Thc government spent lu war e.\ penses \ and expenses growing out of thc war, down tc Jane 30, 1SC9, $?,171,SIM IOS. This excludes what the administration wou'd have cost bcd there been no war, and may be called the not coe: tothe government of thc war. To this, however, must be added a nnmbcr or Items, which Mr. I Wells gives thus: "Pensions, capitalized, at eight years' purchase, $200,000,000; increase or Stute debts, mainly on war aooount, $l!0,<:oo,000; coun? ty, city and town Indebtedness, Increased on ac? count or the war, (estimated) $200,000,000; ex? penditures of States, counties, clues and towns 00 account of the war, not represented by funded debt, (estimated) $000,000,000; estimated loss to the loyal States from the diversion and suspen? sion of industry, and the reduction of tl: t Aiaevi >.~: can marine and carrying trade, $1,200,000,000; estimated direct expenditures and los3 of proper ty by the Confederate States, by reason or the war, $2,700,000,000." This makes a total or Ices i hy the war to the whole country of nine thousand * millions of dollars. ?, -The reception of the remains of tho late Mr. j'. George Peabody, on board H. B. M. ship Monarca, i*took place on Saturday. Although lt waa in * tttded that the proceedings should be privately Waeted, they were attended by an int jrestitig ?aonsiratlon of respect. Thc remains were ac O^panied to ?'nc ptace or embarkation by blr J OtUjg Lampe?n, Charles Reade, Minister Motley. ?? ^Morgan and H. Somerly. They were re celTOflt the dock by thc municipal authorities of PortaJ^tn and the officers and mariners of the XonaAandor the United States steamer Ply mouth.ugr Majesty's steamer Dake of We'Jing $o--- nred.jj.pte garH during the embarkation, -^j^t&c harbor displayed their ensigns as the Monarch steamed out. On the arrival of the coffin on board Minister Motley addressed Captain Commercll commander of the Monarch, as follows:. Sir-When the President of the United States was Informed of the death of the groat philanthropist, thc la? mented Mr. Peabody, he at once ordered a ship from the European squadron of the United States to proeeod to this country in order to convey his remains to America. Simultaneously the Quaeu, apprised of the sad event, gave orders that one or her Majesty's ships be appointed to perform thc same office. This double honor from the heads or two great nations toa simple American citizen was, like his bounty to the poor or both nations, quite unprecedented. The President has yielded most cordially to thc wish or the Qneen, and the remains of Mr. Peabody arc now to be conveyed across the Atlantic to his native country, to be buried with his kindred. All that was mortal of oar lamented friend was taken this morn? ing from Westminster Abbey, where, very rarely before in history, did a foreigner of any natlou find sepulture, whether temporarily or permanently, and has been brought to this port. As Minister of thc Republic, at thc Court of her Majesty, I have beca requested by the relatives and executors of Mr. Teabody, who are now present, to oonflde these revered remains to your keeping. This duty I have now the honer of ful? filling. Captain Commerell replied: ?Ir. Motley I accept thc sacred trust, slr, tn the same spirit ia which you have confided it to my care, and I assure you these remains sholl be cared and guarded hy me and those around me with jeal? ous interest, as sacred relics or one whose memory will ever bc held dear by the people or my country. The Price ?f thc PlgtaUs We print, this morning, thc lotter of a correspondent, in which a plan is suggested for securing the introduction into the State of a number of Chinese sufficient to give the planters and farmers as much efficient agri? cultural labor as they require. The plan ap? pears to be a good one, but it ia suggested that it would be necessary to fix beforehand, the rate of wages to be paid the immi? grants, as well as the scale of rations and the period for which they would certainly be paid. At present, there is little precise and deflnite information to be had in regard to tho wants and peculiarities of the Chinese. The planters who agree to take a number of them are groping ia the dark, and do not know whether they offer euough, in the right way, to irjduce thc cautious Asiatic to immi? grate to the South. Every ounce of fact is worth a pound of theory, and we are glad to be able to give, from letters received from the Hong Kong correspondents of Messrs. Robert Mure & Co., some idea of the only way in wbich contracts with the Chinese can be safely made.. Thc correspondents referred to, writing on October 18th of the present year, say that it i3 essential at the very start to determine thc legality in the United States of contracts made with Chinese laborers. This should be easily done. The law is plain and ex? plicit, and is intended to prevent thc coolie trade, not free Chinese immigration. The correspondents say that agricultural labor? ers "do not willingly leave China unless forced ?'by fie distress of a dear rice season, and "t'ien they prefer emigration to countries '.where other of their countrymen have bc2n "before, have been well treated and have rc "turned home again, to adventuring to a new "locality." For instance, they go readily to British India and to San Francisco, but are less eager to go to Dutch Guiana, "while a ".ship requiring throe hundred Chinese for "Pera, (a new port, ) and offering liberal and "trustworthy contracts, has been pbout ten "months procuring her complement." Short periods of service, too, are preferred. The method of obtaining the laborera is somewhat as follows: On Chinese being required, the contract ia translated into Chi? nese, and under certain local and provincial guarantees, is circulated in the proper official quarters in the country districts. Brokers and agents are also sent on their travels in tho same quartern, and the emigrants who engage with them are acnt on to Hong Kong. H'.TO they have to wait until the ship is ready, and aro fini ami clothed at their em? ployers' expense. A bonus of eight dollars is given them ui>o:i engngerneut, ai well ns a couple of suits of clothe?, blankets, m its, pillows, Sc, und an advancj of a moni Vs wages, seven dollars. A fem ile laborer re? ceives a lonus of twenty doliera, end if children accompany tho man raid wife, a further bonus is paid. A bonua of sixty dol? lars ia to he p il l at the termination of the , contract, or the laborer hua instead at his option a free pr.ss.ig ', with rations, back to China. Tho forlorn:' expenses before em? barkation average about seventy dollars, the dollar being t iken aa equal to 4s. 61 sterling. iTOvlsions for the voyagehavo to be found by the employer, as well as medi? cal attendance anl passage mouey, the whole costing from ?11 to ?15 a head. According to the calculations of the Hong Kong firm of whom wc have already spoken, the total cost of each male laborer, besides his monthly wagf.s, would be, for bouusea, advance, ic, seventy dollars, and expenses of passage say ?13 sterling, or equal to $17? in Federal currency. ;.These particulars are of great Interest coming from a well known aud responsible firm, and to make the information of our readers u}>ori this subject as complete as possible, we publish in' another column the fcrm of agreement usually adopted by per? ons engaging Chinese to work in Dutch Guiar.ti. Thc Phosphate ?lotiopaly. I . Before Uie exclusive right o* minin ; j phosphates in the beds of navigable streams j is granted to any ono, the General Assem? bly had better ascertain, as nearly aa possi? ble, the probable Tamo of the privilege.

ACROSS AI?BRIC.V AND ASIA. Notes of a Five Years' Journey Around thc World, and of a R?sidence in Arizona, Japan and China. By Raphael Pumpelly. New York : Ley poid t & Holt. Charleston : John Russell. Pp. 464. Briefly described, this is the narration of a journey from ino westernmost part of the railroad in Missouri, across the Pacific lo Japan, and across the continent of Asia to the frozen capital of Russian civilization. This journey was begun in thc autumn o 18G9 and ended in 1865, and it is due to thc accomplished travellor to remark at the out? set that his descriptions arc in all cases short, graphic and pointed, and that he has evidently turned to good account his Inrge opportunities of obtaining novel and valu? able information. > The opening chapters of "Across Am ?ri? gea and Asia" describo Arizona, with its wild Indians and wilder frontiersmen, and are filled with the romance of real Western life. Enough is told of the deviltry and treachery of the redskins to palliate the re? prisals of the borderers; but Professor Pum I>elly (p. 33) looks back upon tho history of our intercourse with the original owners of j our country "as a sad commentary on the "Protestant civilization of the past twoccn "turies," and ia outspoken in expressing his opinion (p. 35) that the Indians should be protected by the government "in their rights, "and made to respect the rights o? others." This is the whole question in a dozen words. Upon arriving at San Francisco, Professor Pumpelly was engaged by the Japanese Government to explore a part of thc Empire, and set sail for Yokohama, staying lon^ enough at Honolulu to enable him to give a lively sketch of the manners and condition of the Sandwich Islanders. The labors of the untiring missionaries have had sonic effect; but the costume introduced by the missionaries fifty years ago, is still {horri bile dictu) thc dress of the native women, and on some of the islands (p. 74) the peo? ple "bring on Sunday all their clothing in a "bundle to thc door of the church, where "Uley dress, and after service, dofilug their "costume, carry it homeward under their "arms." An account of an excursion to visit the Daibutz, a colossal statue of Budda, opens the description of Japan, and in the ensuing chapters the author sketches the history, political condition, religion, the social hab? its and customs, the geology and geography, anti the climatic peculiarities ofthat remark? able country. There is nothing dui! in what are usually the dullest of details. A well told anecdote or bit of telling delineation of | character, meet the reader before geology or mineralogy can tire. Professor Pumpelly h emphatic in his de . nunciation (p. 125) of the policy followed by the West in treating with tho East. He says: "The representatives of the Western "governments ure clothed with almost sove "reign power, and are only too often also "imbued wi til the prejudice of mee. That "which they would, not dream of doing in "the face of an European power, they often "d? not hesitate to practice toward a weaker "Oriental nation-constantly violating in? ternational law, at the same time that "they demand of them an observance of it." Thc author, therefore, heartily approves of the policy of bringing China into Mia circle of independent nations, and dedicates his work to the "chief author of that policy/ the Hon. Anson Burlingame. The growth of the revolution in Japan caused the government to.bring to an (ind its engagement with Professor Pumpelly, who next went to Shanghai. Of the geog? raphy of Cliiua, and of the habits of its i>eo ple, the author gives a full account, conclu? ding his volume with the story ol' his adven? tures while crossing the table lands of Cen? tral Asia and tho snowy wastes or Siberia Of the Chinese the author speaks with a kindliness that would astonish the Califor? nia Democracy. As ono who knows, lie says (p. 201) that the Chinese* have a high sense of family und commercial honor, that they aro charitable, frugal, temp?rate and industrious, and that infanticide is loss prevalent, proportionately, iii China than iti America. Tho whole question of Chinese immigration 13 thoroughly oort patiently discussed. Chinese emigration should (p. 263) "rapidly raise our Southern Slates to a "height of prosperity never yet readied liy "them, and rend ?ir possible tho completion "and maintenance of great works, ncce*Ma "ryto control tho overflow of the Missis '.sipui, and to drain unproductive anil nial "urious regions." But will the juice bo too hi^b? Professor Pumpelly treats Chinese immigration us a necessary step toward "the unification of mankind by the nssiml "lation of tho best parts of its d?Tereut "races hilo u new type," and does not dread their competitive or political influence; but he wisely insists that they shall understand "our Bocial and political organization" be? fore they have a voice, and that they shall not acquire citizenship without a residence of several years, and not less than the abil? ity to read and write the Euglish language. We may remark that Professor Pompelly talk3 with the nonchalance of a circumnavi? gator (p. 403) of building a railroad forty six hundred mile* long, from Shanghai to Kazan, the eastern terminus of the Russian Railroad, and that he was informed that thc labor of the emancipated serfs iu Siberia hos already improved "at least SO percent." Upon thc freedmen lias devolved the duly of maintaining tiic old and infirm, and this "forms tm incentivo to liubits of sobriety "and economy." We hoj>c one day to chron? icle a similar result in South Carolina. Tho style ot Profnssor Pumpelly is ^one rally good and clear; but such words as .'cultivable" und, "productivity" ure not en? durable in Eastern America, whatever may be thought of them in Honolulu or on the Steppes of Tartary. The illustrations are excellent, and well-drawn maps moke Ute lexi clear to every comprehension. A valu? able and interesting chapter on Japanese art is given by Mr. LaFarge, to whom Pro? fessor Pumpelly acknowledges bis obliga? tions. The whole book ls beautifully print? ed with clear type, on tinted paper, and is handsomely and strongly bound. The Interest which every American takes in the vast empires of the East, whoso in? terests and i'oticne3 we hope to join with onre, hzd lcd us to writ* at a greater length than we had intended. We mu-it cue tent ourselves with saying, hi conclusion, that "Acro?3 America and Asia" is, at this time of all others, one of the most suggestive and amusing boo'.-ii th it can be placed in the hand j of statennun, student. philoso? pher or bosiuoss mau.
