LIVES LOST BY THE REBELLION.

The War Department computes the number of deaths in the Union armies since the commencement of the war, at 250,000, and of the Southern soldiers at least 275,000, making at least 525,000 lives that have been lost; a part of the costly price paid for the defense of the nation's life. At Gettysburg 25,000 Union Soldiers were killed, wounded or taken prisoners—our greatest loss during one campaign. Gen. Grant's losses, from the time he crossed the Rapidan until Lee's surrender, were about 90,000.
