COMPARATIVE STATEMENT OF THE NUMBER OF	NOTES TO THE ADJOINING TABLE.
Figures in the column of deaths, opposite names of States, represent only such as occurred among white troops (losses among colored troops and Indians being given at the foot of the table). The table does not indicate losses among sailors and marines.
The colored soldiers organized under the authority of the General Government and not credited to any State were recruited as follows: In Alabama, 4969 ; Arkansas, 5526; Colorado, 95 ; Florida, 1044; Georgia, 3486; Louisiana, 24,052; Mis. sissippi, 17,869; North Carolina, 5035; South Carolina, 5462; Tennessee, 20,133 ; Texas, 47 ; Virginia, 5723.
There were also 5896 negro soldiers enlisted at large, or whose credits are not specially expressed by the records.
The number of officers and men of the Regular Army among whom the casualties herein noted occurred is estimated at 67,000; the number in the Veteran Reserve Corps was 60,508; and in Hancock’s Veteran Corps, 10,883.
The other organizations of white volunteers, organized directly by the U. S. authorities, numbered about 11,000.
In 82 national cemeteries (according to the report of June 30th, 1888) 325,230 men are buried; 176,397 being known, and 148,833 unknown dead. These numbers include 1136 at Mexico City, most of whom lost their lives in the Mexican war; about 9500 Confederates ; and about 8500 civilians.
The following table, made from official returns, shows the whole number of men enrolled (present and absent) in the active armies of the Confederacy:

* Estimated.
Very few, if any, of the local land forces, and none of the naval, are included in the tabular exhibit. If we take the 472,000 men in service at the beginning of 1864, and add thereto at least 250,000 deaths occurring prior to that date, it gives over 700,000. The discharges and desertions would probably increase the number to over 1,000,000. No data exists for a reasonably accurate estimate of Confederate losses.

GRAND REVIEWING STAND IN FRONT OF THE WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON, MAY 23-24, 1865.
THE GRAND REVIEW.
BY H. W. SLOCUM, MA JOE-GENERAL, U. S. V.
of our column started up Pennsylvania Avenue and soon passed the reviewing stand, which was filled with distinguished people from all parts of the country. Sherman’s men certainly presented a very soldierly appearance. They were proud of their achievements, and had the swing of men who had marched through half a dozen States. But the feature of the column which seemed to interest the spectators most was the attachments of foragers in rear of each brigade. At the review the men appeared “ in their native ugliness ” as they appeared on the march through Georgia and the Carolinas. Their pack-mules and horses, with rope bridles or halters, laden with supplies such as they had carried on the march, formed part of the column. It was a new feature in a grand review, but one which those who witnessed it will never forget.
Soon after the review the troops were ordered into various camps, where the paymaster paid them his last visit, and then they separated, never again to meet in large bodies, except on Memorial Day, the 30th of May, of each year, when they meet to honor the memory of comrades who gave their lives for their country, and at annual reunions of regimental associations, when they assemble to renew the ties of comradeship formed during the struggle of more than four years’ duration, which cost us hundreds of thousands of lives and thousands of millions of treasure, but which has conferred, even upon the defeated South, blessings that more than compensate the country for all her losses.
. . . We went into eamp in the vicinity of Alexandria, my own headquarters being very near the plaee I had occupied during the first winter of the war, when McClellan was organizing the Army of the Potomac. We were soon informed that the final scene of the war was to be a grand review of all the troops by the President and his Cabinet. All the foreign ministers resident in Washington, the governors of the States, and many other distinguished people had been invited to be present. The Eastern troops were to be reviewed on the 23d of May, and the Western on the day following. The leading officers of Sherman’s command were invited to the stand to witness the review of the Army of the Potomac, and they gladly accepted the invitation. After the close of the review of that army, several of our officers assembled at Sherman’s headquarters to discuss matters and prepare for the work to be done next day. In speaking of the review of the Army of the Potomac Sherman said: “It was magnificent. In dress, in soldierly appearance, in precision of alignment and marching we cannot beat those fellows.” All present assented to this statement. Some one then suggested that we should not make the attempt, but should pass in review “ as we went marching through Georgia”; that the foragers, familiarly known among us as “bummers,” should form part of the column. This suggestion seemed to strike General Sherman favorably, and instructions were issued to carry it into effect. Early on the following morning the head

On the 13th of April, 1865, the Secretary of War ordered the enrolment discontinued. The work of mustering out volunteers began April 29th, and up to August 7th 640,806 troops had been discharged; on September 14th the number had reached 741,107, and on November 15th 800,963.
On November 22d, 1865, the Secretary of War reported that Confederate troops surrendered and were released on parole, as follows:
