(HUNT'S AND LEE'S AKMIES.
The London Standard of Get. 12 pub
lishes tlie following letter from Gen. 15a
1 dean :
My attention has recently been drawn
to an editorial artiele in The Standard for
l h i. -I, which is devoted to Gen. Uubort E.
j l.err 1 have of course no right, and eer
i t.iiuly no de.-ire, to deprecate the estimate
put by the Standard upon either the per
-oiiul or the military character ot Gen.
' Lee : but as the artiele in question contains
, everal statements evidently based upon
'mi-information, I venture to a-k that you
'■ will allow me to correct them in your eol- ,
j minis. 1 have the les- hesitation in inak- .
i iag tiii- request, because my principal i
! authority lor the proposed corrections is
that of Gi a. Lee himself.
All the original documents still in exist
ence, which once belonged to the South- 1
era WarOlliee are now in the possession 1
of the l aited States Government; for, '
very soon after the capture of ilichmoud,
they were, by the express direction ot '
Mr. .b lferson lhivis, surrendered by Gen.
: .loseph E. .Johnston to Gen. Sherman. As
■Military and private Secretary to Gen.
< .rant Horn the time when lie t >ok com
mand of the armies of the United States
until ho became l’resident, 1 have had for
ars unrestricted access, not only to his
own ollli ial papers, but to all these eap
ttir. d arehiuves, and have bad occasion to
study them more closely than any living
' men.
In the artiele of the Standard to which I
rcler i- declaim!—doubtless in good’faith.
for the declaration has been made before
and in other quarters—that Gen. Lee, at
the beginning of the Wilderness campaign
i had but u(.i,(mu men under his command,
while G. ii, Grant had three times as many.
: The official documents do not confirm this
statement. The field return ot Lee, dated
nearest the lir.-t battles of the Wilderness,
is that of April 20, lbtil: this gives .j;i,
MU iii.'ii present for duty, but does not in
1 flnde the strength of Longstreel’s corps.
Now 1 ongslreet joined Lee after April 20.
and prior to the battle which occurred in
the la-l week of May. llis field return of
date nearest to the battle shows 18,1387
j.resent for duty, making 72,27s men un
der Lee at the battle ot the Wilderness,
file whole force present for duty under
Grant, as -lmwn by bis field returns of the
-aine date a- Lee'.-, Was tts.ulll, 1. aving a
preponderance in favor of Grant of about
2f.,on0 men, ora very little more than one
third.
The calculation that Grant had three
times as many men as Lee has been ob-1
tained by omitting Longstreet's corps al
together I rum tile estimate, and by giving;
only Lee's loree present tor duty on the
Kapidan ; while, in reckoning Grant’s
numbers,.not only the present for duty are ;
counted, hut those constituting what, in ;
military parlance, is called the total,
'which includes the sick, the extra-duty
; men. ami various others, invariably
amounting, in any large army, to many
thousand'. Manife-tlv, either Lee's total
j should b« compared u itli Grant's total, or
| Gram's present for duly with Lee's pres
ent lor duty, lint besides this, in order to
make out (Irani's armt three times as large
as Lee's, Grant'* two forces in the Valley
ot \ iiginia and on the .lames River (each
at least one hundred miles trout the Wil
derness) are included in the estimate of
hi- strength : while the troops which Lee
had in trout of these separate forces of
Grant are left out of the calculation al
together. I repeat that in the battle of the j
\\ llderties-. Lee had about 72,000 men en
gaged, while Grant had its,(too present for
duty—according to the confidential field I
returns made at the time by each General J
to his own (ioverninent, when no General I ]
would intentionally misstate or mislead. !
Again, it is stated in tic Standard article
of the .'it11 in-t. that I.moved out of Rich-, i
moiul, alti a its tall, with 2ti,ttOO. 11 is last
In id return was made in February, 180.7; |
it i- -igued in his on n hand, and gives .7:1.-;
oill present for duty, and 7.'5.:it'.i total.
This dm s not include the local militia of
Richmond, nor the crews ot the gunboat
in the .Loin - River, both of which forces j
were always put into tbo trenches in an j
a-'nult, an I many of whom, doubtless,
mmol mil of Richmond with Lee. To-1
g.- her they numbered, at least, sev eral
thousands. In the battle of Ifive Forks |,
and the suliseiptent as-aults on IVterslntrg, : t
which resulted in the capture of Rich
mond. Leo may have lost 20,<Mm> men, Imt
this would have left hint by any computa
tion, at least 10,ooo troops with which lie!
tied trout tlte fallen capital.
Ilurr moti', tlie article in quest ion states
tint s.iii'ii incii were surrendered by Lee
... A;i]'oniato.\ Court House. 'I lie official
reeoril >1 iow that 27,10) soldiers were ae
tually paroh .1 at that place, beside the tens
of t housands al o belonging to Lee's army,
u lio came in afterward and \ iehled them
selves prisoners of war. Lach of these ’
gave hi- separate written parole. 1 was
present at the surrender of Gen. Lee. The ■
event took place in a small room of what '
seemed an ordinary farm-house, ami in the ]
... fewer than 2" persons. After ,
Gell. Lee had signed tile capitulation he
immediately requested Gen. Grant to sup- j
ply tie' prisoners with food, as they had
been living on two ears of Indian corn a
I day for several days. Grant at once
consented, and inquired of Leo how
many men lie had in his command. Lee
| replied that lie could not tell; lie had
received no returns for several days, his ‘
i roup- had been killed or wounded, or cap-1
tnred in 'tu b numbers that he could not es
limatc his actual force. Grant inquired if
25,000 rations would be enough, and he
1 answered that he thought they would ; 25,-1
. t *« a) lift Ions were accordingly issued the I
same day by Grant's officers to Lee's armv. 1
This therefore was Lee's idea of his own
numbers on the day of his surrender, al
though, as proved by the paroles, it was
too small.
I'hu original documents from which the

SUSPENDED ANIMATION.
'riie Washington Chronicle of the 24th hat
he following in relation to a singular case of
luspended animation.
"On the 20th instant Ella, second daughter
>i the late Captain li. and Eliza Ererer, aged
■ixteen years, apparently died at Homestead,
I'rince tieorge county, Maryland, of typhoid
ever. Her remains were brought to this city
uid placed in the care of Mr. N. C. Draper,
a friend of her family,) who resides on Thir
ccntli -treet, near I), southwest, for inter
nent. Yesterday evening all the preparations
or her funeral had been made—the hearse
lad arrived, the clergyman who was to preach
he funeral sermon was present, and th#
riends had assembled to assist in the last
ad rites. The coffin lids were opened, and
hose who wished were invited to take a fare
veil glance at the features they would see no
nore in this life. A lady (a particular friend
d the deceased) clasped her hand, and was
istonished, and almost shocked, to discover
hat it was perfectly limber, as in life and
hat a slight warmth was perceptible about the
lalms of the hands. She immediately gave
mtice of the fact, and a physician (Dr. C. 1*.
jrifiith) was summoned; and now the hearts
if those who had a moment before been bowed
lown with grief were lightened by the hope
hat the vital 6park had not fled from the body
if their young friend.
l Me greatest excitement prevailed tor a
ime, but when Dr. Griffith arrived he order
'll the hearse to be sent away, and request
'd the persons assembled to return to
heir homes. No doubt but that prayer* a*
ervidly in earnest ns ever were offered to the
lirone of the Most High were breathed forth
from every heart in that assemblage for the
success of the physician in his effort* to re
call the life-throb bauk to that pulseless form.
Dr. G. applied every remedy which the na
ture of the case demanded, and by the aid of
the galvanic buttery succeeded, after a long
time, in producing a pulse of five beats to the
Minute, but he was finally compelled to de
list upon the sad conviction that all attempts
it resuscitation would be fruitless.
It is the opinion of nearly every one that
,liis is a clear case of suspended animation,
mil that if medical assistance could have been
endured at an earlier period the unfortunate
roung lady might have been resuscitated
unfortunately, on account of the fact that
die was brought here on the steamer, the lack
if the rigidity of her limbs and the warmth
if her hands could not be discovered, (the
mffin lids of course being closed.) It is fear
ful to think that there was a possibility of
saving the lile of the young lady by an earlier
ippliance of restoratives, but it is by no
means certain that her life could have been
saved even by this, for there are many in
stances on record where bodies have retained
ivarmth and pliancy for several days after
lentil. As before stated, at 8 o’clock last
light Dr. Griffith pronounced Miss Frerer
■ertainly dead, aril her funeral will take
dace this evening.

DRY EARTH SYSTEMS
?or the Sewage of Towns, Factories,
Hospitals, Prisons, Hotels and
Private Houses.
VMI*LK experience has shown the Dry Earth
System to be more efficient in preventing foul
nuells, ami far less costly in construction and re
utirs than the Water Closet System; and that it is
n all respects entirely satisfactory, whether lor the
sick Room or for constant use.
The Earth Closet offers to all, in town and coun
:r\. every bene tit possessed by the Water Closet, at
far less cost, with the additional advantages, that it
is portable, and cau. be moved to the bedside in the
-ic krooni.
It promises more in immunity from offensive
imIoi-.-, from infection in disease, and in the saving
of fertilizers than has ever been accomplished by
a -ingle invention.
In the COMMODE, the apparatus and earth res
ervoir are self-contained, and a movable pail takes
the place of the vault.
For use in Bed Rooms, Hospital Ward*. Infirm
aries, a . U* Co nun ode is invaluable. It is entire
til free from those faint, depressing odors, common
to port aids water closets and night stools, and through
its admission one of the greatest miseries of human
life, the foul smells of the sick room, and one ot the
most frequent means of communicating infection,
may be entirely prevented.
