 DISTRACTION or LIFE IN THE LATE WAR. The Provost Marshall General has recently completed careful compilation of all deaths in'battle, whether by wounds or diseases, in every regiment or company from every loyal State from the beg ming to the close of the war. It is a really instructive roll. The facts will become part of the history of the great and decisive struggle. The number of off cers and men who lost their lives in the ser vice, is set down at 2S0,7S9 or this number j,22l commissioned officers and 90,SSG enlist. ed men were killed in battle or received wounds which afterwards resulted in death But diseases were more fatal than battles for we find that I,32l commissioned officer. and lS2, S29 enlisted men died of the variou: diseases incident to military life. These fact: so carefully collated, support the proposition long ruled to be good, tbat diseases vast, more rapidly in time of war than all the car mage of battle. The exigences of the service destroy much of the regularity of living, ex posture and crowded camp life generate tn, leyers and other forms of disease which deci mate more than the bayonet and cannon.
 Perhaps there never was more effective sanitary work done in behalf of an army thar that accomplished, especially during the last two years of the war. Without a doubt thousands of lives in the aggregate, were say. ed by the various agencies employed, whicl secured the assistance at the right moment And the men who followed with stores anc ministrations, and sll who contributed mate rial aid for such purposes, however unconspic uous, bore an honorable part in the great struggle. The effort 10 save life and mitigat, the horrors of carnage are inspired by tho same patriotism which opans the battery unef the foe. It is too early yet to write up tn, losses in the great conflict We have few ac curate statistics from the rebel side. The, had much less effective sanitary organizations and the waste of life in proportion to the nun oers involved must have been far greater thsr on the loyal side. The aggregate of lives lost on both sides, either in the conflict or result ing from it, cannot be far short of l 900 OO0 The great dead roll of the war is terrible record.

GOVERNOR MeCoRMIcK received hi. commission on Sunday by the Tubac mail It bears date April 10th, and was postmark ed at Washington April 18th Where it ha. been all the time Is mystery.
 On Monday at noon, in the presence of sey. eral citizens, the Governor took the oath ol office before Chief Justice Turner, and shortly after issued the proclamation announcing his entrance upon the duties of the office, which appears in another column.
 During the afternoon and evening numbers of our citizens waited upon the Governor to tender their ratulations-although as he has been recognized Governor for six months past it was difficult for them to realize that he had but just received his commission.
 The Governor, now that be is fairly seated in the Executive Chair may congratulate himself that his course, from his first official connection with the Territory, has been sus- tained by the Government, and by the mass of the people lls promotion is . complete vindieation oc bis official conduct, and one that be has a right to be proud of

The country about Carson and Virginia cities is as desert compared with it, and we do not wonder that persons who come from there are sogreatly surprised to find first class mines with such pleasant surroundings.

The Quartermaster General has issued the
following order:
"Ofhcers on duty in the several military
departments are hereby instructed that Gen
erl Orders No. n from this Office, dated De-
cember 18th, 1865, are not to be SO con-
strued as to authorize the seizuae of animals
which being branded &C. S. !" are not shown
to have ever been in possession of the United
States, or to have been included in any sur
render of the rebel armies"
In this section we have suffered from the
seizure Of horses branded G. S. to an amount
nearly relieving us Of all such property, and
this order, as far as we are concerned, looks
very much like locking the stable after the
horse is gone" We publish it, however, for
the benefit of any who may have horses brand
ed G. s., which have never been in possession
of the United States, or included in the sur
render Of any of our armies.

The rising ola party in Spain, under the name
Of Progressistas," whose avowed object is
the emancipation Of the Spanish Crown from
the influence of the church party, in the hope
that the policy of the country may be made
more progressive, is in progress. IT is head
ed by one Of the most beloved of the Spanish
Leaders, Gen Prim, and is said to number
among its adhercnts many men of culture,
ability and fortune With the church party
one ono side and the property owners on the
other, it may prove more serious affair than
reports from Spain, at present, represent.

of the distinguished commander of the Gulf

The Vagrant act, passed by the Legisla-
ture, in designating persons, who shall be IL
able to the penalties imposed by law upon va
grants, embraces the following class:
All persons not having wherewith to
maintain themselves and their families, live
idl;;, and without employment, and refuse to
work for the usual and common wages given
to other laborers in the like work in the place
where they then are
This clause, though an exact transcript
from the Yvagrant act. of Pennsylvania, is OBJ
jected to by Gen. Terry, commanding the
Department of Virginia, and he has ordered
it to be set aside, as far as colored persons are
concerned. What is right in Pennsylvania,
in reference to her Migrants, is wrong in Vir-
ginia, in the estimation of the military author
tiles Truly these are wonderful times up
on which We have fallen When an amend
ment to the Constitution is to be ratified,
Virginia is State in the Union. but when
she desires representation or legislates for the
welfare of her people, she becomes a terrific
ry under military authority Our people are
getting tired of this shilly -shally, and would
like the matter settled as to whether Virgin
ia is to be "pig or puppy"

Disruption and Downfall OF the Republican

On subject 50 interesting, we will not
vapor, but reason submitting to the judg-
ment of the candid whether there is solidity
in what we have to offer.
The success and ascendancy of parties be-
ing aquestion of numbers, we will begin BY
a statistical basis. We may assume that the
men who adhered to the Democratic party
through the obloquy of the last Presidential
election will not easily be shaken in their po-
litical convictions. We may also safely take
it for granted that the Republican party will
find no favor in the South By adding to
the popular vote for Mcclellan the whole
voting population of the South, we shall get
the real strength Of the present opposition to
the Republican party. A comparison of this
with the vote for Lincoln viii show on which
side lies the preponderance. As eleven States
did not participate in the election, we shall
use, in this estimate, their vote in opposition
to Lincoln in 1860, leaving out South Caro-
lima. whose Presidential electors were chosen
by her Legislature

We understand that petitions being cir
culated among those men, who pspfsss to be,
per caccllence, Union men in tins communi-
ty, the design Of which is to secure the re-
turn Of United States soldiers to this place.
We have inquired of those we thought would
know, in reference to this petition and have
received no light upon the subject, as st is
not deemed proper, as yet" by those who are
manouvering it, Nto make its purport pub
lic." Not being able to get at its purport,
save from rumor, we now, desire simply to
enter our protest against it, as we understand
it, as being wrong to the vast majority of
our people, there being no ground for the
circulation of such petition, affairs having
moved along far more quietly since the with
drawal of troops from this place than while
they were hcre-as wrong to the Union (?)
men, among whom it is purported to be cir
culating, being calculated to create an un-
necessary animosity between them and a
large majority Of our people, who, though
having sympathiscd with the cause of the
Confederacy, are as loyal to the Constitution
and Government of the United States as any
people in the Union, and disposed to treat
kindly those who have so widely differed from
them in the past, and as a great wrong to
the freedmen, who, without cause, have been
outrageously treated by the U. S. soldiers sta
toned here at different times.
The removal of the troops from this place
was the cause Of rejoicing to citizens, freed
men, and, of our own knowledge, to the Su-
perintendent of the Freedman's Bureau at
this point, on account Of their outrageous
conduct. No one can possibly be benefited
by the re-garrisoning of Staunton, and we
shall oppose its being done. Of the petition
we may have more to say, when we get more
light on the subject.
