THE MAGNIrUDE OF THE WAR -I 1t will
be interesting to compare with the official
statement. by the Secretary of War, of the
numbers of the grand army Of the Union,
some figures showing the number ofou troops
in previous wars. from which it will be seen
that the magnitude of the scale upon which
this war is now being conducted is appalling
compared with those that have preceded it..
1t should be promised that estimates of the
class appended are almost always overstated,
from confusion and double enumeration in
the different leyies. Especially was this true
of the Revolution. But here are the figures
