Strength of the Hosts.
How many men there were engaged
on either side at Gettysburg will never
be known. The very best information
is only a good guess. with one mans
guess not much better than anothcr's.
We only know that Lees army with
which he fought Charlottesville had
been greatly reinforced by the arrival
of Longstreet with two strong divisions
and by the relentless operations of the
Consumption act. Every man who could
possibly be gathered in had been sent
to Lee. with Richmond and the sea-
coast places stripped almost to naked
ness in order to strengthen him for the
crushing blow which it was hoped would
end the war. Lees force is commonly
stated at $4,000 infantry. besides his
cavalry and artillery. Everything points
to this being an understatement. since
Lee would certainly not have taken the
offensive with an army manifestly in
fcrior in strength to that of the enemy.
Nor would the Confederate authorities
have allowed it; too much was centered
upon Lees success for them to take
any chances of failure. Maj. e.. C..
Dawes, who devoted many years to a
ST udy of all the available statistics. ar
rived at the conclusion that the Army
of Northern Virginia, by its returns of

400. of which 5000 did not reach tfie
field in time to take part in the battle.
Probably this is an oyerstatcment. and
certainly it is as to the strength of
Stuart's Cavalry, which could not haye
been much over 10000. We must keep
in mind all the time that both Lees and
Mcade's armies had been on a desperate
rush. under a broiling hot hun, for over
100 miles, and both must have suffered
much from struggling, breakdOWns and
prostratiOns. But one af the Confeder-
ate commanders gives an official state
ment of his strength on the eve of bat
tie. This is Rodes, who said that in his
five brigadcs he had S,042 electives. If
this is accurate he had lost about 400
men since he had started from Freder-
icksburg. while most Of the other divi-
sion commanders report their strength.

division was the smallest in the :frYify5;

onc-third were barefooted. If we call
Rodes's Division the strongestsldn2
Johnson's the weakest. and strike an;
average for the whole nine divisions, we
shall get $1,000 infantry strength, which
is probably somewhat under the truth.
With the cavalry and artillery this
would make Lees army about $4,000
strong. The editors OF the Century Bat

available reports. arrive at the conclu-
sion that Lee had a maximum of II, 51S,

ers and casualties in the various en-
counters between June / and June 80,
