NEAR SHARPsBURGH, Sept. 29--l:3O p NJ
To Major II. W. Halteck
have the honor to report the following as
some Of the results of the battles of South
Mountain and Anlietam.
AT South Mountain our loss was 443 dead,
1906 wounded, and rs missing. Total 1925.
At Ante am our loss was 20l0 killed and
94l6 wounded, and lO4S missing. Total,
l2, AGO
The loss OF the rebels in the two battles, as
near as can be ascertaned from the number of
The dead found upon the field and from other
data, VIII! not fall short OF the following csti-
nate
Maj. Davis, Inspector General who superin-
tended the burial Of the dead reports about
1000 rebels buried upon the field of Antictam
BY our troops.
Previous to this, however, Tie rebels had
buried many OF their own dead upon distant
portion of the battle field, which they occu pied |
after the battle, probably at least 500
The loss of the rebels at South Mountain
,annot be ascertained with accuracy, but as our
roops continually drove them from the COM
nencement of the action and as much |
greater number Of their dead were seen on the !
ield than of our own men it is not unreasonable |
o suppose that their loss was greater than ours.
Estimating their killed at 500, the totol rebel
killed in the TWO battles would be 1000. Ac.
,ording to the rate of our own killed and
wounded this would make their loss in wound
ID 1912.
As nrarly US can b, determined at this time,
he number OF prisoners taken by our troops in
he battles will, ut the least estimate, amount
o 5000. The full returns will, no doubt, show q
Arge number Of tbese,-aboit 1900 are wound
d. This gives the rebel loss in killed, wounded
nd missing OF Is 542
Ii will be observed, that this does not include
heir sragglers, the number Of wnom is said
y citizens here to be large. 1T may safely
0ncuded therefore, that the rebel army lost
/ least 30, 900 Of their best troops.
