reports Of our loss or captured in these yari-
ous engagements. Many gallant officers have
been Killed or wounded. OF the general Of
flcess, EWell, Trinb Taliaferro, Fields, Jen-
kins and Malone, have been reported wound
and Gadbe7y, killed. About 1000 prisoners
have already been paroled, about the same
number Of small arms collected from the field,
and thirty pieces Of cannon captured, besides
a number Of wagons, ambulances, sc. a
ground. For want Of transportation valuable
stores had to be destroyed as captured, while
the enemy, at their various dtpots, are re-
ported to have burned many millions Of prop
erty in their retrcut. Nothing could surpass
the gallantry and,endurance Of the troops, who
have cheertully borne every danger and hard
ship, both on the battlefield aud march.
l have the horor to be, very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
r. E. LEE, General.
