Estimate of the rebel loss.--A letter from Manassas dated July 23, contains the following important admission :--From a very accurate report, just placed in my possession, it would appear that our loss in killed on the field was only between 500 and 600.
This is a great loss, it is true, for they were the bravest of the army, and from the splendor with which they charged were the best targets of the enemy.
Our wounded will number between 2,000 and 3,000.
Very many of them are only slightly hurt in the hand, foot, arm, &c.--N. O. Picayune, July 27.
