OmciaI report Of the losses In the battles
of sOuth Mountain and Antiesans.
o. ---- Near Sharpsburg, Sept. 20.

a.
To Mai. Gen. Halleck:
have the honor to report the following
as some results of the battles of South Noun
tain and Antietam
AT South Mountain our loss was 443 dead,
1906 wounded, and &c missing. Total, 2Sl5,
At Antietam our loss was POLO killed, s4l6
wounded, and 104S missing. Total, l2,469.
Total loss in the two battles, IA I'D
The loss of the rebels in the two battles
are nea~ as can be ascertained, from the
number of their dead found upon the field,
and from other data, will not fall short of the
following estimates:
Major DAVIS, Asst Inspector General, who
superintended the burial Of the dead, reports
about 5000 rebels buried upon the field OF
Antietam by our troops. Previous to TINS
however, the rebels had buried many OF their
dead upon the distant portion OF the battle
field which they occupied after the battle,
probably about 500.
The loss of the rebels at South Mountain
cannot be ascertained with accuracy, but as
our troops continually drove them from the
commencement of the action. and as much
greater number of their dead were seen on
the field than of our own men, it is not I'M
reasonable to suppose that their loss was
greater than ours Estimating their killed at
500. the total rebel killed in the two battles,
would be 1000, according to the ratio OF our
own killed and wounded This would make
their loss in wounded 1912.
As nearly as can be determin ed at this
time, the number of prisoners taken by our
troops in the two battles, will at the lowest
estimates, amount to 5000. The full returns
will no doubt show a larger number. VI
these about 1900 are wounded. This gives
me rebel loss in killed, wounded and prs
oners of 25,542. 1t will be observed that this
does not include their strsgglers, the number
of whom is said by citizens here, to be very
large.
It may be safely concluded therefore tina
the rebel army lost at least $4,000 OF theii
best troops.
From the time our troops first encountered
the enemy in Maryland until he was driver
back into Virginia we captured Is guns,
caissons, 8 lmbers, 2 field forges, caissol
bodies, 80 colors, and one signal flag.
We have not lost single gun or color
On the battle field of Antietam fourteen
thousand small arms were collected beside
the large number carried eff by citizens an
those distributed on the ground TO recruit
and other unarmed men arriving immediatel
after the battle.
At South Mountain no collection of sma
arms was made, owing to the haste of tn
pursuit from that point.
Four hundred were taken on the opposlt
side of the Potomac.

The ladies of this State have contribu-

That there may be no misapplieation Of

to the Ladies, make bed ticks, pillow

pears that some ten years ago poor

after considerable litigation the court de-
creed that the adopted, and not the real
mother, should retain the little one. Last

after speaking few words to her lifted
her suddenly into a carriage and drove
off. The child has not since been SEEM

blue light is thrown upon the scene, and as the
curtain falls, the Conservative Chorus are seen
in the act of taking all the credit to themselves
and indignantly refusing to pay their war
taxes.
This affecting drama of real life was played
entirely by gifted Mackerels, my boy, the one
acting Columbia being possessed of voice as
musical as that which sometimes comes from
between the teeth of new saw.
When the last round of applause had subsidized
and was leaving the theatre, i came upon the
dramatist, Captain William Brown, who
appeared to be waiting 10 hear what had to say
about this work. Says to him:
"Wel my versatile Euripides, your play
resem bles the better dramas of Eschylus, mas
much as it is all Greek to me"
"Ah!p says William, hastily assuming the
attitude in which Shakespeare generally appears
in his pictures "Do remind you torcibly oil
the bird of Avon?"
"Yes," says l, kindly "You might easily bt

BRIG-GEN. JEFFERSON c. DAVIS.

Gen. Jefferson G. Davis, whose name has
gained sudden and unenviabless notorety, by
his shooting Major General William Nelson,
at the Calf House, Louisville, KY, is an Off
Ger in the regular army, which he entered on
the 18th of June, 1S48, as second Lieutenant
of the First Artillery. The numerous vacan-
cies caused by the casualties during the Mex
lean war rendered it necessary to appoint a
good many vacancies from civil lite. Gen.
DAVIS was one of these, his appointment
being credited to Indiana, his native state.
In February, 1852, he was appointed to a
first Lieutenancy and served in that grade
until the 14th of May, 1861, when he was
made Captain of company E, IN the room OF
Captain Abner Doubleday, of Fort Sumter
fame, who was promoted to Majority in the
Seventeenth Infantry, just then organizing
In the fall of 1861, Capt Davis received
leave of absence from the War Department
to enable him to accept the Colonelcy of the
goth Indiana volunteers, to which he haG
been appointed by Gov Morton. He served
at the head of his regiment with consid erablt
credit, and in December, 1861, he was NOM
mated for Brigadier Generalship OF volun
teers, his appointment being published il

THE RUTLAND WEEKLY THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1862

New York PoLITIcs.-The issue in
New York seems to be well made up, it
political campaign must be fought. 1t is
asserted by respectable paper in the in
terror of the State that Mr., Seymour,
the Democratic nominee for Governor,
"has not contributed one farthing to any
fund connected with the war;" While we
hope that this is an over statement, the
avowed opinions of Mr.. Seymour tend
to confirm it. His recent speech has ten
words of blame direct against the govern
ment of his country to one land that
mild one) against its traitors in arms. In
truth, Hon. Lyman Tremain we'll said, in
the Republican Union Convention:
"No American citizen who had read
the speech OF Horatio Seymour has been
inclined to exclaim, must fight for my
country but if moved at all by it, it must
be to make war on the very government
which JEFF Davis is to-day fighting
against"
Against such a candidate the Republi-
cans and Union men have nominated Gen.
Wadsworth, who is justly described as
ga man who has given not only money,
but time, and all his best energies, to the
war for the Union, and whose services IN
the army have gained him the commenda-
ton of the government, the friendship OF
the President, and the gratitude OF hun.
dreds of our soldiers who have experienced
his kindness and constant attention &c
their comforts, whether they were sick
wounded, or in active service" And yet q
contemporary thinks that Gen. Wadsworth
will be defeated by heavy majority We
shall believe that when we have much
lower estimate of the patriotism and in
telligence of the people of New York thar
we now have, and it will take nothing
short of decisive demonstration at the
polls to thus reduce our esteem BostoI
