IA We regret to find the following
paragraph in letter addressed by Capt.
Churchill to the editor of the GRANVILLE
(Ill) Independent We are confident
that upon reflection the Captain will re-
greet that he wrote it. We have seen no
disposition on the part of any one to
make invidious comparisons between the
troops of the different States, and are
sorry that SO good soldier as Captain
Churchill has set so bad an example in
this particular. To show how unjust is
the Captains insinuation, it is only
necessary to state that an Ohio regi-
ment in the same brigade with the Cap.
tain's regiment, lost many more men.
The following is the paragraph to which
we refer:
You will do me a personal favor to
give the above list of killed and wounded

BG- The Louisville Journal says that
any officer in our army who resigns his
commission on account of anything the
President has done or may do, or on ac-
count of anything the President may not
have done or may not do, is traitor at
heart, anG should be sent to Fort War
rem. All loyal men, we believe, assent
to this proposition.

Great Battles.

The New York Times, in commenting
on the mortality in the four most promi-
ment battles Of the present war, viz:
Shiloh, Antietam, Fredericksburg and
Murfreesboro, says not one of them is to
be ranked among our best fought battles,
because in not one of them was the best
use made of the material in hand. The
Times comes to this sagacious conclu-
sion by an exarninatia--ac Al-----4---1
ausrrucrIon suffered and inflicted. But if
its statistics are as ridiculously false in
other particulars as in that relating to
the battle of Stones River, little reli-
ance can be placed in its conclusions.
In speaking of the Murfreesboro en-
gagement, it says:
At Murfreesboro we had about $4,000
men engaged, and, according to the tele-
graph report of Gen. Rosecrans, lost, in
killed and wounded, about five thou
sand, which is ten per cent
We have before US the official list of
the killed, wounded and missing in that
engagement, and it is as follows:

DEAR SIR: regret exceedingly the
necessity of returning the enclosed let
tiers.
On the night of Friday, January the
Cd, the AID Indiana was directed to take
possession of, and, if possible, hold strip
of woods directly in front Of our brigade,
and which it was considered important
to obtain.
The regiment took the position and held
it until morning, but just before daylight,
an overwhelming force of the enemy adj
vanced on them, supported by artillery
which threw upon our men terrific dis
charges of grape and canister No
troops in the world could have withstood
it, and the attempt would have been
useless sacrifice of life Our troops
gradually fell back upon the main line,
but Lieut.. Col. S. having been directed
by Gen Thomas not to abandon the POI
sition if by any means it could be held,
was 10th to retire and bravely rallied the
few men immediately around him and at
tempted to resist the onset of the rebels,
but in vain; they were at length over
powered and made prisoners.
The point was retaken on the night of
the Sd, but only after a desperate fight
and by force three times as great as
that engaged in the first attempt.
Lieut. Col. S. bore himself most gal
lantly in the battle of Wednesday, as all
testify, and there is general and sincere
sympathy for the unfortunate terminal
ton of the affair ofFriday night.

The Times is also mistaken as to the
strength of General Rosecrans' army
when it went into battle. The intelli-
gent correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, who has had ready access to
the official reports of division generals, on
file at Gen. Rosencrans' headquarters,
says the actual strength of the army on
the day the battle began did not exceed
10000. Out Of this number, S,4S5 Of
fcers and men were killed or wounded,
a loss of near tlceRty-t,oo per cent
Few battles in the history of the world
have been characterized by greater de-
struction of life in proportion to the
numbers engaged than that in the vi
cinity of Murfreesboro.
We take the following statistics of 9TH
er battles frnm-tha snnne nanar- in order
that our people may, by comparison, more
fully appreciate the daring, gallantry and
tenacity of their friends in the Army of
the Cumberland as well as the indomita-
bic pluck and fertility of resources of its
noble commander:
How with the battles in Mexico? At
Buena Vista we lost in killed and
wounded 723 out Of 1900, or nearly sir-
teen per cent at Moline del Rev, 1877
out of 3,447, or nearly ttgenty-three per
cent at Cherubusco, 1000 out of $500,
or 0rer thirteen per cent at Chepulte-
pee, S63 out of $500, or nearly thirteen
per cent
How with the great battles in Europe?
At Bautzen the loss in killed and wound
ed, on both sides, was about seventeen
per cent lat Leipsic, at Wagram, and
at Austerlitz, each about eighteen; at
Lutzen, about nineteen; at FriedIand
and Marengo, each about t,oentyone;
at Jena, about tscenty-sir; at Waterloo,
about thirty; at Aspern (including Ess-
ing), about thirtyJiUe; at Eylau and
Borodino, each about thirty-sir.
There is good reason why the losses
in battle in America do not equal those
fought in Europe. The topography of
our country is altogether different. Our
vast and almost impenetrable forests,
which are invariably selected by the
rebel officers for positions of defense
afford most excellent protection, and
prevent that loss of life which would
-, -.-a.-l---=------l-;..s-4,f
Europe. The battles of Wilson's Creek
and Prairie Grove were in great mea-
sure fought on a prairie, and there the
loss of life was enornous-being over
twenty-five per cent in the former, and
quite as large in the latter
