PUBLISHERS NOTE. 
 
 The Fourth Volume of the Confederate States Alirmnuc, is now 
 offered to the peoph* «»f the 8i>iith. Tlie piilili^her ia perffcting ar- 
 rangements that will iiii>ure the peinianent issue of the work every 
 year. The h-ading tthject of the pulilication, will be to make it the re- 
 pository of the largest possible amtniiit of iisefnl iiifnnnation : embra- 
 cing every variety of knowled^^e — atitniai strttistics frwn all the States 
 in the Confederacy, nhowing the proprerfs in Pupulatidii, Manufactures, 
 Commerce, Wealth, nnd all the elements of prosperity. 
 
 Of the information cdntained in this vdlunie. great pains has been 
 taken to make them as accurate as possibl** from the resources at hand. 
 The Keports of the Departments of the C'onfedur.ite Government have 
 been t^tken from the l.itest offnial (Inciiiiniits, and will he found inter- 
 esting. 
 
 Mu(th valuable information lias l»ecn compiled from the flnited States 
 census of 1800, which will he fmnd exceedingly interesting at the 
 present time. 
 
 The Diary of the War and Incidents of the Revolution, has been pre- 
 ) ared with great car«\ The dates of the batt'es, will he found accu- 
 rate ; the number of killecl and wounde«l in l»attli's, has been gathered 
 from <tfHcial reports, as far as published. Although in nu'st cases they 
 have been estimated from sta*em»'nta of correspondents, they will be 
 found in the n)ain to b«* nearly correct. 
 
 The Astronomical calculations, &c., have been prepared by Thomas 
 P. A8huH»re, of Gv'orgia. The calculations will be found full and ac- 
 curate. In a work like this, designed to embrace so much variety of 
 matter, there is no doubt S(tme errors. The compiler would be uncb'r 
 obligations to the patrons oi' the work for any valuable hints, comniu 
 nications or corrections of errors, or impr<>vements in the Almanac. —

 The central Eclipse will first be seen at Olympia in Washington 
 Territory; and it will be seen last at Timbuctoo in Africa. The 
 central Eclipse at noon, will be in Lititude-23° 54^ N. Longitude 
 64° 16^ W. In the above table. Longitude is reckoned from 
 Greenwich, England. Th^ centre of this Eclipse will pass about 
 210 miles North of Columbus Ga. and ab ut 150 mile -i^S^orth of 
 Macon, Ga. and about 70 miles Norti of Augusta, Ga. It will 
 pass near Columbia, S. C. 
 
1805— ALMANAC— 1865 
 
 In man V respects, this will be th • most remarkable of Eclipses 
 that will occur in the Confede/a'c States, during the present cen- 
 tury: It will be annular; that is, the apparent size of the Moon 
 will not be lar^ ■ enough to conce 1 the whole disk of the Sun : 
 therefore at all places where .he Eclipse will be annular, the 
 edje of the Sun, all around th • d rk body of thi- M on, will re- 
 semble a red-hot ring of iron. If the the air be clear, several 
 Planets a' d Fixed Stars will be visible in different parts of he 
 skyeat, the tim of the annular Eclipse. The Planet Venus will 
 06 seen about 30*^ West of th ■ Sun. The Planet Jupiter will be 
 seen about 60° Tast of him ; and liegulus will be s en about 60 
 o Wf'St of him. Ursa Major near the North Poeof the heave s, 
 and Spica ab ut 11° west of the JSun. and Arcturuj about 30° N 
 of him, and many othe.s in different parts of the heavans will be 
 distinctly visible to the n ked rye, if the air be very serene. 
 
 Not many persona have had a i opportunity of seeing the Sun 
 either toiallv or annularly eclipsed: therefore, all the particu- 
 lars of ihis Eclipse have been calculated with much prolixity 
 and care, in order that all persons who will then be living, 
 may witness a g^and Phenomenon of nature, which in all pro- 
 bability, they will never vvitness again. If the exact app^'rent 
 time of the beginning and end of a solar Eclipse, at any pi ce, 
 be noted from correct observatfons, the longitude of that place 
 can be correcty computed ; and this method is the only correct 
 one. 
 
 Note. — Notie of the Problems for 1864, have been solved; i)erhaps 
 the Mathematicians of our country are so m?ich engaged in military 
 affair.-^ that the\- cannot find leisure time to apply their minds to the 
 solnti<m of difficult Problems. Therefore, the insertion of Problems in 
 this Almanac, has been omitted ; but it]| will be resumed whenever a 
 more propitious year r&Jls in siglit.

 Houses and Cattle is the World — An illustrated natn- 
 ral history of the animal kingdom has just been published by 
 S. G. G<;odrich. Among i.thcr informalion abtiunding in it, 
 it contains the fullowinijj. which is an estimate of the number 
 of horj^es in various parts of the world. From this we ex- 
 tract the following : 
 
 The general estin^v'e has been 8 to 18 horses in Europa 
 to every hundied inhabitants. Denmark has 45 hoi -js for 
 every hundred inhubitalits, which, is more than any other 
 European country. ' 
 
 Groat Britain and Ireland have 2,500,000 horses. 
 
 France has 4 GOajDOO 
 
 Austrian Empiie, e\rlusive of Italv, 2,000 000. 
 
 Ftussia has 3,500 000. 
 
31 - 
 
 The Confederate Stntes have 2 S:J8,402. 
 
 The Northern States have 2 G41 99S. 
 
 The horses of the whole world Jire e-lirnated At 57,420,000. 
 
 By blood in horses is meant ihn hlot^d (if the English race 
 horse, and it is said that every nniiiia! of this stock h:^s more 
 «r less of the blood of the Godolphin Arabian in his veiria. 
 This famous sire w\ns imported into England about 110 year* 
 ago. In tix;tting, the American horses have been superk>r 
 to those of all other nations for mnnv years. 
 
 The Conf. dcra^e States have 7 7U1 4 19 cattle. 
 
 The Ni)ithern St;i^es have 12J01) 322 
 
 Russia has 20 000 000. 
 
 Great Britain and Holland have 8.000.000. ^ 
 
 Austria has 19 000 000. 
 
 France has 8.000 000. 
 
 The world is estimated to contain 210,000 000. It is sup- 
 posed that one third of thein are !<ilird :ninually, so that w« 
 have about 28,000,000 bodies, 70 000,000 tkins, 140,000,-

 feably a hundred million*:, is in hniKlird dollar notes. Ex- 
 •ludi'ng these, we have J^385,000,{i00 Kfi ; of which, the is- 
 sues olTive dollars and under ainMiMit, t{» $90 909 893 50. 
 Suppose $85,000,000 of tht^se an* now in .citculaiion, ai:d 
 we- have for all others $300 000 000, ,vn hich the tax of one- 
 third has reiluced to $200 000 000. The total circulation at 
 the present time, irrespective of the nt^w i.-rsue, is, therefore, 
 .]jarge!y less than th^sR hundred milliont*^ and of this a con.- 
 sideral»le annount is always to be foutid in the hands of the 
 4lsbnrsing officers and depositarie-*. 
 
 Wo have not included in the above any estimate of the 
 amount of circulation lost or destroyed, and thereby gained 
 10 the Government. It is doubtless considerable. 
 
 The amount of currency which has been cancelled and de- 
 fctroyed (irrespective of the operaiimi of the present curren- 
 cy law) i« nearly twenty per cent., of the \Nhole issue. If 
 this reduction be applied to the five dollar notes,-th8 amount,

 ' The month of May, which has just closed, might be term- 
 ed " bloody May." The terrible and unprecedented carn- 
 nrrQ in Virginia, Georgia, and other portions of the Confede- 
 racy where the opposing armies have met, would seem to 
 give it that designation. A friend, who has taken the trou- 
 ble to make a rough estimate of the killed in battle since 
 the first of May, has given his calculation : 
 
 la Virginia — Yankees 30,000 
 
 la Virginia— Confederates 10,000—40,000 
 
 In Georgia— Yankees 12,000 
 
 In Georgia— Confederates 5,000—17,000 
 
 In the West— Yankees 9,000 
 
 hi the West— Confederates 4,000—13,000 
 
 Total killed in May, .70,000 
 
 Both armies sufTered severely in the loss of officers. In 
 Virgiuia alone, since the commencement of the long fight 
 with Grant, we have lost nineteen Generals — seven killed, 
 ten wounded and- two captured. The names of the killed 
 are Stuart, Jenkins, Stafford, Jones, Julius Daniel, Gordon 
 of Norih Carolina, and Perrin of South Carolina. Those 
 oiptured are Geijjl Edward Johnson and GenT Walker. 
 
 The Yankee loss in Generals is eq«illy as large as ours. 
 The New York Herald itself admits the followiiig loss : 
 
 Killed— M;ij. Gen. James E. \Vadsworth,^faj. Gen. Sedg- 
 wick, B:ig. Gen'l ilaynes, Gen'l Webb, Gen. Taylor, Gen'l

 A COMPARATIVE VIEW OF THE CAPITAL, • 
 WEALTH AND ANNUAL PRODUCT OF 
 THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN 
 STATES. 
 
 The first, attempt to obtain the data by actual investijj;a- 
 tion was made by the United States Marshals in 1840. 
 Since that tinr»e we have official valuations more and more 
 complete at the end of each census decade. That these three 
 inventories of the property of t*he Union are all defective in 
 the matters intended to be embraced, and under-stated also 
 in valuation, is well knov.'n. There is not an item in which 
 they are suspected of overstatement. 
 
 We are indebted to Professor Tucker for his digest of the 
 Cansus of 1840, and to him and the Secretary of tiie Treos- 
 ury (Mr. Guthrie) for the like service in 1850. The valua- 
 tion of property in 18G0 for the Union and for the loyal 
 St-ates, we have from the Census Bureau. From the official 
 returns of both 1 850 and 1860, we have subtracted the value 
 of the slaves, which was included in the offici|il aggregates, 
 holding ihem, for all the purposes of our inquiry, as prodnc- 
 ers and consuniers of wealth, and not as property, otherv\i.«,rt 
 than the laborers of any other country are a part of their na- 
 tlawal wealth and resources. 
 
 The property value of the loyal States at mid-summer, 
 1SG3, we have estimated by addirg to its amount in 1660 
 the average increase of the decade ending that year, and not 
 at the market prices ruling in 1863. 
 
 The estimates for the other periods in the table for which 
 no authority is quoted, are our own, under guidance of such 
 •data as we could command. 
 
 The value of the year's products in 1860 is obtained Vj 
 tiking the agricultural products of that year (given in quan- 
 tity in the preliminary report of the Bureau, but not priced) 
 at 90 per ceiit. increase upon those of 1850; by subtracting 
 from the value of the manufactures one third for the ra.v 
 materials, which are included in the estiiT»ate of the agricul- 
 tural values; and by 'idding 400,000 000 for the profits of 
 commeice. 
 
81 
 
 We have not room, here, to describe the process by which 
 we obtain the year's product for 1800 in the %a^ States. 
 No -labor or care has been spared in obtaining it. 
 
 The annual product put down in the table to the United 
 States in the several periods, is in all instances grea! ly be- 
 low the truth. The share allowed to each person sta'ads at 
 162,28 in 1840, and at |86,41 in 1850; but the expenditure 
 or consumption per head, in these years, cannot be- estimat- 
 ed at less than $100 ; and the consumption per head in i860 
 was at least equal to the amount allowed by the stated 
 production of the year. Beside this deficiency of provision 
 for the current subsistence of the people, there is the accu- 
 mulation of capital wealth to \iG accounted for, amounting to 
 2,410,000,000 in the former period, and to the enormous^ 
 sum of 8,009,000,000, or an increase of 130 per cent, in the' 
 latter. 
 
 We need not stop here to estimate the spontaneous growth' 
 of our national wealth, or that enhancement of value which 
 occurs in real estate by the rapid settlement of our wild 
 lands, and almost as rapid growth in the value of the fixed 
 property in the older States, which, of course, would account 
 for a very considerable part of the apparent disparity between 
 the property value and the annual production, because an 
 unquestionable deficiency in the reported products occurs in 
 the following particulars, for which the Census-takers are not 
 responsible : — 
 
 They take no account of the current consumption of our 
 agriculturists and of their families and employees In 
 1840. this class amounted to three fourths of the total pop- 
 ulation, and approached the same proportion in 1850; nor 
 ftre any manufacturing or mechanical products of the year 
 returned whose annual value falls below $500. Beside all 
 this, which probably amounts to one-fourth of the tot^l an- 
 nual product, no account is taken of the labor cuiployed in 
 clearing and improving land, in building railroads, canals, 
 hon-jc-*, manufactories, steamships, and other vessel:* ; nor of 
 the labor employed in coal-mines ; nothing of the products 
 of the fine arts, nor of a large portion of the product-* of the 
 useful arts; all of which may be very safely stated as equal 
 
82 
 
 to half ihe value of the agriciltural and manufacturing pro- 
 ducts noticed by the Census takers. Sonne cf these apptar 
 in the valuation of the propcity of the country in the decen- 
 nial Census appraisements, and help to swell the obvious 
 disparity. The very considerable increase of the values of 
 1803 over those of IS^xO, is owing to the fact that the growth 
 of wealth in the loyal States is so much greater than the 
 average enhancement in the whole Union before the sever- 
 ance of the estimates given in the tabular statement. The 
 most surprising of our statements are precisely those which 
 have been nio^t carefully considered and best verified. 
 
 United States debt and interest. Our debt is ofTicial for 
 every period slated. For 18t)3 it is given as it stood on 
 the books of the Treasury on the 1st of October. It is trea- 
 ted in the other columns of the table as chargeable upon th« 
 people and property of the loyal States only. And the an- 
 nual interest stated is the amount which the principal would 
 carry for the year ending October 1, 1864, if the principal 
 remainfd so long unchanged. The proportion of this inter- 
 est to the annual income of the year, is stated at 1 3-10 per 
 c«nt. This would be true if the annual income of the peo- 
 ple were correctly given ; but if, as we suppose, this is put 
 down at two-thirds of its real amount, the burden of inter- 
 e«t upon the people's income would be something less than 
 nine tenths of 1 per cent. 
 
 The proportion of the total debt of the United States ho 
 the private property cf the loyal States, stated at 8} per 
 cent, nearly, means that the value of our property in 18C3, 
 at the prices rulitig before the rebellion, if standing at the 
 amount given in the property column twenty years hence, 
 or at the maturity of the debt, would be as 8100 to |8.77 
 of the dcbt» and takes no account of the enhancement of our 
 wealth in the mean time. What that shall be when the 
 debt is to be reimbursed, cannot now be foretold or even 
 imagined. If if. shall increase during the two next decen- 
 nial periods following the year 1SC3, at the rate of the pe- 
 riod bttween 1850 and 18G0, the suni will be above 70,- 
 000,000,000, or double the present computed value of Great 
 Britain and Ireland j and a debt of 2,0o0,000,000 would 
 
83. 
 
 then be less than 3 per cent, upon the principal of the wealth 
 pledged for its ultimate discharge, while the burden of its 
 interest upon the annual income of the country would be 
 lessened in corresponding proportion. 
 
 [f we take the estimated wealth of Great Britain to be 
 equally underrated in 1816 and in 1858, we sec how the 
 burden of national debt declines relatively to the value of 
 the property which must pay it. [n these forty-two years 
 the incumbrance fell from 40 to 13 per cent, of the national 
 wealth, while the capital of the debt was reduced less than 
 3,000,000 on 4,200,000,000, or the burden fell from 40 to 
 13, while the debt fell only as from 40 to 37, or, in other 
 words, the debt of 1858 would have been a charge of 37^ 
 percent on the property of 1816, but was only 13.4 per 
 cent, of the property of 1858. The dcbtof the United States 
 in 1816 was a charge of 7 per cent, on the property of that 
 day ; in 1860 it iFould have been no more than nine tenths 
 of 1 per cent.; and a debt of 1,222,000,000, which is S.| per 
 ceot. of the computed wealth of the loyal States In 1863, 
 would, at a rate of increase in valuation in the next twenty 
 years no greater than occurred in the last ten years, sink to 
 1 6-10 per cent. 
 
 General Remarhsi — The increase of the total population 
 of the United States in the ten years, 1850-60, was 35.52 
 per cent. — of the total population of the free State?, 41 62 
 per cent.; of the loyal States, 40 22 per cent.; of the total 
 population of the rebel States, 25 ;^7 per cent; of the (itQ 
 population of the rebel Stages, 26 32 per cent ; of the slave 
 population of the rel^el States, 23 5 per cent.; of the whole 
 slave population of the Union, 23 38 per cent; and of the 
 total free colored population, 12 3 per cent. 
 
 The increased value of the property of the United States 
 in the same period (1850-1860) was 120.7 per cent— of the 
 property of the free States, 124 52 per cent. ; of the loyal 
 slave States, 132.04 percent.; of the rebel slave States, 
 139.76. (The value of the slaves in neither case included.) 
 The frreater iurrease per cent, of the wealth of the slave than 
 •f the tV'ie Stat.cs, in the decide, is raamly attributable to th« 
 '{iiantity of cotton produced in the period, and the price it 
 
84 . 
 
 commanded. From 1840 to 1850, the exports of cotton to 
 foreign countries, were valued at $533,000,000, and at an 
 average of 7.7 cents per pound ; in the period 1850 to 1860, 
 the exports amounted to $1,236,000,000, at an average of 
 lOJ cents per pound. To this must be added their exports 
 of tobacco, rice, and breadstuffs and provisions, and the 
 amount of all these articles sold to the Northern States. But 
 to understand the value of the greater increase as expressed 
 in percentage, it must be recollected that the capital wealth 
 oCthe rebel States in 1850 was but $2,289,000,000, slaves 
 included, while that of the loyal States was $4,846,000,000, 
 — th« latter havinp; increased their capital $0,050,000,000, 
 the former but |2 913,000,000, — the Census valuation of the 
 slaves being' embraced in these aggregates. But the char- 
 acter of this enhanced wealth is also a matter of prime im- 
 portance in estimating its worth as a measure and index of 
 prosperity. The real estate of the rebel Stotes, as reported 
 by the marshals in 1860, was 43 per cent, and the personal 
 57 per cent, of their property ; while in the loyal States the 
 real was (56 per cent., and the personal but 34. The aver- 
 age ratio of real to personal estate in New York, Massachu- 
 setts, and Pennsylvania, is 75 per cent, of the total, or j^ 
 a^inst i**^. the average of the rebel States. South Carolina,' 
 Georgia, and North Carolina have but 30 per cent, of their 
 wealth in real estate, and 70 in personal. The proportion 
 of fixed to floating capital in a nation is the truest measure 
 of real wealth and of its grade of civilization.— [From the 
 National (Northern) Almanac for 1864. ' 
 
 Foreigners in Oie Confederate States. — It appears from the 
 United States census for 1860, that the number of foreigners 
 in the States now forming the Confederacy were — Alabama, 
 12,000; Arkansas, 4 000; Georgia, 11,000 ; Kentucky, 59,- 
 000; Louisiana, 81,000; Mississippi, 8,000 ; Missouri, 160,- 
 000; North Carolina, 3,000; South Carolina, 10,000; Ten.

 THE BRITISH COTTON TRADE. 
 
 (r>T Geokok MoHekey ) 
 
 The quantltT of cotton and cotton goods in the hands of 
 aU clasjio in the United Kingdom, was greater on the- first 
 of January, 1802. than at any other time-, and ihe stocks 
 vcre less on the 1st of ./aniiary, 1S64, than on any previous 
 oceasion. The chief falling ofl'was in yarns and goods — a' 
 dinunution in clothing rriaterial that is seldom alluded to; 
 p-nd the jjnportance of which has not been fully considered. 
 'J ho follov.ing may be regarded as a fair estimate of th« 
 wants of the United Kingdom, for 1864: 
 .I'hc home consumption will require in \veight 
 
 of present inferior sorts of cotton,, . . .(lbs ) 275,000,000 
 The exportation of cotton goods, if only the * 
 
 same as last year, 600,000,000

 same as last year,. 240,000,000

 Deficiency,. (lbs.) 57,000,000 
 
 With stocks of everything in the shape of cotton and cotton 
 good? exhausted. 
 
 fncUided in the receipts of -cotton last year were, as b«- 
 fire remarked, all the old stocks of cotton attracted from 
 the interior of India, China, Egypt, etc.,. by reason of the 
 high prices that prevailed in England in the latter part of 
 1862. It c.innot be supposed that the increase in the pro- 
 d'jc'ion ih'- vcar will more than balance those old stocks, 
 
93 
 
 though in the preceding table an addition of 22 per cenf. 
 has been made over the importations of raw cotton in 1803 
 for the estimate of 18G4. To be sure, the incease so far 
 this year has been at that rate, but there is no likelihood of 
 its being kept up when reference is made to the sources of 
 supply, through the whole twelve months. 
 
 The importations into the United Kingdom fof January, 
 February and March, 1863 and 1864, arc thus given :

 The increase, as already stiT^^^ was 22 per cci.t ; bufc 
 nearly one-half of this increase ^^T3 owing to the contribu- 
 tions for the Confederate States having risen from 4,050,OC0 
 pounds in 1863, to 18,500,000 pounds in 1864.

 HISTORICAL RECORD. 
 
 The existence of the United States of America as a sepa- 
 rate and independent nation usually dates from July 4, 1776, - 
 when the second Continental Congress passed the Declara- 
 tion of Independence, dissolving all connection with Great 
 Britain. The colonies, however, were vTrtually under their 
 own government from the tjme of the meeting of the second 
 Continental Congress, MajV lo, 1775, which body continued 
 its sittings during the greater part of the Revolutionary ^ 
 War, and had, the genera'^^uirection of aflairs. The powers 
 of this Congress were not defined, — there was no settled 
 form of government ; but, their authority being of a revolu- 
 tionary or provisional character, they exercised such asiha 
 necessities of the times required. The Revolutionary Gov- 
 ernment continued until the Confederation was organized, 
 the articles for which were adopted by the Congress as ear- 
 ly as November 15, 1777, but were not finally ratified by 
 all the Colonies until March 1, 1781. On the following day 
 (March 2, 1781) Congress assembled under the Confedera- 
 tion. The Confederate Government was intended to be 
 perpetual*; but it was soon found to be so defective, inefi- 
 cient, and even, powerifss, that a convention of delegates 
 was called to meet at Philadelphia on the 14th of May, 
 1787, *' for the sole and express purpose of revising the Ar- 
 tides of Confederation,'and reporting such alterations and 
 provisions therein as shall render the Federal Const iiui ion 
 adequate to the exigenci'esof the Government- and the pre- 
 servation of the Union." The Constitutional Goternment 
 was the result of the. deliberations of this convention; for 
 they adopted, on the 17th of September, 1787, that great 
 and wise charter known as the Constitution of th^' United 
 States. ■ Eleven of the States having ratified this Constilu- 
 
05 
 
 tion, Congress, on the 17th of September, 1783, resolved 
 that it should go into operation on Wednesday, the 4th day 
 of Mtirch, 1789.
