NEW YoRK, July l9.-The Secretary of War
SAYS there are more than so of our men killed
and wounded, among them FIVE captains and six
lieutenants.

by the Zouaves and Massachusetts 5th. There
is no doubt that the enemy is now falling back,
and the rumor that Manassas Junction Ia occu
pied is perhaps only a little premature.
