THE SOLDIER'S GREATEST PERIL.--The experi-
ence of this war confirms that of nearly all campaigns, that
soldiers are in far greater danger from the diseases incident
to camp life than from the weapons of the enemy. There
are many surprising facts illustrating this in the history of
the English and French armies. The 92d English Regi
ment lost more offic:rs and men in four months from the
climate of Jamaica than by the enemy in an active war of
22 years, in which it was 26 times in battle. The French
sent 309,268 officers and men to the Crimean war, of whom
203,000 were under medical treatment, 50,000 being for
wounds and 150,000 for diseases. Among these soldiers
there were 69,229 deaths, of whom only 7,600 were killed
on the battle field or not afterwards heard of, being eight
deaths from other causes to one in battle. It is the delibe-
rate opinion of Scrive, an intelligent investigator, that the
losses occasioned by the most murderous battles do not
equal one-fourth of the total losses to which an army is or-
dinarily subjected.—Boston (U.S.) Paper.
