nshed an official report of the battle of Perry
Vile Ky in which he claims "A great victory
which he says only for the approach of night
would have been complete by driving our troops
from their position.
The Richmond Dispatch of the oath has the
following:
Bragg's army has retired to a safe position
which il would be imprudent 10 state.
Gen Bragg has secured 400 wagons loaded
with provisions which have been br ught away
in safety with his army. He lost $500 barrels
of pork which was lett at Lexington and fell into
the hands CT the Yankees.
Great dissatisfaction was felt among the Off
of Bragg's army at the falling back and
many of them literally wept when the order was
given.
I he conclusion TO be drawn from all the news
in our possession, continues the Dispatch. are
that Bragg has either met such overwhelming
force OF the enemy and successfully retreated be

he has been too timd and made forced marches
and fought and weariei his troops for an object
which he had not daring enough to accomplish.
