for disrespectful language to his Cclonel.-
One year later he was doing duty as senti-
mel at an outpost of Kabylia. The Colonel
now General, and commanding officer of
the district-rode slowly by. 1t was twi-
light. A ball whizzed within few inches
of him, but lodged in a tree. The General
rode straight up to the sentinel, who fell on
his knees and prayed for mercy. "Silence," !"
was the reply ''they are coming you will
be lost" The patrolling party. having
heard the shot, came up while he was speak
ing. "Its nothing" said the General; g |
was trying the new cartouches; | fancied
they might be damp" The culprit is at this
moment valet to the worthy General, and
wears the ball, which he extracted from the
tree, constantly round his neck, only so
roughened as to cause constant irritation of
the skin, which. he says, reminds him of bis
attempted crime, and of his Generals mercy.

From these facts it appears that the num-
Der OF deaths In the army on the battle. field
or in the hospitals from wounds is only one
tenth of the casulties that occurred during
the war and that not four per cent. of the
men sent to the war lose their lives from the
bullet. Over twice as many died from dis
ease as from battle. Nearly quarter of
million of men, who entered the army hale
and hearty and in whom the rigorous militia
ry examination could find no fault, were dis
charged for disability. Legess, armless,
eyeless, they live to bear witness to the cruel
demands rebellion made on the productive
power of the country.
The mortality among the colored troops
was far greater than that of the whites
Among the latter, one out of every fifteen
died of disease; among the former. one out
of every seven. While ut 2,997 blacks
died in battle, 26, ,30l died of disease. The
negro was not so capable as the white man
of enduring the trials of military life slave
ry had enfeebled him. And as the proper
ton of sick to those who die of disease is as
five to one, large proportion of the colored
troops must have been constantly upon the
sick list They lacked that mental activity,
that buoyancy of feeling, and that fertility
of resource that made the white man supe-
rior to his circumstances.
