hundred and fifty seven, and 1t is reported that
more are on their way. The, actual casualties
to the enemy, on the field and In the river, will
doubtless reach the number previously etated
on good authority. We 90 not, however, place
any confidence In the representations made py
prisoners In regard to ther numerical strength.
Our own list OF killed and wounded has not
besn accurately ascertained, but We learn from
persons who were In the immediate vicinity OIL
the fight, that the frst statement OF three hum
dred was an exaggeration. l3s,-
Colonel John h. Serugge, OF Fauquier, who
arrived yesterday from Lsesburgh, informs US
that the fighting on both sides was terrific, and
that the enemy contested every inch OF ground
with our forces. The opposing armies were at
times brought into close proximity. The yam
KEGS once charged upon our men, but were re-
pulsed BY vohey OF musketry, which was iol-
lowed up by counter charge OF great bravery
and gallantfy.
The death OF General Baker, VINO command
ed the Federals In the battle, is confirmed Dy q
statement Of prisoner, one OF BAKERS "Cali-
fornia" regiment. he says that he was very
near him when he tell, pierced through the
head with bullet Ihis man aiinues 70 the
circumstance with apparently sincere regret,
and manifests considerable respect Tor MS
memory.
