.t GRANTS UNPRECEDENTED LOSSES.
From The Petersburg Express, May 80 :,
Late and Trustworthy information has reached
Petersburg from the enemys lines 1t is OF the most
encourage character Outside Of Grants official cir
Gle, and safely removed from the tyranny OF Lincoln
and Seward the Northern people do not hesitate 70 a
nit terrible losses in Grants army None estimate u
ut less than IS 600 and many say that IL VIII reech
10000. This is from all causes-killed wounded pris
| ouers stragclers and deserters.
The desertion and struggling Is without precedent
letter received In this city on saturday rom

his comrades with their daring chief nave been IN the
rear Of Grant since he moved from CupepPer Court
House. He states that from the Rapdan and the Zap
pahannock 10 the Potomac the country literally swarms
with straggers These men do not hesitate to that
they are from the Army of the Potomac and under no
circumstances win they be carried back alive zach
is armed and says he will sell his life on dearly as
| possible before be will be taken.
Gold went up in Now York on the Path to lso being
an advance OF per cent over previous gay rates
This does not look as though the obseryant New
ers were Of the opinion that Grant had accomplished
an thing whatever in o military way but TO sacrifice
| one Of the best armies on the planet.
The Northern people say that Grant has lost Tour
times as many any general who ever commanded
the Army Of the Potomac. II bas been ascerained by
actual count that he lost more men on the 18TH In the
terrible contest Of sylvania Court House than Ma
polcon Bonapare lost on the memorable field Of Water
loo The people say that the worst feature OF the pres
ent melancholy condition Of affairs that the places OF
the recently slain and manned cannot be supplied.
Every garrison and outpost has been swept clean 10 re-
pensh Grants deomacd ranks; and 1t is asserted ds
an absolute fact that there were not men enough at
Fortress Monroe last Friday a. garrison the place.
Its also Represented that Grants present army is
greatly deuioI;.lizcd. The three years very
mnch tiscontened at the bad faith in which the Lin
coin Government has acted toward them, and the new
Corners, veteran Ie-enorcements, as Stanton leie-
graphs 10 DIX cannot be made 20 face Gcp Lees gal
liant gray backs. four times during the past eight
days did Grant attempt 20 bring another such fight
rs he engaged in nj SVOttsylyana Courthouse, but
each refused be led 70 tho slaughter
They are like Burusdcs whipped 1T Fredericksburg.
Once ia all sufficient
Altogether TIE entire information from the cnemys
country is Of the most cheering kind We verify be-
cye that light is breaking. and that peace is not far
distant. God be praised
