Officiai Report OF the Late battles.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30-The following report
of the victory of Antietam has been forwarded
10 headquarters OF the army by Gen. Mcclellan:
NEAR SHARPsBURs, Sept. %. l:3OP. VI.
Mai Gen Halleck, Commander in Chief:
have the honor to report the following as
some of the results of the battles of South
Mountain and Antietam. At South Mountain
our loss was 443 dead. l 500 wounded, and &c
missing: total, 23l5 At Antietam our loss was
2,0lO killed. 9, 4l6 wounded. and .O43 missing;
total IL ,469. Total loss in the two battles,
l4.794
The loss of the rebels in the two battles. as
near as can be ascertained from the number OF
their dead found upon the field and from other
data will not fall short of the following estimate
of Major Davis. Assistant Inspector General, who
superntends the burial OF the dead He reports
1900 rebels buried upon the field of Antetam by
our troops. Previous to this. however. the rebels
had buried MANY of their own dead upon the dis
tant portion of the battle field, which they occu-
pied after the battle, probably at least 500.
The loss of the rebels at South Mountain can
not be ascertained with accuracy, but as our
troops drove them from the commencement OF
the action. and as much greater number OF their
dead was seen on the field than of our men, it is
not unreasonable To suppose that their loss was
greater than ours. Estimating their killed at QUO,
the total rebel killed in the two battles would be
1000, according to the ratio of our own killed and
wounded. This would make their loss in wound
ell le,7i2, as nearly can be determined at this
time The number of prisoners taken by our
troops in the two battles, at the lowest estimate
amounts 10 5000. The full returns will no doubt
show a larger number. About 300 are wound
ed. This gives me a rebel loss in killed, wounded
and missing of % ,542.
Ii will be obserbed that this does not include
their straggle-s; the number is said to be by citi
ZeDs very large.
1t may be safely concluded. therefore, that the
rebel army lost at least 10000 of their best
troops from the time our troops first encountered
the enemy in Maryland until he WAS driven back
into Virginia.
We captured thirteen guns, seven caissons and
nine limbers two field FORCES, two caisson bodies
three colors and one signal flag
We have not lost a single gun or a color.
On the battlefield OF Antietam 1000 small
arms were collected besides the large number car
ried off By citizens and those distributed on the
ground to recruits and other unarmed men ar
irving on the ground after the battle.
At South Mountain no collection of small arms
made owing TO the haste OF the pursuit from
that point Four hundred were taken from the
opposite side OF the Potomac.
