Tbe Confederate losses are compiled from the official reports of the commanding officers, (when such reports were published.) Of eourse, we can only guess at the losses of the enemy. The. Northern papers sejdom publish tbe official reports of the Federal Generals, and tha falter have generally proved themselves such monstrous falsifiers that out little confidence can be placed In Uisir re ports when they are published For instance, Picayuue Butler suided bis loss at Betbal at about thirty, when it la a notorious fact that one small squad or Magruder ' man aloas buried thirty-two FVderal bodies after the battle In estimating the federal losses, we save aoopwa too opinions of tbe Confederate) officers eommanding, wbo are gentle men, aad upon whoa statements reliance may be pieced. v Dales.
