One Cause Of the Reduction of Our Forces
in the Field.

10 hose not furnished with the facts it is
not easy to understand Low an army OF 500 900
could have sh1unk 80 much as ours has in one
campaign, having los. Of its effective strength
nearly ii Lo quite one half. Those on tbs
ground account Tor this, however, in awav not
very craGitabje to many Of the absent soldiers
In respect to this, the Washington CORRESPOND
ent q the Evening Post makes the following
statement;
- Inc President found on Mo late visit 1 Gen
Mcclellan that 10000 of the troops taken to
Vhe peninsula are now missing or absent IL IL
impossible to believe tina. more than 10 600 are
dead, wounded, or sick. Gen Mcclellan ex-
pressed ti;s 9Duiou to The President that more
than hali Of the absent soldiers are now we'll.
How ,hey aos away 1t II almost impossible 10
tell i fact, however, has just come to INV
knowledge which will seem 10 eucdite the mat
Ter. A single member Of Congress mas succeeded
in getting turloughs and discharges for three
hundred soldiers during the present session of
Congress Tins is tact, and it will show ho,O
the army has been depleted Or at least one way
in which it's numbers have been reduced. The
friends Of soldiers-of regiinents-haye endeav-
ored to get OF every soldier who was sick of the
service. Members OF Congress desired to be pop-
ular IN their districts, and answered every call
upon them. Colones of regiments and generals
OF brigades had the same desire of popularity
with their men, and one and all have aided in
this depicting process ill the sum total of alb
sentees Is enormous
If Gen McClel4n's estimate of the number
abseni from lis army who ough, not to be, is
correct, it will explain how the army has been
reduced in all its depar mcn's at least 100 900
men These absentees are, Of course, no better
than deserters, and many OF them are undoubt-
edly actually 50. There may be no remedy for
1t, but 1t is possible to prevent the army from
being depleted still further in the same wav
ana We have no doubt the recent stringent or
ders prohibiting sick ard wounded soldiers from
visiting their homes, is a part of an effort to
stop such general and reprehensible absentism
