THE PROPORTION OF LossEs.-In the Pen
insular war, the annual loss of the British
army was l65 to 1000; in the Crimean war,
during July, August and September, it was
at the annual rate of 203 in 1000, but during
the following winter months it rose to 5ll in
1000; and during the next three years the
loss was at the fearful rate of 9l2 in 1000.
During the last year the loss in the American
army was only SIS in every 1000. These
figures look small when compared to the
bloody records of Chickamauga and Gettys-
burg, and are probably nearly correct. One
of the prominent reasons for this favorable
showing, no doubt, is that not only are our
armies better provided with medical men and
other auxiliaries, but it is backed up with an
organization such as was never before known
in the worlds history-the U. S. Sanitary
Commission.

DoN'r CARE FOR HIS BLEssINe.-After
the Committee on Platform of the Cleveland
Convention had made its report, member
moved to amend by adding, "With the bless
ing of God" The President put the motion;
"All in favor Of the blessing Of God will say
aye"-there was perhaps fifty ayes, and when
the nayy were put prolonged response,
ssnay" from three times as many as answered
ave. So the motion was lost, and the Con-
1ention stands opposed to the blessing Of God.

SANITARY CONTRIBUTIONS.

Among the other contributions to the
Sanitary Fund in this Territory, were GER
tain shares of stock in valuable claims.
Not deeming it advisable to sell these
shares in the present condition of the stock
market, and at the same time wishing to
avoid any drain upon the fund, the Com
rnissioners have applied to the companies
for exemption from assessment. In the
case of the share of the Burning Moscow
stock, donated by Samuel Sankey, Esq,
of Virginia, the application was success
full, as will be seen from the following cor
respoudence;
SAN Francisco, May 81, 1864.

favor of May 18th, informing me that certiti-
cate No. 926, representing one share of the

exemption from assessments for a period Of
six or twelve months, came to hand this
morning. In reply l beg 10 say, that the
Trustees of the Company cheerfully comply
with your request, hoping this one share Of
stock may be the means Of doing much good.
Enclosed please find certificate Of exemption
for twelve months. Yours very truly,

Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Gazette
ON THE BANKs OF UToY CREEK, FULTON
COUNTY, GEORGIA, Aug. 1O-Itis somewhat
the Siege Of Atlanta Our fortifieations ex-
tend in long lines from east to west, not invest
ing the city at all. and everywhere confronted
the latter is probably to insure ms the entire
possession OF Atlanta, with the capture or de-
struction OF large part Of the rebel army. But
this result can only be accomplished by DIS
play Of greater energy than we have shown for
the last few days.
e. In the meantime let the loyal people Of the
North take courage. Atlanta being the very
heart of the "Confederacy," and of such pri-
themselves, its fall will ruin them, desperate
resistance was to be expected. Besides, Hood
was placed in command on the express condi-
ton that he was to defend the place to the last,
and If lett to himself will doubtless fight for it
until he sacrifices his entire army. In addition
to this, the Administration Of JEFF. Davis, feel
ing its credit involved in that of the new COM
mander, for whose sake Joe Johnston was
relieved, will make desperate effort to sus-
But it may be considered certain that the
rebel President, watching his Lieutenant
closely, will, it the defense OF Atlanta becomes
absolutely hopeless, order him to withdraw
would be the loss Of Atlanta to the rebels, the
loss Of one OF their two great armies would be
still worse; and, rather than hazard the latter
alternative, Davis would order the evacuation
AS long, therefore, as Atlanta can be defend.
ed under such conditions that the bulk of the
rebel army may at any time be withdrawn, so
long will that army fight us. II affairs remain
in such condition in Virginia that Lee can
spare no considerable portion Of his army for
the Georgia campaign, the evacuation may
speedily take place. On the other hand, if they
can maintain their present position at Rich
mond and Petersburg, while at the same time
they detach $4,000 veterans to Hoods assis-
lance, the defense will be indefinitely pro-
1onged. Some reinforcements have doubtless
already reached Atlanta.
But, putting the case in the most favorable
light for the rebels, admitting that Hood can
be reinforced to the extent I have mentioned,
it is still as certain as any event not yet tran
spired can be, that our magnificent and pow
erful army will conquer in the end. We will
still press upon them everywhere with supe-
rior numbers, and to that pressure they must
at last succumb, as they did at Dalton, at Res
AGA, at Dallas, at Kenesaw and at Peach Tree
Greek Some great stroke Of generalship on
our part may give us the rebel army; for this
I scarcely dare hope. But even ordinary good
management must sooner or later insure us
the possession of Atlanta and this C onfi-
IDENTIFY expect.
