The rebel prisoners state that was re-
ported on their side that Burnside and his
entire corps had been captured-in all 49,.
600 prisoners. The rebel prisoners appear
generally greatly discouraged and express
themselves as not caring Whitn side whips,
only they don't want to have the name of
giving up until they are whipped.
They say that tits generally understood
in Lees army that the capture OF our pro.
vision aud ammunition trains is one ,of the
main things to be attended TO. These
trains, by the way, are kept we'll in the |
rear, aud "a large torce of cavalry is re-
quired to guard them.
