Individual ships sustained heavy losses such as Port Hudson, where the U. s. S. Mississippi was set afire by the enemy's shells and about fifty were drowned. The sinking of the monitor Tecumseh by torpedo in the attack on Mobile accounts for ninety drowned In the first attack on Fort Fisher three guns burst on ships of the Union fleet resulting in the death Of fifteen and wounded of twenty-three, which materially reduces the casualties caused by the enemy's fire during the two days.
 There were many smaller engagements and incidents in which the losses were approximately far greater than in the battles above enumerated. and which go to swell the total up to 2272 violent deaths The raid of the Confederate ironclads upon the Union blockading fleet off Charleston January 31, 1S63 resulted in .twenty-seven killed and thirteen wounded An explosion of a magazine at Galveston January l, 1863, killed eighteen and wounded thirty-three. A steamer, Cham pton No. 3, getting too close to a Con- federate battery up Red River. received a shot through her boiler, and Al out of 150 of the crew and contrabands on. board were scalded to death. By accidental ex- plosion of boiler on the Tulip, November H. 1864, there was loss of forty-nine killed. On the other hand the victory of the Monitor over the Merrimac, on March g, 1862, was gained with but three casualties, all wounded and recovered: When the Monitor foundered off Cape Hatteras, De- cember 30, 1862, fourteen lives were lost. and the monitor Weehawken sinking at her anchorage in Charleston roads, De- cember 6, 1863, carried down thirty-six olfi- cers and crew. The engagement between the Kearsarge and Alabama, June 19, 1864 resulted in three casualties on our side, one of them mortally wounded
 Every bullet has it's billet.' and many tons of iron and lead fly wide of their mark. One man out of 206 was shot and killed during the last war, but other incidental dangers are as much to be dreaded. Whatever may be in store for the blue jackets in the matter of shot, shell. torDedoes and other war instru- ments, they may take consolation in the fact that life on board ship is now far more comfortable and less conducive to sickness than 1t was in the early sixties, and that while great advances have been made toward killing men. there have also been vast Improvements in the practice of medicine and surgery, for the want of which many lives, no doubt, were sacr feed in our late war.

A JAPANESE RAILROAD MAN.
M: Kotona Comes to the United States
 to Study the Roads

M. Kodona is a Japanese railroad man, who is registered at the"Occidental from Yokohama, whence he arrived yesterday on the. Gaelic with his wife.
 ;: MT. Kodona comes to America in a semi official position. He will remain. some time in the. country, travelling through all the principal States and visiting most of the large cities with. the object of ac- quaintihg himself, as far as possible, with various: railroad inventions and improve ments that may be utilized by the syndi- cate which lie represents:
 :: MT. Kodona says that the Japanese are just. beginning to realize that railroad manufactures can be purchased much more cheaply in America than in England and; consequently, the tide of Oriental trade is beginning to set this way instead of toward the British Isles as formerly. He does not know. exactly how long. he will remain in the. United States but 1t will probably be several months before. he succeeds in collecting enough data to fur nish such a report ais is-people expect.
