5000 prisoners have been captured. Fifteen
hundred prisoners arrived at Harper's Ferry
on Monday evening; 1000 more were left mt
Winchester. Our cavalry are still engaged
in picking up rebel stragglers and deserters,
who are glad to escape from the rebel army.
These prisoners candidly admit that Sheri-
dan is the best General against whom they
have fought that his dashing tactics are
more than a match for even General Early.
1t is asrertained from rebel deserters, prison.
ers and other indisputable sources that the
loss of the enemy will reach 10, 900 in killed,
wounded and prisoners. Among the guns
taken were twenty new brass pieces, which
were recently turned out from Richmond,

only few days before the battle. Twelve
| thousand small arms have been picked up on
the field and along the track of the flying
enemy, exhibiting state of decentralization
not often witnessed among veterans, such as
those with whom Early was provided.
The rebels had five infantry divisions and
FIVE cavalry brigades in the engagement, a
large portion Of which embraced the flower Of
Lees army. Our wounded are being rapidly
removed TO Martinsburg from Winchester.

another advance, when Grant shall give the
