tersburg,4,000 June 22,Weldon railroad,2,500 June 23,Weldon railroad,1,000 June 26, Danville railroad,3,500 Last assault on Petersburg,5,040 Absolute loss of men,73,340 The above may appear appalling to European eyes, as also to those on this side of the Atlantic, but it does not give the half of Grant's losses in this campaign. All the columns operating in Virginia are under Grant's orders, and must be received as a part of his campaign. In the table above, no mention is made of Hunter's losses in his advance to Lynchburg. They could not have been less than fifteen thousand. Butler's movements in Chesterfield, too, are ignored entirely. In the fight at Drewry's Bluff, on the 16th May, they were all of seven thousand five hundred, to say nothing of his heavy losses previously at Port Walthall junction and Swift creek. The bloody battle of Monocracy, in Maryland, between General Early and Lew. Wallace, is also omitted. Also, the fights around the Washington defences. T
