Our list Of killed and wounded is very heavy.
During these eight days engagements Grant
and A1eada have probably lost one fourth Of
their army Both these repeated battles and
rhe nature Of the country IN whlcl1 they are
fought, rendering it impossible TO witness
them unlcss undergoing great personal danger,
it is impossible to send you anything more

they would probably make another stand some

that the Army will retreat in that direction.
A Rebel officer who has lately been taken
