Washington this forenoon His opportuni-
ties for learning the damage received by
the enemy in the recent seven days battle

cd and otherwise rendered hors de- combat
$4,000 or, in other words that their loss
was about half their whole army IN and about
Richmond. They refused to receive a flag

the fate Of Union officers and others sup
posed to be wounded and in their hands,
thus evincing great disinclntion to letting
Gen. Mcclellan obtain any inkling, however
obscure, of their real condition since the ter
mination of the battle.

Gen. Hentzleman, Sumner, Keyes and Fit7
