day What the losses in prisoners and
material are, we cannot now say. Our
killed will reach twelve hundrod..- Our
wounded will amount to seven Thousand
most of them slight wounds. Among gen
eral officers killed are Gen. -Lytle, Col.
Key, Col. King, commanding brigade,
and Col Bartleten, 1o1st Illinois,.
