The EEEMY's LOSS VERY
SEVERE.
Eight Hundred and Twcuty-Eight
Prisoners Taken, and -Four
Battle-Flags,

HEADQUhRTEHs Amy on THE P1roMNC, OCto-
Der 80, A. M.-Since the army returned 70 its Old
quatters on Friday, nothing Of importance has
transpired. The encmy's cavalry followed our
troops closely as they returned, but were pre-
vented from doing any damage of importance.
The only captures they made at this time were
some eight or ten ambuances which had tlken a
wrong road, but even these they could not get
away. The horses were cut loose and run OIL,
and our men burned the wagons. The Rebel
cavalry made repeated attempts t. CHARGE but
were each time repulscd with loss.
During the day the entire army reached tho
positions occupied by il previous to the move,
when the enemy at once withdrew, aud they also
returned to their former position. Oar losses
will reach about fifteen hundred as near as can
be ascertained at present.
The 2d Corps, which did the most lighting, lost
ten officers killed, thirty-one wounded, seventy
seven men killed, four hunsred and eighty
wounded, and about four hundred missing The
5th Corps lost about one hundred aud thirty
altogether, and the 9th Corps upwards Of one
hundred and fifty, mostly in the colored division.
The casualties in the cavalry division are not
known precisely, hut are thought 70 hc about two
hundred. Many OF those classed as missing will
undoubtedly return to camp, as the number of
stragglers was large.
The loss Of the enemy was severe, and some
say greater than our own, IN killed and wounded.
We have S2S prisoners and -four battle-hags, most
ofwhich were captured by the "a Corps.
The highest praise is given by all to the officers
and men Of the ID and Sd Divisions, for their be-
hsviOr during the day.
Generals Eagan and Mott, who COM
Danded them, and Gcnerali Smith and
Colonel McAster, commanding brigadcs, are
particularly praised for the able manner in which
they handled their men.
The charge made by the New Jersey Brigade,
under Colonel McAllister, on the enemy, who
had got in the rear of our forces was one of the
finest ever witnessed, and resulted in carrying the
entire position. All is quiet with thc exception
of picket firing, which isqute lively at night.
