WASHINGTON, May 19.-Mr. James III
Clements, delegate from Portsmouth
Va, to the unconditional Union conven
tion of Virginia, which adjourned sine
die at Alexandria, yesterday, states that
there is mistake in the published re-
port that the resolutions recommended
by the Hon. John Minor Bolts were
adoted by the convention. The plat
form approved of was that reported from
the committee on resolutions, to which
it is stated Mr.. Bolts expressed his will.
lingness to abide. ....
When President Lincoln, in April, 1861
called for 10000 militia for three months
service, the army of the United States
had on the rolls, $4,000 men. Durip Q
the ensuing four years, 26S ,523 men were
enlisted, of which 2 ,40S, l03 left the army
alive. Of the balance, 96,089 died in
battle or of wounds, while lS4 ,33l died
Of disease. The number of white troops
enlisted was about 2,500,000. The num-
Der of deaths among them was 25l ,l52
or one death out of ten. Tie number of
colored troops was 10000, of which
29,29S died, or about one out of six, being
nearly double the rate of deaths among
the white troops. Out of every eight
deaths among the white troops three
died on the field of battle and five from
disease. Out of every nine deaths
among the black troops, one died on the
field of battle and eight from disease
The mortality among the volunteers was
nearly fifteen per cent. greater than
among the regulars. These statistics
are taken from official records, but while
they give the number of those who died
in service they make no mention of the
host who were obliged to leave the army
and who went home to die.

in some practical form, promising ulti-
mate accomplishment in fact. 1t is
about thirty years since they separated,
for reasons that then seemed sufficient.
There have been some assimilations
since those times Whether they hav 9
been to such an extent as to justify the
initiation of measures, for reunion, is
a question worthy at least of considera-
tion The proximity of the assemblies
might, under the circumstances, suggest
and facilitate movements in that direc.
ton.
The Old School Assembly consists Of
255 members-Ministers and Ruling
Elders. For the Office of Moderator,
three candidates were put in nomination
the Rev DR.. Stanton, late of the The
illogical Seminary, Danville, Kentucky
the Rev. DR.. Gurley, of Washington
City, and the Rev. DR.. Wilson, of Gin
Cinnati. DR.. Stanton received l5s votes,
DR. Gnrley 75, and DIR. Wilson I6
These gentlemen are understood to rep
resent respectively the three phases Of
opinion touching the late war, and the
action thereof Of the last five Assem-.
blies, especially the action of 1865, in
relation to the terms on which ministers
in the South should be reinstated in
their former connection with their Old
School Presbyterian Church.
For the understanding of these differ
eut opinions, it is proper to say that the
action, or, as it is termed " the deliver
ances of the successive assem- blies,
since the beginning of the war, have
been strictly and decidedly loyal to the
Government, indicating not only the
sentiments of the body Oil the war, but
also the belief that ii was proper for
such an ecclesiastical body to express its
sentiments on the subject. On the latter
point there was a difference of opinion
among those who were unanimous
on the former. There was also, in
the Assembly of 1863, after the war, a
difference among men, on the method Of
restoring unity to the Church and the
resumption ofttormer relations between
the parts of it which had been separated
by the war.

The Board at first refused to give me
anv further information, or to make any

heard their testimony, would find out
what was accused of, but finally said
