Official List of the Losses in the Irish ae, ae FROM THE ARMY’S HEADQUARTERS. Heapquarters, ARMY OF PoTomAc, Sept. 23—evening. Information received to-day from a servant who de- eerted from the rebels yesterday, shows tneir loss in general officers in the late battle was greater than ours. General Wright, of Georgia, was wounded in two places; General Branch, of North Carolina, was killed; General Longstreet was wounded; Major General Anderson, com- manding a division, was wounded; General Colquit, of Georgia, was killed. ‘The rebols admit their loss to be 20,000 at the batile of Autietam, and 30,000 since they entered Maryland. Tho Alabama brigade, commanded by Col. Corning, Aeting Brigadier General, kas not been able to muster fifty men since the battle. ‘The residents of this section of Maryland have suffered terribly since its occupation by the two armies. In many eaves families which, a fow days ago, were in comfortable etroumstances, are now wanting the necessaries of life. All forage and fuel, and also subsistence used by the ewmy , whether taken in the regular way by a responsible @Mcer, or taken indiscrimimately by those in want, {@ promptly paid for by Goneral Ingalls, Chief Quar. termaster of the Army, and Colonel Clark, Chief of Sub. Siatence, upon the proper affidavits being made. The @aime of those whose farms have boen laid waste and Dalldings destroyed during the battle, are referred to the euthorities at Washington fer settlement. A people 20 Yeyal, and who have sacrificed so much for the Union as ‘Qe in this section of the State, are not only deserving @f the sympathy of every lever of the Union, but the gevernment should take the matter in hand and instantly relieve their wants, The movements of the rebcls are mysterious. The military authorities here fee) satisfied that the whole rebel army is still on the opposite side of the Potomac, feformation vo that effect having been received to-day. General Lee ie also there, Their intentions are not yet @eveloped. An attempt te reoccupy Maryland must be Gonsidered impracticable. Without tents, and in many eases witbont shoes or blankets, the present position of the rebol army would be very uncomfortable if a cold fala should occur. With the present weather overcoats end blankots are almcst indispensable at night. THE REPORTS FROM SHARPSBURG. Barrmome, Sept. 23, 1862. ‘The American’s correspondent at Sharpeburg, under date of 224, says:— ‘Thore bas come a lull, in which the eontending armics ere lying quietly, with the Potomac between them, await- fag developments, whieh will at no distant day probably Dring them again in collision. Neither will rush unadvi- Sedly to a new contest, without exhausting all precaution that generalship and military skill caw suggest. Since the reconnoissance across the Potomac, at Clarks- burg, on Saturday last, perfect quict has reigned along the Unes, scarcely disturbed even by skirmishing of pickets ‘We hold the river at Sharpsburg in strong force, while ‘ho rebels occupy the opposite bank, but not, it is thought, force. We also occupy Williamsport. Barper’s Ferry is likewise in our possession, and we thus stand in a position to check a recrossing to this State ‘te recommence offensive operations. ‘The army is not idle. New regiments are receiving in- @tructions necessary to perfect them as soldiers, for, though their ean and dash in the great battle were every- where referred to with admiration, It is flot the less tree ‘that they were not equal to the trying positions in which they wore sometimes placed by emergencies of the fight. ‘The army, moreover, is not still. Large columns were fm motion to-day, going in @ direction that it is not proper to mention. A regiment of cavalry crossed the river last night, about three miles from Sharpsbwpg, on a reconpeissance. The rebels showed thomselves on the edge of the woods, but made no domonstration. ‘This village is literally overwhelmed by the army. Boldiors swarm everywhere, and regiments and divisions move in eo many directions that the eye becomes eon- fused in the attempt to detect the purpose of what is @ring on. Gen. McCiellan’s headquarters are in the vicinity, and he can be soon several times a day, moving about, over. Qooking and directing movements in pregress. Just outside of Sharpsburg is a small encamparent of Rospilal tents, accommodating the wounded left by the rebels in their retreat. They number three or four bun- Gred, and include many severe cases. Two of their sur- eons remain with and bave charge of them. They also receive from our surgeons all the attention and supplies they need. There are not many officers among them of a Qigher grade than captain. ‘The battle field of Wednesday, is daily trampled by a @nall ormy of curiosity seekers, from the West, North ‘and East. The Geld is now pretty well cleared of ali ma- terial evidence of the struggle. Tho dead have all been Deried, except the black and putrid bodies of some poor fellows who had crept into secluded corners, and thus * qeoaped the soarch of the burying parties. In tho last two battles the wounded have suffered moch less from exposure and want of attention than in any previogs fight. Ambulance service was more prompt ‘aad surgoons more energotic and efficient, and bospital eupplics more quickly furnished than before. The Savi- tary Committce are doing @ work in caring for the wound- ed that cannot be too frequently or earnestly com- woendod. ‘The wounded bave been all removed; those who could be were transported to Hagerstown, Chambersburg, Har. risburg, and other places. A numbor of the more dan- gorously wounded, whom it would have been death to have removed any distance, still remain in houses and Darne in tho vicinity of the field which have beon fitted ‘ep as temporary hospitals, A ride through the Comberland Valley, from Harris- burg to Hagerstown, impréesser one with tho wisdom of the robes in attempting to bring their famished legions into that Jand of abundance; It also suggests the im- portance of 8 repulse that kept them oot of a region in which they would have found supplies sufficient to feed ad recruit thoir army for months. THE REPORTS FROM HARRISBURG. Rannsnuna, Pa., Sept. 28, 18602. We bave some stirring news frem tho army in Mary- Japd and Virginia, received through @ gentleman who NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, "SEPTEMBER 24, 1862, veached here last night, and who was with the Union ‘army last Saturday and Sunday. He says that the Union ‘army is rupidly crossing into Virginia at Williamepert. ‘Genera: Kenley’s brigade is in the advance, and went ‘over the river on Sunday night. General Couch’s division also cressed the Petomacon Menday. General Franklin’s corps was to follew tmmediately. General McClellan and staff were at Williamsport, ac- tively engaged in superintending the crossing of the ‘troops. An impression prevailed in the army that the corps of Generals Heintzelman and Sigel were now in Virginia, ‘and their mission was to stop the retreat of the rebels. ‘Hanniasvna, Pa. , Sept. 23—P. M. From reliable information received here tnrough pri ‘vate sources, we have good reason to believe that the rebei army has not entirely left Maryland. On the con- trary, they are reported to be in considerable numbers fm the neighborhood of Williamsport, and that heavy sxirmisbing is still going on at that point and on both sides of the river. The alleged treachery of Colonel Miles 1s still talked ‘of in official quarters, aud there is good reason for assort- Sng that if it had not been for this surrender the rebellion ‘would have undoubtedly received its death blow. Asalute of one hundred duns is now being fired from the Capitol in honor of the chivatric sonsof Pennsylvania who responded to the callof Governor Curtin for the defence of the State against rebel invasion. Goy. Curtin has issaed @ general order, returning thanks to the people for the noble response to his call for 50,000 voluntecrs to resist invasion. In consequence of those velunteering being deprived, by their absence, of the right of appeal under the regula: tions for the coming draft, and to ascertain with certain. ty tho numbers now in the field trom Philadelphia, Alle- ghany, Erie and other counties, the day for the draft is Postponed to the 16th of October. The reports that our army has erossed the Potomas are withont foundation. Detachments have been thrown at to feel the position and strength of the rebels, but no crossing has been effeeted. Governor Curtin has gone to Alteona to attend the meeting of tho Governors of the toyal States. THE REPORTS FROM WASHINGTON. ‘Wasuineton , Sept. 23, 1862. Telegraphic advices from Gen, McClellan’s army this morning state that everything remains quiet at the ford near Shepardstown. The forces on either side of the river are cautiously watching each other. The rebels keep their men out of sight, but occasionally a solitary horseman making his appearance on the opposite bluff» and after a brief observation disappears. It is thought that the rebels are lying in wait, in hope that a portion of our forces may be indueed to cross and fall into the ambush. Wasurmaton , Sept. 23—10 P. M. There is no news of any importance from General Mc- Ciellan’s army to-night. Everthing remains quiet on the Potomac, and the rebels do not show themselves in force, Dut are supposed to be in force atashort distance back from the river. Large pumbers of parties arrive here by every train some from curiosity to view the late battle fields, bui most of them come to visit wounded friends and relatives, or to recover the bodies ef such who have been slain in the late sanguinary confiicis.

Syracusg, Sept. 23—Evening. ‘The Republican Convention to-morrow will be one of the strongest in point of numbers inside and outside, ever convened in the State, Already every hotel is crowded. ‘The St. Charles, Voorhees Globe, and Syracuse houses are full. The streets are covered with people. The struggle for the nominations promises to be unusually bitter, ama from present appearances, the Convention is likely to hold three days. Horace Greeley, who has been here since Monday, is boldly prossivg Genorat Wadsworth and a strong emanci* pation platform upon the convention. At present matters set decidedly that way, the proclamation of the Presi- dent ‘being used effectually by = Wadeworth’s friends, who insist that the candidate and platform at this time must strongly back up the President. Their argument is, that every democrat will denounce the proclamation, and no temportzing oF compromise will do in regard to the candidate or plat- form. Tharlow Weed preeses Gen. Dix, but is said to contem plate falling back on Col. Robert H. Van Valkenburg. Senator Harris’ party go for Lyman Tremain, ‘The Dix men affect confidence, and say out of three hundred and eighty-four delegates, and giving Wadsworth the whole one hundred and twenty-eight radical republi- cans, he cannot get enough whig republicans or Union democrats to nominave him, and declare ther determina. tion not to yield. ‘The struggle is likely to be one of great interest, as the strongest men of all interests are present. Speaker Ray- mond does not declare in favor of any candidate at present for Governor. ‘The nomination seens to liy at presont between Messrs, Morgan, Fenton, Dix and Wadsworth. A lotter is said wo be im the possession of a delegate from Governor Morgan, deslining a renomination. The Dix men, if they succeed, will declare in fayor of laying down no platform, except that contained in the cali. Among such a vast body of men wire-pelling jv difficult, and the whole fight is likely to Be open con For Lieutenant Governor, Lyman Tremaine and C. W. Leavenwurth are talked of, but a0 one is decidedly abead. : G, Laduc, of Herkimer, seems to have the inside track for Canal Commissioner. W. Clark,of Montgomery, and Joba Fulton, of Saratoga, are alsonamed. C. B. Freeman, of Montgomery, is asked for by the constitutional Union- jats, a sprinkling of whem are here on the look out. For Clerk of Court of Appeals the prominent names are Charles Hughes, the present clerk, Angel, of Alleghany, ana Risley, of Chautauque, Clerk of Assembly. No one seems likely to enter the field against Forrest, the present State Prison Inspoctor, whose large vote at the last election will probably secure a renomination. It is rumored that every seat from the city of Now York will be contested, aod many contestants aro already here. A Double Congressional Convention. SyRacusn, A 4 23, 1862.

We have reliable information from Mumfordaville. Our informant was upon the ground pppoe tho whole transaction. On Saturday night about one o'clock, the rebels, eleven regiments strong, under Gen. Chalmers, appeared in front ‘the fortiiications and sent in a flag of truce demanding surrender. Col. Wilder replied that his business was to A8 soon as it was light the robels oj with artillery, from the heights on t pioocs and from the north with two mountain howitzer The guns from the works—four in number—rephied with terrible offect, silencing all the rebels’ guns but three after some two hours.

Onur fore plied at intervals, reserving the fire, except whem tho enemy would approach within range, Thus mat- tors lasted for three or more hours, when Col.

M. the firing ceased on both sides, without any serious ro- sults to either side, only some two of our skirmishers being killed. The result showed that the demonstration on Tuesday was only designed to attract the attention of Colonel Dunham, while a heavy column of Bragg's forces crossed Green fiver above, and moving down, secured the heights on the north, which eff commanded the works, which movement w fected, and on Wednesday morning Colonel D. foun self completely surrounded by an overwhelming and had no alternative than to surrender or litera der his entire command.

Colonels Duiham and Wilder both acted most gal- lantly, and doserve the commendation of all. Moat cer- tainly no better fight has been made during the war than that by Colonel Wilder on Sunday: and on Monday Col.

Perfect good feeling and harmony existed be- tween tho and no rivalry or disagreement, as has been intim yr were wi Ys column, and pe ean inanéordvine, unless oe tee baeged sheen.
