Rate of Mortality in the War

1t has been frequently asserted that tie
war has been much more destructive thaA
any war OF ancient or modern times. Al
the recent annual meeting OF the British
Association for the Promotion OF Science,
presided over by Sir Charles Lyel, the great
geOlOgist, there was paper contributed Oy
Mr.. Z. B. Elliott, of Washington. On NIL
itarV statistics of certain armies, when
demonstrates the incOrrectness vi such as
sertiOns. From an abstract oil THIS paper
in The Reader, an able literary lourna! pub
lished in London. we gather the following
facts upon the point in question:
The mortality OF the United states vol
unteers during the fourteen months rom
JULY 1861. 10 August. 1852. inclusive, was
at the annual rate OF : 2-l0 in every 100
men; Of whom but per cent. were killed
in acton. and 2-l0 per cent. died OF us
eases and accidents. The rate OF mortality
of our soldiers in this war f0s that period
was much less than that OF our soldiers ID
the war with Mexico. and very much less
than that Of the British troops IN the Pc
ninsular War, and in the war IN The Crlmea.
In the Peninsu.ar War the average annual
mortality OF the British armies was 10 -
per cent-mOre than , l-4times that or ON
armies during the period in question; anc
in The Crimea Il was % per cent. without
counting those who died in battle-nearll
, Is times the mortality OF our armies
There can be no doubt that much OF I'll:
difference in our favor results from the cars
. which our soldiers receive, both in the CAM
and in the hospital, much OF which IS du'
. 10 the Government, and much TO the SAM
tary and Christian Commissions. and To-
Soldiers Aid Societies OF tie several Stltes
