der extraordinary circumstances. The
supposition that many deserted during

am therefore confident that l am over
liberal in the estimate given-4S,750 ef-
fectives-in my official report of the
effective strength of the Army of Ten
nessee, when l assumed command.
However, / will in this instance grant,
for the sake of argument. that my force
on the 18th of July was 50,627 effec-
tives.
On the goth of September, when
stragglers had been gathered up, the
effective strength of the Confederate
army, according to Col. Masons report,
was 40,403. This number subtracted
from 50,627-less 3,100 permanently de-
tached to Macon and Mobile, about the
beginning of the siege-shows loss of
1924. to which should be added 1000
prisoners returned to the ranks by ex-
change, soon after the fall of Atlanta,
and before Col. Mason made up his
return on the Goth of September. These
prisoners were overlooked by myself
and my Chief-of-Staff at the time l
made my official report, and increase
the total loss, from all causes, to 9,124
Whilst DR.. Foard's report of the kill
ed and wounded is correct, the above
estimate Il beyono doubt equally accu-
rate, since / received no reinforcements
during the siege which were not sent
back soon after their arrival, with the
exception of about $50 men of Ghol-
