Deaths in the Civil War.

Twenty years nave passed since the close
81 the civil war, and now, at last, a careful
official record OF the number of deaths that
occurred in the Union army has beenmade.
a little more than twelve months ago, on
The I'd OF June, 1884, Gen. Drum directed
Mr.. j. w. Kirkley, an experienced statisti-
rian OF the adiutant generals office, to begin
The compilation OF this record, with the aid
OF ten clerks. A minute and exhaustive ex-
ploration OF all attainable documents has
now produced a table Of statistics which
Tar surpasses in completeness anything
on the subject hitherto existing.
To state the grand result at the outset,
the table shows a total of 9,S53 deaths of
commissioned officers and $40, 913 deaths
OF enlisted men, making an aggregate 1885,
496 deaths among the Union forces. The
period included in the record is, for the reg
ular troops, the interval between April 10,
1861, n Aug. l. 1865; for d portion OF
the volunteers it is prolonged beyond the
latter date until the muster out OF each or
~ganization. Yet, careful as the examination
OF the records has been, one lack renders it
still far from complete. The death
registers OF some of the largest prisons at
the South, used for the Confinement OF
Union soldiers, are missing. For the
prisons at Americas, Atlanta, Augusta,
Charleston, L%ynchburg, Macon, Marietta,
Mobile, Montgomery, Savannah, Shreve-
port and Tyler the registers AVE not been
secured at all, and the Importance OF these
prisons is wellknown. Only partial records
were had from the prisons at Cahawba, Col
umbia, Florence, SC, Millen and Salisbury.
There have been ways, it is true, OF partly
working up these deficiencies; but on the
other handy as Quartermaster General
Meigs, cited by Mr.. kirkley, has shown, in
many Southern prisons three or fourcorpses
OF Union prisoners were sometimes buried
in the same trench, and thenumber o~fgraves
only imperfectly indicates the number OF
dead. Even in this most imperfect record,
the number OF Union soldiers known to have
died in captivity was close upon 30, OOO-in
exact figures, 29,49S. The late investiga-
ton, we may add, has increased about one
sixth the records ofdeath among Union pris-
oners.
Taking Mr.. Kirkley'stables we derive from
them the following general results.

Ter careful Computation.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court
has decided, following the action OF
other courts Of high authority, that
the sale or purchase Of q life insurance
policy is illegal and void, even when
made in good faith and with theknowl-
edge and approval Of the company.
Such transactions, it is held, are con-
trary to public policy and the just
principles oflife reinsurance, and amount
IN reality to gambling on the duration

mills is no nearer Il settlement except in
that two more mills nave accepted the

enforced idleness among the iron mills
in the West has resulted in a some.

WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE CANAL.

A gentleman, familiar with the
affairs of the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal, who is in the city, says this
will be the last year of that canals
existence. He says he supposes the
Georgetown level, or enough of it to
supply the mills of that place, will be.
kept up by the millers, but that will
be all. The closing of the canal, he
says, will close the lime and cement
business of both Georgetown and
Alexandria, and, of course, render
the Alexandria canal worthless. The
latter canal, he says is just seven
miles and quarter long, including
the Georgetown. aqueduct, and that
when the Chesapeake and Ohio ca
nal is converted into a railway, as it
will be, at least that part of it from
the point of Rocks to Georgetown,
Alexandria should be wide awake
enough to have that road produced
to its waryes, along the bed of the
Alexandria canal, as in that case
Alexandria would attract all the coal
trade, as vessels receiving cargoes
there would not only save ten miles,
but the dangers of a draw bridge and
of narrow and shallow channel
