It is difficult to conceive what fearful havoc « ar has made of human 1 fe. Some of its incidental ravages seem to defy all belief. It . has at times Untir'ely depopula ted immense districts- In modern as well as aiioient times, large tracts have been left so utterly desolate, that a traveler might pass from village to village, even from city to city, without finding a solitary inhabi tant. The war of 1756 waged in the heart of Europe, left in one instance no less than twenty continguous villages without|a single man or beast. The Thirty Years’ of war in the seventeenth century, reduced the population of Germany from 12,000,000 to 4,000,000—three fourths; and that of Wur- temburg from 500,000 to 48,000—more than nine-tenths! Thirty thousand villages were destroyed; in many others the popu lation had entirely died out; in districts studded with towns and cities, there sprang up immense forests. Look at the havoc of seiges-in that of Londondonderry 12,000 soldiers, besides a vast number of inhabitants; in that of P ar is, in the sixteenth century, 30,000 victims of mere hunger; in that of Malpaquet, 34,- 000 soldieis alone; in that of Ismail, 40,000. of Vienna, 70,000; of Ostend, 120,000: of Mexico, 150,000; of .4cre, 300,000; of Car thage, 700,000; of Jerusalem, 1,000,000! Mark the slaughter of single battles—at Lepanto, twenty-live thousand ; at Auster- 1 tz, thirty thousand; at Eylau, sixty thous and; at \Vaterloo and Quatre Bras—one engagement, in fact - seventy thousand; at Borodino, eighty thousand ; at Fontenoy, one hundred thousand; at Arbela, three hundred thousand; at Chalons, three hun dred thousand of Atilla’s army alone; four hundred thousand Usipetes were' slain by Julius Caesar in one battle, and’ fouV hundret^ and thirty thoDMand Germans in anothe:'. Take only two cases mord. '1 he army of Xerxes, says Dr. Dick, naiist have amoun- ted.to 5,283,320; and, if the attendants were only one-third as great as common at the present day in Eastern countries, the sum total must have reached nearly six millions. Yet, in one year, this vast multitude reduced, though not entirely by death, td three hundred thousand fighting men; and of these only three thousand escaped de struction. Jenghis-khan, the tlirrible raV- ager of Asia in the thirteenth century, shot ninety thousand on the plaius df Hessa,'and massacred two hundred'thousand at the dependencies, one million hii^diriiii and sixty-two thoi-sand. During the iMt twenty-seven years of his long I’eign, 'he is said to have massacred inoi^ than'hidfii million every y e a r; and in the & k foUHtjeh* years, he is supposed, by Chinese histdrlKhM. to have destroyed not less than eighteen millioDs; a sum total of ov«r thirty-two Aitt- lionain forty-one years ! In any view, what a fell destroyer is war I Napoleon’s wars saefifided full six millions, and all the wArs consequent on the’fViuMh Bevolutioii, some nine or ten millions. The Spaniards are said to haVe destrdyed,in for ty-two years, more than twefv^' mMnka 8t American Indians. Grecian wars sacrificed fifteen millions: Jewish wars, twentjr^five millions; the wars of the twelve Csesan, In all, thirty millions ; the wars of the Bo- mans, before Julius Csesar, sixty millions; the wars of the Boman Empire, of the Self-i acensand the Turks, sixty millions each;' those of the Tartars, eighty millions; those of Africa, one hundred millions! Dr. Dick says, that if we take into con sideration the number not dnl^ of those who have fallen in battle, but of those Who have perished through the natural cdnie- quences os war, it will not perhaps be over rating the destruction of human life, if We affirm, that one tenth of the human race has been destroyed by the ravages of War? and, according to this estimate, more than fourteen thousand millions of human beings have been slaughtered iff waf since tfie beginning of the world. Edmund Bfirlie went still further, and reckoned the sum total of its ravages, from the first, at np'^less' than thirty-five thousand Uaillions'. W oman . -Thackeray says, i '# ^ a n V heirt is just like a liihogra^heif’s itohe^ what is onC6' wi-it^n u^n' da'nhbt he rubbed out. This is so.
