How Many Moro Soldiers can the
Loyal States Furnish.

The N. Y. World Of the 9th has the
following:
According to the last census, there
were then in the United States 1924
065 white males between the ages Of
eighteen and forty-fve years.
BY the same authority we find that
during the year 1851, about 277, 500
male whites reached and passed the
aye Of eighteen, and l2S,600 reached
and passed the age of forty-fve, leav-
inga difference Of $4,000 entering
upon the military age. The latter
number, when diminished by natural
deaths about one per cent? Of the
whole military class, and increased by
tho accessions from immigration,
would express the annual increase Of
the military population in a time of
peace.
In accordance with this statement
the annual home increase would be
$1,000; add for immigration 81 800,
and the total n ilitary increase in the
whole United States in 1861 would be
1913, 400--a ratio Of one to 1851 of
the military population.
The following table, taken from the
United States census of 1860, shows
the number Of males between the
ages of eighteen and forty-fve, that
were then in the now loyal States:
East Saginaw courier. (East Saginaw, Mich.) 1859-18??, 1864-08-24

held superior, the unwise admission OF
conscripts affected with various dis
qualifying infirmities, has rendered il
necessary in order to avoid the great
expense to the state of maintaining
and discharging useless conscripts, to
increase the list of the numbers and
variety of causes of disqualification.
In 1854 such was the number of con-
scripts Of feeble constitution, that the
Emperor addressed letter to the min
lister of war ON the subject, in which
he states, that of the whole number
passed, five thousand six hundred and
ninsty-four were subsequently dis
charged for this cause, by which the
treasury sustained a loss Of one mil
lion five hundred thousand francs.
General Fry, in his last report to
the Secretary Of War, says that "since
the present rebellion two hundred
thousand soldiers, after entering SER
vice have been discharged on sur
geons' certificates Of disability. 1t is
probable that at least one-half of them
were unfit for service when received"
cit may be safely said," he adds,
shat forty millions of dollars were
uselessly expended in bringing them
into the field, to say nothing of their
subsequent expenses to the govern
ment."
The conclusion to be drawn from
the facts and figures above published
is so plain that we need hardly men
ton it. 1t is evident that if we con-
tinue the horrible work Of self-des-
struction at the rate of the past three
years, q very few months will suffice
to exhaust our entire transforming
male population. A worse fate than
that of France after the Revolution,
and the succeeding bloody wars of Ma
poleon, will be ours. Her young
men were all nearly destroyed, and
the process of natural reproduction
developed, as matter Of course, upon
the old and enfeebled. The conse-
quences was that the next generation
of Frenchmen was composed Of men
and women shorter in stature by two
or three inches than their progenitors
and not only this, but in mental and
otherwise in physical characteristics
they showed corresponding inferior
ity to their ancestors. The American
man, so far as mere physically is con-
cerned, is none too robust now are
we willing to descend still lower in
the physical scale More, are we
willing to see American women never
yet accustomed to vigorous toll, hold
ing the pillow, moving and reaping,
hewing wood and drawing water, like
the lowest paySa,oaes of Middle Eu-
rope?
These questions are serious enough
without adding to their solemnty by
calling attention to the blood and
death of these few past terrible years.
We cannot present that phase of the
subject in stronger terms than do the
bulletin boards of our daily journals
after "Another Great Battle"
East Saginaw courier. (East Saginaw, Mich.) 1859-18??, 1864-08-24

The result of the above shows that
the average number Of persons reject
ed for physical and mental disability is
more than one-third.
The Provost Marshal Generals re-
port to the War Department, dated
Oct. 10, 1868, shows that thirty per
cent of those drafted and examined
were rejected for physical disability,
and thirty per cent. were rejected on
account of alienage, by reason of not
being of proper age, of being non
residents, &c. Thus we see that out
Of 5,044, ASP not more than $780, 900
or over one-third, are physically or
mentally disqualified for military SER
vice, leaving only 1884, 452 physically
and mentally qualified for such SER
vice while the calls and enlistments
amounting at the very least to l,500,-
900, which subtracted from the total
physically and mentally qualified arms
bearing population, 1884, 452, will
give margin for other disqualified
tions and for future drafts, 1884, 4S2.
Throwing out those disqualified thro'
any cause, we may confidently as
sert that we have yet one million, five
hundred thousand men, or sufficient
TO carry on the war forthree years
more in the manner inwhich it has
been carried on since its commencement.
Tho last report of the Provost Mar
shall General says that, three million
one hundred and thirteen thousand
three hundred and FIVE have been en-
rolled as not now i'll service. He also
says that more than one third Of the
drafted men who desired exemption
were rejected for physical and mental
disability, that thirty per cent. who
were not liable foI other causes, and
that only eighty per cent of the draft
ed men reported. Dcducting sixty
per cent. of the number enrolled,
would leave one million two hundred
and forty-fve thousand three hundred
aud twenty-five. That report was
dated Oct. 10, 1868. Since Oct. IL,
1863, the President has called for one
million five hundred thousand moro.
