The Yankee officers seemed to have high

the infantry were too desperate for them

The RHiMYs LOSS IN aEszRAL OFFICERS.
If the reports which reach Us of the loss of
Federal officers in the recent series of fights
ON the Rappahann0ck are correct, they must
have exposed themselves more than they have
ever done in any former battle. 1t seems to be
generally conceded that the redoubtable Dan.
f. Sickles, who enjoyed such an unenviable
notoriety on account of domestic difficulty in
Washington city few years ago, is among
their elain. He commanded the Sd army corps
in the late fights. Major General Howard,
commanding the 11th amy corps, ie also re-
ported among the killed. In addition to these,
we have the names of the following Brigadier
viz: Williams, Barry, Reuger and Birney.
ESCAPE OF YANKEE CAVALRY.
The Yankee cavalry raiders who were 70.
ported to be hemmed in at Raccoon Ford, on
the Rspidan river, have succeeded in making
their escape, and recroesed that river, though
it was hoped that the stream was too much
swollen 10 permit them to do 80.
BRIG GEN. HAYs.
We have it from those who profess to be
familiar with the facts that this Federal ofIi
Ger who is now a prisoner in the Libby ware
house, is native of this city where the ear.
lier years Of his life were spent. Some years
ago he was clerk or attendant in the drug
etore Of Jonn II Eustace, then a prominent
apothecary in Richmond From this city ha
went to Philadelphia, where he acquired some
prominence, and now turns up Brigadler-
General in Lincoln's service. Itis to be hoped
that his imprisonment in the city of his birth
will have the effsc. TO convince him of the
error of his way, and the folly of attempting
the subjugation Of the people of his native
llving, and resident Of Rockets, in rather
INDECENT circumstances. -@A. .-,..,-...---...
GEE JACKSON AID HIS WOUND.
It is said that from the first moment his
wound was received, Gen. jackson has exhib.
tied that patient endurance for which he is &C
remarkable. 1t 10 related that during the am
of oI ~
was for some minutes unconscious. When he
partially recovered from this one of his add
asked him how he felt. when his reply was
every comfortable. Order forward tho infan
try to tho front!'

during the series of battles in Spotsylvania, Il

est enemies Of the South voluntarily became
