a portion OF the field where Ithe crops were

THE NEGRO ON THE FENCE

Harken TO what now relate,
And on its moral mediate.
A wagoner, with grist for mill,
Was stalled at bottom of hill,
A brawney negro passed that way,
So stout he might lion slay. ..tl,
'1'll put my shoulders to the wheels
If you'll bestir your horses heels !"
So said the African. and made - ...s
As if to render timely aid. -. ...f
"No." cried the wagner, "Stand back
I'll take no help from one that's blackl"
And, TO the negro's great surprise,
Flourished his whip before his eyes. NJ
Our darkey quick "skedaddled" thence,
And sat upon the wayside fence.
Then went the wagner to work,
And lashed his horses to a jerk;
But all his efforts were in vain ,p
With shout, and oath, and whip and rein.
The wheels budged not single inch,
And tighter grew the wagouers pinch.
Directly there came by child 7u ..i
With toiling step and vision wild. i ob
Father" said she, with hunger dread,
eve famish for the want of bread.n
Then spake the negro: "If you will, yrr
"Ill help your horses to the mill"
The wagner, in grevious plight, .t.9j
Now swore and'aved with all his might,
Because the negro wasn't white; a
And plainly ordered him go ab
To a certain place that's down below.
Then rushing came the wagoners wife,
To save her own and infants life.
BY robbers was their homestead sacked,
And smoke and blood their pillage tracked
Here stops the tale. When last observed.
The wagner was still conserved" % @
In mud at bottom of the hill, 1855
But bent on getting TO the mill.
And hard by, not a rod from thence,
The negro sat upon the fence.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 80.
The following report Of the victory of An
tietam has been forwarded to headquarters o
the army by G n. Mcclellan:
.t..,s NEAR SnARPsDURG, }
Sept. 2Olh-l: 40 p. NJ
To Major General H. W. Halleck:
have the honor to report the following
as some Of the ,esulls of the battles of Soutl
Mountain and Antietam: AT South Noun
tain our loss was 443 dead, 1906 wounde
and 76 missing--iotal 2,0lO killed, Gale
wounded and | l,O43 missing-total l2,469.-
Total loss in the two battles, I4,794.
The loss f the rebels in the two battles
rs near as can be asccrtained from the nun
ber o. their dead found upon the field and
from other date will net fall short Of the fol.
lowing estimate: Maj. Davis, Assistant To-
spector General, who superintends the burial
of the dead, reports about 1000 rebels buried
upon the field Of Antietam by our troops (;
previous to this, however, the rebels and buri.
cd many of their own dead upon the distant
portion Of the battle field. which they occupi-
ed after the battle-probably at least 500.-
The loss of the rebels at South Mountain can
not be ascertained with accuracy, bat as our
troops drove them from the commencement
of the action, and as a much greater number
OF their dead was seen on the field than Of
our own men, il is net unreasonable to sup
pose that their loss was greater than ours
Estimating their killed at 500, the total rebels
killed in the two battles would be 1000
According to the ratio of our own killed and
wounded, this would mske their loss in wound.
ed 1912.
AS nearly rs can be determined mt this
time, the number of prisoners taken by our
troops in tie two battles will at the lowest
estimate, amount to 5000. The full returns
will, no 6oubt, show larger number Of these.
About 200 are wounded. This gives me
rebel loss in killed, wounded and prisoners, of
25,242. 1t will be observed that this does
not include their siragglers, the number Of
WHOM is said by citizens 10 be very larg,. 1t
may be safely concluded, therefore, that the
rebel army lost at least 10000 of this best
troops from the time our troops first encoun-
tered the enemy in Maryland until he was
driven back into Virginia. ~
We captured Is guns, caissous and lin
bers, 2 field forges, 2 caissos bodies, 80 colors
and sigual flag.
We have not lost a single gun or COLOR
On the battle field of Antrietam $4,000
small arms were collected, besides the large
number carried off by citizens and those dis.
tributed on the ground by recruits and other
unarmed men arriving Immediately after the
baltic. w
AT South Mountain no collection of small
arms was made, owing to the haste Of the
pursuit from that point. Four Luudrcd were
taken from the opposite side oftbe Potomac.
