LOSSES IN THE CIVIL war
Single Battles More Fatal Than
Al, of Buffers.
SOME OF THE HEAVY CASUAL TIES
Record of Fifty More important
Engagements.


Tho United States, says the New
York Sun, Is much younger nation
than Great Britain, nevertheless it has
had greater experience of real war and
imbibed deeper comprehension of all
it involves thau the nation whose
drum beat is heard around the
wot Id In the "Eutoher's bill'' the
Civil War would swallow up dozen
such wars as that of the Ciimea, or
the Peninsuiar campaigns, with Water
loo thrown in.
The British forces were brought to a
dead standstill by half their numbers,
much as the Union forces were by the
first Bull Run, which, by the way, was
greater battle than anything we
hare yet seen in South Africa. Yet
Bull Run was but small affair COM
pared with at least 80 of the sub
sequent actions of the Civil War.
It is plain now to both North and
South that the Northern power ought
not to have been utterly paralyzed in
the Virginia theatre by the small Bull
Run reverse, nor should it have
suffered defeat at all on that field.
Both were the results of single fault
which We see repeated day after day by
the British in South Africa-the short
comings of leadership. Ii they can
overcome it as the North did the
British may yet win. These are the
only particulars in which there is a
parallel between the American Civil
War and the British Boer campaign.
Correspondents from time 10 time
quote losses of various commands in
the Civil War in specific engagements
in comparison with British losses in
their affairs with the Beers. 1t there.
fore appears to be worth while to tabu.
lats 80 of the more important engage,
ments of the Civil War with the losses
in killed and wounded, only emitting
the missing and prisoners. Numbers
of the missing, however, IN near ly
every battle were killed or wounded,
but not SO reported. Prisoners cap.
tured are omitted because they tell nc
tale of the destructive powers OF either
belligerent. Vast numbers of prisoner:
are sometimes secured at very LITTLE
expense of 6loodshed, as at Harper's

Christiana.
There is every reason to believe that
in short time this city will have a
new wharf on the Christiana River,
near the Delaware, that will prove in
teresting TO the merchants of this city.
This will eventually mean the building
Of line of wharves all the way along
the Christiana River and will develop
into the much talked of river front
which has been the subject for dis
cussion among progressive people in
Wilmington for a number Of years.
The land which will be used for
wharf purposes is about seven acres in
area and belongs to William G. Phillips
of the Philips Thompson Co. When
the dredging is completed there will
be - feet OF water at the wharf. Or
the site will be erected warehouses and
Offices for the use of the company
owning the wharf.
A number of business men in the city
have been asked to take stock in the
concern, and most of the peope ap-
preached have agreed to take an
interest.
The site of the wharf is only six
squares from Third street bridge and
four squares from the South Whining

were then comparatively raw, whereas

Lo, there was Tie battlefield.

No banner TO gleam and wave;

From BABY hood to the grave.
Yet faithful still as a bridge of stars,
She fights in her walled-up town

Then silent, unseen-goes down.

And soldiers to shout and praise.

There were q number of other heavy
engagements which are not included in
this list because of the difficulty in
arriving at an accurate or even approxi-
mate statement of the losses, particu-
larry those on the Confederate side,
for which no official returns are on file
in the War Department. They were
either lost or never made. The Union
losses are generally officially set out in
detail, but in continuing campaign
like that of the even-days' battles
around Richmond, or the operations
before Petersburg. they are oftentimes
all grouped together as of one affair.
Such was the case also 10 the Atlanta
campaign, In which the Confederate
returns are not found at all.
Hence such engagements tsome of
them great battlesl as Glendale, Rich
mond, KY, Rappahannock Station,
Mine Run, kenesaw, Resaca, Peach

Station, first assault on Petersburg,
Deep Bottom. Weldon Railroad,
Chaffin's Farm, final assault on
Petersburg, April I'd. 1865, Sailors
Creek and many others are perforce
losses ran uI into the thousands.
l
wounded for instance, in the first
three days. assault en- Petersburg in
1864 were 10, 20l, or about as many as
the British losses since their war
began. But this is not carried in the
| tables because there are no returns
whatever of Confederate losses, and
no official data from which to make
estimates. So with most of the Others
omitted.
A careful count shows that there
were over 90 engagements during the
American Civil War in each of which
the Union loss in killed and wounded
exceeded that of the British losses in
all engagements in South Africa.
There were IL general engagements
during the war, not including siegs
operations, nor any of the losse:
during the Atlanta campaign, in eact
of which the Union losses IN killed anc
wounded exceeded the total of BRITISH
losses in all their engagements will
the Beers. The same may be said o
Confederate losses in a similar com
psrison.
OF course, it must not be overlooked
that in the greater of these blood,
battles between the Federals and Con
federates larger numbers were usual,
engaged than have yet appeared in an.
. of the South African battles, Never
theless the percentage of killed ant
! wounded Was far in excess of anythin!
. yet shown in South Africa, or any o
the modern wars in Europe.
This is made more clear by com
parison of numbers engaged in some o
, our lesser battles with those of tn
| English with the Beers. At Wilson
