g these are a number of minor officers. In conversation with one of them — a man of more than ordinary intelligence — he stated that Burnside's forces did not exceed 100,000 men, and that no confidence is felt among the troops that they will be successful in the straggle now in progress, and which resulted with such decided advantage to our arms on Saturday. He says, that at no time since the war commenced has there been a more despondent feeling among their troops. On Sunday morning Gen. Lee expressed himself as highly gratified with the result of the previous day's work. He thinks our loss cannot exceed 1,200 in killed and wounded. The casualties.

Lee permitted the enemy to come over, or whether he could have prevented it had he tried. It seems to us that he bad every reason to wish them to come over. He hadem to come over, and try their fortune on the very ground which was the theatre of the battle, several weeks age. This is the tenth pitched battle in which General Lee has commanded, within less than six months, and in all of them he has been victorious. No other campaign except that of Italy in 1796, and that of France in 1814, presents such a result. Our people are cheered by the reflection that their armies are commanded by two Generals who have no rival in the art of war — Lee on the Rappahannock, and Johnston in the Southwest. They are as superior to the Yankee Generals in every quality that constitutes the military chief as the soldiers they le
