Total Union loss: killed, 387; wounded, 2558; capturedor missing, 112 = 3057. The casualties at Franklin,November 30tli, amounted to 189 killed; 1033 wounded;and 1104 captured or missing= 2326. General Thomasreported that the losses of his army in the entire cam-paign did not exceed 10,000 in killed, wounded, andmissing. According to official returns the effectiveforce of Thomas’s whole command was as follows:October 31st, 53,415; November 20th, 59,534; Novem-ber 30th, 71,452; December 10th, 70,272. In his officialreport, General Thomas says that his effective forceearly in November “ consisted of the Fourth Corps ,about 12,000, under GeneralD. S. Stanley; the Twenty-third Corps , about 10,000, under General J. M. Scho-field; Hatch’s division of cavalry, about 4000; Croxton’sbrigade, 2500, and Capron’s brigade of about 1200[total, 29,700]. The balance of my force was distributedalong the railroad, and posted at Murfreesboro ’, Steven-son, Bridgeport, Huntsville, Decatur, and Chattanooga ,to keep open our communications and hold the postsabove named, if attacked, until they could be reen-forced, as up to this time it was impossible to determinewhich course Hood would take — advance on Nashville ,or turn toward Huntsville .” It is estimated that theavailable Union force of all arms in and about Nashville on December 15th aggregated at least 55,000. Col. HenryStone, of General Thomas’s staff, furnishes the followingestimate of the number of Union troops actually engagedin the battle (not including the garrison force and dis-mounted cavalry), viz.: Fourth Corps , 13,350; Twenty-third Corps, 8830 ; Detachment Army of the Tennessee,9210; Steedman’s Detachment, 5270; Cavalry Corps(mounted men), 6600, or .an aggregate, includiug artil-ery, of 43,260. General J. I-I. Wilson says the cavalrynumbered 12 , 000 .
