Correspondence Of The n. Y. Tribune
Or THK RAPiDAN, Aug. Is lcbz
To-day l have ridden up from Cupepper Court.
House, having crossed the battlefield and gathered
some facts from which, i think, cin estimate
approximately the Union losses. The figures have
been set by some of the papers at. 800. believe
sions directly involved. Here are my data:
Wiamss Division, on our right, lost one.balf of
its officers and men i'll killed, wounded and missing !
Crawford's Brigade going into action with 50 CON
missoued officers and 769 enlisted men, ard couiog
ont with 81 commissioned officers and III enlisted
men minus. Gordons Brigade Jared but little bet
ter
Augur's Division, on our left, opposed By Rebel
troops under Gen. Branch of y. c., went into battle
with 200 men, and retired n the evening with
o;al loss OF over l0o or about 40 per cent oil the
whole.
The Rebel losses are immense, probably quite az
heavy as our-the horrible accuracy Of artillery
reaplng more than Eweils trap caught. They, how
ever, took much the larger numler Of prisoners.
For tie forces engaged aud the time occupied, this
liz UNIQUE sonably the most severe battle Of The war.
Tie ratio OF killed to wounded was fearfuly and
unusuaIy great.
Que OF the Rebel prisoners-a major Of Missis-
sppi imen-states that If orr side lad not made
the attack and when II did, jas kson would, him
self, have made IL within halt an hour.
"S,ouewHll'' was confident and eager. lie made
4 boastiul speech TO his men on saturday morning
prisoners say-promisng to lead them straight 20
Washington, and swearing 10 sleep that night III Gull
Pepper. Ills ability was not equal to his plane, Tor
alter striking bloody blow, and almost annihiatiug
one OF divisions he Is fugitive from Justice,
flying toward Richmond, and Burning the bncges
behind lin.
The Rebels threw their dead into bitches and pts,
and rode across the field to-day, many arms and
legs pfOtfuded from tie Shallow graves, AID, in
some cases, bodies lay almost wholly above ground,
slckening Witnesses OF the barbarian ofwar, cape
(iaily oil a war OF treason.
Tie Connecticut 5th, the pride Of General Bankss
corps, and AZ brave ne the Old Guard" went into
battle VITA twenry-hree commissioned officers, and
came out with only FIRE Ii is "a noticeable fact
that these five rore no skOaido-straps, and were
dressed as privafe..
