TIE Losses IN THE RECENT BArrLEs.-The
recent battles in Maryland have been wonder
fully and sadly fatal to Federal officers high
in rank Among the killed are Gems Reno,
Mansfield and Meagher, three Of our bravest
and most able officers, and among the wound
ed are Generals Hooker, Sedgwick, Rodman,
Richardson and Dana. Many commissioned
officers of lower rank are also among the kill
ed, to make out full and accurate list Of
whom, and of all the killed in these battles,
will require some days.
The number Of our losses, in killed and
wounded, is estimated at from 10000 to 90.
900, and that Of the rebels is believed to be
much greater. After the smoke and confa-
sion of these eventful conflicts shall have dis
appeared, the world will be appalled, by the
figures showing the extent Of the carnage
that marked these few days of blood, death

~ Adjutant Charles L. Byam, of the oath
regiment, (son of Col. Byam,) though only
II years of age, has already seen sanguinary
service in this rebellion. He was a member
of the 9Th Iowa, and was severely wounded
at the battle of Shiloh. He was compelled
to lay upon the field from Sunday noon until
Monday evening, suffering severely for water
and having no food from Saturday evening
till Tuesday, and no medical attention till the
afternoon of Tuesday. During Sunday night
he was in the hands of the rebels, who rob-
bed him Of everything he possessed. He
begged them to give him a drink of water,
but all refused, till finally young rebel lieu
tenant happened along, who asked him where
he was from, and learning that he was from
Iowa remarked that he had also resided in this
State, and kindly brought him = canteen of
water and supplied him with coat and
blanket taken from the dead bodies of two Of
his comrades. Young Byam's wound was in
the leg below the knee. The bones were
completely shattered, and seven pieces of
bone have been taken away. He is now,
however, able to walk, and on Sabbath last
ofiiciated on dress parade as Adjutant. We
wish the noble young hero's life may be
spared to enjoy the blessings of peace.

ing and marched until five in the evening
with only one canteen of dirty water taken
from the river. Lieut.. Magoon was utterly
exhausted by the way, as was also Captain
Marvin. Col Croker, who was commanding
the brigade, is greatly censured for his inhu-
manity to the men. T.. -..-.
1t seems that the Sixteenth Iowa was sent
down to Iuka on the night of the 10th, but
were driven back several miles by Price, who
burned up the train. The Sixteenth finally
rallied and held its position till Gen. Grant
arrived with his army of 10000. The Iowa
Seventh and Eleventh were with Grant, but
as this letter was written previous to the re-

were in the fight.

WASHINGTON, Sept %.
Telegraphic advices from McClellan's army
state that everything remains quiet at the
ford near Sheppardstown. The forces on
the opposite sides of the river are watching
each other. The rebels keep their men out Of
sight, but occasionally horseman makes his
appearance on the opposite bluff, and, after a
brief observation, disappears. 1t is thought
that the rebels are lying in wait in the hope
that our troops may be induced to- cross and
fall into their ambush.

the Northwest got the advantage, being towed
