DEsERIioSs FROM The AENY.-Senator
Wilson states that, IN his opinion, VIC have
now about 700 deserters, although some
represent that We have double that number.
At one time, when the Army of the Potomac
was at Harrison's Landing, there were g., 900
men ''absent without leave" but the enroll
ment act has enabled many Of the provost
marshals to secure many of the deserters and
they have returned about % 900 to their
regiments Its now believed that Is, 900
are in Canada, scattered up and down, and
that promise Of pardon will bring many Of
them back to their flag.

Il is now estimated that the loss Of life will
exceed $50, and that the value Of the property
DESTROYED exceeds half million. From Brad
field, where the reservoir burst, down the course
Of the rivers for twelve or fourteen miles the
country Is laid waste. The reservoir covered an
area OF ssventy-six acres, and would hold III
OOO. 900 cubic feet Of water. The embankment
which crossed the end of the valley, was an
enormous ction, with an average height Of
eighty-fve feet, and forty in thickness. IL was
three hundred yards long. Between Mattock
and Hillsborough, a distance Of four miles, the
greatest loss Of life has been caused. Within
this tract whole rows Of houses nave been swept
entirely away, IN three Of which alone there
were twenty-five lives lost In the opposite row
the whole Of the inhabitants were drowned, and
scarcely any Of their bodies have been discov-
cred The flood seems TO have swept off every
thing before 1t, from tie confluence Of the Lox-
ley and the Revlin to the Don Between War'is-
end and Sheffield on the Don, the bodies were
seen living in the mud and ruins. There were
fourteen in one place, ten in snsther, and thlr-
teen in a third. At Neepsend 900 acres Of gar
deus were devastated, and whole families were
swept away. An official report just received
states that one hundred and fifty-siX dead bodies
have been already recovered twenty have been
