Magnitude of the Present War.

Although as yet we have had no very
decisive actions, when compared with
some of the bloody battles of the past,
yet in magnitude of preparation, the pres
ent civil war in America has scarcely q
parallel in history. Some of our zen
gsgements" and "skirnishes," too, have
not been so very insi gni6cant, and when
compared with many conflicts in our two
wars with England, will take rank far a.
bove them. The Albany Evening Jour-
nal has made the following interesting
compilation from history, citing few in
cidents from the war of 1912, to show
what pretty affairs, relatively, were some
OF the most brilliant victories achieved BY
our arms.
The first "battle" of any Importance,
was that OF BrownstowD, near Detroit,
fought August 9th, 1912. Our force was
only 600, that of the British and Indians
com bined, $50. Our loss was l5 killed
and 63 wounded; that Of the enemy 100.
Gen. Hull's "ar@y," which disgrseeful-
y surrendered at Detroit, six days later,
only numbered tacenty tfUe hundred men;
while that of the enemy consisted of only
700 English and 600 Indians. No won
der General Brock who com m anded the
latter, wrote to Sir George Provost -
"Wben l detail my good fortune, your
ExcelleDcy will bc surprised"
At the battle of Queenstown, two col
umns of 800 men each, did about all the
fgbtipg on our side. Gen. Van Rensse-
laer, in bis report, says: "One third part
of the men idle, might have saved ALL"
As it was. some looked op, while many
fed into the woods" leaving their brsth-
rem to their fate.
At the siege of Fort Erie. the English
threw 1000 red hot shot without hurting
man. Oar loss was only 4 killed and
7 wounded.
Brigadier Gen. Smith abandoned his
fsvorite project of invading Canada West
because although be had been preparing
the goeater part of the Summer, and had
cnergetioally drummed up volunteers. he
had succeeded in collecting only 500,
and he did not think the expedition
would be successful unless he had l 500
more,
At the battle of Little York, our force
was 700; that Of tAe enemy 700 Indians.

Chronicles of the Kansas First Regi-
ment,


A member OF Company 6, Of the Let
Kansas regiment. now 10 Missouri, has
!, perpetrsted the following serious para.
graphs:
/ l, Man that is born Of woman, and en-
listeth as soldier in the Kansas First, 10
of few days, and short Of "rations"
2. He eometh forth at "reveille," is
present also at "retrsst," yea. even at
tattoo" and retirsth, apparently, at
"tapsl"
3. He draweth his ration from the com
Dissary and devoureth the same. He
striketh his teeth against much "hard
bread" and is satisfied. He flleth his
capteen with aqua pura. and clappeth the
mouth thereof upon the bung Of whisky
bsrrel, and after little while gosth away
rejoicing in bis strategyl
4. Much soldering hath made him
sharp; yea, even .he seat of his breecbes
are in danger Of being CO. through.
B. He covenanteth with the credulous
farmer for many chickens, and much ho-
ney and milk. to be paid promptly at the
end Of each ten days; and lol bis regi-
ment mcveth on the ninth day to another
postl
6. His ten. is filed with potatoes, cab
bage, turnips, krout, and other delicate
morsels of dulcet delicious taste, which
abound not in the Comnissary Depart
ment.
7. And many other things not in the
"return," and which never will rstarn;
yet, of truth it must be said of soldier
of the Kansas First, that OF surety he
taketb nothing which be cannot reachl
8. He freth bis mimic rife at mid
night, aud the whole camp is aroused and
formed into line, when lol his mess comes
bearing nice porker, which be deslareth
so resembled secesh, that be vas com
PEELED to pull trigger.
9. He giveth the Provost Marshal
much trouble, often capturing his guard,
and possesseth himself of the city.
10. At such times lager and prstzsIs
flow like milk and honey from his gem
erous hand. He giveth withou. stint to
his own comrades, yea! and withholdeth
not from his lsnk expectaut Hoosier Of
the 'Indiany Twenty fourth"
IL. The grunt of pig, or the growing
Of cock, awakeDeth him from the sound
est sleep, and be sounterest forth, until
halted by the guard, when be instantly
c'appeth bis hands on his bread basket,
and the guard in eonuiseration sllowsth
him to pass in the rear, to ease his gripel
IL. No sooner hath be passed the SEN
try's beat than be striketb "bee-line"
for the nearest henri roost, and seizing q
pair Of plump-pullets, returueth, solilo-
quiziDg to himself. 1.-THE noise of q
goose saved Rome, how much more the
flesh of a chicken preserveth the soldier"
l3. He playetb euchre With the parson
whether there shall be preaching in camp
on the Sabbath, and By dexterously
turning Jack" from the bottom, post
poneth the service.
IA. Aud many other marvellous things
doeth be; and lo are they not already
recorded in the morning papers Of Com
psny G!
