STATISTICS OF THE ARMY OF THE UNITED STATES EMPLOYED DURING THE WAR WITH MEXICO. [From a Report of the Adjutant-General, dated April 5, 1848.] 1. Strength of the Army at the Commencement of the War in May, 1846. Number of Officers (present), 516 5,925 6,441 7,244 Aggregate present and absent, (Corps of engineers, topographical engineers, and ordnance not included.) 2. Strength of the Army on the Frontiers of Texas, May, 1846. 3. Number of Troops (regular Army) sent to Mexico, and Recruits joined since the Commencement of Hostilities. 4. Total number of Regulars enlisted from May 13, 1846, to Dec. 5. Number of Recruits (regular Army) sent to Mexico from May, * Many recruits who arrived in Mexico never joined any regiment, and probably never will be accounted for. Among the numerous detachments put en route for the interior, many were killed or left sick, and died en route or in hospital. Several hundred recruits have been organized as separate companies, and not been incorporated with any regiment. From these various causes, probably not less than 1500 recruits sent to Mexico have never been reported. 79 recruits died, 792 were rejected and discharged, and 1,806 deserted before being assigned to regiments, and these are not included in the tables of casualties. 7. Volunteers mustered into Service, and joined and recruited since Muster. From the number of volunteers it is proper to deduct the force not called out by the War Department, nor under the act of May 13, 1846, and also those mustered, but discharged as supernumerary. This class embraces the three and six months' men, two regiments of twelve months' men from Ohio and Missouri, and one company from Iowa, amounting to 14,383. Deducting this class from the aggregate, 71,309, the force enrolled under the act of May 13, 1846, and under the fifth section of the act of March 3, 1847, is about 56,926. But this number was reduced by discharges, &c., and it is probable that the number put en route for the army exceeded but little 50,000 men. * Two errors, causing an excess of 411, will be observed, which occur in the report. The numbers are left as they stand in the report, because we have no means of judging whether the error is in the aggregate or in the particular sums. 8. General View of the Forces employed in the War with Mexico, the Number of Men and Officers discharged, deserted, killed in Battle, died of Illness, died of Wounds, resigned, and accidentally wounded or killed. Old establishment, in cluding marines, Additional force, *628 16,217 16,885 1,435 887 253 2,575 45 434 19 331 64 765 476 10,145 10,621 2 248 56 306 6 4 133 Aggregate reg. army, 1,104 26,362 27,506 1,437 1,135 309 2,881 51 496 23 402 70 898 Volunteer Forces.

The actual loss under the heads of “Number of Discharges and "Ordinary Deaths" is probably much greater than is exhibited, as the muster-rolls of many regiments are missing. 1 * This number does not embrace the numerous officers of the general staff and staff corps sent from time to time to Mexico. † In the reports of the deaths of volunteers, of ordinary disease, officers are not discriminated. |
