Wellington! A name, that to the
average reader is symbOlical of grand
achievements, greatness, and the real
izatiOn of well matured plans. That
this appellatiOn should have been Sc
lected by the founders of this now
prosperous city, seems prophetical of a
destiny fraught with growth and eX-
pansiOn.
To those skeptical of what the fu-
ture may cOntain for the city of We'll
lingtOn, we would recall the life of
Lord Wellington, the soldier after
whom it is named. The hero Of many
battles and victories, his success was
not gained in a day, but was the re-
suit of years of planning, combined
with natural advantages. With the re-
sources at his command, he knew that
fortune must crown his efforts, even
though ne encountered set-backs and
defeats. Firm In his convictions,
staunch and true to his trust, he mar
shalled all his resources and at the
last, grasped one grand victory for
which his name will ever live III the
history of the world.
Certainly the events of his career are
in large measure applicable to the
history of prosperous Wellington"
With bOuntiful resources, we find it
starts from a struggling frontier ham
let, growing year by year, advancing
step by step, until the city assumed
almost metropolitan proportions.
Its founders had not planned such a
speedy growth; but an increasing tide
of immigration carried the march Of
progress far ahead Of the ideas of
those pioneers who "builded better
than they knew"
This class of settlers were not the
people that stay by Il town and share
its future destiny. Restless by ma
ture they were ever looking for pas
lures new, and the opening of the Ok
lahOma Strip, together with financial
Nstringency. gave the city of Wellington
her first setback Many left for other
places. but those who knew her nat
ural resources, who had full knowl
edge of the fact that the surrounding
fertile country would forever maintain
a solid city, and who believed that her
future must follow the destiny marked
out by her original founders, remained
to share her fortunes They have their
reward today in that they are part
of solid, growing business commu-
nifty, the future Of which looms up
brilliant, its path lighted by the Star
of Prosperity whose effulgent rays fall
upon this. favored spot.
The city of Wellington has under
gone the crucible test, ard all the at
tendant evils from over-speculation
have been eliminated. With renewed
vigor and concentrated resources, she
has entered upon another period Of ad-
vancement, one that will carry her lar
beyond anything in the past and which
will be on a solid foundation This
progression may not be so rapid. but
each gain will have been obtained for
all time
Therefore it is with satisfaction that
the writer speaks of the Wellington of
today, of the prosperous community,
the cultured happy citizens. the mag
nificent public schools. the churches,

subordinates during the preparatory
period prior to the invasion shows that
he strained every nerve to bring his
army up to the highest possible
strength. He was seconded by Presi
dent Davis, who favored the offensive
movement contemplated. While there
is no return of strength for the month
of June, there are collateral proofs that
Lee marshalled at least 80, 900 men at
Gettysburg. His army was composed
of nine divisions Of infantry and ar
tillery; eight Of these averaged 5000
electives each. Gen. Hood, after the
war, said his division was 1000 strong.
An official return of Rhodes division
at Carlisle, after it had participatedin in
the valley operations before advancing
into Pennsylvania, disclosed an effec-
tive strength Of S,052. only two days
previous to the opening of the battle.
Pickett division was about $500
strong, some Of his troops being abb
sent. Here, on a fair estimate, we
have 69,5O0 infantry and artillery.
The cavalry force Appropriated to
1000 electives, less losses in the
movements. All told, $4,000 men Of
all arms.
There is another instructive meth :
cd of arriving at the approximate
strength of the Confederate army. 1t
was composed Of 200 regiments of in
fantry and cavalry. Analyses of va
rious returns at different periods, COM
parison of losses with reported strength
subsequent to the battle, showed that
these regiments averaged about 375
men each. Many were considerably
stronger, while many others were
weaker. This would give an aggregate
strength Of $4,000 infantry and caval-
ry. Add 5000 artillery, moderate for
nearly 300 guns, and we have an
aggregate again of $4,000 men Of all
arms.
On the goth Of July, 1863, only a
week after Lee recrossed the Potomac
into Virginia, an official return Of
strength showed II, ,692 officers and
men present for duty in the Army Of
Northern Virginia, not including the
cavalry, estimated at G, 6,5O0.men, total
of only As, 1892. Deducting this num-
Der from the $4,000 men Gen. Lee
marched into Pennsylvania, leaves a
difference of 81 ,8OS men to be account
ed for. They were lost at Gettysburg
and the campaign which ended with
the recrossing of the Confederate army
into Virginia.

It has also been observed that the
published reports of casualties are, in
some instances, accompanied by a
statement of the men taken in action.
The commanding general deems it un-
necessary to do more than direct the
attention Of officers to the impro-
priety Of thus furnishing the enc
my with the means Of computing our
strength in order to insure the lmme-
diate suppression Of this perniclous
and useless custom.
By command of Gen. Lee.
W. H. TAYLOR,
Assistant Adjutant General.
This queer order was issued few
DAYS after the battle Of Chancellors-
Vile. Gettysburg, six weeks later,
was the first general engagement to
which it applied, and it may be taken
for granted that Gen. Lee order was
carefully obeyed by all subordinate
commanders and the reported losses
reduced to the minimum. The ellml-
nation Of this class Of wounded makes
difference in itself Of probably more
than $500 casualties such as were
carried in the Union reports. The
addition of the names omitted as re-
suit Of this order to the official re-
ports Of the three corps commanders,
incidentally giving their losses in the
aggregate, will run the Confederate to-
tails up to nearly $1,000 killed, wound
ed and missing. Their reports in the
official records, and also published in
the Southern Historical Society's Pa
pers, southern Magazine accepted as
authoritative by all the orthodox
Confederates, give aggregates as fol-
lows:

Total losses in campaign............."24,247 247
Therefore, if we add, say $500
slightly wounded, omitted from the
Confederate reports by Lee s orders,
which would then make it fair COM
parison with the Union reports OF the
same battle, we have an aggregate sum
of 26, ,749 as the Confederate losses in
the Gettysburg campaign, made up
from figures Of the Confederates them
selves, excepting the two items of cav
airy losses and slightly wounded. The
cavalry losses we're probably double
the figures I give, which apply to op.
erations north of the Potomac only.
This tabulation Of itself is proof that
the losses Of the Confederates greatly
exceeded those Of the Union army
even if we admit the slightly wounded.
The Confederate reports, for sub
stantial reason, are untrustworthy,
even when any were made, because, as
they abandoned the field and largely
their killed and mortally wounded, it
goes without saving that they lacked
accurate knowledge of their actual
losses in those two items. Careful in
vestigation, however, Of the available
official data and other sources of in
formation has determined the fact that
their killed amounted to 3,S03, instead
of 1883, as reported by DR.. Guild, and
18, 741 wounded, instead Of 1859, as
stated by Guild. DR.. Guilds shortage
comes doubtless, from the fact that he
took 10 account of the killed and wound
ed abandoned to the enemy on the third
day after Pickett's and johnson S
charges. AS previously stated, the
Union rolls show the names of II, 227
prisoners captured at Gettysburg,
wounded and unwounded. Of these
6,SO2 were wounded, and are conse-
quently to be added to the aggregate
Of wounded as made up by DR.. Guild,
less no wounded whom they officially
reported captured. This deduction
leaves 5, 1875 we'll prisoners captured
by the Federals. which pretty well
agrees with the Confederate report Of
5, $50 missing, as it appears in the war
record summary. Now, these are
practically all official figures, collected
from every source, and deduced by
comparing the reports Of the op-
posing armies. Hence the Confederate
losses are thus summed up in round
numbers:
Killed 3,so3
