The fight was renewed early on Tuesday.

ing to crush our army. 1t lasted about three
hours, resulting in considerable loss to both

The Rebels again advanced about o'clock
D. M, in considerable force, but retired after
being shelled by the gunboats artillery for
about two hours, without coming near enough
for musketry to become engaged. f ts.g
The loss Of our army during these seven
engagements is not known, but 10000 is
considered to be as near an estimate as can
a present be given in killed, wounded and
missing. Many Of those at present unac.
counted for may have struggled away through
the country, and may hereafter return. ....
The loss Of the enemy in killed must have
been very heavy, far exceeding that OF our
army. We have taken about 700 prisoners,
among whom are three lieutenants and ono
major. The reported capture OF Gen. Ma"
gruder is probably mistake. The loss in
field artillery is about 80 pieces during the
seven days.
Gen. Reynolds and Capt. Kinssbury. Of
his staff, were taken prisoners, as was also
Colonel Stockton, ofMichigan. Gen. Meade,
of Pennsylvania, was severely wounded. Gen.
