The GREAT QUESTION OF FIGHrN0 MEN-
REBEL Losses AND UNION GANs-In q late rebel
journal, commenting upon Bragg's Improbable
victory Of Chickamauga, the editor confesses
that the rebel losses In men were fearful to con-
template especially in view Of the fact that every
man now lost to the cause diminishes the limited
resources Of the confsderscy. In this view, who
can estimate the advantages We have gained
in the occupation Of Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis-
souri,, Arkansas and Lousians and the portion
Of Mississippi held by our troopss Here IL q
field which, under the rebel conscription laws,
would furnish even now to Jef. Davis two hun
dred thousand fighting men, and nearly al this
vast area was practically within his grasp ct
the beginning Of the war. Thus, - our armies
advance, they are strengthened and the enemy
weakened. The occupation OF Richmond by
General Meade would be equal to the loss to
JEFF. Davis Of fifty thousand Virginia soldiers;
for at least that number Of her troops In the
rebel service would abandon It with the recov-
cry Of their State to the old flag. Why Is it that
General Meade cannot be sufficiently reinforced
to enable him to move on to Richmond? We
should like to know.

The New BADGES OF DISTINCTION Nothing
can be more ridiculous than the recent order
Of the Secretary Of War with regard to the
badges Of distinction for bravery in the field.
By the order "the Secretary Of War directs that
for each battle in which every officer, nom
commissioned officer and private of the Invalid
corps may have been engaged and borne an
honorable part scarlet braid, one-sixth Of an
inch wide, may be worn on the right arm, with
q space Of one-sixth Of an inch between each
braid" II the soldier be not invalided he gains
no mark Of distinction; but If he be, and shall
have passed through more than twenty battles
his badges will reach far above the elbow,
with alternate stripes of red aud blue, and fill
up all the space between tho wrist and the
chevrons Of the non-commissioned officer, with
no room to spare for future achievements.

mishes In less than double as many daysY
