The f.sll01 Ing fSures are derived
fFotl tie morning rolls Of both zr-
Tlies, and their accuracy vilI not l,e
imDeached by any one who prefers
the truth Of history:
Grant, on assuming command.
May 1. 1864, had Of effective men,
besides the reserve. when he crossed
the Rapidan l25, 200.
Lee at the same time had an ei-
fective force of $1,000.
Grants reinforcements up to tho
battle of Cold IIarbor, juno 3, were
$1,000.
Lees reinforccments up to the
same date, were $4,000.
Grants total force, including REIN
lorccmcnts, was $4,000.
Lees total force, including rein
forccments, was 10000.
Returns to their respective Gov.
ernments showed that when both ar
mics had reached James river, June
10th, the number of Grants army
that had been placed hors de combat
was III, 900.
Up to that time, the number of
Lees men who had been put hors de
combat was 10000.
Grant had more than three men
for every one that Lee had; 1000
to 10000.
Grant lost more than six men for
every one that Lee lost; 117,000 to
10, 900.
Grant lost rs many men as all Lee
had and 10000 over half as many
moro besides; 117,000 to 10000.
Grant having in the first instance
more than twice as many men as
Lee Q25,0OO to $4,000 yet he had
to be reinforced by more men than
all Lee ever had; $4,000 to 10000.
These enormous armies did not
suffice to overthrow Lee. This line,
which was to be fought on all sum-
mcr, was abandoned. All that sum-
mcr aud the fall succeeding, and
then tho winter and at last the spring
were spent before, by this system Of
exchanging sic dead or wounded
northern soldier for ono dead or
wounded Southern soldier, the ex-
haustion of Lees army became COM
pletc at Appomattox Court House.
This will be termed calumny by
our Republican cotemporaries, but
to describe the simple and accurate
statement Of facts, without syllable
of eXaggcration or breath Of feeling,
as calumny, is to be incorrect.
No Democratic journal will calum-
Mate Gen. Grant. Calumny is a
completely superfuous weapon
against him. The facts are more
damaging than ca1umny would dare
to invent. To cxaggerate them is
impossible The General who hav-
ing forcc treble that of his foe, con-
tends with him for mouth, all the
while losing six to one, and still is
everywhere checked and unsuccess.
ful-him it is impossible to calumni-
ate. The pen Of history will bite in
uglier epithets about his maine than
calumny can gnaw with oil his SER
pent' 5 teeth.-N. j. World.
