They receive the protection of our laws and enjoy
the benefits afforded to all alike, and they should
be made to fight for the country or leave it. Re-

A STATEMENT II

STATEMENT
of the killed, roundcd and captured IN the ser-
eral battles and other engagements IN the
v,ar 1861.
The New York herald., 1862-09-16

MORTALITY IN THE FEDERAL ARMY.-An idea
has hitherto prevailed amongst civilians that
the mortality amongst our troops in the field
greatly exceeds that Of the European armies.
The injudicious practice Of sending the sick
and wounded to the hospitals in our large cities
has of course helped to strengthen this belief.
Il was uOless to try to convince persons
entertaining it that there were good reasons
for assuming that the contrary was the fact,
inasmuch as no troops in tie world are better
fed and clothed than ours, and furthermore
because the superior intelligence of our North
ern soldiers has taught them the necessity Of
strict attention to hygienic precautions. All
doubts on the subject are about to be put an
end to by the first statistical report Of the
Sanitary Commission, which will make Its
appearance in the course of week or two
Il shows conclusively that. 30 far from the
The New York herald., 1862-09-16

mortality Of our troops being in excess, it =
much below that Of any of the European
armies. The first nine months Of the war have
been taken by the statistician Of the commits
sion as the basis of his calculations, and he
has carefully classified ell the various causes
of death, 80 as to afford an opportunity Of
distinguishing climatic or local from other in
fluences. The value of such record cannot
be sufficiently appreciated It will not only
serve as guide to the medical department in
our army, but will aid medical science gene
rally, by adding to its stock Of hygienic facts
and combinations.
