Grants Alleged Waste of Life

FROM theNew \ ork Sun.
Gen. Grant has been repeatedly charg
ed with an extravaganza waste of life i
the conduct of his campaigns. and mar
ticularly in that one which resulted IN the
overthrow of Lees army. But it is ar
Interesting and instructive fact that the
casualties incurred by the Army of the
Potomac during its career from Bull Run
up to the failure of the Mine Run cam
palgn, at the end of 1868 ia period in
which, Notwithstanding the partial vic
tories of Antietam and Gettysburg, it
gained no substantial success over It's
hardy and persistent antagonist were
greatly IN excess of those incurred by it
while under Grant simmediate command.
The only satisfactory recompense for
the loss of life incurred in warfare is
victory followed by the triumph Of the
cause tor which war is undertaken. Con
sldered in the light of this principle, and
not forgetting that Grant was in COM
mand Of all the armies, and therefore
could not regulate details for any of them.
the following carefully prepared state
ment, drawn from official sources, ought
to put an end to the charge of butchery
and needless waste of life, so uniustly
made against the greatest as well as the
most humane General OF his time.

Antietam, Frederick sburg, ChanccllorvilIe

various marches and counter-marches be

the cavalry raids, the Army Of the 20

OF these iifty-two thousand and ninety
six were lost under Mcclellan, the most
cautious and the most unfortunate COM
mandcr the army ever had.
1t must be said of, these losses, that
while they resulted in holding the rebel
army in check, yet by having correspond
lngly lowered the efficiency OF the army,
they contributed indirectly by largely to
the excess Of loss incurred during the
final campaign. Notwithstanding this
fact, and the essential change In the
nature Of the fighting, due to the persls-
tency with which the rebel General COW
cred his men by intrenchments before
giving battle, the aggregate loss of the
forces under Grant immediate command

From this it is evident that the Army

lost before that time The contrast be

gained in the two periods is still more
striking, but needs no Illustration.

A STRANGE INCIDENT.
A Little Girl Three Years of Age Car
ried off by a Bear--MarVel0us Re-
eofery of the Child after Searching
TbirtY-SiX Hours.

{From the L Arlington (Mich.) Record, 3oth ult.)
We have TO record very singular de-
liverance of q girl about three years old
to its parents, after being carried off by
a black bear. and search OF about thirty
six hours through the forest by the ex-
cited parents. The facts as near as we
can gather them are substantially as
follows.
Mr. Henry Flynn lives about forty
miles east of this place, at or near the
logging camps of Mr.. Ludington, and
we believe has charge of one OF the
camps. He started one morning to take
a horse to pasture, about two miles dis
tant from the house, and as he was
ready his little girl appeared and seemed
to be very anxious TO go with her father
who. in in order to please the child, put
her on the horses back and let hes ride Il
short distance perhaps forty rods from
t hous'c, but in plain view of 1t, where
he put her down and told her to run
home. He noticed she was standing
where he left her, and looking back
after going little further, he saw her
playing in the sand. He soon passed
out of sight, and was gone about an
hour, expecting of course that the
child would return to the house after
playing a few minutes.
On returning home he made inquiry
about the child, of its mother, who said
she had not seen the child, and supposed
he had taken her with him. On going
to the spot where he left her, he saw
huge bear tracks in the sand, and at once
came to the conclusion that the child
had been carried off by the bear.
The family Immediately made search
through the forest which was grown W
10 almost jungle rendering their searcl
very slow. All day these anxiou
parents searched for some trace of thei

child, nor did they stop whcn darkness
| came on but renamed in the wood
calling their child by her name, and Will
aching hearts would listen with almos
breathless fear to catch some sound b,
which they could discover their los
darling. Morning came and their search
was fruitless.
A couple of gentlemen looking a
landcame to the house and being inform
ed of the circumstance Immediately sci
out to help find the child. No doubt
existed as to the little one by al, and il
they could only find where the bear had
dispatched his victim they might then
go home with the assurance that they
were never to see their child again but
until some trace of her was found there
was hope.
The gentlemen alluded to had wander
ed about, and as they were passing a
swanlpy spot where the underground was
very thick they either called the child
or else were talking loud, when one of
them heard the child's voice. He then
called the child by name and told her to
come out of the bushes. She replied
that the bear would not let her. The
men then crept through the bushes and
when near the spot where the bear and
the child were they heard "a splash
in the water, which the child said was
the bear. On going to her they found
her standing upon log extending about
half way across the river.
The bear had undertaken to cross the
river on the log and being closely pur-
sued left the child jumped into the water
and SWAN away. She had received
some scratches about her face. arms and
legs, and her clothes were almost torn
from her body, but the bear had not
bitten her to hurt her only the marks Of
his teeth being found on her back, where
in taking hold Of her clothes to carry her
be had taken the flesh also.
The little one says the bear would put
her down occasionally to rest, and would
put his nose up to her face, when she
would slap him, and then the bear would
hang his head by her side and purr and
rub against her like cat. The men
asked her if she was cold in the night
she told them the old bear lay down
md put his arms around her and
rugged her to him and kept her warm
hough she did not like his long hair.
She was taken home to her parents who
ouId hardly express their joy at her

The bear has been seen lusking about
n the vicinity it is supposed tor the
purpose of yet carrying off the child.
The supposition is that it is female
