Especial Dispatch to the cleyelsnd L'adsr.l
WAsHNsTOS, July 90.
We have received this afternoon reports Of
the estimates made BY the rebels Of the bat
tie of Sunday, They report one to two
thousand killed. They also state that they
took over eleven hundred prisoners, forty
two cannon, one hundred wagons and fifteen
thousand small arms. This last number Is
much exaggerated, according to the estimates
in our Quartermasters Department,
Col. COrcoran and Congressman Rly, about
whom there has been great SOlicitude, are
prisoners at Manassas. sra aa
The rebels report terrible slaughter among
their troops, especially in the South Carroll
mans who were in frOnt Of the battle. It
was right that the rebel sons Of tais 6rss
rebel State shosld suffer most. 5...
But 1900 rebel troops were in the battle,
but they were supported BY reserve of
5000.
Gen. Horton, of Virginia, was killed.
The most Of the three months troops have
lel for home, and all OF them are going ss
fast as possible. A large majority Of them
announce their determination to re-enlist.
Trains run regularly between Washington

Ten regiments are at Baltimore ready to
march here or elsewhere where wanted.
A new Department has bsen establiShed-
that of North Eastern Virginia, including
the section now commanded BY Gen. Nc
Dowell, and Washington, to which are added
Prince George, Montgomery and Frederick
counties in Maryland, to be under command
Of Gen. Mcclellan.

legheny and Washington counties, Maryland,

An expedition from Fortress Monroe re-
suited in the burning Of ten rebel vessels and

Another instance Of the barbsrity of the
rebels has been narrated by surgeon who
was directly interested in It upon the field.

some of whose limbs he had just snpusa-
ted-to attend to the wants Of an officer,

ginia to-day. Col. Porter, at ArlingtoE
Heights, has seven or eight regiments undel
his Orders.
The rebel scouts extend this side of Fall
Church and nearly to Alexandria. They
have shot number of our piekets.
/ The house to-day hsd an earnest debate
Hpon the Direct Taxation bill The chis
objection is that it taxes only real estate, sc
that the millionaire may escapsif his wealth
is in bank vaults, while the poor farmer il
taxed. The North Western Members ar,
/ mostly against it. Ii is evident that san'
! plan 7os Ia1Atl0n must be adopted. Gov.
ernment now has a nearly empty treasury
notwithstanding Congress voted $500, O,OOo,.
900. The money for the interest must b
forthcoming.

Sufficient credit has not been awarded il
the reports of the battle, to Col. Davis brig
ade, in Col. Niles division. He was upoE
the extreme left on this side of the Run, ant
behaved with the greatest bravery and skill
in preventing flank movements on the par
of the enemy. Col. Davis took Col. Niles
command during the latter part of the day
by Gen. McDowsll's order, Col. Miles being
too drunk to do his duty. 8.
