The Compile de Paris's Estimate.
The Comte de Paris. after a careful
Study of all the facts relative to the
damages suffered by the combatants.
arrives at this conclusion:
1.-The losses on both sides were nearly
equal, and enormous for the number
of combatants engaged. for they
amounted to, ~ per cent on the side of
the Federals and rrore than 3e per
cent for the Confederates Upon this
p9oint. also the official reports are pre-
'13.70s wodhded1 and e.s45 prisoners

the 800 men. ki.ed or woundeti In the
cavalry on Ahe I'd and Sd. foot up their
total losses at aeiiftie more than $4,000
men; that dsi to cay. precisely the same
number as those Of their adversaries.
These figures. however. do not yet con-
vey a corgect idsa of the injury the
two armies had inflicted upon each
other in these bloody battles. Thus
while the Federal reports acknowledge
only 2,85i KILLED. the reports made by
the hospitals bear evidence to the burial

be- estfmated at about 1000 1000 or
1,100 having died of their wounds On
the other hand. Meade has 1881 Con-
federate prisoners. but as there are
1852 wounded among them there only
remains $3.50 ab1e-bodfed men. The
number of 7.48< reclsoned 4by-Lee as
the number of men missing must there
fore represent, besides these able-bodied
prisoners, most of the. man sert3usly

Pickett and Heth ARD abendorftd on
