Strength of our Armies,

The figures below are derived from oifica
sources;
According to the Official report Of the Pro.
vost Marsbal-General to Congress, 6S,243 vol.
unteeis enlisted IN the army from the lst Of Jan.
uaty to the LIST of November 1868. The draft,
during the same period, realized 10000 men.
total OF about l05 900 new men were thus
added to the army in the ten months mentioned.
Our losses, in the same time by battle, disease,
capture and discharge, did not exceed that mum.
Der so that on the lst Of N jvember last the
strength OF the FEDERAL army vas substantially

formally mustered into tho United States ser.
wee About 10 900 more are enlisted, but as
they are not yet ioi mally mustered IN, do not
include them in my calculations. Thus, our
army Is at this moment 10000 stronger than 1t
wns on the first Of January, 1868, nearly four
teen months ag1. Nor is this all. Up to the
end OF last week, no less than $1,000 colored
troops have been reported as regularly organized
to the department About 5000 more are en-.
listed, but not yet formed into regiments, of the
