Total l2,4O9
Loss in the two battles IA, 194
Mcclellan then expatiates upon the
rebel loss thus:
The rebels in the two battles, as
near as can be a%scertained, from the
number Of their dead found upon the
field, and from other data, will not fall
short Of the following statement:
Major Davis, assistant Inspector
General, who s%uperintends the burial
of the dead, reports about 5000 rebels
buried upon the field Of Anteitam by
our troops. Previous to this, however,
the rebels had buried many Of their
~own dead upon the distant portion of
the battle field which they occupied
after the battle, probably, at least 500.
The losses of the rebels at South
Mountain cannot be ascertained with
accuracy; but as our troops continual
iy drove them from the commence.
ment of the action, and as a much
greater number of their dead were seen
on the field than Of our own men, it is
not UNI casonable to suppose that their
loss was greater than ours. Estimating
their killed at 500, tho total rebel loss
in the two bat tIes would be fourthous.
and. According to the ratio Of our
W killed and wounded, this would
make their loss in wounded 1912.
AS nearly us can be ascertained at
this time, the number Of prisoners tn.
ken by our troops in the two battles
will, at the lowest estimation, amount
to 5000. Tho full returns will no
doubt show a large number. OF these
about 1900 are wounded.
This gives the rebel loss in killed,
wounded and prisoners, 25,542: 1t will
be obsel we'd that this does not include
straggIers, the number Of whom is said
by citizens to be large.
1t may be safely concluded therefore,
that the rebel army lost at least 10000
Of their best troops. during their cam
paign in Maryland.
From the time Jul troops first en-
countcred the enemy in Maryland, un.
til he was driven back into Virginia

We have not lost a single gun OF
color. On the battle field Of Antietam
$4,000 small arms were collected, be.
sides the larger number carried off by
citizens and those distributed on the
ground to the recruits and other un.
armed men arriving Immediately after
the battle.
At South Mountain no collection O.
small arms was made, owing to the
haste of pursuit from that point; 800
were taken on the opposite side Of thu
Potomac.

A GREAT BATTLE.
Union Army in Tennessee Victorious

One Of the greatest and bloodiest
battles Of modern times was fought
near Savannah, Tenn, on Sunday and
Monday, April 9th and 7th. The reb-
els, to the number Of $4,000, under
Beauregard and Johnson, attacked
our forces, numbering $4,000 under
Gen. Grant, near Pittsburgh Landing,
early on Sunday morning. Gen. Bu-
ellis column had not then arrived. The
battle lasted the entire day, and was
renewed on Monday morning and con-
tinued till four o'clock, p. NJ, when,
by reinforcements from Buel, the reb-
els were driven from the field. They
fed in utter confusion towards Corinth,
Miss, pursued by large force of our
cavalry. The slaughter on both sides
was terrible. Our loss in killed, woun
ded and missing is estimated at abou,
5000. The rebel loss is not ascer
tained, but must have been far great
er than ours.
The advance guard Of the rebels
made their appearance in front of oul
camp at daylight, Sunday morning
Gen. Prentiss advanced to the attack
with 5000 Missourians, when the rebe
forces Immediately moved forward, at
tacking Prentiss' left wing, pouring in
volley after volley Of musketry and
riddling our camps with grape, canis
ter and shell. Our forces were soon
formed in line of battle, extending
nearly four miles, and by the time We
were prepared to receive them the reb
els had turned their fire upon the
left and centre of Sherman's division
and had driven our men back from
their camps. They also brought up ;
fresh force and opened fire Oh our lief
wing under Gen. McClernand. Thi.
fire was returned with terrible eflec
and determined spirit by both infantry
and artillery. Gen. Hurlbut's divis
ion was thrown forward to support thu
centre, when desperate conflict Ell
