They lost, say, 3,000 men before York. They 5000 at Williamsburg. They lost 2,000 at Bar Hansville. They lost, according to Chandler, 10,000 by digging on the Chickahominy. They lost 13,000 at Seven Pines. The remaining 45,000 they either in the battles of the last of June and 1st of July, from disease or straggling off and perishing in the swamps.

We stated, some time ago, our belief that McClellan had lost, since he landed in Virginia, at least 80,000 men. That we made a good guess, we are now enabled to prove from the showing of the Yankees themselves. 1st Chandler, in his speech, says that, first and last, 158,000 men had been sent to him. this information he obtained from the War office. It cannot therefore, he called in question. 2d "Agate," the correspondent of the Cincinnati --a thorough war paper — says that President Lincoln, after his visit to McClellan at Berkley said to four gentlemen, only the Friday before the day on which he was writing, "with marked emphasis" I can't tell where the men have gone in that army.
