The cEaplaiuS' and other informal reports
from the various regiments engaged In this

time passes, many Of the smssing'' cone

the Nerth, but the deaths Of quite as
many hare been also added to the earliest
computation. It is my belief that our list
Of those killed on the 1ield, aad those since
dying Of their wounds, will not fau short OF
seextl hundred aud JJiffy;; tha5 our wounded, in

former class largely compased Of those VINO
dragged themselves TO TIC PotoDac-a:e con
sidcrably over one Thousand and that the en-
emj' IS prisoners are sufficient il number to
swell oEr losses to the aggregate Of 2 500,
oue-ten:l Ut the Federal force engaged in
combat. These figures, it will be observed,
are about tie same IS the losses which the
rebels acknowledge themselves to have sus-
tanned. 1t was indeed 3 ferc7 contest; with
perhaps two exceptions, the bleodicst and
most hotlJ disputed Of any field engagement
in American lis tory. And 10 forces, atser
nearly undergoing decimatien, could be ex-
pected to stand the charge Of fresh troops ar
irving at the close Of the terrib1s hot and

The InefEciency Of the Blockade.

The English and French Ministers are CON
etaatly in rcceip: Of Intelligence from their
agents at several Of The blo:saded ports, to
tie effect that ships Of various kinds are
known to pass in and out OF the blockaded
ports without any apparent opposition, and,
therefore, it is asserted that the blockade is
not effective. Unless the government is more
active, and displays more vIgor and detefmin-
.ation III this matter, these two governments,
who are watching matters. along the coast,
will give cur government considerable trou-
Bile. l learn from an officer WHO has Just re-
turned from 9 hlockading post, where he has
baen stationed, That quite number Of yes.
sels from foreign ports had cscaEed the Vlgi-
lance Of our feetsand had run the blockade,
These facts have all been Laid before the
Government Thus fari is conceded On al
efficient. This vessels Ehat arc now being hired
and purchased are mostly unfit fer the service ice
required, and yet large sums are paid Tor
them. The lobby Hho are engaged in pasmlng
off these vessels are, however, doing fine bn-
slneEs. The attention Of the President has
been directed to this matter, sud also to the

The brightest boy of the class examined
for admissian to the Annapolis Naval Ac-
ademy, was little fellow from Texas, about
fifteen years of age, who had been three years
setting type in a newspaper Office, and had
studied mathematics and arthmatic with a
dip candle in the garet of log cabin at night
He was poorly clad when he reached Annap-
oils, and on being asked how he obtained the
means to reach Annapolis, replied that he
worked for it and that his money falling short
on the route had got some small jobs oftypeset-
ting iu New Orleans and other points of his
journey If he should not be admitted he ex
pected to work his way home again He is
now to be seen on board the Constitution in
his naval uniform, with his gilt buttons and
anchor, looking as bright aed hopeful as if
be anticipated becoming a Commodore.

4 Few FAcrs ABOUT MINORITY PREsIDENTs.-
The democratic papers are deriving what com.
fort they can from the reflection that Lincoln
is a minority President--in other words that
he has not majority of the whole vote poll
ed Now, Mr. Lincoln has IN round numbers,
100000 votes and that is more than any
President before him ever got and very few
of our Presidents, within the last 40 years,
have had majority Of the popular vote
jackson and Harrison were about the only ex-
ceptons. There was a majority of $4,000
against John Quincy Adams in 1924. and
James X. Polk was in minority of 80. 900 in
1874, as was Van Buren, in 1886 The popu-
lar majority against Gen. Taylor was Isl 7OS
and the majority against Buchanan ia 1856
was 3T7,620.

MisffIIa
A Railway Train Saved supernaturally.


The Xenia (Ohio) Neacs is publishing
series of "reminiscences by an engineer. In No.
"a of his series the writer gives the following
rather startling incident: Il was running
night express train, and had tram OF ten cars
--eiuht passenger end two baggage cars
and all well loaded. | was behind time, and
was very anxious to make certain polut
therefore was using every exertion, and put
ting the engine to the utmost speed of which
she was capable. l wasOn a section of the road
usually considered the best running ground on
the line, and was endeavoring to make the
most of it, when a conviction struck me that
I must stop. A something told me that l
must stop if | would save life. / looked back
at my train; it was alright. | strained my
eyes and peered into the darkness, and could
see no signal of danger nor anything betoken-
ing danger, and there | could see five miles in
the daytime. I listened to the working of my
engine, tried the water, looked at the scales, and
all was right | tried to laugh myself out of
what thea considered childish fear, but,
like Banquo's ghost, it would not down at my
bidding, but grew stronger in its hold upon me-
/ thought Of the ridicue would have heaped
upon me if | did stop; but it was all of no
avail The conyicton-for by this time it
had ripened into q convicton--that l must
stop, grew stronger, and | resolved to Stop
Accordingly, came to dead halt, got OIL,
and went ahead little way, without saying to
anybody what was the matter. had lamp

when | saw what convinced me that Fremoni,

lantern from my nerveless grasp, and sat down
on the track, utterly unable TO stand for there

entered nv mind, as it had never been used
since | had beer on the road, and was known
to be spiked, but which was now opeu to lead
me off the track This switch led off into a
stone quarry, from which stone for bridge pur-
poses had been quarried, and the switch was
left there, in case stone should be needed at
any time; but it was always kept locked,
and the switch rail spiked. Yet here it was
wide open, and had | not obeyed my premoni-

only about ten rods along, my engine and tain
moving at the rate of forty miles per hour,
would have came into collision with solid
wall OF rock, eighteen feet high The conse-
quences had done so, can neither be imagln,
ed or described; bet they could, by no posi-,
bility, have been otherwise than fatally horr:d

not attempt TO explain it or say whence il
