H. Journal Of Russian Losses at sebastOpOl.

The New York Tribune has the following :
"Among other documents upon the war, the
Baltic brings US the detailed report OF Prince
Gortschakof concerning the siege, assault and
evacuation OF Sebaslopol. This report is chief
ly interesting from its admission OF the tremen-
dous losses sustained by the Russians during
the last day Of the seige. On the 18th Gay
Of August the bombardment began. That day
they lost one thousand five hundred men ; on
the four following days, four thousand then,
IN fifteen days 10 the 9Th Of September, eight
thousand ; and finally, from The 9th 10 the Sth
foul misunderstanding O total OF seventeen
thousand five hundred killed and wounded du.
ring the bombardment. Then came the as
sault, and during this The Russians two thou
sand six hundred and eighty four killed, six
thousand and fifty eight wounded, one thou
sand one hundred and eighty-fve confused;
and one thousand seven hundred and sixty
thee missing-total, nearly twelve thousand
me /; SO that the entire loss during the last
twenty-three days Of the defense Of Sebasto-
polamounted 10 thirty thousand men, 10 which
we may add a loss from sickness OF about ten
thousand more. Such a diminution OF the
fighting forces on one side while on the op-
posite side the losses, during the bomba:dment,
were about one-fth, or one sixth, and du-
ring the assault about three fourths only OF
these numbers--might well induce Gortscha-
kof 10 give up the attempt TO make second
SsTagoSsa OF SebaStopol, and TO defend it house
after house and street after street."
