u The NUMBERS ENGAGED IN THE BATTLE
The Pittsburg (Tenn.) correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette makes the following esti
mate of the opposing forces in the late great
battle:
The best opinions of the strength with
which the rebels attacked US place their num-
bers at sixty thousand. They may have
been reinforced from five to ten thousand
Sunday night.
Grant had hardly forty thousand effective
men on Sunday. Of these, half dozen reg
iments were utterly raw, had scarcely had
their guns long enough to know how to han
die them. Some were supplied on their way
| up.
| Buell. passed three divisions that took part
in the action-Nelson's, Crittenden's, and
McCook's They numbered say twenty thou
sand-a liberal estimate. Lew. Wallace came
up on Monday, with say seven thousand
more. That gives us, counting the Sunday
men as all effective again, sixty seven thou
sand on Monday on our side, against sixty to
bers that gained us the day, it was fighting.
All honor to our Northern soldiers for it.
WOMEN SECEssIoNlsrs IN ST. LoUIs.-As
the rebel prisoners from the South passed
through the streets Of St. Louis, on the 14th
inst, on their way to the military prison,
number of secesh women collected at the
house of Vim. Bell, waved rebel flags, and
indulged in other manifestations of sympathy
for the prisoners and insult to Federal troops.
The Provost Marshal, learning the facts,
sent guard to prevent all ingress and egress
to and from Bells house, and thus makes his
house prison for the confinement of its in
mates until further orders. When the stock
of provisions in the house gives out the wo.
men will be served with army rations like
other prisoners. The same course will be
pursued towards other secesh fashionables in
future, who persist in violating rules and in
sulting Government troops and officers.
That's the way to do it-ouly the punish
ment is not severe enough.
Nor MUCH OF PAPER.-The Washington
Democrat, a miserable little, one-horse, scis-
sor-made, pestiferous, Democratic, secession
sheet has seen fit to assault the JOURNAL for
some reason best known 10 its editor and CO.
laborer in the cause, Satan. Usually we
would not have given Mr.. Bowlegs 1--WE be-
lieve that is his name) the notoriety that a
notice in the JOURNAL will insure him, but as
this is an unusually aggravated case, we think
due the Democrat. Now we are sorry for
Bowlegs, as we believe him to be clever,
simple sort Of q fellow, who sometimes allows
his passions to get the better of his reason.
We won't advise Mr.. b friends to take him
to the place where he advised US to be sent,
as, if they will only let him alone little
while, the work of nature will transport him
to the favored locality, and his friends can be
saved some trouble and expense.

Moroh 2oth


Between Santa Fe and Et. Uniou,)
March Both.
Since wrote you, Col. Slough's column,
1900 strong, have advanced to Hogan's
Rancho, 25 miles north of Santa Fe, where
they encountered the enemy, whose strength
was unknown, and engaged them. Maj. Crit
tenden, 1st Colorado volunteers, and two
companies of United States infantry, under
Capt. Lewis, were sent across the river to fall
upon their rear. Col. Slough, according to
programme, gave way gradually, which left
the supply train of the rebels unsupported;
and which Maj Crittenden and Capt. Lewis
easily captured, together with about fifty
loaded wagons, which were burned, and %
prisoners, and one pound howitzer which
was taken from us at Fort Craig, which was
spiked by our troops. Col. Slough's com.
manl then fell back to strong position.
Our trophies are 100 prisoners, privates
and officers. 80 loaded wagons burned, one
piece of artillery of the enemy spiked, from
100 to 200 killed and wounded, one Major
and two Captains, &c. ..,;,.. ..
Our loss is about l8 or 20 killed, including
Lieut. Baker, Colorado volunteers, and 80 OF
40 wounded. a.-,
It is supposed that Gen. Sibley will ad.
vance upon Col. Slough's column with his en-
tire force from 1000 to 5000 strong, and that
Col. Slough will fall back upon the trenches
at Fort Union. At last accounts Col. Can
bey had not left Ft. Craig. With Col. Slough's
command it is believed he can hold Fl. Unior
against any force the rebels can bring against
it.
The whole command engaged on our side
behaved with signal gallantry and coolness
both volunteers and regulars.
