The rebels again advanced about three
o'clock T. NJ. On considerable numbers. lint

The loss OF our army during these seven

considered TO be a. near an estimate a. can
at present. be given Ia killed. wounded and

counted for. may have struggled away

turn.
The loss OF the enemy In killed must have
been very heavy. far exceeding that OF our
army.
We have aiken about 200 prisoners among
whom are three Lieutenants and one Major
The reported capture OF Gen. Magruder is
probably mistake.
The loss in field artillery Is about thirty
pieces during the seven days.
Gen. Reynolds and Capt Kingsbury Of his
Staff were taken prisoners, as also Colonel
Stockton Of Michigan.
Gen. Meade. of PENNSYLVANIA. was severe
iy wounded. Gen. Burns was wounded in
the face. H
Gen. Sumner and Gen. Heintzelman were
both slightly wounded IN the left arm. but
never left the field.
Gen. Mccall was seen 10 fall from hs
horse during the battle and was taken pris-
oner. The extent Of his injuries is not
known.
Col. Goslin OF the 5ith Pa, Regiment.
was killed; Capt. CamblAs. of the 5th Regu-
lar Cavalry. Was killed; Col. Pratt. of the
3lst n. Y. was wounded In the face.
The army Is now encamped on high valley
ground on the banks of James river. Is
miles from Richmond. The transports are
already unloading supplies at the wharves
and the Commanding General feels confi-
dent OF successfully meeting any attack the
enemy may make upon him in his present
position.
The reinforcement tho rebels received
from Beauregard and Jackson gave them a
force double that OF tho army OF the Poto-
mac, and many OF the prisoners taken during
the battles belong to Beaurcgard's army.
