HEADQUARTERS, Tuesday evening, Sept. 3D.
Information received to day from servant who
deserted from the rebels yesterday, shows
that their loss in general officers in the late
battle was greater than was at first supposed.
General Wright, of Georgia, was wounded
IN two places; General Branch, of North Caro-
lima, killed; Gen. Longstreet wounded Major
General Anderson, commanding a division.
wounded; General Colquitt, of Georgia, killed.
The rebels admit their loss to be 10000 ar
the battle of Antietam, and sc, 900 since they
entered Mary laud.
The Alabama brigade, commanded by Col.
Corning, acting brigadier general, has not
oeeh aoie 10 muster nifty men since the battle.
The residents ofthis section OF Maryland have
suffered terribly since its occupation by the
two armies. In many cases families, who a
| Few days ago were in comfortable circumstan
ces, are now wanting the necessaries of life.
All the forage, fuel, and also subsistence used
by the army, whether in the regular way by
responsible officer, or taken indiscriminateIy
oy those in want, is pomptly paid for by
Genera! ingalls,, chief quartermaster of the
army, and Col. Clark, chief Of substance, the
proper affdavits being made.

The claims of those whose farms have been
laid waste and buildings destroyed during the
battles are referred to the authorities at Wash.
lngton for settlement. A people so loyal, and
who have sacrificed so much for the Union as
those in this section, are not only deserving of
the sympathy of every lover of the Union bnt
the Government should take the matter in
hand and instantly relieve their wants.
The movements of the rebel army are mys-
terious. The military authorities here feel sat-
isfed that the whole rebel army is still on the
opposite side OF the river, information to that
effect having been received to day. Gen. Lee
is also there.
Their intentions are not yet developed, but
an attempt to reocupy Maryland must be con-
sidered impracticabe. Without tents, and, in
many cases, without shoes or blankets, the
present position of the rebel army would be
very uncomfortable if a cold rain should occur.
With the present weather, overcoats and blank
cts are almost indispensable at night.
