Number Of Prisoners Taken.

I cannot but believe that the Genius
Of Universal Lying has taken posses
sion of all the statements OF the mum
Der Of our prisoners. I know from oifl-
clal reports, that up to Friday evening
at seven o'clock the exact number Of
prisoners turned over TO the officers in
charge was only 5000. II can hardly
be that at that time, three hours after
the fight had closed, twelve or fifteen
thousand prisoners had as yet been
unheard OF. More were indeed coming
I'm but at such a rate as to give no
homes of swelling the number to more
than four or five thousand. To mis-
the cavalry may have added somewhat,
but certainly there can be 10 fifteen or
twenty thousand as the absurd dis
