theless the percentage of killed
and wounded was far in excess of
any thing yet shown In South
Africa, or any of the modern
wars in Europe.
This Is made more clear by a
comparison of numbers engaged
in some of our lesser battles with
those of the English with the Bo
ers. At Wilson's Creek. in Mis-
souri,, fought the first year of the
war, no more than 5000 to 5000
Federals were engaged against
10000 Confederates. Compare
the boody losses at Wilson's Creek
with those of Methuen at Modder
rive. Yet these American troops
we're then comparatively raw.
whereas Methueu's army were
mainl y regulars.
At the first Bull Run not more
than $4,000 men were engaged on
either side, and most all were
green volunteers, yet the losses
on either side were about double
those Of Butler uf Colenso Dece m
ber 10, when an equal number
apparently were engaged or on
the field.
Bat let ns suppose something
had happened to Butler like the
Confederate repulse in the first
of the seven days battle at Ma
chanicsville, where about 1000
Of them went up against a forti-
fed line worse than Spion kop,
held by about 5000 Union sol.
diers. when nearly $500 Of them
we're killed and wounded in an
hour or two. The whole British
nation must have fallen down in
a fit. But the COnfederatps didn't
draw off a; they stuck TO their Job
and the next day got even at
Games Mill.

When Compared With the War
Between The States.
LOSSES IN FIFTY GREAT
BATTLES.
'sThe Whole British Nation Must
Have Fallen in a Fit" Had it

New York Sun, is much younger

wolves than the nation whose
"drum beat is heard around the
world" In the "butcher's bill"
the civil war would swallow up a
dozen such wars as that of the
Crimea. or the Peninsular cam.
paigns, with Waterloo thrown in.
The British forces were brought
to a dead standstlll by half their
numbers, much as the Union
forces were by the first Bull Run,
which, by the way, was a greater
"battle" than anything we have
yet seen in South Africa. Yet
Bull Run was but a small affair
compared with at least 30 of the
subsequent actions of the civil
war.
1t is plain now to both north
and south that northern power
ought not to have been utterly
paralyzed in the Virginia theatre
by the small Bull Run reverse,
nor should it have suffered de
feat at all on that field. Both
we're the results of a single fault
which we see repeated day after
day by the British in South Afri
ca-the shortcomings of leader
ship. If they can overcome it as
the north did the British may yet
win. These are the only particu
lars in which there is a parallel
between the American civil war
and the Boer- British campaign.
Correspondents from time to
time quote losses of various com
mands in the civil war in specific
engagements in comparison with
British losses in their affairs with
the Beers. 1t therefore appears TO
be worth while to tabulate 50 of
the more important engagements
of the civil war with the losses in
killed and wounded, only omit

Taxahaw is up to date in al
most everything that may go to
make a prosperous town. When
we speak of young people we find
that Taxahaw has as many nice
young men as any place of it's
size. They are recognized in the
highest ranks of society from all
'quartery of the globe" Some
go to see Tabernac,e's fair daugh
ters, some to Flat Creek, some to
Tradesville and to many other
points, likewise the young ladies
of this place attract the young
dudes from many different places,
but especially from the Flat Greek
section and White Bluff. l hope
the young ladies will not blush
when they read this ss those
young men are too nice to blush
about.

FREE HOMESTEADS.

Lest people in Beltrami county
