Wales oF haves ™ “Wan._The Montgomery, (Als.) Advertiser, rejoices over the immense service of slaves to the rebels, as follows : The total white population of the eleven States now comprising the Confederacy is between 5,000,000 and 6,000,000, therefore, to fill up the ranks of the proposed army about 10 per cent, of the entire white population will be required. In any other country than our owo such @ draft could not be met; bat the Southera States can furnish that number of men and still not Jeave the material interests of the country in a suffering condition. Those who are incapacitated for bearing arms can oversee the plantations, and the negroes can go on undisturbed in their usual labors. In the North the case is different ; the men who joia the army of subjugation are the laborers, the producers and the factory operatives, Nearly every man from that section, especially from the rural districts, leaves some brauch of, indugtry to saffer during his absence. The institution of slavery in the South alone enables her to place in the field a force so much larger in proportion to her white population than the North, or indeed than any country which is dependent entirely on free labor. The institution isa tower of strength to the South, particularly in the present crisis, and our enemies will be likely to find that the ‘“moral cavcer,’”’? about which their orators are so fond of prating, is really one of the most effective weapons employed against them by the South. Whatever number of men may be needed for this war we are confident our people stand ready to furnish. We are all enlieted for the war, and there mast be no holding back until the independence of the South is fully acknowledged. CaNNONADING at GaLvrston.—It was stated a few weeks ago, and subsequently denied, that the blockading force in the Texan waters had opened a causeless bombardment upon the city of Galveston, It seems that there wasa little gunpowder burned on the occasionereferred to, but there appears to have been good reason for it, and, moreover, but little, if any, damage done, The Galveston batteries commenced the conflict, they having, on the morning of the 3d of August, and without any apparent cause, opened a fire upon one of our steam tenders, Commander Alden, of the blockading steamer South Carolina, waited for explanations or apologies till 4 o’clock in the afternoon. He then stood for the batteries, which again opened on him. After reterning 15 shots the Cbteaber. appreheusive that he would harm the innocent people of the town more than the rascals in the batteries, withdrew. The foreign coneuls, beaded, of course, by the English consul got up @ protest, expressing their aetonishbment at and abhorrence of Commander Aldeu’s inhumanity and violation of the laws of civilized warfare. Pierre Soute.—A correspondent of the Boston Journal asserts that Soule can show as clean a record on the secession question as President Lincoln himself and adds: Pierre Soule is to-day as heartily a Union man as Edward Everett or your spirited Governor Andrew. Nothing but the enor. mous depreciation of his extensive property in real estate deters him from coming North, The readers of the Journal will recollect that nothing has been heard from him since the secession of Louisiana, and they; may rest assured that no inducement no threats por dangers, noteven the saving of life, cao move him into sympathy with the causelees rebellion, Just after the taking of Sumter I bad the honor of dining with Mr. Soule. In the course of the conversation, he expressed with much feeliog, his regrets at the chance that landed bim in New Orleans rather than in New York or Boston.

Some of its incidental ravages seem to defy a)! belief, Ithas at times entirely depopulated immense districta, In modern, as wel! ae ancient times, large tracts have heen left so utterly desolate, that a traveler might pass from village to village, even from city to city, without finding a solitary inbabitant, The war of 1756, waged in the heart of Europe, left in one instance no lers than twenty contiguous villages, without a single man or beast, The Thirty Years’ War, in the seventeenth century, reduerd the population of Germany from 12,000,000 to 4,000,000—three-fourths; and that of Wartemburg from 500,000 to 48,000— move than nine-tenths ! Thirty thousand” villagee were destroyed ; in many ‘others: tite population te died out; and in die. tricts once studded with towns and’ 'eitics, there sprang up immense forests, Look at the havoc of sieges—in that of Londonderry 12,000 soldiers, besides a vast number of inbubitants ; In that of Paris; th the sixteenth century, 30,000 vietime: of mere hunger; and that of Malplaquet, 34,000 soldiers alone; in that of Ismal, 40,006: of Vienna, 70,000; of Ostend, 120,000 ; of Mexico, 150,000 ; of Acre, 300,000; of Carthage, 700,000 ; of Jerusalem, 1,000,000. Mark the slaughter of single battlee—ot Lepanto, 25,000 ; at Austerlitz, 30,000 ; at Eylau, 60,000; at Waterloo aod Quartre Bras—one engagement jn fact—70,000 eat Berodino, 80,000 ; at Arbela, 300,000; at Chalons, 300,000 of Atila’s army alone ; 400,000 Usipetes were slain by Julius Cx. sarin one battle, and 430,000 Germans in another. Take only two cases more, The army of Xerxes, says Dr. Dick, must bave amounted to 5,283,320 ; and, it the attendants were only one-third as great as are common at the present day in Eastern countries, the sum total must have reached nearly 6,000. 000. Yet, in one year, this vast multitade was reduced, though not entirely by death, to 300,000 fighting men; and of these only 3,000 escaped destruction. Jenghis-khan, the terrible ravager of Asia, in the thirteenth century, shot 90,000 on the plains of Nessa, and massacred 200,000 at the storming of Kharasm. Jn the district of Herat, he butchered 1,600,000, and in two cities with their dependencies, 1,762,000. During the last twenty-seven years of bis long reign, he is said to have massacred more than 500,000 every year; and in the first fourteen years, he is supposed by Chinese historians, to have destroyed not less than 18,000,000 ; a sam total of over 32,000,000 in forty-one years, In any view, what a fell destroyer is war! Napoleon’s wars sacrificed full six millions, and all the wars consequent on the French Revolution, some nine or ten millions. The Spaoiards are said to have destroyed, in forty-two yearss, more than twelye millions of American Indians, Grecian wars sacrificed fifteen millions ; Jewish wars, twenty-five millions; the wars of the twelve sesars, in all, thirty millions ; the wars of the Romans, before Julius Cwsar, sixty mi)lions; the warsof the Roman Empire, of the Saracens and the Turks, sixty milfions each ; those of the Tartars, eighty milfions: those of Africa, one handred millions, Dr. Dick eays thatif we take into consideration the number not only of those who have fallen in battle, but of those who have perished through the natural consequences of war, it will not be overrating the destruction of human life, if we affirm that one-tenth of the human race bas been destroyed by the ravages of war; and, according to this estimate, more than fourteen thousand millions of human beings have been slaughtered io war since the beginniogof the world. Edmund Burke went still further, and reckoned the sum total of ite ravages, from the first, at no lese than thirty-five thousand millions, oe A Lone Reprreve.—It is a singular and gratifying circumstance that there bas not beeo a fire alarm in this city during the four weeks ending with to-day. Never, we believe, since it has been a city, bas San Franciseo bad such immunity, Unless the fire-fiend gives ns a call soon, our extinguiehing apparatus will rost and the hose become much more dilapidated than it is now—if such be possible. We trust that the next alarm will be false.—[S. F. Alta 28th. Mason Geyerats.—Of the four Major Generals in the regular ©, S. Army who were authorized to be appointed by the law of last Congress, two have been selected Major General Fremont McUlellan, the only otber appointees from . all the other States, This seems like an . undue share of honor for California in this war, THE remains of a house, wells and groves, . have been found on Malden’s island, Sand. wich Islands, supposed io have been mat . by Spanish buccaneers 300 years ago.

Wales oF haves ™ “Wan._The Montgomery, (Als.) Advertiser, rejoices over the immense service of slaves to the rebels, as follows : The total white population of the eleven States now comprising the Confederacy is between 5,000,000 and 6,000,000, therefore, to fill up the ranks of the proposed army about 10 per cent, of the entire white population will be required. In any other country than our owo such @ draft could not be met; bat the Southera States can furnish that number of men and still not Jeave the material interests of the country in a suffering condition. Those who are incapacitated for bearing arms can oversee the plantations, and the negroes can go on undisturbed in their usual labors. In the North the case is different ; the men who joia the army of subjugation are the laborers, the producers and the factory operatives, Nearly every man from that section, especially from the rural districts, leaves some brauch of, indugtry to saffer during his absence. The institution of slavery in the South alone enables her to place in the field a force so much larger in proportion to her white population than the North, or indeed than any country which is dependent entirely on free labor. The institution isa tower of strength to the South, particularly in the present crisis, and our enemies will be likely to find that the ‘“moral cavcer,’”’? about which their orators are so fond of prating, is really one of the most effective weapons employed against them by the South. Whatever number of men may be needed for this war we are confident our people stand ready to furnish. We are all enlieted for the war, and there mast be no holding back until the independence of the South is fully acknowledged. CaNNONADING at GaLvrston.—It was stated a few weeks ago, and subsequently denied, that the blockading force in the Texan waters had opened a causeless bombardment upon the city of Galveston, It seems that there wasa little gunpowder burned on the occasionereferred to, but there appears to have been good reason for it, and, moreover, but little, if any, damage done, The Galveston batteries commenced the conflict, they having, on the morning of the 3d of August, and without any apparent cause, opened a fire upon one of our steam tenders, Commander Alden, of the blockading steamer South Carolina, waited for explanations or apologies till 4 o’clock in the afternoon. He then stood for the batteries, which again opened on him. After reterning 15 shots the Cbteaber. appreheusive that he would harm the innocent people of the town more than the rascals in the batteries, withdrew. The foreign coneuls, beaded, of course, by the English consul got up @ protest, expressing their aetonishbment at and abhorrence of Commander Aldeu’s inhumanity and violation of the laws of civilized warfare. Pierre Soute.—A correspondent of the Boston Journal asserts that Soule can show as clean a record on the secession question as President Lincoln himself and adds: Pierre Soule is to-day as heartily a Union man as Edward Everett or your spirited Governor Andrew. Nothing but the enor. mous depreciation of his extensive property in real estate deters him from coming North, The readers of the Journal will recollect that nothing has been heard from him since the secession of Louisiana, and they; may rest assured that no inducement no threats por dangers, noteven the saving of life, cao move him into sympathy with the causelees rebellion, Just after the taking of Sumter I bad the honor of dining with Mr. Soule. In the course of the conversation, he expressed with much feeliog, his regrets at the chance that landed bim in New Orleans rather than in New York or Boston.

Some of its incidental ravages seem to defy a)! belief, Ithas at times entirely depopulated immense districta, In modern, as wel! ae ancient times, large tracts have heen left so utterly desolate, that a traveler might pass from village to village, even from city to city, without finding a solitary inbabitant, The war of 1756, waged in the heart of Europe, left in one instance no lers than twenty contiguous villages, without a single man or beast, The Thirty Years’ War, in the seventeenth century, reduerd the population of Germany from 12,000,000 to 4,000,000—three-fourths; and that of Wartemburg from 500,000 to 48,000— move than nine-tenths ! Thirty thousand” villagee were destroyed ; in many ‘others: tite population te died out; and in die. tricts once studded with towns and’ 'eitics, there sprang up immense forests, Look at the havoc of sieges—in that of Londonderry 12,000 soldiers, besides a vast number of inbubitants ; In that of Paris; th the sixteenth century, 30,000 vietime: of mere hunger; and that of Malplaquet, 34,000 soldiers alone; in that of Ismal, 40,006: of Vienna, 70,000; of Ostend, 120,000 ; of Mexico, 150,000 ; of Acre, 300,000; of Carthage, 700,000 ; of Jerusalem, 1,000,000. Mark the slaughter of single battlee—ot Lepanto, 25,000 ; at Austerlitz, 30,000 ; at Eylau, 60,000; at Waterloo aod Quartre Bras—one engagement jn fact—70,000 eat Berodino, 80,000 ; at Arbela, 300,000; at Chalons, 300,000 of Atila’s army alone ; 400,000 Usipetes were slain by Julius Cx. sarin one battle, and 430,000 Germans in another. Take only two cases more, The army of Xerxes, says Dr. Dick, must bave amounted to 5,283,320 ; and, it the attendants were only one-third as great as are common at the present day in Eastern countries, the sum total must have reached nearly 6,000. 000. Yet, in one year, this vast multitade was reduced, though not entirely by death, to 300,000 fighting men; and of these only 3,000 escaped destruction. Jenghis-khan, the terrible ravager of Asia, in the thirteenth century, shot 90,000 on the plains of Nessa, and massacred 200,000 at the storming of Kharasm. Jn the district of Herat, he butchered 1,600,000, and in two cities with their dependencies, 1,762,000. During the last twenty-seven years of bis long reign, he is said to have massacred more than 500,000 every year; and in the first fourteen years, he is supposed by Chinese historians, to have destroyed not less than 18,000,000 ; a sam total of over 32,000,000 in forty-one years, In any view, what a fell destroyer is war! Napoleon’s wars sacrificed full six millions, and all the wars consequent on the French Revolution, some nine or ten millions. The Spaoiards are said to have destroyed, in forty-two yearss, more than twelye millions of American Indians, Grecian wars sacrificed fifteen millions ; Jewish wars, twenty-five millions; the wars of the twelve sesars, in all, thirty millions ; the wars of the Romans, before Julius Cwsar, sixty mi)lions; the warsof the Roman Empire, of the Saracens and the Turks, sixty milfions each ; those of the Tartars, eighty milfions: those of Africa, one handred millions, Dr. Dick eays thatif we take into consideration the number not only of those who have fallen in battle, but of those who have perished through the natural consequences of war, it will not be overrating the destruction of human life, if we affirm that one-tenth of the human race bas been destroyed by the ravages of war; and, according to this estimate, more than fourteen thousand millions of human beings have been slaughtered io war since the beginniogof the world. Edmund Burke went still further, and reckoned the sum total of ite ravages, from the first, at no lese than thirty-five thousand millions, oe A Lone Reprreve.—It is a singular and gratifying circumstance that there bas not beeo a fire alarm in this city during the four weeks ending with to-day. Never, we believe, since it has been a city, bas San Franciseo bad such immunity, Unless the fire-fiend gives ns a call soon, our extinguiehing apparatus will rost and the hose become much more dilapidated than it is now—if such be possible. We trust that the next alarm will be false.—[S. F. Alta 28th. Mason Geyerats.—Of the four Major Generals in the regular ©, S.
