THE STRENGTH AND LOSSES OF THE
REREI. ARMIES.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune furnishes very interesting let
ter in relation to the strength Of the
Rebel armies in 1868, 1864 and 1865.
There are very copious tables, giving
the monthly reports. From this &C,
count it appears that the greatest
strength of LEE in 1862 was IN the
month of June, when he had 100, 900
men eft for duty" In that month the
seven days battles were fought with
McCLELLAN, and in July the number TIT
for duty was 69,559, showing loss OF
killed and wounded in those battles OF
over 81, 900. The Rebel army was I'M
,nediatel " reinforced for the great move
ment NorLhward, which resolted in the
D. battles of Groventon, Chantilly and
Antietam. 1t was raised to So, 900 men
in August. In September, after that
campaign, the return was $1,000, show
ing loss of $4,000 men. In June,
1868, LEE had again 100000 men, and
moved northward in his campaign
against Pennsylvania, which culminat-
ed in the battle of Gettysburg. In July
his force fit for duty was only 1875,
showing of loss of nearly $4,000 men
killed, wounded and deserters. There
is no return of the strength of this army
in May, 1864, when GRANT crossed the
Rapidan. There were 52,626 tit for
duty in April, and 81 500 in June. AT
all these times the nominal force was
much greater. For instance, in Nov
ember, 1864, the rolls called for ISL 1926
men, but only $4,000 were noted as fit
for duty. In February, 1865, the force
fit for duty was $1,000, but it is believ-
ed by this writer that when LEE re-
treated from Petersburg, in April, he
had no more than So, 900 men.
The highest number of men whom
Pemberton had in 1862 fit for duty was
29,172. They dwindled to 1921 in
August. Beauregard took command
of that army in September, 1862, and
held it until the ensuing month Of
March, when there were 2S,672 fit for
duty. Jones and Hardee had subse-
quent command, and sometimes having
little more than II 900 men. The De-
partment of South Virginia and North
Carolina was at different times under
command of Gatlin, Holmes, Smith,
lencH, I'LL, w HltHey, lSNoVI, De"'-
regard, Bragg and others. Its greatest
strength was under Longstreet, March
1868, being 45,1O3 men. Hood COM
menced his campaign against Tennes-
see in August 1864, with 1925 men
for duty. In December this whole ac-
tive strength was 23,O53.
On the goth of July, 1852, the total
number in the Rebel Armies Of the East
and West was 1000; in September,
it was 4lS,OOO. In March, 1868, it was
4s, 1900. in July 1868, it was 100000.
In April, 1864, it was $780, 900. In Au-
gust, $4,000. In November, $4,000.
it is estimated that 100000
men were at different times in the Re-
bel armies. Of that number it is be
lieved that fully one half are now dead,
and large number MANNED so as to be
unfit for labor. 10 four years, it is es-
timated that the South lost fully one,
third of its adult male population. 1t
was a grievious sin that caused this
loss, and most grievous has been the
punishment.-PhM. Enquirer.
