From the Other Side.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Some interesting disclosures have recently been made by
the Army and Navy Journal concerning the nation
aes represented the Union army during the between
the States.
Out Of an enrolment Of 100000 officers and APP
that one-fourth of this number of foreign b-h
distributed among the various nationaes follows: Ger
many England, 10000; British America 10000
Ireland 10000 and other countries $4,000 making all
500 foreigners enlisted on the Union side
In view OF this showing is any wonder that the result
Of the inevitable? The marvel Of it all that the
South, with only 600 900 enlisted during the entire
service succeeded in keeping such army bay four
long Today the records OF the government will show
thar the Federal pension rolls there Union vet
enrolled than there soldiers in the Con-
federate ranks and still there who get on
Ihij made without any feeling bitterness
We all rejoice the and that peace has come
back again but since the South lost in the struggle il is
something of junction the wounded pride OF the old
veterans who the gray to know just how it was.
But The amy and Navy Journal goes to give some
additional statistics which will probably interest ,rs
and which suggest nvdious comparisons Fortyei
OF the soldiers in the Union army farmers -
per mechanics, 10 per aborers per
professional and per were miscepa.
There just thought which to us in this con-
uecon, If IS cent OF the soldiers who composed the
rank and file OF the Union army farmers sprobabe
that the figures approximately of the Con-
edeate army, and this being taken for granted it follows
that the country is indebted the farmers greater meas
of have been inclined suppose and that
besides being manoay and support times of peace
they have also been protection in time of war Let us
bear this fact in mind when tempted forget them
Another interesting fact brought by this same au-
hory is that the height of Union soldier WA
feet inches. Unfortunately have no way of getting
statistics in regard the Confederate army We
never had time to take them.

GROWTH OF THE UNITED STATES.

According to Sir Robert Griheu, the we'll known
English satstician the increase of the United States
in population during the century just ended has been
greater than that OF any other country in the world
In 1900 the population Of the Unted States $780,
600: in 1909 il had grown TO be 20 900 900
Compare the increase of the United States to the
increase of other countries france increased from

empire from $4,000 900 to 550O00oO

Europe seems to be initiating all Of the Industrial
and political vices of the new world They are having
quite as much trouble about the tariff in Europe as we
have had in the past and seem about to have in tn,

feated The machine is said to have been in every
particular up to the American model 1t was corrupt

frauds TO perpetuate it in power It put through all

A considerable portion OF the press of Northern
Italy was in favor of not allowing the Neapolitans 70
elect their own city government but the kings talk

royal commission took the opposite view and deter
mined to leave the question the reform OF Naples &c
the people of Naples The result has justified the wis
dom of the commission and shows what the peopl,
anywhere can do. they are thoroughly aroused
The Camorra with which the ring government had al
lied itself was y patriotic society organized to
revolt against the atrocities of The Neapoltau Bour
bons. But with success and the lapse of time it has
degenerated into gang which exists solely for plum
