Persons SUPP osed to be well informed say
that We have taken ut least 1900 prisoners
from the enemy in all the engagements. but
many were paroled on the spot and sent
back.
Cen Schenck went to Washington last
evening. lie is severely wounded in the
left arm, and il is feared he will lose the
limb. Ills division was in Sigel's corps.
The brigadeS of Gen. Stahl and Gen
MclIane were driven in by Jacksons men,
but were rallying when General Schenck
left.
Gen. Ernest Won Steinwehr's and Gen.
Carl Schura' division drove the enemy back
handsomely upon several occasions at the
point Of the bayonet. Schurz's division is
badly cut up.
Gen. Milroy's Independent Brigade suf-
fored severely; they fought well, dropping
the rebels like ripe fruit.
At least 500 additional surgeons are need
ed immediately; and although 300 are ex.
pected from this city tonight, the services
of many more will be acceptable. Nurses
Nc, are wanted, and would not be doing
too much If as many as 900 charitable mer
and women would 90 down to the dark and
bloody ground and perform their acts Of
patriotism and charity.
This afternoon our whole army is masseC
10 miles south of Centerville, beyond .Bul
Run, and Notwithstanding the rebels hav,
received such great reinforcements, a~e dri
wing the enemy at every point. Victory
sooner or later, may be considered certain
Jackson will certainly be driven to tn,
Mountains. He cannot pass through Thor
oughtare Gap again, for Hentzleman i
guarding the road, and he cannot breal
through that brave corps, especially witt
our grand army at his heels.
