Gen. Kent's CasuaIties.
Gen. Kents report of casualties has
been forwarded. There were killed u Of
ficers and s. men; wounded, 36 officers, SCI
men; missing. 81 men.
The strength given in the statement
above is the aggregate strength of the
command, but as there were many de-
tails the above figures are about 10 per
cent greater than the forces actually en-
gagged in battle. Gen. Kents force on
July was about 1900.
THE command has been active in
strengthening their position, and COM
manders and their staffs have thoroughly
informed themselves as 10 the topography
of the country and the situation of the
enemy. Very respectfully,
JOSEPH WHEELER,
Major General Volunteers"
