foolish charge bravely and won Immortality

wounded. In the civil war 262 men in the
First Minnesota volunteers charged whole
division at Gettysburg. and leaving 215 dead
and wounded behind brought away the
rebel colors. whild the light brigade lost 81
per cent and accomplished nothing, except
to immortalze blunder. The First Min
nesota lost 50 per cent and gained vitally
important point, besides bringing back with
them the rebel colors. The Maine Heaves'
lost Is per cent in a seven minutes charge
at Petersburg Two German regiments lost
respectively 46 and 40 per cent at Metz and
Marsha Tour and the Twenty-sixth Rus
sian lost 75 per cent at Plevna. But there
were Is Union and Confederate regiments
that lost over 50 per cent. The First Texas
lost more than 50 per cent at Antietam. and
in one company Of the Twenty-sixth North
Carolina only three men escaped out Of 81
a loss of more than 96 per cent. This
hideous carnage was the result not of our
