LOSSES.
Of the Union Army In Various
Epia0dea Of the Rebellion.

Casualties OF the Uaion Army In Various
Episodes Of the Rebellion.
Editor National Tribune: wish to
ask you q few questions, IL you will be
SO kind as to answer them.
l. How many men were killed or died
of wounds or disease during the war
of the rebellion?
2. How many men did Sherman lose,
killed. wounded or from sickness. be-
tween Chattanooga and Atlanta?
3. How many did Grant lose in the
Wilderness?
4. What was our loss at Shiloh?
S. What were our losses at Spottsyl-
yania and Gettysburg III. Weaver,
Napa, Cal.
l. There are various estimates as to
the number OF Union soldiers killed
and died of wounds. The official fig
and died of wounds 110,070. This is
felt to be considerably below the truth,
and 1t has been estimate that the total
will reach from 1885, 900 to 100000. 1t
is the same with deaths from disease.
The official figures give 1920 deaths
from disease, but this is also short of
the reality, since an unknown number
of thousands Of men were discharged
and died at home, and other thousands
died in prison, of whom no report is
made.
2. Gen. Sherman gives his losses dur
wounded, 1882; missing. 4,442: total,
1857. He does not give the number
Of deaths from disease.
3. There Is the widest discrepancy in
the figures as to the extent Of Grants
loss in the Wilderness battle. Phisterer
gives 2.309 killed, 12,1S5 wounded and
1898 missing, making total Of 1887.
This was for the engagements Of May
ST.
4. Gen. Grant gives the loss in the
two days fight at Shiloh at 1,754 killed,
8.408 wounded and 2,8S5 missing. OF
these 2,103 were in the Army of the
Ohio, and the remainder in the Army
Of the Tennessee.
s. Phisterer gives the loss at Spotsyl-
vania, May 8-18. at 2,O31 killed, 1856
wounded and 2,577 missing. making a
total of 1864.
The official figures Of Gettysburg give
1884 killed, 1909 wounded and 6,643
missing; total, 1886. These figures,
however, are liable to much question

ed by Mr.. PaulSen why he had done
so, he became angry. He was ordered

II he did not do so he would lose his
days wages. This angered Petit. and
he refused to replace the trough
We'll, you had better quit right now.
If that is the case" was Mr. Paulsen's

the other side of his wagon. rushed at
his employer, and dealt a powerful
blow with the heavy shovel When
Mr.. Paulsen fell, it is alleged that

HANCOCK COUNTY
PAYS RESPECTS
Republicans in Convention Pass Reso.
lutions for 6enjecnin 2.
Marsh.

Hancock county republicans at their
recent convention passed resolutions
OF respect for the Hon. BENJAMIN f
Marsh, late of Warsaw, and have sent
them to the press of the district. They
are as follows:
| whereas, By the death of the Honor
able Benjamin F. Marsh. the Four
teenth congressional district of Illinois
mas lost its hOnOred representative and
the nation one of its ablest and most
efficient congressman; and.
Whereas. Benjamin F. Marsh was a
native born son of Hancock county. a
life long resident and tiller of its soil.
the friend of all its citizens and com
rade of many of its bravest men, the
faithful servant of its people and pa
tient plodder in its progress; and,
Whereas, By virtue of the manlike
qualities inherent within his rugged
nature-whether a soldier on the field
of battle as a target of rebel bullets. a
statesman in the halls of congress en-
gagged upon the councils of his country
or farmer following the peaceful pur-
suits of a rural Iife-he was at all
times leader among his fellow men,
rejecting honor alike upon himself
and upon the people whom he served;
therefore. be it
Resolved, By the republicans of Han
cock county in convention assembled,
that We sincerely mourn and deplore
of the death of our friend and neighbor.
and It is the sense of THIS convention
that in the passing of Benjamin F.
Marsh the state has lost one of its
most prominent sons and the nation
one of its most heroic defenders in
times of war. one of the most loyal
and valuable citizens in times of
peace. and one of its most patriotic and
high-minded statesmen.
Resolved, further. That the secretary
of this convention be and hereby is di-
rected 10 publish these resolutions in
the newspapers of this congressional
district and TO cause a copy of the
same 10 be sent 10 the family of the
late Benjamin F. Marsh

BLAME is PLACED
MagiIl Was Approached for Rea.
sonabIe Consideration
in Convention.
PLAYS MORE POOR POLITICS
Satisfying His Ambition Congressman
Is Probably Standardization
Will Be Heard From.

1t now appears that the blunder in
the selection of congressional dele
gates in the republican county conven-
| ton is laid at the door of L. NJ. MagiIl
whose short-sightedness is becoming a
by-word among the politicians. II is
said that he was approached on the
subject of consulting with the Rock
Island steering committee. and the re-
suit is well known as to what they re-
ceived. Instead of the usual commit
tee of nine equally distributed among
cities and country, upon MagilTs mo-
| ton three were appointed to return
the prepared list
Not First OHensc.
This is not the first poor politics for
Rock Island county that Mr.. Magiu
has played If Henderson county had
been given the Office of representative
which was demanded and received by
Larry Magill, there would at present
be different phase on the congress
siOnal situation. Larry is q mighty
good friend of Larry. and the whole
county must suffer for his mistakes.
Others who may want something are
not TO be thought of where he is con-
cerned, and for this reason at a time
when Rock Island republicans have
reason 10 expect the congressional
nominee. there is little show even for
the nomination of his friend. Frank G..
Allen, whom he processes to love so
well.
Might Have Been Remedied.
1t was not too late to remedy the
difficulty last year and allow little
Henderson the representative. while
Rock Island has the senator and Mer-
Ger the other member of the lower
house; but it was very necessary. for
Larry, that he should again receive the
nomination, regardless of the ambi-
tions of his friends to go to congress.
In fact, ii was so necessary it called
for another short-sighted piece of work
in Mr.. Magill in trying to straddle both
the Yates and Lowden conventions,
and almost lost the job to himself. 1t
was not enough that he should be
made assistant states attorney, but he
should also be representative.
VIII BE Heard From.
What the outcome of this recent
action will be can not yet be told. but
it is safe to say that his move in the
selection of delegates will be heard
from in retardinE the party in this
county at some future date as his
.ill-cOnsidercd politics have done in the
past
