the last rites of humanity. We are still
holding and intend to hold sll the ground

losses of Yesterday aud day.before are III
killed and wounded between $50 and
400 IN the I'd corps, and probably not far
from 500 in the 9th corps The loss OF
the latter is estimated much higher Dy
many but think il will not probably
exceed these figures. Brigadier General
HE Davies. commanding a brigade OF

II was reported last evening at the
front that the cavalry which has adj
yauced to Dinwiddie G. H.. beyond the

twenty of the enemy's wagons and abon'
\ hundred horses, said to belong to Brad

observed by our officers and soldiers that
the enemy do not fight as we'll as former
lv, and it is to great extent dttrlbuta-
bic to the bewilderinG tactics OF General
Grant, which keep them in constant mo
ton, marching from one threatened pOmt
TO another, only TO return again, until
they become disheartened and dispilted
and ready to throw down their arms and
Weld themselves prisoners whenever OPP
portunity offers.
The Herald says it was rnmored In
Washington yesterday that the War De
partment had received intelligence that
Gen. Lee had commenced the evacuation
of Richmond and it was supposed that
these movements Of the army of the Po-
tomac were designed to cut him of on
the South Side railroad. Our dispatches
state that it has been satisfactorily as
'certained that Lee has up to this time at
least sent very few of his troops South.
