Aug. 20.
The report in some Of the papers that the
losses in the 7th corps in the battles Of the
18th 10Th and 2lst will reach 5000, greatly
exaggerates the facts. II is definitely known
} that they do not exceed $500, and as strag-
glers and Others continue to come in and the
sick all accounted for, IL is believed The
aggregate loss will not exceed $500.
The loss Of the ID corps on Thursday viii
+ not exceed 1900, according TO the official
statement, and it is believed that when al
) within our lines report thems I've. the entire
loss will fall to 1900.
The rebels are said TO be using the We'll
, don railroad below Reams' station, and rune
mug supplies thence to Petersburg around
our left by wagon. As this requires large
force, 90 guard trains and defend The road
gainst our cavalry, t cannot be e her very
profitable or pleasant means of c1mmuui.a-
ton, without taking into consideration the
loss there involved.
Arrangements have baea ul-iia fsr burying
the rebe! dead Left on the field after last
b Thursdays battle The fact that the enemy
did not do this. and also that they did NOT
carry off their wounded, is papabIe evidence
that they did not achieve complete OF ct-d-
i'as.o victory
, Nothing of interest has occurred to-day
! Cannonading and picket firing is brisk and
I continuous this evening, without result

4 Attention s called to the fact that several
errors occurred 10 the dispatch dated on be
p Dist. describing tie battle of Che l9th. Two
statements are essentially the subject of come
plairt. viz. that the 2d division OF the 5.h
.e Corps broke. and that our line was forced
back The 2d division. it Is claimed, did u. t
IS break. nor did apy other before direct
