SOLDIER LIFE.

The following from Stowe boy to his
parents, dated at Camp Pratt, Western Va,
has been sent to us for publications '.
My health is good, although | have
seen some hard times, (the hardest times
of my life) since wrote to YOU lhave
been in the saddle thirteen days and sew
cral nights, and rode over six hundred
miles, and have been in three battles.

I was wounded twice in one battle flesh
wounds) once in the arm, and in the leg,
and riding for six days without having
them dressed, they have become quite
sore and painful. will try to give you
short description of the trip. On the
18th, the 34th Ohio, I'd Va, and two
companies of the lst Va. Cavalry, started
for the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad.
There we routed the rebels, killing ard
wounding. several, with some prisoners.
They left ffty-nine barrels of -four; 5000
rounds of shell and Shot for cannon, and
forty thousand life cartridges; then We
marched for two days, without seeing any
of the enemy, and on the morning of the
Sd day we came in sight Of picket post.
We charged on the post and took every
picket, Then we. went into camp and
took one company that was stationed there,
with one hundred stand of arms aud ten
thousand cartridges The next was at
Withville, at the railroad. There we
pitched battle, and such u slaughter you
never saw; it was hand to hand. There
our Colonel was killed, and forty men and
officers killed and wounded. But to my
certain knowledge We killed and wounded
three to their one. The fight Was in as
pretty town as ever saw. Their force
was 1900, with one section of artillery
Our force was about 1000. They shot
from the doors and windows, and every
where else. Our company took their bat
terry, killing the captain and six gunners.
When the fight was over, every street and
alley was covered with dead and wounded
rebels. We took one hundred and sixty
prisoners and burned the railroad bridge
and several mills, and then burned the
town. But will not try to describe the
scene, for | cannot You will excuse the

The Losses on Both Sides During
the Year.

Our tables Of engagements during the
year 1862 give an aggregate rebel loss
of 6,O94 killed; 1871 wounded; and
29,S22 prisoners Added to this is 49,
S22 reported losses in killed, wounded
and prisoners, which makes grand to.
tai of SO, 400. The aggregate Federal
loss during the same period is l2,4OS
killed, 5,42O wounded, and 3S, ,22l pris-
oners. Added to this is TO reported
losses in killed, wounded and prisoners,
making grand total of 1O6,S19.
1t must be remembered, however, that
these are by no means official figures
indeed, there are very few, comparative.
ly, official reports Of losses. Nor do
the above figures comprise all the los.
ses. The battle at Fort Craig, Texas,
and Valverde, undoubtedly resulted in q
rebel loss of at least 5000, in killed,
wounded and prisoners, while the Union
loss in the first battle must have been
at least 1000
The losses of Pope, in his disastrous.
campaign in Virginia, must haverexd
ceeded 10000, while the rebels csc ape
with loss not exceeding 5000. At
PerryVille KY, the enemy probably lost
5000. The battles in Arkansas have
doubtless resulted in a rebel loss of 90
900, while the Union losses will not
exceed 5000. This increases the grand
total of rebel losses to 1O6,7O6, and that
of the Union losses to 1880. This
is exclusive of death by disease in either
army, which must reach q very large
figure.
