housand? Of these only about sixty thousand were sent to the field, and the share of my army, one of the largest in the field, was not over fifteen thousand; and of this number the greater part were worthless foreigners, who are daily deserting to the enemy. These are sad facts. I remember you were struck last winter with my telling the Councils of Philadelphia that this army, of whose fighting qualities there seemed to be a doubt, had lost, from official records, from April, 1862, to December, 1863, one hundred thousand, killed and wounded. I have now an official document before me in manuscript, being my report of the campaign from the Rapidan to the 1st of November, and it has a list of casualties showing the enormous number of ninety thousand men, killed, wounded and missing. All this is strictly confidential, as I would be condemned for telling the truth; but when people talk to me of ending the war, I must tell them what war is and its requirements; because you can then see

ked for appropriations for any purpose, it was hardly possible to pass them, and, if passed, they were subject to the President's veto. So that the administration, and not Congress, was chiefly responsible for the financial operations.

The scale of depreciation was as follows: Confederate currency.

n compressed so as to bring them to close conjunction and the required form. See Bigelow's patent, in which the blank-heels, built up in readiness for attachment to the boot, are punched while in a state of compression, and have the nails partially inserted ready for the final driving which fastens them to the boot. In some cases, as a substitute for the shaved rand, the upper lift is made basin-shaped by compression. The punching is done by a gang of awls. See also Ellis's patent of December, 1863, reissued, for punching the lifts of boots and shoes. After the blank-heel has been made, it is placed in the socket of a machine against the boot in position, and a plunger drives the whole gang of nails at once through the insole and counter, and clenches them against the anvil which rests on the insole of the boot. Or, nails are forced through the inner sole into the heel from within; also, from the outer or wearing surface down through the heel-lifts by means of rods arranged to
