erArIsrICs or THE MAR.

Very few persons have stopped to mo-
tee that the States and Territories con-
tributed to the army of the Union nearly
$500, 900 men, and fewer persons have
had opportunity 10 learn the losses by
death IN the field, In hospitals of wounds
received in action, or from disease con-
tracted during service.
Vermont, State that gave freely of
the lives of its sons, furnished more men
than were required under the calls made
upon Il. So did Massachusetts, by more
than 1900; 50 did little Rhode Island,
by 5000. Connecticut sent more men
than were demanded by $4,000. New
York's quotas aggregated more than
100000, and the State contributed 49,
047 men for all terms of enlistment, or
S92, 270 when all were reduced to three
years standard Delaware exceeded the
demand made upon the State, and SO did
West Virginia. Indiana. Michigan, Wis
consins Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri Cby
$4,000 Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas,
and North Carolina The part borne IN
the War Of the Rebellion by the colored
troops Is interesting In the light of the
statistics Of losses. Nearly 100, 900 col
ored men were enlisted. Out of this
great number the deaths In action were
not many, but the casualties of all kinds
amounted to the extraordinary ratio of
more than 20 per cent Disease preyed
upon them frighfully, claiming for its
victims nearly one out of three of the
whole number furnished to the army.
Among the Eastern States Connecticut,
Massachusetts, and Rhode Island lost
less than the average number of men,
while the losses of Maine, New Hamp-
shire, and notably Vermont, exceeded the
general average. The losses in none of
the Middle States were up to the aver
age, and that Of New York was less than
that Of Pennsylvania The casualties
among the Western troops exceeded the
general average in Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin. Missis-
sippi's loss was relatively greater than
that of Ohio. The loss of Iowa was
nearly twice as heavy, relatively. as that
Of New jersey.

1t is an interesting fact, which may be
explained by those who can throw light
upon the subject, that while the colored
troops lost nearly 81 900 men, only 291
of them died prisoners in Rebel hands.
Ohio, which lost nearly 5000 men, left
2,711 men to die in possession of the
enemy. OF New Yorkfs loss of 46, 600,
5,546 died prisoners. Pennsylvania, with
a record of 80, 900 dead, shows that 200
of that number died prisoners. Illinois
lost nearly 81, 600 men. and of these there
died in Rebel prisons nearly 1900. Yet

HOSPITAL.

DIED O1SEASE.
Of all the foes of the soldier, that which
should have most terrors for him is
disease foe that assails him unseen,
and which has for its allies the neglect of
personal cleanliness, bad drainage of
camps, insufficient and irregular supplies
of food, bad clothing, the forced march
under the scorching sun, the miasma of
the swamp, and the unregulated use Oh
stimulating drinks. The record in the
table of ''Died of Disease is an ex-
tremely interesting one. Nearly ten In
100 of all the 100000 men enlisted in
the armies of the Union fell by disease.
1t was disease, not the bullet of the Rebel
soldiery, that created such fearful havoc
among the colored troops While they
lost less than per cent. killed upon the
field of battle, and not / per cent. died
from wounds, the loss from disease was
more than 50 per cent, or nearly one
third of the whole number of enlistments.
Almost as susceptible to disease as the
colored men were the troops furnished by
the Indian nations. Their losses in
killed were nearly up to the general
average, but their record of death from
disease-21.9 5 per cent.-was more than
twice as heavy as the average loss to the
whole army. The superiority of the
l1OOIJo OhCA lAlC A1OOtAASAAA IL
ability to cope with the invisible foes OF
the soldier is plainly indicated. Tenncs-
see suffered loss by disease of nearly
one-fifth of the number of men furnished.
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky,
and Louisiana appears to have lost more
than the general average, while the
troops of Delaware, Maryland, North
Carolina, and Texas stand as well upon
record as some of the Eastern States
The record of all the Eastern States is
below the general average, showing thai
the soldiers from that section were eithel
harder or healthier than some OF theil
comrades, or that they were not exposed
to conditions as trying to health. Tht
Middle States appear to have sent mel
| into the field who withstood disease well
for their losses of that sort were far updel
the general average. On the other hand
the losses by disease among the troop
| from the West, except those from tn
States of Minnesota and Ohio, were Il
each instance in excess of the genera
average, Iowa's loss being 1914 per cent
The table of losses by disease is as fol

Not quite three men In 100 of the
whole army were killed outright upon
the field of battle, but some of the States
suffered beyond that general average.
The general average of deaths on the
field was 2.8S. Vermont lost more
heavily in proportion than any other
State in both "killed in action and
''died of wounds" Next to Vermont
comes Pennsylvania with a record of
1888, or seven men slain in action out of
every 200 who faced the enemy. Yet
Pennsylvania loss of men who died of
wounds was small, while New Hamp-
shire, which lost 3.41 per cent. killed,
shows 2.65 per cent as dying from
wounds received in action. Michigan
lost S.49 per cent. killed in action. and
2.05 per cent died of wounds, or more
than five out of every 100 men. New
York's loss of sos per cent. killed out
right exceeded the general average, but
not Pennsylvania average. While New
York lost more men by death from
wounds, the losses by both States in
killed and wounded were the same, Or
nearly five out of every hundred. The
losses In killed by Illinois and Indiana
were but triflle less than those of New
York and Pennsylvania, and the losses of
the two States We're but slightly different,
that of Indiana being greatest. In the
table OF aggregate losses it was shown
that the Southern States of Alabama,
Arkansas, Louisiana, and Tennessee con-
tributed to the death-rolls a very much |
larger percentage than any of the North !
ern or Western States.
Tennessee, with an aggregate loss of !
nearly 20 per cent, or one-fOurth of all |
the men enlisted in the name of the |
State, lost less than three in 100 killed or |
died of wounds. This loss was but |
slightly under the general average. |
Louisiana, with an aggregate loss of more |
than 20 per cent. from all causes, lost
but PIG killed, and 1872 died from
wounds. A significant line is that show
ing the loss of the troops of the Indian |
Nation to have been 2.40 per cent in |
killed. And still more significant and |
is the showing that the negro |
troops lost but 1.86 per cent. in killed, |
while more than 40 per cent of the col |
ored troops furnished were consigned to |
the grave as soldiers. Defamation, !
word used freely and often extravagantly |
to describe great losses, is but a feeble |
and inadequate term TO apply in attempt |
ing to convey an idea of the terrible |
losses among the black troops. The Dis |
trict of Columbia troops, of which there |
were more than 1000 in the army, do |
not appear to have been exposed in ac- |
ton, for their losses are both actually |
and relatively very small. The Califor- |
mia troops, through no fault of their own
perhaps, show almost as remarkable a !
record of immunity from danger, and it |
is explained by the fact that few of the |
California troops were brought to the |
East. Florida, with an aggregate loss |
higher than the general average, had a |
small percentage of loss in killed.

INTERNAL REVENUE.

An esteemed contemporary insists
that the Internal Revenue Bureau be
"wipod out" because it is Can odious,
oppressive and undemocraiic institu-
tion." None need pay the taxes on
whisky and tobacco except such persons
as consume these commodities hence
Il is difficult to see in what consists the
oppressive character of this method OF
taxation. If the voluntary taxes which
men pay for their drink and smoke are
undemocratic, in the estimation of our
contemporary, it would doubtless re-
gard the Custom-houss as an altogether
lovely Democratic institution. But ii
the Internal Bureau were wiped out, as
can nndemocratic institution" it would
be curious to learn whence are to come
the $3.50, 900, 600 of Treasury receipts
which are now drawn from whisky aud
tobacco. How could the large Treas
ury deficit be covered after losing this
revenue and refunding forty or sixty
millions of dollars to holders Of whisky
and tobacco on which the taxes have
been paid? Must the duties on tea
and coffee be revived? Increase of
protective duties would result in loss of
revenue, and q general reduction of
duties to tho revenue standard would
encounter the iercest hostility from all
the protectionists in the country. It is
besides, evident from the ccnditioo of
the public finances, that the Internal
Revenue Bureau must stand for a long
time to come, no matter what may be
the result Of the efforts in behalf of
tariff reform. The revenue from i'm.
ports are MOI sufficient 10 meet the or
diAary expenditures Of the Government
and to pay the interest on the public
debt. The internal taxation Of whisky
and tobacco was, it is true, imposed AZ
war measure, and it will still perform
its functions as a war measure 30 long
as its proceeds are applied to the ex-
tinguishment Of the national indebted
ness. So far from being odious and op-
pressive, there are no taxes which the
people pay SO cbeerfully and feel so little
as the taxes on what they drink and
smoke. Yet it is q curious fact that
there are persons who declaim against
their voluntary taxes, aHj yet regard
with the utmost complacency the taxes
that are wrung from the nscessaries Of
the faulty. 1t is much better to pay
taxes on luxuries than on necessities.
This fact must address itself to the con.
viction of every rejecting Democrat.

The New England veterans Of the
late war went on an excursion the other
day to HarriSonbrrg, Virginia, whore
they were met and very courteously
and kindly treated by confederate
veterans. Now all this was bad enough
--in fact mingling with disloyalty
that is truly reprehensible, but when
these New England veterans deliber-
ately marched out to confederate
cemetery and strswed rebel graves with
flowers, the offense is one absolutely
too grisvous to be borne. But since
we think Of It, this act is not offensive
to men who twenty-five years ago took
mp arms and fought the battles Of the
Union, but it is only offensive to those
msn who, hearing the call to arms in
1862, began 10 make excuses and put
themselves in the rear to speculate up
on the misfortunes Of their country.
But now after the war has ceased end
become q matter of history to eight Out
of every ten voters in the country, these
valiant gentlemen come forward tc
open up the war again, and when any
thing like this strewing Of flowers on
confederate graves by union veterans
takes place these men who are always
bloody minded in time of peace and
carry a white flag in time of war, are
up in arms at such scandalization Of the
union cause.
