Loss of Horses In War.

Deaths due to wounds received In
battle constitute but an insignificant
part of the losses of cavalry horses in
war. It was only after war ex.
perience of two years that a cavalry
bureau was established in 1868. This
resulted in economy and increased
efficiency, for an enormous number OF
horses, temporarily disabled through
excessive marching and lack of forage,
were turned in at the general depots
and recuperated sufficiently to be
again issued. The number turned in
was but fraction of the whole mum.
Der issued, owing to the difficulty of re-
turning worn-out horses from distant
and isolated points.
Some idea of the dimensions of the
remount business may be had from tho
statement that 1SS.71S horses were
purchased during the fiscal year end.
ing June 80, 1864. During the first
eight months of that year the cavalry
of the Army of the Potomac was sup.
piled with two complete remounts,
which required 10000 horses. The to-
tai number OF mules and horses re-
CURED to keep up the supply for all
armies was 500 each day, and the data
collected showed that for every two
men Of the whole force employed one
animal was required in the ranks or
trains. The recent experience of the

that the loss Of animals in the civil
war was not exceptional, and that

FESTIVE, and then rebellious. One dark
night he slipped out of camp and new

made his way to Pennsylvania, and

Barry, in a regiment on its way to

Appomattox Apple Tree.

Gordon is misquoted or Is mistaken
The famous apple tree was across the
Appomattox from the courthouse and
inside of Lees lines. The Confeder-
ate skirmish line was parallel to the
Appomattox and between the court
house and the stream, and that skir-
mish line was maintained until the
Confederate commands moved out en-
route for their homes after the sur

Now, the truth Is. Grant was not
within the Confederate lines at Ap-
pomaitox. He came through the Union
skirmish and battle lines from our
rear, and at no time was he beyond
the Mclean house, which was be-
tween the lines of battle, although our
line after the surrender was advanced
beyond Il. The apple tree was on
April o. 1865, not where Grant and
Lee could meet.
