THE HARMONY OF THE DIFFERENT DE-
SPATCHES.

At first sight would appear that contradiction rela-
tive to the force under COL Geary shown by the different
dispatches In Col Gearys report to Gen. Banks, as
ceved by telegraph he is made say that he had but
four hundred men-at least II Is reported from Wash
ngton Another account says that six companies
engaged three Of which from the Third Wisconsin
regiment. As learn from private that three
companies Of the Thirteenth Massachusetts, regiment
certainly in the contest may conclude that the six
companies did not include the detachment the Twenty
eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers COL Gearys report to
Washington says he had one thousand with him.
Doubtless the three companies from Wisconsin and the
three from MISUNDERSTANDING six hundred men,
were Hrs engaged with the rebels when Col Geary with
his "four hundred, were out foraging; and hearing
the firing the gallant Colonel ordered his small command
70 go the assistance OF tho other companies and thus
made tho full force up to thousand, although only
four hundred Of his own command were engaged.
