ARYLAND, FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE ~, 1852

We shall publish full list of its casual
ties tomorrow.
What their intentions or designs may
be, are shaded in mystery--no move
ment betrays the secret their aeronauts
frequently ascend for observations, but
their glasses we know could never dis
cover or never divine below, and con-
scious of our Generals anxiety to silent
ly and unobservedly prosecute their
plans, we do not desire even to hispei
what we imagine to be their int, Ations
but leave them to time and circumstance
for mature development and success
Firing of a desultory character was going
on all day yesterday, and towards even
ing heavy guns were heard towards thu
river.
Affairs Yesterday.
Movements along our whole line yes.
terday were of an uninteresting, desul.
tory and monotonous character Since
the fierce combats of Saturday and Sun.
day, little has transpired worthy of more
than passing attention.
On Sunday evening our forces down
the Williamsburg road fell back to the
original position of Saturday morning,
viz: the town side Of Barker's farm and
early yesterday morning the enemy took
possession of the vacated position but
where their camps. stores, field works
and cannon had stood, all was changed
Tents, baggage, stores, &c, had all dis
appeared, and the foe found naught but
a deserted scene, wildly adorned with
desolation and waste. Early in the
morning the enemy threw out strong
pickets toward our front, had cannon
pointing on the road, yet betook them
selves to burying their dead, scattered
far and wide in all directions; and al
though heavy details were made for the
purpose, the work had not ceased late in
the afternoon Of yesterday
The Forces on the Thirty first and
First.
We have heard various estimates placed
upon the forces that fought the late bat
| ties in front Of this city At first it was
said that the enemy had thrown over
about thirty thousand men, and that all
our army was about to fall upon them
Why that was not done, we are not sol
der enough to know.
The Wig, of yesterday, says sirat
only twenty thousand of our men fought,
while the enemy depIoycd a force Of
! fifty thousand against US. From other
sources we are informed that we had
thirty thousand men, while the enemy
had ffty-iyo thousand on the field.
From all the information we can gather,
it seems certain that they were nearly, if
not quite, two to one.
Our loss was heavy, Of course, where
we had to storm entertainments 50 strong
and so situated But it has beer much
exaggerated. We learn that two thou
sand five hundred, killed and wounded
would cover it all Considering the
forces engaged, this is not heavy loss
at least in comparison with European
battles. There was, we learn, very
unusual proportion of wounded to swell
the list, and Of these a larger proportion
than usual received wounds in the ARM
and hands, and will recover.
