/. LOSSES AT TIE BATTLE OF AxrIErAM.

LOSSES AT THE BATTLE OF ANTIETAM,
1t Is now well asccra ned that the rebel LOSSES AZ
Ahtclan much exceeded ours. Up to Sunday night
| three thousand rebel dead had been buried bv our
men, and it is known that the rebels themselves
bur'ed large number previous to their retreat int,
Virginia. At last accounts between six and seven
hundred dead remained on the field unburried. The
rebels also left about five thousand of their wounded
within our lines. Their total loss cannot be much
less th4n Eve thousand killed and fifteen tbousaud
wounded; while our loss is probably about twelve
hundred KILLED. six thousand wounded, and eight
hundred missing. A prominent member of Gen.
McCltl,an's Staff states that we have CAPTURED in
The battles Of Maryland thirty five stand of colors
sixteen cannon, and between thirty.fivo and forty
thousand stand ofarms. Several thousand stand of
arms Still remain on the battlefield of Antctam, un
collected for want of lime.
1t has been semi-cficialy stated that our less in
the battle OF Antietam nine thousand two hundred
and twenty killed, wounded and missing. and that
the loss Of the enemy, judging from the appearance
OF the blttsheld and the number of their dead not
buried, must have exceeded fifteen thousand.
The rebel loss of officers in the late battle has

What thew think in Richmond,

III last weeks paper We pooIieEed an
extract from the speech of Hon. JonN
EAy BUREN delivered recently in New
York, and in another column of this num-
Der Of the Pilot we furnish our readers
with additional sentiments from the same
address Of this prominent New York
Statesman. His whole speech has been
extensively copisd North and South, and
IS generally sustained By the conservative
people of the former portion Of the coun>
try, and by the Union loving citizens Of
tie latter. Br the Abolitionists of this
section, and by the fire, eaters of rebeldom,
however, his remarks are not so well APP
preciatei, as will be seen by the following
article from the Richmond Dispatch, Of
the Goth irst.
. In the late speech of John Van Buren,
published IN this paper, that gentleman
insists on the taking Of Richmond as in
dispensabe TO the consent of any party in
the North 10 the making of peace. With
the ccnsGmmation Of that event he de
ciares that lie would De willing to call a
convention Of all the states. North and

leaving the Union, then ne would say to

table 10 a majority of the northern people.
We cannot see why Mr.. Van Buren, should
insist upon the capture of Richmond as the
essential preliminary Of such a ?acifca>
ton. Does not the same humanity which
he tells Us would plead for the cessation
OF the war after that event, plead for it
more strongly now? If the great struggle
Of the war in his opinion is that which
settles the fate Of the confederate capital,
mus 1t not involve more suffering and
death than any subsequent minor struggle?
let him bear in mind the enormous losses
which Mcclellan has already sustained in
euGeavo-jng to take Richmond, and an
swer what object is gained by taking this
capital, wortiy such sacrifices, if, after
they are made, the very end for which
!hey are made is to be relinquished The
taking Of Richmond, as a means to an end
has in 1t some appearance Of reason but
the taking Of Richmond as the end, and
which is to be relnquished as soon as
1t is attained, does not strike us as in con
sonance with the logic and spirit of the
invasion. 1t Is possible, however, that
