The Confederate losses are compiled from tb official report of the commanding officers, (when such report were published.) Ot course, wj can only goese at tbe losjc of the enemy. Tbe Northern paper seldom nubliah the official rcDoru of tbe Federal Generals, and tbe latter have generally- proved- tbemaetvea such moostrooa falsifiers that but Utile confidence can be placed la their re puria when they are published For iusWnce. Picayune Butler stated shis loss at Bethel at about thirty, whes it as a notorious fact that one smalt squad ot Magruder a mea alone buried thirty-two Federal bodies after the battle. In estimating the Federal losses, we have adopted the opinions of the Confederate officer commanding, who are gentle men, aad npoa whose statement reliance may be placed.
