can estimate approximately the Union losses.

twice that number in the two divisions direct

and missing! Crawford's brigade going into
action With eighty-six commissioned officers
and 1.7G9 enlisted men, aud coming ont with

little better.
IAueur's division, on our left, opposed bE
rebel troops Under Gen. Branch, OF North
Carolina, Went into battle with 700 men,
Of over 1,1o0, OF about forty per cent. Of the
whole.
The rebel losses are immense. probably
quite as heavy as ours-fhs horrible accuracy
Of our artillery reaping more than E~elps

larger number of prisoners.

lFro1u the New York Times, 15th1
The railway traffic and canal trade Of the
present summer months continue to attract
notice from the very large and almost uniform
Increase which they exhibit over the active
business Of Last season. We have already re-
ftfred to the prospect Of nearly $4,000, 900 in
crease before the close Of NAVIGATION On the
tolls Of The New York State canals, affort1ing
. gross income Of five or five and q half nil
liens of dollars. We have ROW the july
returns Of traffic over eighteen Of tie
New York and Western railraY lines,
which show au average increase over last
year Of Jort5taco per cent. Since these returns
were made up, various weekly reports Of the
frstWeek's business over the western lines
llsye been received, Indicating large gain for
the month, although the labor Of The great
harvest IN the West and the scarcity Of labor-
ers have caused some delay in sending forward
the old supplies of grain. The euminer pas
sepger travel over the New York lines, both
in July and August, has materially improved
over the last season, while the pressure of the
freigh. business, particularly from the West,
and some increase in the price Of labor en-
ployed On the roads, have induced fursher
advance in the rates Of charges. The follow
ing table OF July returns is compiled for refer
cree, with the gain On each line over July Of
