One day last week, we took.the trouble of counting the number in a single c??py of the' Commercial, and it was over a thousand.! When we re member that a single column-in that paper contains over three hundred names, and then call to mind the "multitude of columns" we have seen, we no longer wonder what has be come of our men; ou the contrary, we won der where all the people, hate come from. It rs-* perpetual list of sick, wounded, dying {and dea i-ihe missing not being taker* "into the account Yet the callous and, we might almost say, brutal edtyrs of these papers fill their other columna daily with invitations and entreaties to the remnant of young men at home to enter' this war and- march' into the peas of the Sou tb. It would seem as if they were fascinated ' by the sight ot their bloody lists, and Lad an ambition that every man's name should figure in their pages as wounded, sick or dead. .
