izens, or others known to have been guilty of giving assistance and encouragement to the enemy. He also further ordered Dec. 12, 1861. wealthy secessionists to contribute for the support of these refugees, and that all who should not voluntarily do so should be subjected to a levy, either in money, food, clothing, or quarters, to the amount of ten thousand dollars each. This order was rigidly enforced, and many wealthy citizens were made to pay liberal sums. One prominent merchant, named Engel, who ventured to resist the order by appealing to the civil courts, was ordered out of the Department. This was the last appeal of that kind. Determined to put a stop to the continual outflowing of information to the Confederates from within his lines, Halleck issued some very stringent orders. The earliest of these was Order No. 3, Nov. 20. which forbade fugitives entering or remaining within his lines, it having been represented to him that they conveyed contraband information out of

e include 6,210 who were mortally wounded, but died within 24 hours. The deaths from wounds prior to May 1, 1871, increased the number of killed to 28,277. The missing were subsequently accounted for, with the exception of 4,009. The total deaths in the German army — in the field — during the war were 28,277 killed, died of disease or other causes, 12,466; total, 40,743. Total strength of the armies, 887,876. Percentage of killed, 3.1; percentage of deaths from all other causes, 1.4.--(Dr. Engel, Director des koniglich preussischen statistischen Bureaus.) Mr. Kirkley, the statistician of the War Department, states the deaths from battles curing the Civil War at 110,070, of which 67,508 are classified as killed in action, and 43,012 as having died of wounds. From this it appears that, on the average, the mortally wounded are equal to 64 per cent. of the killed. In the Greman Army — Franco-Prussian War — there were 17,572 killed, and 10,707 who died of their wounds, the mor

rs and men into that charge; they lost 113 killed and 134 wounded Kinglake.; total, 247, or 36.7 per cent. The heaviest loss in the German Army during the Franco-Prussian war occurred in the Sixteenth Infantry (Third Westphalian), at Mars La Tour. Like all German regiments of the line it numbered 3,006 men. As this battle was the first in which it was engaged,--occurring within a few days of the opening of the campaign,--it carried 3,000 men into action. It lost 509 killed and mortally wounded, 619 wounded, and 365 missing Dr. Engel: Director des koniglich preussischen statistischen Bureaus.; total, 1484, or 49.4 per cent. The Garde-Schutzen Battalion, 1,000 strong, lost at Metz, August 18th, 162 killed and mortally wounded, 294 wounded, and 5 missing; total, 461, or 46.1 per cent. A comparison of these percentages with those of the Union regiments in certain battles just cited will give some idea of the desperate character of the fighting during the American Civil War.

. As a result the statistics of our last war are, in many instances, meager and unsatisfactory; and, in some cases are wanting entirely. At the close of a war the Government should be able to publish the regimental losses in form similar to Dr. Engel's Verluste der deutschen Armeen im Kriege gegen Frankreich, 1870 und 1871, an admirable official work which was given to the public by the Gernman Government.

ent to the front near Petersburg. April 7th, while leading a charge of a squad of Rosser's cavalry at High Bridge, was badly wounded. Rallying the men he charged the second time and was repulsed. Gathering a few he charged the third time and was killed. Captain Jacob Engle, living near Harper's Ferry, saw him shot off his horse. A comrade ran to the body and unbuckled his belt and sabre stained with blood, gave it to Captain Engle with instructions to keep it until he called for it. Captain Engel has it yet to fulfil that trust. John Dean Adams, was near when Major Thomson was killed, of our county. Major James W. Thomson's remains are buried in the third grave north of Ashby brothers in the Virginia lot in Stonewall cemetery. Three of his comrades, in June last, members of the Turner Asby Camp, formed themselves into a committee, to raise funds for a monument, suggested by William Lyman, of New Orleans, who was here at General Thomas L. Rosser's reunion, stated at the tim
