We have reliable information from highly
intelligent gentleman who was captured at
Charlottesville, and who is directly from the
south side of the Rappahannock, in rebeldom,
to the following effect:
Tho enemy claims that he has, altogether,
eight thousand three hundred of our men cap
tured, which includes the wounded left upon
the field. This number embraces one thousand
and six rounded men belonging to the Eleventh
Army Corps, all Of whom mere doing 'ceH day be-
fore yesterday. At least one hundred and Gfty
men Of that corps were killed on the field, or
have since died of their wounds.
According to the rolls two thousand and six
hundred men are missing from the Eleventh
Army Corps since the battle. After deducting
the number named above, as killed and wound
ed, from the total missing, it will appear that
one thousand four hundred and forty-four were
captured by the surprise resulting from the
rear movement of Jackson.
The rebel officials acknowledge that they lost
altogether in killed, wounded and missing,
about 10000 men. They do not hesitate to
say that the battles at Charlottesville and in
Fredericksburg, under Hooker and sedgwick,
were the severest and most expensive that the
Confederacy has yet experienced in the war.
Gen. Lee expressed himself to his officers,
very freely, that Hooker was much abler man
than he Lee) supposed. He said he did not
think Hooker could handle so many men so
well as he did. Lee don't hesitate to tell his
officers that Hooker is a man TO be feared and
watched closely.
Gen. Lee also expressed his wonder that
Hooker was shreWd enough to return, with his
army, TO the north side Of the Rappahannock.
Our informant says that the leading rebels
acknowledged to him that Lee was expecting
reinforcements to enable him to get between
Hooker and the river, with the intention oi
cutting of his supplies, by destroying all the
ferries and pontoon bridges, with the hope Of
starving him out.
JacksoR's death was a most terrible blow tc
the rebels.
Our soldiers, who are prisoners of the enemy
arc suffering greatly for the want of food, al
though they do not hesitate to say that they
shared equally with the rebel soldiers, so far al
they could Judge.
Our informant says he was frequently askeC
when he thought the war would end. He re
piled that some of our people thought 1t nigh
end in twenty years, some thought ten, but 70
himself, he was OF opinion that five year
might see its termination. This kind Of logi
was anything bnt pleasant.
