Dates Sept. 80. OmciaI Report Of the Battle
of AnIicGnnh.
WAsmSGTOS, September 30.-The following Off
cial report has been received by Gen. HaIleck At
South Mountain our loss was $40 killed, $50
wounded and T6 missing. At Antietam, our loss
was killed 2,6lO, wounded 9,4l6, missing 1,O4i.
Maj Davis, Assistant Inspector General, who super
intended the b rial Of the dead, reports abaut 1900
rebels buried on the field Of Autietam by our troops.
Previous 70 this, however, the rebels buried many Of
their dead upon distant portions OF the battlefield,
which they occupied after the battle, probably TO the
number OF 800.
The loss Of the rebels at South Mountain cannot
be obtained wish accuracy, but as our troops drove
them from the commencement Of the action, and rs
n much greater number of their dead was seen on
the field than our own, 1t is not unreasonable TO sup
pose their loss greater than ours. Estimating their
killed at 800, the total number of rebels killed in the
two battles was 1000. According TO the ratio of our
own killed and wounded, this would make their loss
IN wounded 10, 700, as nearly as can be determined
The number of prisoners taken by our troops in
two battles, at lowest estimate, was 300; Of these
LOO were wounded. This gives the rebel loss in
killed, wounded and prisoners at 25,542. 1t will be
observed this does not include straggleTs, the num-
Der Of whom Is said by citizens to have been ut large.
Ii may be safely concluded that the rebel army lost
at lea I 10000 Of their best troops from the time our
troops first encountered the enemy in Maryland until
they were driven into Virginia. We captured Is
guns, Z caissOns, 9 timbers, 2 field FORCES aud 2
caIsson bodies, 80 colors and l signal flag.
We did not lose a single gun or color on the bat
tie field of Antietam. 1900 small arms [of the
enemy'sl were carried Off by citizens at South
Mountain. No collection Of small arms was made
during the haste OF pursuit from that point.
