The South’s Losses from the Rebellion

THE "Richmond Republican" has an estimate of the losses experienced by the south in consequence of the Rebellion, which sums up $5,800,000,000. The official valuation of the fifteen slave States, by census of 1860, footed up $7,000,000,000; and, providing the losses aggregate as above stated, the total value of what is left of the South would be reduced to $1,200,000,000,—about a sixth of what it was in 1860.
