An exchange presents an array Of
statistics to prove that crowded thea

and. we think, makes its point.
Out OF 1000 persons who went into
the Thea,er at Vienna on the night of
the Sth of December, over 1000 we're
killed outright in space of time un.
measured by minutes. General Grant,
in the four days bloody fighting 10 the
Wilderness, had 26l killed out Of l50-
900 under marching orders. In the ter
rible battles at Spottsylvsnia he had g.
1872 men. killed At Shiloh Grant lost
in two days lighting 1,735 men killed.
At Stone River Rosecrans bad, 1883 Of
the $4,000 men engaged killed outright.
All these were furious conflicts, in which
great armies, trained and.seqaipped to

The slaughter in each case was terrible,
but at Stone River only one man in
thirty was killed. and in the Wilderness
