One stormy evening in January, a week
or two after ''Christmas, a family party was
gathered round a wood-tire in the drawing
room of a' couutry-house in the north of

he imagination naturally turns to the

o the fire, we , began to speak of the un
seen world and unearthly visitants, i We
talked over all these things; one after an
other remembered some tale which ad
ded fresh horror to those already j told.
But amongst us, my uncle Edward; stilt
kept silence; not inattentive, for he was
listening, patiently and with interest, but
lifting back in his easy chair, gazing dream

The New York Tribune gives abstract
of the returns of all the armies of the Con
federacy from 2SC2 to 1SG4, which it cod
siders complete. It thtis cem meats -u pea
the exhibit made by this abstract:
"The number of troops at tlie East and
the West was throughout nearly equal, and
no considerable body of soldiers wns ever
transferred from one army to the other.--
The greatest number actually borne at any.
one time on their muster rolis was 60,000;,
and this was only when 'by -robbing tho . '.
cradle and the grave," every rnalo from se
venteen to fifty was enrolled in the .army.
Haifa million is the utmost nominally en
rolled at any other period. The greatest
number present for duty at one time, and
that for only a brief period, was "300,000;"'
to which should probably be added a few
thousand rangers, partisans and bushwhack
ers. There were not three periods of a
month when they had 250,000. The army
of Northern Virginia, under Lee, was the
great strength of the Confederacy. At on
ly fbree periods diil it for a month number
one hundred thousand men present for du
ty. A study of these reports compared
with the known strength of the Union Ar
my of Ihc Potomac, will furnish materials -for
a most severe criticism on tho conduct
of the war in this department, and the mil- ,
itary merits of the different commander!
than any man has yet dared to write. Thus, :.
in October, 1SGI, when McCIclIan, , with
147,000 men feared to advance toward Ma-,
nassas, suppos:ng that the enemy had not .
less than 150,000, their actual force . was
less than 40,000; and in December they had .
only 54,000. Again, when at the beginning :
ot April. IbG2, "the Unready" reached thu
Peninsula, with not fewer than '100,000
men. he was for a fortnight held in check
by Magruder with barely 15,000, who, be- .
side holding Yorktown, had to guard a lino
of a dozen miles. When, after digging away
at Yorktown for a fortnight, McClennan
was ready to assail that fortification, held,
as he supposed, by at least 100,000 men
he having, as he says, 85,000 the Coufed- -crates
actually had on the whole Peninsula1,
less than 50000. And when he finally
reached the Chickahominy with about 110,-
000 effective men, tlie enemy had at Rich
mond but 47,000, increased at the close of -May
to 67,000 sick and well probably a- ;
bout 60,000 effective. MeadVs success at
Gettysburg was so decided and of such vi
tal moment that the feebleness of his subso-" '
quent campaign in Virginia has been over-
looked. When, at the close of July,he had'
reachbd the Rappahannock, he bad fully
80,000 men. The figures which we give
show that Lee had only 41,000. Yet, with
this great preponderance, Halleck would
not allow Meade to attempt any offensive '
operations. But in October, when Meade
had 70,000 and Lee but 45,000, the Uuioa
General was driven back almost withia
sight of Washington. Tnis retreat from
Culpepper to CentrcviHe is utterly inexpli
cable, for Halleck had nothing to do with
the movement, and Meade knew that hj
was much stronger than his enemy. This
abortive campaign showed that Meade, an
excellent officer when backed by a stronger"
will t.iati his own, was wholly dcncieut la ¬
the moral courage requisite for the conduct ;
of a campaign. When Halleck was displa
ced from the chief command, and Grant a
firm will directed Meade, the campaign as
sumed a wholly different aspect. "For
ward to Richmond," or wherever tho rebel
strength might lie, became the "war cry"
not only of the nation, but of the Comman
der of the National Army. Thes? are but
a few of the points upon which the Confed-
erate muster-rolls, which arc now for
the first time published, furnish occasion to .
remark." 7 7
