EFFECT OF WAR ON HUMAN STATURE.-Dr. Bell
says that if the of war be long entailed on
nation, the physical energies of people may sutfr
by the loss of its finest population to such degree
that the succeeding generation will fall short of Its
standard stature, as was the case with the French
youth drafted for the army after the general peace
Thus in 1926 out of one Million thirtythree thou
sand four hundred and twenty-five young men
drafted to serve in the army, three hundred and
eighty Thousand two hundred and thirteen were
Sent back because they fell short of even the di-
mlnutiye stature of four feet ten inches French

The CoNsCRIPTIoN IN MIssIssIPPL-We copied
few weeks ago an article from the Jackson Hissis-
stPpidn, and part of letter from Mr.. Barksdale,
mississippi NJ c., stating that no steps had been
taken to execute the conscript law in Mississippi.
Since that time there seems to have been a change,
as Mr.: Barksdale writes to Hon. Thos. d. Mcdowell
that the enrolling officer has began his work. as he
should have done previously but ''for failure to
receive the order" We are glad to learn that the
President has discovered way to induce " the

Loss on Born SlDEs.-The New York CONNER
ciaL and Adcertiser gives the following figures in
reference to the loss sustained by both armies in
1862. While we give it as information, we would
remark that the statements must be received with
many grains OF allowance:
Our tables of engagements during the year 1862,
give aggregate rebel loss of 6,O94 killed, l760l
wounded, 29S22 prisoners. Added to this is 40 500
reported losses IN killed, wounded and prisoners,
which makes grand total of 9S,209 The aggre-
gate Federal loss during the period is II, 4OS
killed So 42O wounded and 80 22l prisoners. Added
to this is no reported losses in killed, wounded and
prisoners, making grand total of 1881
1t must be remembered, however, that those are
by no means official fgures-indeed, there are very
few, comparatively, official reports of losses. The
battle of Fort Craig Texas and Valverde, undoubt-
edly resulted in rebel loss of at least 5000 killed.
wounded and prisoners while the Union loss in the
first battle must have been at least 200.
The losses of Pope in his disastrous campaign in
Virginia, must have exceeded 10000, while the
rebels escaped with loss not exceeding 5000. At
Perryville, KY, the enemy probably lost 5000
The battles in Arkansas have doubtless resulted in
a rebel loss of 100000 while the Union losses have
not exceeded 900 This increases the grand total of
rebel losses to lO8 07 and that of the Union losses
to l52,Sl9. This is exclusive of deaths by diseases
in either army which must reach very large figure.
