We account for it on the princi ple laid down by the poet , j "Vice is a monster pf such hideous mein, . That, to be hated, needs but to be seen But, seen too oft familiar with its face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace." ' We admit that familiarity with scenes of danger and distress produces callousness and indifference in man fo a greater or less extent, depending upotf the state or condition of the individual". 7hns7Efl7 urar state, will become utterly hardened and indiffer ent to sights and sounds of physical suffering, by fa miliarity with them,. But this,' we affirm, is true, mainly, of the natural niHo, whose heart has not been touched by grace who goes not to the source of light and strength who is without God and without hope who looks npou this world as tbe "Be-all and the end-all here. ' . 1 And who, upon this bank and shoal of time, Does jump the life to come." But while we admit this of the unrenewed man, we maintain that it ought not to be, is .not, and eannot be the cage with tbe christisn. It is morally impos sible. We 'wish to be understood. - There is a ve't difference bllween profesbion and principle. Profes sion is not posteetion. Were every professor of reli gion a christian, we should not have been rurscd with tills war. Cbribtunity is the same every where. " Its great feature is love to God and man. God supremely. IJis. neighbor ssJbiniBeLf. This .is its essence. Now where there is cbnstianiiyf.thcre mutt be love. Where there is lore, there will be no suffering that love en mitigate. Noir apply the rule, and it will not be hard to dlstiuguith between the mere proffuor and the Lena fiJe christian. . Who are these whose hearts are callous, and whose ears are deaf to the calls of eharifv? Who have lines in rhyme for your consideration: Observe the envious and malicious man, Projecting all the mischief that he can When fair policies will not prevail, . lie will ue foul rather than fail, .

The number of soldiers that hare been killed and died in tbe service from 'each State may somewhat be approximated from tbefol-. lowing: To 31st Dec. last the following number of applica tions bad been filed in the 2d Auditor's office by will ows and orphans of deceased soldiers: Virginia 2,945; North Carolina 8,201; South Carolina 4,611; Georgia 9.0o4;'Alabama 8,000; Texas 1,224; Tennessee 871; Florida 66trArkans bCl; Louisiana 827, aud MiseU sippi. 3.270. , General Orders No. 80, issued !3th October, 18C2, required that eommandeie of companies, immediately on the death of a soldier, shall make out and forward to the 2d Auditor a descriptive Ilt showing the came,' when and where enlisted, from what eause he died, and when last paid. . .. , . . ' Surgeons in charge of Hospitals era at.s required to make similar reports of altaaldiert who Ui , Tbe following nnmV-er bad been reported up ti,the 31st Iec. last: Virginia 6,943; North Carelioa ",W2; South Carolina 2 &0; Alabama 8,987; Tennessee 2. 839; Florida 1,119; Arkansas 1.918; and Texs- 6,377. These returns show a great deal of negligence by Cap tains anil Burgeons in reporting the deaths of Soldiers. tThe New York Times comments very ration ally on the proposition to march one million of.Yan- . ke ioto tbe South.

If not, it is high time something was done. It is the only hope for the poor. Will the Commissioner of taxes order a re-ast-estmei.t for this county? We hope he will.
