"aTANY or THEM NEVER SAW 4 BAT,
TIE"

MANY OF THEM NEVER SAW 4 BAT
TIE"
Many Of them never saw battle" con-
tinually reitera'e the pension-haters when
speaking Of the pension list In the first
place, the number Of men who never saw a
battle is grossly exaggerated. There never
was an army put in the field in which the
/ fighting was 50 well distributed among all
the men as in the Union army during the
war Of the rebellion. The extent to which
/ practically everybody was brought into
action at one time or another, and the amount
Of fighting which the men did as body, are
unprecedented in European history. In all
there were over 1000 more or less severe
engagements, and many Of these were the
bloodicst in military history. 1--we assume
that there were 100000 men in the Union
army this would make battle for every
600 men.
IN the next place, fthere were regiments
which never saw a battle, whose fault was
it? Certainly not Of The men. They en-
listed 10 do their duty and 20 where ordered.
II they did not get into f ght it was simply
the fortune Of war. They were there 10 fight
if called upon, and there is not any instance
Of any regiment failing 10 20 into action
and do its whole duty when called upon.
We have repeatedly published statistics
showing that some Of the most determined
fighting and the most terrible losses Of the
war were by the regiments which went out
late, and happened 10 be hurried directly
from the camps in which they were organ
lied to the very front When there they
allowed no regiment to surpass them in gal
laniry and determination.
Lastly, everyone knows that the greatest
death loss in any army is not by the bullets
Of The enemy, but the sickness which results
from the hardships and exposures Of camp
life. No regiment in the Union army cs-
capped these. livery regiment was virtually
in the presence Of the enemy, and whether
il was actually engaged it was compelled 10
make long and toilsome marches, 10 stand
weary yigils in all sorts Of weather, 10 en-
duFe the anxieties and hardships Of being in
The presence Of the enemy, and be subjected
TO influences Of hostile climate and dis.
ease breeding conditions. 4 conspicuous
example Of this is the 9th Conn, which was
sent 20 Louisiana, where it was constantly
On duty constantly in the presence Of The
enemy, constantly ready to fight, and TO do
its duty or the battlefield as well as Con-
nec'icut regiments always did, and yet it
lost only 10 mon by the bullets Of the enc
my, while 2i3 Of its members lost their
lives 10y the poison OF the malarious low
lands in which the regiment was kent.
