The Comte de Paris, in his history of the war, estimates that the union army had only 82,000 actually on the field. Gen. Meade's monthly return of June 30th, shows 99,131 Present for duty, equipped. Still, in view of the constant discrepancy bettaken into action, the estimate of the Comte de Paris may be assumed to be substantially correct. It is very doubtful if Meade had over 82,000 men on the field, including the Sixth Corps, which was in reserve. Historians vary as to the numbers engen at Gettysburg, present in action. His cavalry were absent. At Waterloo, Wellington's army lost 23,185; at Gettysburg, Meade's army lost 23,003. The loss of the French at Waterloo has never been officially announced, but has been estimated at 26189 wounded, and 939 missing; total, 20,577, out of 146,000 troops engaged, exclusive of 65,000 reserves. At Gettysburg, Meade's army sustained a greater loss with half the number engaged. It may be suggested that the Franco-Prussian war was, co

Reynolds was in command at Fredericksburg, with Doubleday, Gibbon and Meade as division generals; loss, 347 killed, 2,429 wounded, and 561 missing; total, 3,337. After this battle, the division of Pennsylvania Reserves--Meade's (3d) Division — was withdrawn from the front, and ordered to Washington that it might resleadership, to carry Marye's Heights after all other efforts had failed. General Meade succeeded Butterfield, and led the corps to Chancellorsville, where it was s the Third Division, this time under command of General S. W. Crawford. General Meade having been promoted to the command of the Army, just before the battle of , his chief-of-staff, waived the question of their superiority of rank over General Meade, in order that the corps might serve under that officer in the Army of the

y were detached, and the division proper included only the three brigades of infantry. The Reserves were prominently engaged at Dranesville, Mechanicsville, Gaines's Mill, Charles City Cross Roads (Glendale), Manassas, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, and in the Wilderness campaign. At Fredericksburg the division made a gallant fight, the losses being unusually severe in proportion to the number engaged. The division was commanded in turn by Generals McCall, Reynolds, Meade, and Crawford. It was attached, originally, to the First (McDowell's) Corps, but while on the Peninsula it served in the Fifth Corps. At Manassas, Antietam, and Fredericksburg, it was again in the First Corps. After Fredericksburg it was ordered to Washington to rest and recruit its shattered regiments, but it rejoined the Army on the Gettysburg campaign, when it was assigned to the Fifth Corps, in which it remained until mustered out. The casualties in this division do not amount to t

At Gaines's Mill, the EleventH held its position in the face of a terrible fire until the September, 1862. It joined McClellan's Army in October, and was placed in McCandless's Brigade, Meade's Division, Pennsylvania Reserves. With this command it fought in its initiatory battle at Frednotes.--It took the field in September, 1862, and was attached soon after to the Second Brigade, Meade's Division, Pennsylvania Reserves, First Corps.

lthough repeatedly filled up with recruits, were held there until many of them were worn out by the constant attrition. For these reasons it is evident that although the Confederate Armies were much smaller, their losses were not necessarily smaller in proportion. Their generals displayed a wonderful ability in always confronting the enemy with an equal force at the point of contact. What mattered Hooker's extra thousands at Chancellorsville? In two corps not a shot was fired. What if Meade did have 20,000 more men at Gettysburg than Lee? The Sixth Corps lay in reserve. But in these battles, as in others, every Confederate regiment was put in and not relieved until they had lost killed and wounded men by the score. The aggregate of killed and mortally wounded in the Confederate Armies during the war was 16,000 less than in the Union Armies; or, adding the usual proportion of wounded, a difference of about 60,000, killed and wounded, in favor of the Confederates.
