TnE TErEmE RESULTS OF WAR.-The follow
ing sad statistics, collected by committee Of the
legislature Of New York, bring fairly before us
The terrible results OF war. We are accusioincdto TO
look upon battle as dreadful thing; but the
actual carnage of battle is one of the least Of the
evils Of war. The deaths by disease, by exposure,
and the thousand incidents OF war, are Ear more
numerous; ard OF those who survive, many linger
cut useless and melancholy lives, with broken con-
stitnticns and ruined hopes The moral evils are
far teyond calculation.

We have discovered II widows, who are all in a

iime he died, leaving four children. Two Of them
