We have no official reports from the front,
but the Medical Director has notified our Sur
geon General that our wounded were being sent
to Washington, and win number from 5000 to
5000. 1-sr',l. I'll ,pi1l & ir' no : -
The Chief Quartcrmastcr Of the Army OF the
Potomac has made reQuisition for several days
grain, and for railroad construction trains, and
states that the enemy Is reported to be retiring.
This indicates Gen. Grants advance, and NJ
fords an inference Of material success on our
part. The cnemy's strength has always been
most felt in his first blows, and these having
failed, and our forces not only having main
tanned their ground, but preparing to advance.
leads to the hope Of full and complete success.
The enemy's loss In killed and wounded must
weaken him more than We are weakened.
A dispatch from Gen. sherman. dated five
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, states that Gen.
Thomas had occupied Tunnel Hill, (Ga. where
he expected battle, and that the enemy had
taken position ut Buzxard's Roost Pass, but no
real fighting had yet taken place. II.
There Is nothing later from Gen. Banks.

statement Of what is known to the Department
in this great crisis. and to withhold nothing
from the public. '- t-
