From the Junction Beacon.
Our Soldiers, -

Our thanks are due to the Hon. John
Wentworth, for valuable document from
the War Department, showing the num-
Der Oftroops in the service of the United
States in Mexico since the commences.
ment Of the war, the killed and wound
ed, &c.
This report was made iD April last, in
answer to call made on the Secretary
of War, by resolution Of Senate in last
December. r,silt
Some of these statistics may be inter.
esting to our readers. s5a
The number of men recruited into { he
regular army since the 18th May, 1886,
is 10000.
The number of troops of the regular
force, new and old, in Mexico, New Mex
leo and California, in actual service was,
in April. about "a. 900.
The whole number of volunteer troops,
mustered into service since May, 1916,
including the three and six months men,
and others not called out by authority,
amounts to about 70, 900. ea
But the number, after deducting those
not called by authority, those discharged,
&C., exceed. probably, when put en- route
for the army $4,000. 5g
OF the regular army, the aggregate Of
deaths has been about $500. Of these
killed in battle and died of wounds, about,
1000. Wounded about $500. s.s.55
Ofthe whole number of volunteers, the
number of deaths has been about 1000.
OF these killed in battle and died of
wounds about 700. Wounded, 1885,
Desertions, 1884.
II is calculated that at the time of the
making ofthis report, the whole force in
Mexico, efficient for service, amounted to
$4,000.
II appears by this report that the actu.
al number of deaths In our army has been
greatly over rated. Ofihe first Mississip-
Pi regiment, of whom it has been said not
one half returned, it appears that SO only
died of ordinary death, and 81 were killed
in actions. The regiment was greatly
reduced by discharges for disability.
The number so discharged was 34s,
most or all of whom probably returned
home.
So, also, of Col. Forman's regiment Of
Illinois, the actual loss by death was about
one in ten--the number discharged fog
disability was 22s.
Col. Bissell's regiment of Illinois, suf-
fered more severely than any other, in
the number of wounded, and also in loss
by ordinary death.
Texas, louisiana, Missouri and Illinois
have sent to the war far more than their
proportion of troops; but many of those
from the three former were Of the three
and six months volunteers, leaving Illinois,
for actual servicable troops, the banner
State of the Union.

Mr.. Jefferson on the Slavery Question.
We commend to the candid attention
of our readers, the following extract from
letter written by Mr.. JEFFERSON to
JOHN HOLMES. dated April %, 1870
Let his admoniti ons have due weight
with those who are not too much biineed
by passion and party feeling to appreciates
truth:
81 thank you, dear sir, for the copy
you have been SO kind as to send me Of
the letter to your constituents on the
Missouri question. Il is a perfect iusti.
fication to them. I had for long tine
ceased to read newspapers, or pay any
attention to public affairs, confident they
were in good hands, and centent to be z
passenger in our bark TO the shore from
which | am not distant. But the momen.'

G. w. Kendall. Esq, one of the editors
of the New Orleans Picayune, writing
from Paris under date of June 9Th, makes
the following now verified prediction -
With news from other parts ofthe con-
tinent do not NEEDLE, nor have really
time to watch the workings of affairs here
in France. But I will still endeavoT TO
scratch you off short letter once week,
giving you such poor specuiations as am
able to make as regards the future. If
err in my calculations | shall be on the
list Of wiser hads. for he is a prophet in

representation of mine, however, made
two months since, will still stick to per.

INCREASE OF VoTEs.-It is a singular
fact that the number of persons voting at
Presidential elections in the United States
nearly doubled IN 1910 what it had been
in. 1886, and that, Ia 1914 the number
was still further increased. The popular
vote, since 1923, has been as follows:

The mission in Jerusalem have made
sixty converts In thirteen years, at the
rate Of about G500 per convert.
Juliet signal. [volume] (Juliet [i.e. Joliet], Ill.) 1844-1???, 1848-08-08

The increase from 1928 to 1886 was
more than was natural; but after that it
became excessive. As we discard the
idea that false votes were polled to any
extent, we must conclude that greater
interest than formerly is felt in the cleo.
ton of President, and consequently many
voters come to the polls now who were in
the habit ofremaining away. In no other
way can we explain the astonishing in.
crease of nearly one million votes be-.
