Tho Sisters Farewell. Tho following (says tlie Index and Bap tist,) were written, by a Christain in Sout h Cnrolina several yean ago, during her last illness, and were never in print before, so far as .wc aro informed. Their sainted author never put pen to paper after writing them, and lingering but a day or two, pass cd into the skies: Sister, death is o'er mo stealing. Earth is lading from iny sight; Angels o'er my bed are bending, Clad in robes of shining light. Sister i am parting from thee, J caving all life's tod and pain; Now 1 leave thee, sister dearest, Dili Ihou'lt yet he mine again. Yes, in yonder world of glory, Whore the heart no grief can feel, Where no sin shall mar our spirits, Sifter, we shall love there still, Brar a message to my brother ? Tell him lite is almost o'er! Far beyond death's foaming ocean, l.o, 1 pee the eternal shore. Give to him my dying message; Give to him my hist farewell, Tell him I am passing upward, In the better land to dwell. Soon, yes soon, my carthworn spirit Will be free from doubt and care: Sooe I'll reach the courts of heaven: " Tell him he must meet me there. ?o ? -> ? *? The Republic, a Washington magazine, presents some rather startling statistics concerning the different wars in which the United States have .been engaged.

During the rebellion, 270,089 f:flieers and men were hilled or wounded, vhile RG,749 were missing in action. Since tho commencement of the war the govern ment has paid, up to .Tune, 1871, in pen pioiis, over $251,000,000.
