oar entrenchme0ts. Here they met With
the most terrible slaughter ever seen on this
continent They advanced In heavy columns,
ten deep, and our troops, waiting for them
behind their breastworks, shot them down
with tho most perfect elaboration. The
carnage continued Tor hours, Grant continu.
ally ordering mp fresh troops as fast as those
already engaged were slaughtered. At two
o'clock he gave 1t mp, and retired, leaving
the ground covered with an enormous mass
Of Yankees-dead. dying. or desperately
wounded. The correspondent Of the New
York Herald estimates Grants loss on this
OCCASION ss from II QUITO 20 OOO men. Gen.
Lee, who always underestimate the enemy's
loss, thinks, 80 We understand, that 1t was
at least u. OO. It must be obvious to any
man who will reflect upon the circnm-
stances that 1t was greatly above either Of
these. Ths Yankee papers themselves say
that mp to Friday, the 18th. he had already
lost 1t least x. 600 men-that is to say, more
than half his original army. Our own im-
preston is, that he has not lost one man IN
