Succeeding despatches in the Federal papers have gradually reduced the numbers until they have arrived at the following estimate :—

“The Chicego Tribune places our losses at from 600 to 1,000 killed, and from 3,000 to 4,000 wounded, The rebel loss is twice that number.”

Comment upen these differences is unnecessary. The particulars of the battle, aebording to the Northern and Western newspaper correspondents, appear te be—

Their cavalry, formed of soldiers of the former Neapolitan army, is divided in squad- reas, with distinctive numbers; it ranges through the provinces of Foggia, Bari, and Lecce. The provisions taken by the reactionary bands are paid tor with exactitude. At its very outset, this year, the reaction displays extraordinary resolution aad | spirit of organisation.
