"A sad Record.

ESQ far,) improbable war. In almost
every battle that has been fought, her
brave troops have distinguished themselves
and shed their blood freely. We know
not how many Of her sons have pershej
in battle, died Of wounds or sickness in
hospitals, or returned home disabled for
life ; but we have no doubt that the mum
Der exceeds that of any other State. Of
her fifteen regiments of Reserves, scarce
enough remain to make two full regiments
OF effective men, and almost every regiment
OF her 200 900 men in the field has suf-
icred more or less severely from the cas-
ualities Of battle, or sickness resulting from
severe duty and exposure. She has lost
largely Of officers, too. Hundreds of her
company officers have fallen, and the
following list of dead field officers, will
show how well and bravcly her gallant
sons have done their duty and sustained
her honor.
