CIVIL WAR FIGURES.
Statistics of the Army That Put
the Rebellion.
t The enlistments in the union
army during the civil war reached
the enormous total of 2,898,304.
It is not possible to know exactly
how many enlistments there were
in the confederate army, because
the confederate states failed to keep
a reliable record of the number of
men furnished to the service, and
such statistics as are to be had are
incomplete. It is estimated, how
ever, that there were between 600,
000 and 700,000 men in the con
federate armies, and that fully
200,000 of this number died in bat
tie or from wounds and disease.
