Gentlemen-Tlle command under Maj.
Lally was met by The gerrilas yesterday
in EMce at Paso Oueja, one mile in the
rear of this camp, about P, NJ. Attacks
were made in front, in rear, and upon the
centre oflhe train, aud they were repulsed
a. all poiuls, aud we advanced to this eu.
campmeut. Our force was well distributed
fur the defence Of the train, The lorce in the
rear being nearly as long as in front, and a
guard of two companies in the centIe Of
The wagons, and aaukers alongside of the
train throughout.
But our loss is severe, two officers being
severely wounded. Capt. james Ii. Cal
well, of the Voltigeurs. and Capt. Aulhur
G.. Cummius, of the 1Ith lufaulry, the
former native Of Maryland, aud the later
of Virginia. Ten men, non comm issioued
officers, and privates, are wounded. None
were killed outright. One has died since,
aud some perhaps dangerously wounded.
Hopes are yet entertained for the recove.

way through securely; perhaps fighting
our way for many days. We are about
lwsIve miles from the National Bridge,
and we move on few miles today.
The Sun says eight lneu were killed or
our side, and that Capt. Loyell's Georgia
mounted men killed twenty-five OF the
enemy in charge. Governor Wilson i'm.

Capt. Fairchild's company started at once

Louisiana battalion, were also ordered up.
