HRADouARTERs ARMY on TIE PoroxAC,
|.i...u ... .r Tuesday Evening.
Information received today from servant
who deserted from the rebels yesterday,
shows that their loss In general o6icers In the
late battle we're greater than a. nst supposed.
General Wright, Of 0sorea, was wounded in
two places; General Branch, sfNorth Carolina,
was killed; General Lonsstroot Was wounded;
Major General Anderson. commanding divi.
sion, was wounded; General Colquitt, OF Geor-
gia. was killed.
The rebels admit their loss to bo twenty
thousand at the battle Of Antietam, and thirty
thousand since they entered Maryland.
The Alabama brigade. commanded BY Col.
Corning, acting brigadier general, has not been
able TO muster nfty men since the battle. The
residents Of this section Of Maryland have suf.
fered terribly since It's occupation by the two
armies. In many GASES, families, who wero 4
few days ago In comfortable circumstances,
are now wanting the nsoessaries Of life. Al
forage and fuel, and also subsistence used By
tho army, whether taken In the regular way
by . responsible ofioer, or taken indisorimi,

for BY Gen. Ingalls,. chief quartermsster Of
the army, and Colonel Clark, ohiof Of subsi,.

The claim ofthose whose barns have been laid
waste and buildings destroyed during battle
are referred to the authorities at Washington
for settlement. A people SO loyal. and who
have sacrificed SO much for tho Union a. those
in this section, are not only deserving Of the
sympathy Of every lover Of the Union. but the
Government should take the matter In hand
ard Instantly relieve their wants.
