The Daily Dispatch: July 22, 1863., [Electronic resource], Gen Lee's losses. (search)
Gen Lee's losses. A statement was made in some of the Yankee newspapers, apparently upon the authority of Gen. Meade, that Gen. Lee's losses in the battle of Gettysburg amounted to 33,000 men! A more monstrous falsehood was never published even in a Yankee newspaper. It contradicts itself, and is so plainly contradicted byat a single man of his army was allowed to cross the Potomac? Why was it not pursued sword in hand, and either killed or captured by the innumerable cavalry which Meade had at hand? Why did the Yankees first leave the field of battle, and leave it in possession of an army which had suffered so much? Why was Gen. Lee allowed to w would occasion the destruction of any army under 100,000 men strong, in such weather as we have had, and in the face of a force numerically so superior as that of Meade's. It would have been routed beyond the possibility of rallying. It would have dissolved like a snow wreath in the warm rains of Spring. It would have become tot

We have nothing really definite or satisfactory as to the present location of our army, and only rumors with reference to the movements of the enemy. Some of the passengers who came down on the Central train yesterday evening assert positively that the main body of Meade's forces has crossed the Potomac at different fords east of the mountains, whilst others maintain that there is no considerable force of the enemy on the South side of the river, and that they have only their cavalry on the Virginia side. Between these conflicting statements it is difficult to arrive at the truth.

otomac afford additional evidence that with the exception of the capture of 1,500 rebels, which we announced yesterday, the whole army got over the Potomac in perfect safety. Not even a gun a caisson or wheel, was left behind as a trophy for General Meade's army, so completely was the retreat executed. The address to his army, dates Saturday, which was allowed to fall into the hands of Gen. Kilpatrick at Hagerstown, and which indicated his intention to risk a decisive battle, looks now like a clever ruse of Gen. Lee to deceive our Generals while he was passing his army securely into Virginia, whither all of his valuable trains of stores, ammunition, and rich plunder, had preceded him. Gen. Meade's army is in the vicinity of Berlin, Md., and it is thought that some days will be occupied in recuperating both men and horses after their fatiguing marches in the intense heat. Gen. Lee's army is reported to be pushing on as rapidly as possible towards Culpeper, and will probably
