WASHINGTON, Sept. sO.-Tbe following re-
port of the victory of Antietam has been for.
warded to Headquarters of the Army by Gen.
Mcclellan:
NEAR SHARPsBUGH, Sept. 29, l:30 Pm.
To Major General II. w Halleck, Commander
in. Chief U. s Army:
have the honor to report the following as
some of the results of the battle of South
Mountain and Antietam. At South Mountain
our loss was 443 dead, $50 wounded, and rs
missing; total, 2,3l5. At Antietam our loss
was 2,0lO killed, 0,416 wounded, and l,O44
missing; total, l2,46s. Total loss in the two
battles, IA, ,794.
The loss of the rebels in the two battles, as
near as can be sscsrtsined from other data, will
not fall short of the following estimate. Major
Davis, Assistant Inspector. General, who super.
intended the burial Of the dead, reports buried
upon the field of Ant:etam by our troops -.
Previous to this, however, the rebels nave
buried many of their own dead upon the distant
battle field which they occupied after the battle,
probably at least 5000. The loss of the re-
bells at South Mountain cannot be sscertained
with accuracy, but as our troops drove them
from tbe commencement of the action, and as
q much greater number of their dead was seen
on the field than of our own men, it is not
unreasonable to suppose that their loss was
greater than ours Estimating their killed at
500, the total number of rebels killed in the
two battles would be 1000. According to the
ratio of our own killed and wounded, this would
make their loss in wounded 18, 742, as nearly
as can be determined at this time. The number
of prisoners taken by our troops in the two
battles will, at the lowest estimate, amount 70
5000. The full returns will no doubt show a
larger number. OF these about 1900 are
wounded. This gives me a rebel loss in killed,
wounded and prisoners 25,542 1t will be OBJ.
served that this does not include strsgglers,
the number of whom is said to be, by citizens,
very large. 1t may be safely concluded that
the rebel army lost at least $4,000 of their
best troops, from the time our troops first en-.
countered the enemy in Maryland until be was
driven back into Virginia. We captured l3
guns, caissons, g. imbers, 2 field forges, 2
csisson bodies, 80 colors and single flag
We have not lost a single gun OF color on
the battle field Of Antietam. $4,000 small
arms were collected, besides the large number
carried off by citizens, and those distributed on
the ground to recruits and other unarmed men
arriving Immediately after the battle at South
Mountain. j No calculation of small arms was
made, owing to the haste Of the pursuit from
that point. 400 were taken from the opposite
side Of the Potomac. -.....s sg

BALTlNoRE, Sept 29.-The following from the
Americans letter, dated Camp Of the 9th N. 7.
Zouaves, near Sharpsburg, to-day, says:
I The Headquarters Of Mcclellan we're removed
yesterday to q point three miles nearer Harper's
Ferry. This movement may mean something or
it may be for convenience, 1t is regarded here
with some Interest. :" 'i
Harper's Ferry is now held in large force by
eur troops, evidently regarding it as an impor--
tant position in the Army of the Potomac.
All indications here bespeak renewal Of ac-
tivity on the part of the army.
Rebel accounts of the late battle create some
disgust but more amusement among the officers
and soldiers at Williamsport.
No active operations on either side. The Re-
bells continue to keep their pickets on the Vir.
ginia side of the river. Our troops do the same
thing at this side. As general thing, as else
wnere, there is no firing between the pickets on
either side. 9o

Polish WRpDINd.-As soon as the parties
were properly placed, the service commenced,
and the noble harmonies which had filled the
church died away. The ceremony was simple,
differing in nothing from the usual form used in
all Roman Catholic countries, except that instead
of plain gold circlet being placed on the brides
finger, as a symbol of eternity, and of the inten-
ton of both parties to keep forever the solemn
covenant into which they have entered before
God, and Of which it is the pledge, there was an
exchange Of rings, The priest paused in the
service when he came to the words, " With this
ring" &C., and then one Of the bridesmaids
came tmdly and gracefully forward, and placed
two rings on the open book which he held in
his hand He took them up, one after another,
in his right hand, Offering up solemn prayers,
and pronouacing blessing over them. He then
gave the small one, which had engraved on il
the bridegrooms name Mauritius MoohnAcki,
and the date of the year, to the bridegroom
and the large one, having the name Jahasie Ial-
viauski, to the bride. For Que moment, while
he pronounced u few words ia solemn tone,
they retained them, and then Jahasie, lifting
her eyes to the hrdegroom's, az ii to gather
strength aud firmness for the last solemn act,
they exchanged them-the small one, having
/ his name, shone on her finger-while the larger
| ring encircled his. Immediately on entering

removed by a married lady, and replaces by
cap ornamented with 0range-blossOms, .ntrely
concealing her beautiful tresses. Meantime,

Who have alwaye thought first of whatever we've

Who have scarce icigued our Eagle the slightest

Should fall flat to adore an American Ram?
There have always been Rams! Father Adam

Found some Rams in his garden long time ago
Iu the raising Of Rams Able took much delight
And n Ram was concerned in the very hrst light
Aud tue first Ram aaoat, we may further remark
Was the Ram which old Noah took into the Ark
Then it seems, there were Rams which were
tied up in stalls,
Driven out to do battle by butting down walls
Alexander, Mareeus, and Sylla, we fnd,
Had Il great many Rams of this desperate kind,
And when Titus cucampcd mid Jerusalcms

1t is said that the Hebrews saw nothing hut

After these there came lams not inelining to

Rams resembling good Joshna's utheonites'
Which were ndrawera OF water ydrauhe

Quite domestic, aud commonly found with their

May such Rams still continue to thrive and in

With the limitless Ram m-iicationa of peace
Thus, we lianl-b.e along througo the cycles OF

Finding History's Ram-p page is rather aublime !

Which is shaking the world with Rampant

which is uuquesionable, we learn that the latest
nayioes from Mcclellan received in Washington,
nm to noon yesterday, were to the date OF Satnr-
day, at . O'Clock =. NJ. Up to that time he had
successfully carried out plan which he had
pointed out some time ago, as one which he was
very likely to put in execution, should crcum-
stances render it expedient 10 do so. That plan
was to swing his right wing toward the rear in
clnding the divisions of Fltz john Porter, Hook
er and Hancock, being all the forces which lay
north of llalf way between BOttom's Bridge anu
Nav Rridre. while at the same time he advanced
his left wing toward the James river, and open
ed communication with the gunboats.
The attack OF the enemy in great force on the
right wing, last Thursday, rendered II expedient
TO resort to this strategic movement sooner that
was intended. OF course, this change opposition
necessitated a change OF the base of operations

be briefly stated Ii we are not mistaking, ere
many hours his mile and half OF steam trans
ports may relieve his weary soldiers of marching
to Richmond, by landing them within easy mp
proach to the rebel capital, after the gnnboats
sblll have sufficiently smoothed the way thither.
ln thus returning to the original plan of tho
campaign, frustrated for time by the presence
of the dreaded Merrimac, and extrcating our
gallant army from the maarious swamps Of the
Chckahominy, placing them in the pure atmos
phere and on the high grounds Of the James
river, a great advantage has been gained. OF
course this has not been obtained without IA
heavy cost of life but the enemy has equally,
if not more severly suffered, at our hands, and
we trust that the time has come for making the
campaign against Richmond "short, sharp, and
decisive. - Cor. Wy. Tribune of lussdag.
