Southampton, it is said, will be the head
quarters of the ruscarora for year or two.
1t is understood that the orders of the Tus-
carora are never to lose sight OF the Nash
vile for a longer period than is absolutely
necessary to blockade her in Southamp-
ton, and if she once leaves to chase her as
long as she is at sea. IL is thought that the
Tuscarors would not have such particular
charge of a feebly armed ship like the
Nashville, when it is known where dan
gerous ship like the Sumter is, il some other
Federal man-oi war were not on the look
out for the daring priyateer.
At st. Thomas the Federal man-Of-war
Quaker City would hold no communication
with any one. Even the English Admi
ralty agents were not allowed on board.
This conduct was pursued. it was UNDER
stood, in order that the movements OF the
Quaker City in search of the Confederate
privatecr Sumter might be kept secret.

Capt 0'Bourke's Battery, aud the celebra-
ted Ringgold Cavalry. The Brigade was
marched up piece above the camp ground
and drawn up in line for review. After
waiting good while the reviewing officers
arrived upon the ground. The Brigade
was reviewed by Generals Milroy, Mulligau
and Kelley. The review passed OF very
quarters, it being almost dark when they
have tried, but in vain, to find out
what disposition is TO be made of the troops
now concentrated at this point. What lit

Among the force which recently arrived

''P. W.aA.," the correspondent of the
Savannah RePubiico1i, gives the following
as what he believes 10 have been the los
ses of the confedorates in the battles
named:
Our loss in killed and wounded at Fort
Donelson may be roughly estimuted Mt
1900: at Roanoke and on the North
Carolina coast, 600; at Elkhorn, $500 Z;
at Shiloh, 10000; at Williamsburg, Seven
Pines, and before Richmond, 10000; in
the valley Of the Shenandoah, 5000; at
Cedar Run, 1,200 at the second battle of
Manassas, 5000; at BOonstonand Cramp-
ton Gaps, 1000; at Sharpsburg, 10000 :
at COrinth, 1000; at Perryville, 5000;
and 5000, for those who have fallen at
Outposts, in skirmishes, &C.,
These figures, added together make the
enormous sum OFFS, ,000l OF this number
it twoull be safe to say TINT one-third, or
., 900, are now in their graves, having
either been killed outright or died from
their wounds. Quite US mauy-probably
more-have died from sickness. To this
should be added 5000 more for thosewho
have been manned and whose health has
been ruined for life Thus, our losses in
ten months of the present year may be
estimated at "a, 900 men, who have either
persisted or have been disabled. If the
whole truth were known they would prob
ably reach 100000 By the end of the year
for the deaths from disease in the hOspi-
tails. in camp, ard at home generally
exceed those in battle. For every year
the war continues we must expect our
casualties to be quite as heavy as they
have been the present.

secure the writer's from the vengiance of
their abolition officers. Now, Mr.. Editor
of the Press, who are the 'aboliIion OH
cers' whom you wish to screen these Wri-
tiers from? have enquired of some few
officers in order to find out If there were
any abolition officers in this regiment, and
am firmly convinced that there is none.
Furthermore, If you were within reach of
them, I'll bet you would not call any of
them an abOlitionist more than once. But,
Aessrs Editors, what can you expect of a
newspaper like the PrtlS
do not think, Messrs. Editors, that
should close until / mention character
we have in our mess. This characters
name is George d. Jackson. He is the
very life Of our mess. If any OF the boys
come in the tent out of bumor. or get TO
quarrelling, then he is sure to bring his in
husuee to bear, and by his good humor and
queer remarks, he Is sure TO restore good
feeling in the tent All the boys thiuk tue

attempt to strike him. they will have to
