Yesterday afternoon we rode out and spent an h"ur 10

Mitchell at one dollar per The other thousand he
purchased year ago last November of the Illinois r.

he has since that time expended about 600 upon It,

Interesting statistics.

We find in an exchange some facts with regard to
battle fields and bass drums, which in the highest
degree interesting According to cotemporary, a
first class army has never been in this country II our
friend refers to size the statement IS correct; II to
efficiency, be is wrong. At Plattsburgh and New Or
leans was some Of the sharpest fighting known to his
tory The army with which Scott and Taylor invaded
Mexico footed up to less than eight thousand men, and
yet they conquered nearly much territory as
conquered with half million of troops. So much for
that portion of the programme. Let US now look at
something ese In the battle Of Concord which open
ed the war of the Revolution, the whole British force
amounted to one thousand seven hundred men, The
number of provincials somewhat larger. At Bun
ker Hill the British force four thousand regulars,
the Americans one thousand five hundred farmers The
force with which Washington invested Boston was four
teen thousand FIVE hundred contnentals The largest
army ever this country that with which SIR
William Howe menaced Long Island, and which amount
ed to thirty thousand men, force not larger than that
which the British government have within a few months
sent to India. In the battle Of Brandywine the Amer
leans had eight thousand, the British nine thousand
men In the battle of Saratoga, the British force was
seven thousand and the American nine thousand men
The British defeat in this battle followed by the
surrender of Burgoyne and seven thousand men. The
next important display Of military force was raised IN
obedience requisition of the government for fifteen
thousand militia to put down the insurrecon in Penn
sylvana In the beginning Of the last war with Eng
land an army of nearly thousand was embodied
in the different divisions on the Northern llne At the
battle of the Thames, the American force amounted to
three thousand Eve hundred In the battle OF New Or
leans the American force amounted to six thousand and
the British to fourteen thousand, of which they lost
seven hundred killed, and thousand four hundred
wounded and FIVE hundred cap;ured-while the Amerl-
can loss was thirteen killed, thrtynne wounded, and
nineteen missng.-[ Albany Knickerbocker.
