fusion, and with considerable loss but as soon

AT the same time the enemy made an attack
from Petersburg on General Butler's force

of the killed and wounded in the late battles
presents the fact that 1000 were killed and
about 25,O0O wounded and 5000 missing
the latter including stragglers and prisoners
1t is also stated on the same accurate au-
thority that not more than ten per cent have
been dangerously wounded, and that large
number will be ready for the field within
the next two weeks. This statement should
go far to molliIy the suspense and agony oil

THIRD DESPATCH

TO Aaior General Cadioalader, PAiladslp6ia
WASHINGTON, May live have no official
intelligence of any military operations since my
last despatch. The Richmond papers of Satur-
day state that General Steele had surrendered,
at Camden, with 5000 men, to Price This is
known to be untrue. Gen. Steele, with his
whole command, withdrew, some two weeks ago,
from Camden, and is now at Little Rock, having
defeated Kirby Smith on his way, at Saline
river, as heretofore stated. Sherman was in
close pursuit Of Johnston, having captured 900
prisoners and eight pieces of artillery at Resaca.
