Mr.. Vulee authorizes an announcement that
he will remain a cnaidate for Sheriff to the
close Of the polls. Ne regret it. He certainly
cannot be elected, wIe his running fayors the

He will run the lowest OF four candidates,
which position viii barely dojustice to his un-

AREyIEW OF THE LOSSES.

The Commercial Adrertiser has CAREFUL review
of the various skirmishes, battles, and important
connoissar ces, from the bombardment of Sumter 10

returns OF the losses that could be obtained The re-
suit, as figured up from the table, is:
Killed. Wourdod Prisoners. Total
Union forces... $50 2,0tl 2G4 5.3s1

But this shows greatly to the disadvantage of the
Union side, since the losses Of the Rebels Ia many
important actions are unknown, while the prisoners
Oh the Union side are largely made up Of the troops
surrendered by Twiggss treaehery in Texas.
