The flashes Of lightning often observed on a
summer evening, unaccompanied 10y thunder,
and popularity known as "beat lightning" are
merely the light from discharges OF electricity
from an ordinary thunder cloud, beneath the
horizon of the observer reflected from
clouds, or perhaps from the air itself, as in
The case OF twilight. Mr.. Brooks, one Of the
directors of the telegraph line between Pitts
burg and Philadelphia, informs us that on one
OCCASION, to satisfy himself on this point, he
asked for information from distant operator
during the appearance OF flashes OF this kind
in the distant horizon, and learned that they
proceeded from a thunder storm then raging
two hundred and fifty miles eastward OF his
place of observation.

Losses In the Mary land Battles
--RepOrt Of Gen. Mcclellan.
Near Sharpsbure. Sent. 2.

Near onarpsburg, sept. y
To Major General II. W. ualleck, General in Chief
U.s.A.;
/ have the honor to report the following
as the results of the battles Of South Noun
tain and Antietam
At South Mountain our loss was 443
dead, 800 wounded, nd 20 missing-to-
tai. 2,3l5. At Antietam our loss was ..
OlO killed, 9,4l6 wounded, and ,0I3 miss.
ing-total, 1874
The total loss in the two battles is IA,
974.
The total loss of the rebels in the two
battles, as near as can be ascertained from
the number of the dead found upon the
field, and from other data, will not fall
short Of tho following estimate:
Maj. Davis, assistant inspector gener al
who superintends the burial of the dead
reports about 3 900 rebels buried upon the
field Of Antietam by our troops. Previous
to this, however. the rebels had buried
many OF their own dead, upon the distant
portion of the battlefield which they oc
cupied after the battle, probably at lcast
500.
The loss of the rebels at South Mountain
cannot be ascertained with accuracy. bul
as our troops drove them from the com.
mencement of the action, ana as a much
greater number of their dead was seen
Cd the field than of our own men, il il moi
unreasonable to suppose that their loss wa,
greater than ours. Esumating their killed
at 500, the total number of rebels killed in
the two battles would be 600. Accord.
ing to the ratio Of our own killed and
wounded, this would make their l,ss in
wounded 1882, as nearly az can be deter
mined.
The number Of prisoners taken Nv our
troops in the two battles will at the lowest
estimate, amount to 900. The full re-
turns will no doubt show a larger number
Of these about ! 200 were wounded
This gives me rebel loss in killed
wounded and missing of % $40. 1t will
be observed that this does not include their
stragglers, the number of whom il said "a
be very large.
1t may be safely corc'uded, therefore
tn at the rebel army lost at least 10000 OF
their best troops.
From the time our troops first encoun.
tered tie enemy in Maryland until he was
driven back into Virginia. we captured IL
guns, . caissOns, Q lm5ers. . fold Iorges.
eaissons' bodies, 3 colcrs, and kigual
flag.
We have not lost a single gun or color
Ga the battlefield Of An;ietam IA 600 small
arms were collected, besides the large
number carried of by citizens, and those
distributed on the ground % recruits and
other unarmed men, arriving immediately
after the battle.
AT South Mountain no collection oil
OF small arms was made, owing &
the haste of The pursuit from that point
Four hundred were taken from the opposite
side of the Potomac.
