movement along the whole
line; or, if we have not men enough iu the
field of this, .lro necessity of putting them
there at the earliest possible moment.

These are numerous in the suburbs of the
capital of Japan, of wliieh the romantic
town of Dang-o-Zaka is one. The most
curious objects in one of these gardens were
imit'tlion Ak.Vji, made! up out of the (lowers
of the chrysanthemum. Thousands of flow
ers are used for this purj'usvj, Kind as these
artificial beauties smiled upon the visitors
out of the little alcoves or slimmer houses,
the effect was something rather startling.
Mr. Fortune visited garden after garden,
each of wliieh was crowded with plants,
some cultivated ill pots, ami other in the
open ground, ninny of which were entirely
new to Ktirope, and of great interest aud
value. A great number ot new shrubs and
trees, mnny of them probably well suited to
the Knglish climate, was here purchashed
by out; traveler.
In exploring the country and gardens
about Su-mae-yah and Ogee, in tho same
direction as Dang-o-Zaka, but somewhat
farther from Yedo, Mr. Fortune found
"park like scenery, trees and garden j, neatly
clipped hedges succeeding each other, until
he arrived nt the village of Su-mae-yah."
The whole country here, he says, is covered
with nursery gardens. "One straight ronel
more than a mile in lciioth, is lined with
them," tind he remarks he had never seen in
any part of the world such a large number
of plants cultivated tor sale. Kach nursery
covers three or four acres of land, is nicely
kept, and contains thousands of plants, both
iu pots ami in the open ii'otind. As these
nurseries are generally much alike in their
features, a description of one will given
good idea of the others.
"On entering the gateway there is a pret
ty little winding path leading up to the
proprietor's house which is usually situated
near the cetitie of the garden. On each
side of this walk are planted specimens of
the hardy ornamental trees and shrubs of
the country, many of which nrc dwarfed or
clipped into round table forms. The beau
tiful little yew (In rv iiiujhiiIh.) occupies a
prominent place among the dwarf shrubs.
Then there are the different species of pines,
thujas, retitiosporas. and the beautiful
Srj, ,j,;t I, rtitinlntir, ail duly leprcsented.
Plants cultivated iu pots are Usually kept
near the hous of the nursery man, or enclos
ed with a fence of bamboo work. These are
cultivated and arranged much in the same
way as we do such things at home. The
Japanese gardener has not yet brought, guess
houses to his aid for the protection and cul
tivation ol tender plants. Instead of this,
houses, sheils and rooms are tilled with
shelves, into which all the tender things are
huddled together for shelter during the cold
months ol' w inter." Here Mr. Fortune found
some South American plants, such a cacti,
aloes. Ac, "which have found their way
here, although as yet unknown in China ; a
fact which shows the enterprise of the Japan
ese in a favorable light" over that uf their
neighbors.
In Japan tind China, ehvarf plants are
greatly esteemed ; and the art ot dwarfing
has been brought to a high state of perfec
tion. President Meylan. in 1820, saw a box
which he describes as only one inch siptaie:
by three inches high, in wliieh were actually
growing ami thriving a bamboo, a fir, and a
plum tree, the latter being in full blossom.
The price of this portable grove was 120(1

Soon after his arrival he wrote to his wiie

I ltlessed be the laud, and thrice blessed, aud

I Iii the hist , 'Prairie Farmer'' we find some
excellent suggestions on the subject of prun
ing fruit trees, by J. T. Elliott, of Grand
Kapids, Michigan. They accord exactly
with what we have said over und over again
for many years in these columns. His com
munication is dated May, and la-gins thus :
"The season for trimming fruit trees is
approaching," and then goes ou as fol
lows :
"We all remember the ohl apple ami pear
trees, where 1 New England) we had to be
'boosted' to reach the lower branches; anil
coming out here, we have imitated our
fathers' follies, and fared worse than they.
They pruned in February und March, ami
we have known no better. Letting go any
discussions of w hat their interests may be
and looking at home all experience I hope
will not be lost on us. "Prune w hile the
wooil is growing if you wish the si'urs tu
heal quick and sound. Say in June."
"Hcgin your business while the tree is
voting, ami don't be sparing ot jour knife.
Take off all bearing branches thut will ever
need it, and thus save the taking of thciu off
when they get large. This being properly
done w hen young, will save much labor and
loss in after" years. We ure apt to leave on
too iiianj limbs.
"Limbs that grow close together, and
parallel, and that cross, must have one of
litem removed. The lormation of crotches
must be uvoided, or else w e lose more or less
of trees by splitting down w heu they get to
bearing, if practical, establish a leading
branch, and grow laterals at intervals. Some
will need little, and other sorts much cut
ting." Mr. Elliott ulso advises to grow heads low,
with the lower branches not over two feel,
if possible, from the ground. They stand
tho high winds U-tter, are handsomer, and
the fruit is more easily got ut. If the plow
cannot approach the tree iu consequence of
this system of growiug. so much the better,
as a plow never ought to get near any fruit
tree. All this is sound doctrine. Low
branched tree also protect their trunks
against the hot suu of summer, which some,
times is verv injurious, as well as to
a certain extent, against, th
freezing ami
thawing process ot winter.

for hogs should always be cooked, aud, itt
cold weather fed to them warm, and in a
warm place, gives the following statement,
of his maimer of preparing the daily food,
and the cost thereof, for his swino ; his busi

for sale :
Take six pounds of beef scraps, at a cost
of nine cents, boil in two pails of water,
scald in two quarts of corncob meal at a
cost of three cents, add six pails of water,
and yon have good swill enough to feed six
store hogs and eight small fihoat once, nt
an expense nf twenty-four cents. This dor.e
twice each day is stillicient to keep brcedinr
sows or store pig? in good condition. This
li the exact quantity I am feeeling to the
number of hogs mentioned. I slaughtered
two fat hogs iast fall, fed in this way until
the time to fatten them had arrived, after
which they had 'heir usual feed thickened
to a dough w ith corn and cob meal only,
and ut the age of sixteen months the two
weighed over 1000 pounds.
