THE BLOODY WORK IN THE LII EAiliie.
The Charleston Mercury has been favor
ed with the following interesting extract
from letter written by Federal Surgeon 10
his sister:

there saw Colonel Kratton OF South Carolina,
a rebel Colonel who fell upon the field no,
dead but badly wounded he and five Of his
command are prisoners, all badly wounded;
some OF the wounded men hit in four or five
places. These men are less than one fourth
that fell upon the field of battle on last Satur
dav, near Richmond. The rebels then attack
ed the Union troops and completely routed
them, taking all their stores, artillery, amnni-
ton. &C., dc. On Sunday there was some
fighting. which the papers report as being ter

McClcllan's army will be completely routed if
he docs not receive rcnforcements. Iestcr-
day, Summers division was attacked again by
the rebels, but we have not received any
news Of the result as the wires are down from
headquarters. We have lost great many
officers, numbers Of Colonies, Lieut.. Colonies,
Majors, &C.. &c. | was informed one boat

Captains aud his Company was terribly cut
up, hut few men remaining. | saw two men
on the boat wounded i'll his Company. The
Pennsylvania Regiment suffered terribly; only
$50 men are left in the l04th Pennsylvania
Regiment. The number Of killed, wounded
and missing in the TWO day fight approaches
10000, certain.
Don't believe anything YOU see in the pa
pers, l know they lie awtuliy. Official des-
patches arc worth nothing.
..Wc hear that Burnside mas reinforced Me-
Clelan, and that llalleck is to send AS many
as he can spare.

An Infamous AvowaI.

The Toledo Blade admits that the PASS.
age of the Crittenden Compromise by the
last Congress would have preserved the
pease Of the country and maintained the
Union tact, but avows that the Republi-
cans could not support that Compromise
because 1t would have been buying off the
SOUTH with new CONCESSIONS to have done
which. says the Blade, would have been
degrading to Republicans, &c. This is
precious confession. truly! The Reputli-
can leaders refuse to pass the Crittenden
Compromise not because its terms we're
unfair or unjust to either section of the
Union not because it conceded to the
South more than she was entitled to under
the Constitution-but simply because it
coDf1ictec with the doctrines Of the Chicago
Platform, and to yield on jot or title CT that
platform would have degraded the Repub.
lican party Had the Crittenden Compro
mise been adoyted, we would not to day
have discovered Union and civil war
But the Republican leaders could not afford
the sacrifice. They said, les the dissolu-
ton come; the country may go to the
devii-bu. the Chicago platform, that holy
OF hOlies, mustbe preserved

pleasure recognize the steadiness and in
repidity with which you attacked the

drove them from the open field.
At part of your operations it was my
fortune to be present. On no other occa-
sion have witnessed more Of calmness and
good order than you exhibited while ADJ
vancing into the very jaws of death, and
nothing could exceed the prowess with
which you rlused upon the enemy when

In the renewed struggle in which YOU
are on the eve Of engaging. ask and can
desire but Continuance Of the same con>
duct which now attracts the admiration
and pride of tbs loved ones you have left

You are fighting for all that is dearest
