and upon this basis it is estimated Chat the Rebel
killed and wounded on Friday will exceed SIR
thousand, the average OF the killed being about
seven wounded to one killed
Our loss will reach about 2 500 ia killed and
wounded, the Fifteenth Corps suffering severely,
for the reason named above that the enemy niassed
his whole force againstt. II was this act in part
that cost him such heavy loss
While the work OF burying the dead AMI remo-
wing the wounded was gong or on Saturday,
Sherman heavy artillery was playing upon the
city and at the same time large fires were ob-
served ID different parts Of Atlanta, supposed to
be the destruction ofsRpIay depots and such other
property as the enemy coffd not convey away and
did not wish to have fall into our hands This
was considered evidence of an intention of the en-
eIny to eYacuate the place
