The tremendous aggregates in these
actions must be increased by the Con,
federate losses. in order to show the
true desperation of the fighting. Here
we find Shiloh with 1,7S3 killed S, 012
wounded, and $50 missing; Second
Manassas, &C., 1,4S1 killed, 7,627
wounded. and 50 missing: the Ante

Chickamauga. 2,312 killed, 1867
wounded, and 1,l6S missing; Peach
Tree Creek and Atlanta, 1,341 killed
and $500 wounded. II these Confed-
crate reckonings the wounded include
also the mortally wounded, making
the death roll still higher.
From these battles we might go on
to others, only less tremendous: and
indeed there were 112 battles in our
four years war, in which one side or
the other lost over 500 in killed and
wounded alone. Some of the minor
battles were We're most deadly in THEN
intensity. Such are the comparisons
with the half year of hostilities in
Corea.
1t is true that the battles here cited
from our annals were fought with fan
greater forces on each side than those
of the Corean war; but in any case
there is no comparison for desperation
and bloodinessin theaverage fighting.
Col. Fox gives a list of twelve Union
regiments that IN single battle had
from soto SO per cent. Killed or wound.
ed, and of over sixty regiments that
lost that percentage by adding the mis-
sing-in cases where the latter were also
mostly if not killed or wounded.
The Fifteenth New Jersey took 43z
officers and men into action at Spots
ylvania OF whom 116 We're killed Or
died of their wounds. The Twenty
fifth Massachusetts, lost SO killed, 139
wounded and 2S missing at Cold Har'
Dor, out of 80 reported for duty that
morning. Other instances could be
cited both on the Union and the Con
federate side.
On the other hand, the latest state,
ment is that up to December 6, which
includes Ping Yang, the japanese
army had in all only lost $50 men
killed in battle and 430 by disease. Mr..
kirkley, the well-known statistician
puts the Union deaths from battle dur
ing the four years of the civil war at
67,05S in action and 43,012 from
wounds, a total of 10, 070.
To make closer parallels IN the for
ces engaged, we find the Second Corps
losing at Antietam SS3 killed, 1858
wounded. and 396 missing, out OF Is,
900 electives; at Gettysburg, 796 killed,
3,S16 wounded, and 36S missing, out
Of about Is, 600 present for duty and
1O,5O0 engaged. The Fifth Corps,
with 25, ,695 present for duty, lost 4S7
killed, 2,Sl7 wounded, and 1,S2s miss,
ing at the Wilderness, and then, within
week, at Spottsylvania, 657 killed,
3, ,44S wounded, and 375 missing. The
Sixth Corps lost, out of "a, 163 present
for duty and equipped, 7l9 killed, 3, 66C
wounded, and 656 missing at the vii
sderness. and 6SS killed, 2,S20 wound
ed. and 534 missing at Spottsylvania
When we consider the populations
of Japan and China especially the lat
ter, the armies put into the field seem
small, even allowing for the lack OF
railroads in China and for the trans
portation by water needed by Japan;
The latter, however, must be credited
with furnishing all the troops she re
quires for her purposes, and also with
fighting hard enough always to oea1
the Chinese; but it is seen how the re
sulting battles in severity of lighting
fall far short of the great shocks Of

A Horrible Find.
BRINKLEY, Jan. 23.-Two hunters
and 'trappers have come in from Cache
river bottoms, southwest of this city
and report the finding, last week, Of
two dead men IN a cavern on White
river. They were out arranging to sci
bear trap when one of them, by an
accident, noticed a queer opening II
the bank, and upon investigation they
found that it was quite a large anc
deep cave. They struck light to ex-
anime the interior, when, to their hor
ror, they discovered the bodies Of two
dead men. This served to check then
explorations, and they quickly left the
place without stopping to look furthe7
into the mysteries Of the cave. The
dead men were evidently white, anc
had been dead several days, as decona
position had set in. On the outside O
the cave an old envelope was lc'lnd
containing sheet of blank paper ans
bearing the name and address as fol
lows: James D. Carroll, 3,122 Stat'
| street, Chicago. Ills" The hunters hat
been temporarily camping for fou
days near the cave, but knew nothing
OF it or its ghastly contents.
