A STATKMKNT OK Til K KIU.I.P, WOIkDKD AN I» CAP ’ TURKI) IS TIIK SKVKRAL UATTI.kS AND OTtIKU KN GAOKMKNTS IN TIIK YEAR 1861. * Tlie following table exhibits .m approximation to tlie losses of both parties by the several engage ments during the year. The Confederate losses are compiled from the official reports of the com mauding officers, (when such reports were pub lished). Os course, we can only guess at the losses of the enemy. The Northern papers seldom pub lish the official reports of tlie Federal Generals, and tlie latter have "ynorally proved themselves such monstrous falsifiers that but little confidence can be placed in their reports when they are pub lished. For instance, Picayune Butler stated his loss at Bethel at about thirty, when it is a notori OU3 fact that one small squad of Magruder’* men alone buried thirty-two Federal bodies after the battle. In estimating the Federal losses, we have adopted the opinions of the Confederate -officers commanding, who are gentlemen, and upon whose statements perfect reliance may be placed ; CON t KIiI.RaTK SUCCESS**.

Ho was born in Charles City county, on the 20th of March, 17l‘D, and had, consequently, ueariy completed tl.e seventy-second year of his :i t c. lli> health had been impaired for- years by infirmities, incident to advanced life, but he still retain ed a remarkable dgree of physical elasticity, as well as of mental vigor, which eneouramd the belief that, he Wouhl he scared to t! .■ country for years of continued u.-vfuliir.-.- in the national eoiineils. Those hopes were not to be realized. 011 Sunday morning the 12th in-t , about nine o’clock, ho went to the breakfast table* at the Kxchangc Hotel, but complained ot | being indi.-porcl, and did not cat any thing. I After taking a lew sips of tea, he arose from ! his seat, and walked to another table. IL was then observed to lean over, resting bis forehead upon the palm of his right hand, j his elbow resting on the table. li> a mo ment uftt nvards, he fainted and tell open the floor. His. Heath, Jones, .Miller, and j others,'ran to his assistance, and found ti he was nearly lifeless. They, indeed su| posed him to be dead, but instantly bore him to the parlor of the Hotel, where cfldrfs were made to restore him to cousciouxne*- . in a few minutes, Mr. Tyltr vomited freely, : and then gradually revived until he recov ered sufficient strength to walk to his room in the Dullard House. He was assisted i thither by his relative, Dr. Miller, and an - (other geutlemau. Soon after reaching his room, lie was seized with a chill, and again vomited profusely. r Dy this time, Dr. St. (icorge Peachy, who had been sent for arrived,and contribu ted his skill to the relief of Mr. Tyler.— The venerable patient received from the D-c --tor, as well as from his family and friends, j every attention which their solicitude hr hi recovery suggested, but he became more ft ble, every day. 'l ire loss ot nppetit • eon - queut upon his illness, caused him to decline taking any sustenance, or stimulants. II condition did not seem hopeless, or even critical, until Friday, when the exj rieuci i j eye of his physician, discovered flu sign* < f approaching dissolution. About 12 o’clock, Friday night, Mr. Tyler exhii ited noun* t -1 ess ness than usual. - Dr. Peachy sup| lolled him, in his bed, and tenderly eudeavored to induce him to partake of a stimulant, but he steadily refused, and whilst resting In fi Doctor’s aims, he calmly pa.—t and aw.: v.
