The casualties of war are simply horrible. Since Erzeronra was evac-E uated 13,000 sick and wounded Turks have died, and 21,000 Russians have died from sickness since they entered the plain of Erzeroum. And this is small part of the loss of either army. Already 6,000 applications have beeo-made for pensions of the war of 1812, under the recent act. It will require 556,000 to pay , these. It was stated in the Senate, when the Uill was pending, that there were not more than a few hundred pensioners. Tfiere is a feejing of great uneasi ness ml England.
