our troops, though at first victorious, have
been severely beaten. The fight COM
menced on Sunday, and lasted nearly all
day, and was desperately contested, and
very bloody. Some accounts place the
loss of the federal forces at 1900, while
others make it as low as 600 A great
many are supposed to be taken prisoners.
The loss of the rebels, from their own
showing, is about 5000.
The federal troops returned to their in
trenchments on the Potomac The imme-
date cause of the defeat seems to have
been panic among the teamsters which
extended to the troops.
The rebels had about $4,000 troops on
the field, while the federals forces num-
bered only about 10000.

overwhelmed and the enemy was driving
in full force our reserves
Immediately the unarmed soldiers and
Transfers ran and spread the alarm at
Centerville, when the order was given for
