The Late Cavalry Victory.

reports. from official returns, the following casualtes
in the late cavalry engagement in 6upeper Killed, so;
wounded, 2SO; missing, l5S Total, 4SS.
On other hand, over four hundred prisoners CAP
turcd by US have been received in this city. As to their
losses in other ways only infer them from such
expressions as these in their accounts of tie battle
"Tne 9th Pa lost heavily "Col Wyndham's brigade
suffered severely "the brigade OF regulars lost in
killed and wounded twenty-one out of ninety officers
present" "Gen Balords whole force much cut up
&c. Ca the 10Th, train s mentioned as arriving at
Alexandria with 40 wounded, and the night Of the
same day. another arrival of "about 7O fifteen of them
rebels" is mentioned.
From data such as these there is difficulty in de-
termnipg that the Yankee loss very largely exceeded
ours. When in addition, it is remembered that We
drove them back across the river the must be hard

TIE WAR IN MISSISSIPPI.

number of gentlemen have reached Atlanta, direct
from Central Mississippi, all of whom bring the most
cheering accounts as to improvement in the cond
ton of 6ffairs in that department The Appeal gets
from them the following information:
For several days previous to Monday last-when one
of our infomants left General JohnstonS headquarters
there had been daily communications between the
commanding generals The commanders are now act
ing in eoncerl-General Pemberton having sgnhed his
ability TO hold his position as TO give General john
ston time 10 organize his army, which he is now DOING
and placing it in position to aid the beseiged at any
moment or if full time is given him by Grant, to get
ready to strike decirive blow.
IL has rot been generally known that General John
stons army concentrated with but little artillery, means
of transportation and commissary supplies. 1t was
necessary to withhold this information from people
who were expecting immediate action, for obvious
sons We have the strongest assurances, however,
that these deficiencies have been supplied.
Gen. Johnston has his right resting on YaZoo river,
near Yazoo city, and his lett az point the Southern
Railroad west of jackson. He is constantly in the
field and his troops kept alert for the purpose Of
nurine them to the fgues of active campaign than
for watching the enemy For the latter purpose he has
large cavalry force of veterans used TO the service,
and under the leadership OF skilu leader. We con-
gatuae the country upon the Frightening prospects in
Mississippi; and If General JohnstOns wish for REM
oreements is granted will look for speedy and decided
triunp Nh.
