The population of the twenty-three loyal States, which during the war constituted the United States, was 22,- 046,472. This includes Missouri, Kentucky, and Mary- land, which furnished soldiers for the armies on both sides, and which had a population of 3,025,745 ; and also Califor- nia and Oregon, on the Pacific, which, because of their dis- tance from the scene of conflict, contributed comparatively but few men, leaving the population from which the soldiers were mainly taken at 18,588,268. This makes the number of men obtained for the service of the government equal to fourteen and a half per cent. of the whole population.

The total number of deaths in the Regular Army being 5,724, between the 15th of April, 1861, and the 30th of June, 1865, a period of four years, two months and a half, would give an annual average of 1,360 deaths, or an annual death-rate of 59 per 1,000 of strength, which, divided be- tween violent deaths, and those from disease, would give an annual ratio of 27 violent deaths, and 32 deaths from dis- ease, per 1,000 of strength.

The total number of deaths of this class was 265,265, deducting 4,553 who died subsequent to June 30, 1865, and it leaves a total of 260,712 deaths from the outbreak of the war to that time, a ratio of 65,178 deaths annually, or 88 per 1,000 of average mean strength. Subdividing this ratio between violent deaths, and deaths from disease, in accordance to the proportion of these classes already in- dicated, and we shall have an annual ratio of 33 violent deaths, and 55 deaths from disease per 1,000 of average mean strength.

Disease thus carried off twice as many victims as violence ; or in other words, of every three deaths from known causes, but one was due to violence. This ratio, however, is a very favorable one in a sanitary historical point of view. The black troops lost almost three times as heavily by disease as the whites ; the white regulars somewhat less so than the white volunteers.
According to the elaborate tables of the Surgeon-general, among the leading causes of mortality is placed, first, the several forms of dysentery, etc., next come the various types of camp-fever, reported under such heads as typhoid, typhus, remittent, common continued, and typho-malarial fevers. The next most important cause of death was pneumonia, following which are ranged small-pox, varioloid, measles, and consumption.
The largest number of discharges for disability was among the white troops, in consequence of consumption ; among the colored troops, in consequence of rheumatism.

MISCELLANEOUS.
The number of rebel troops finally surrendered, was in round numbers 175,000. The number of prisoners in the hands of the National authorities during the last year of the war was 98,802. These were all sent to their homes by the United States. The theatre of the war was in the re- bellious States. Their cities were besieged and captured, their territory desolated, and their people suffered all the evils of war at their own homes.
These appalling statistics, so far as we can really appre- ciate them, show us at what cost of human life the rebellion was put down. It seems sad enough to contemplate this vast number taken from the ranks of the strong, the young, those whose life was most valuable, and to the industries of the country most essential. Yet this is but the unchanged tale of woe that every war brings to the ears of mankind.
Grouping with these figures which represent our losses during our great struggle those that show the expense in men and money of other prominent wars, we can better realize what warfare has cost the world.
