NISCELLANEOUS NEWS
We think we have succeeded in making up
table of our loss in killed, wounded and missing in
the late great battle ut Pittsburg Landing. or
Shiloh. 1t is derived partly from official sources
and partly from information derived from the
several division officers. The second division Of
Grants corps ID not exact the full reports are
not yet in, but is very nearly 30. The sixth divi
sion Of Grants army is made up partly from con-
lecture of the remaining officers and partly from
the few reports that have come in. This division
was peculiarly unfortunate in the loss by death or
capture of its general and most of his staff, and
the capture Of many of its men. Its loss in Geld
and line officers was very heavy. This table il as
full and accurate as it can possibly be under the
circumstances, and any subsequent developments
can vary it but little.
