Washington, D. C., June 23.—The committee on military affairs has recommended Gen. D. B. Hender- sou’s bill for the purchase and pres- ervation of the battle field of Shiloh. It is proposed to acqure title to about 3,000 acres of laud. The work is to be put in charge of three com- missioners one from the Army of the Tennessee, Grant’s: one from the Army of the Ohio, Don Carlos Buell’s, and one from the Army of the Mississippi, Albert Sidney John- stou's There is appropriated for $150,000 Every patriotic citizen of the United States should be deeply in terested in this work, for there were men engaged in that battle from 21 ttites of the Union. The total num ber engaged was between 90,000 aud 100,000. The records show that in the two days’ fighting the union army suffered severely, as there were about 40,000, of which number there were disabled a total of 13,047, a practical destruction of about 25 per cent of the army. The confederate forces suffered equally as much, for out of an effective total of about 40,335, there was a decrease after the battle of about 10,699 These figures sireply show what a desperate conilict this battle-field What is Eczema?
