Kegarded from one point of Tlew tbe one
regiment, in all tbe Union atrult, whleh
anttained tbe greatest leaa In battle during

Proceeding further it will appear thai the
heaviest less In battle et any regimental
organization occurred In tba 1st Mlna
Heavy Artillery, of liirney'a Division,
Seoend Cerps. "During lta term of service
it lest twrnty three officers and 4C0 enlisted

But tbe lit Maine Heavy Artillery did net
take tbe field until May, 18S4, and lta
flgtitleg and all Its losses occurred within a
period of ten months. Anether heavy
artillery regiment, tbe 8h Near Yerk, of
aibben'a Division, Second Cerp, austsiecd

The cteaeat parallel between F.urepean
and American tmiles occurs intboia'.iatlea
of Waterloo and Gettysburg. Of tbeae
Colonel Fex says: "At Waterloo tbe
French numeered 80.000 men and 252 guns;
tbe Allies nnmberei 72,000 snd 160 guns.
At Gettysburg, tbeUoleu army numbered
2 0C0 men and 300 guns) tbe UenfeJeratea,

that of Ceafederata bnl lata. Tne deaths by
dlsaaae numbered 199,710, and tbaaa de net

whlett reached 24,800. There are many
curlens an4 puxilleg facta about theae

While throughout tba wbele army tba
deatba from dlaaas were double thees from
ballets, tbe bard fighting regtmenta seldom
leet even a Ilka number. One-filth of tba
death from dlsaaae occurred In regiments
that never were la battle." Evidently
comfortable quarters, geed feed, and Im
munity from exposure did net Innnre
health. Again "certain regiments tuflerad
from tbe d suae, nnaoeountably, mere
than ethers. The Vermont brigade, while
encamped In Vlrglule, In 1801, lest aoeren
of men by dlaeaac, while tba regiments in
adjoining eampa were entirely exempt;
and yet teeae Vennontera excelled In
physique, ctraallness and Intelligence.!
Berne restricted local cause, one wcull
tblnk, most have operated In thla eaas; bat
there are msny mytterles In theae records.
During the war no leaa than 4,838 deaths by
drowning occurred. Tbla seniS an un
accountable number, but Colonel Fex
point out tbat, alter all, tbeaveiaje Is three
men te a regiment Tbe leaa waa largely
oeaasloned by bathing and beating, bnt
considerable inacea wero Incurred In ford
ing rlvera and lending through aurf from
beats. Then the 75 'h Pennsylvania leat
twecfficeiaand fifty one men while cross

Tbe losses In tbe Confederate and Uolen
Briscoe offer some atrange perplexities,
ere geed and bait treatment appear tebave
produeedebiut tbesamn rnaulta. In the
Confederate pr.'a ins 24 603 Union prisoners
died of disease. ' In the Northern prisons,
where tbe Inmates were Inrnla'ied with
geed feed and quarters, the death rata waa
nearly the aame ; 30.152 Confederates died
In Northern prisons." Colonel Fex's sev
enth ehspter, which tresis of tbe mutter mutter
ent rolls, Is pirtlcuurly rich In auggestlve
facta; aueb, for Insiauce, at tbe fae. that It
was by no means uncommon fcr women net

Meeting Mr. Rlddle, chairman of tLe

he recommended tbe renewal of the con
tract with Eagle for stone for tbe streets,
when tbe stone furnished last year by blm
were ae peer. He admitted tbat they had
been ae ; bat said tbat he bad been Informed
that Engle had geed atone, and tbat tbey
propeaed te get such In future. He said
tbat he thought tbe bad condition of tbe
streets was largely due te the fine stutl
from tbe breaker, wblcb was uted aa a
topdresaleg, and tetbe hatte with wbleb
tbe atreeta bad been prepared and rolled by
tbe street oemmlaaloner, of whom be said
that as be had been last year appointed by
tbe mayor, be held him te be bts boss,"
and refuted te obey tbe street committee.
Mr, Riddle said tbat be bad bean told tbat

and tbat be bad alto been told tbat Ibe

tbla was one et tbe beat iquares In tbe city.
Uponenr persisting tbat tbe stone In Ea-

for use, be premlaei te examine tbe qaatry
and te take tbe opinion of atone xpsrts at
te Its quality for attest work before com
pleting tbe oentrac', as be prefeattd a great

W'e understand that he yester

that many persons were drowned.
Dltpttchea reeelved In Aueklaad from

Trenten, Vandalla and Nlptlc, and tba
German men-of-war Adler, Olga and Eber
were driven en a rear daring a violent

Of tba American ere we four ofneers and

Oae by one tbe steamers were pounded

Tbe cries ler relief wera drowned In the

Many 01 them wereoempeiled te relinquish
