Incomplete reportsof Confederate losses from May 1stto July 3d, inclusive, aggregate 1260 killed, 3572 wounded,and 4227 captured or missing = 9059. Complete returnswould doubtless swell the number to over 10,000. Accord-ing to the parole lists on tile in the War Department thenumber surrendered on July 4th was 29,491. Of coursethis included all the non-combatants. Pemberton’sgreatest available force, including the troops confront-ing Grnntat Raymoudand Jackson, probably numberedover 40,000. General Grant estimated it at nearly 60,000.General Pemberton says in his official report that whenhe moved within the defenses of Vicksburg his effectiveaggregate did not exceed 28 , 000 .

WRECK OF TIIE ‘‘STAR OF THE WEST,” IN THE TALLAHATCHIE RIVER, OPPOSITE TIIE SITE OEFORT PEMBERTON. FROM A PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN IN 1887.

It was the steamer Star of the West that was used inthe unsuccessful effort to reenforce Fort fcumter in Jan-uary, 1861. She was seized by the Confederates at Tn-dianola, Texa-s, in April, 1861. [See Vol. 1., p. 625.] 8.B.Morgan, of Greenwood, Mississippi , wrote to the editors,

January 12tli, 1888, that the Star of the West was sunk inthe Tallahatchie on March 13th, 1863, under the parapetof Fort Pemberton, to prevent Union gun-boats, that hadentered by way of Yazoo Pass, from passing from theTallahatchie into the Yazoo River. [See map, p. 442.]
