A dispatch was received here this morning from
the Secretary of the Treasury, directing the col
lector of the port to clear vessel with anthra-
cite coal for foreign ports or home ports south of

and excited fears that the Merrmac had got out.
From certain facts that have transpired the order
is supposed to be 4 precautionary measure on the

be well To recall few particulars from the pages
of history respecting the killed in battle When
the Greeks stood forth with only ten thousand
men. to repel the Persian army of FIVE hundred
thousand. the slain left on the field numbered no
les than two hundred thousand. At the battle
of Marengo the Austrians lost SIX thousand in
killed and twelve thousand taken prisoners, while
the number of French who were killed Is said to
have been far greater. At Leipsic. the united
armies of France, Austria. Russia and Prussia,
amounted TO four hundred thousand, and when
the conflict closed eighty thousand had been
been slain. one half OF whom were French, who
also lost sixty five pieces of artillery At Wa
terloo. the French left twenty thousand dead on
the field of battle. having lost MANY more in
their retreat, and the whole number OF their guns

thirteen thousand men. six hundred officers. and
