Within a few days cf the hat tie we know that our burying parties bad counted and interred over three thousand dead Yankees. _ In tlie wide and scat tered area of combat, it is a moderate run- position that a thousand more had lift then been discovered, besides tin*, great num bers that weic cariicd to the, otHcr side of the river by the enemy’s ambulances in a dying condition. Thus we have certain data for afiiiming the enemy’s actual loss in killed, wounded and prisoners to have been twenty four thousand men. ’To this must be added,the vast multi tudes who ran entirely away, dispersed, skulked, straggled off, deserted, &: are altogether williin the limits of truth when it is asserted, t.hat ti e army under Hooker is weaker by fifty thousand men in the ranks than oil the day he crossed the i Rappalmnnock. The Confederate loss in wounded was six tbmjsand and some hundred. Putting our killed at fifteen hundred, which is a liberal allowance, we have nrioss of eight thousand casualties. As to the four thou sand prisoners which the Yankees say tboy Law. tvciIo not believe in their ex istence. Fifteen hundred men kkc not mi?sing from our aimy after the battle ; and the enemy’s ling of truce have not returned nine hundred to Richmond — The entire loss of the Confederate army was therefore less than ten thousand.

The existing condition of the violence, ant ting it is column from tlepl ed from the valley. The firing contin ued with increased fury until ten or eleven o’clock, when the Yankees ap parently became satisfied that any fur ther advance, without a much larger force, was not at all practicable, and gradually fell back towards and near the river. In the engagement our troops beha ved handsomely, repelling a force near ly double their own ami indicting seri ous injury upon the enemy. Our own loss was not considerable, though some of Early’s brigades suffered severely. As soon as the enemy’s movements opposite Early were ascertained, Wright’s brigade of Georgians were ordered up, from Massaponax Church, seven miles distant to the support of Early’s left. The brigade moved promptly, and in an hour and a half from the receipt of their order were in i no, immediately to the left of Hamil iles below the confluence with the Rapidan, is tho United States Ford ; from this ford, in a Southeruly direc tion, runs the old Aline Road, which crosses at a distance of five miles from the river the plank road at the point already described, ten miles above Fredericksburg, and five miles below Chancellorsville.

As soon as Y\ right began his furious attack upon the cne- my’s right ilutdi. and rear, the Yankees upon tlie plank and turnpike roads, in Posey’s and Mahoue’s front, began to give way, and by night hud been pres sed back lo Chancellorsville, their line of skirmishers and pickets being advan ced down boili of the roads some eight hundred or one thousand yards. After dark Wright was ordered back to the plank road at a point where the road from the-furnace falls into the former. Here the main body of our army slept during Friday night. Early Saturday morning, Jackson, with A. P. Hill’s and Rhodes’ divisions, passed up the left by the way of the iron-furnace,and passing on, inclined to the North,struck the plank road some where near Wil derness'Church.

It was by this latter road, and by the road from Ely’s Ford, that Hooker made his ad vance upon Chancellorsville. Let us now return to the operations of our army. During the day (Thurs day) all was comparatively quiet in j 11118 front of Early, and it was even thought j Alltlcli; that a portion of the enemy’s force had reerossed the river. About the middle of the afternoon, the enemy’s advance line of skirmishers had advanced down the turnpike, until, having fallen upon Mahoue’s skirmishers, a brisk firing be gan, which continued during the after- . witi, little effect on either side, the enemy being very reluctant; iu en gage us in our strong position, and our own force being too weak to make an aggressive movement. ■ During the night of Thursday, Gen eral Lee ordered Jackson, with A. P. Hill’s and Rhodes’ (formerly D. H. Hill’s) divisions to the support of Gen. Anderson, where they arrived about eight o’clock on Friday morning. This left Earlv alone with his division on ted with the left of MoLaw’s, who had come up in tlie night, and was then with his centre ou the turnpike road, with his right extending across in the direction o£ the United States Ford ; and his left, as just stated, connecting with Anderson’s right. This left a long Interval between son’s left and Jackson’s right, which the enemy perceiving, was ena bled to take advantage of, and about 2 P. M. threw down a strong column and took possession of the iron furnace,thus i cutting off onr connection with Jack- son, and capturing several ambulances and wagons belonging to Jackson’s train, and, it is said, taking prisoners nourly un entire Oarolinn regiment. As soon as this movement of the enemy was discovered by Gen. Anderson, he despatched-Posey to meet the enemy, and, if possible, retake the position at the furnace. Posey’s advance soon engaged the enemy, who, appearing in overwhelming numbers, Gen. P. was obliged to retire. Wright, with three of his regiments, was ordered to Po sey’s support, and soon the enemy gave way across the run that llows at the our right, and Me’Laws division with p oot 0 ftj ic b jp on which the furnace is Wilcox’s brigade of Anderson’s divis ion, in front of Fredericksburg. * As j Chronicle tf Sentinel.

This was one of the most bril liant engagements of tho^whole week’s fighting, and contributed largely to tlie complete \ictory which we gained 011 Sunday morning. The enemy on our right (their left) were conipartive- ly quiet during tlie day ; but whenev er a chance presented, the gaiiauc Me^ Laws threw his force upon them, i\vtt drove them into their works. And thus Saturday ni#bt closed upon us. Nothing ui interest had occurred in front or below Fredericksburg, except that tjwr indication showed the enemy wei e disposed to abandon their position in front of Early. At daylight Sunday morning our ar ray commenced advancing upon the eueniy from all points.- We were now almost completely around him, bat a single point of escape being open to him, that by way of the Ely’s ford and U. S. ford roads. j ifbattis in front arid alq ; front, while ins artillenr ted by earth works, wig ery eminencseand swellf so"as to get a direct lit upon all points of on|j On our gallant army ranks played upon by an incessant fire of shell, grape and -canister from the front, the right and the left. On our gallant commander pressed through the woods, over tlie fields, up the hills, . unto the very mouths of the enemy’s batteries, and up to the long li««of ri fle-pits. YYitli a terrible shout they sprang forw-ard, and rushing through the abattis, they gained tlie bank iu front of the rifle-pits, when the enemy a-ve way in great confusion and fled. T'rij-was on our extreme left, under Jackson, aw] that portion of our cen tre, where Wrigki. Posey and Perry were engaged. The c^emy still held their position on our rigltt, :i nd that portion of our centre in front of Ma- hone. Soon, however, McLaws press ing them vigorously, they 1 gave way in Ris front, and the centre outer line of the enemy’s works were in our posses sion. I shall not attempt to describe this terrible and gallant charge of our army. I will .merely say that I have never during the whole war seen so strong a position carried so quickly and with so little loss. The charge of our men was like a ble avalanche, which bore everything away with it without feeling the resistance. The enemy had now couwentratecl a heavy fire iu their inner works, close around the house at Chancellorsville, and,with their artillery commenced a furious fire across the open field, and upon our men, who having gained the north side of their outer line of breast works were completely exposed to this murderous fire. There was some confusion in our ranks, consequent upon the difficulty experienced by our men in picking their way through the fallen timber in front of tlie enemy’s line ot rifle pits, and some time elapsed before the differ ent- brigades could be reformed. Du ring this time the enemy kept tr mur derous fire upon us, killing and woun- ding a great many. Wright’s brigade being on our right at this point, was ordered by General Anderson to move forward and dislodge the enemy from his strong position around the house. But one of his regiments having as yet formed, (the 3d Georgia,) he ordered it forward and, supported by Posey,swept across the field and up to the trenches around tlie house. Just as ‘Wright commenced this last movement,a cloud of smoke was seen to rise from the house, and it then became apparent: that the Vandals had fired it prepara- tory to leaving. As Wright flew across the" field the Yhnkees gave way and fled, utterly routed, down the Ely’s fouj road. Just at this moment Stuart came up on our left, (now in command of Jaqk- sou’s corps,) and the whole field was ours. At this point we captured a great many prisoners, Anderson’s di vision alone taking more than 2,500. Wright continued to push the flying Y’ankees down the Ely’s 1- ord road, until his advance line of skirmishers be came engaged with a lieavy body of the enemy,posted in the woods on both sides of the road, strongly supported by artillerv. Here his skirmishers were forced to fall back ; and then pushing two companies further to the right, he directed them to push through the woods and endeavor to get into the enemy’s rear. Very soon these two companies (of the 3d Georgia,) became engaged with a Yankee regiment, and, after the exchange of a few rounds, succeeded in capturing the entire re i- inent with their Colonel,Bostick,Lieut. Colonel Merwin, Major and Adjutant, and about 700 men. This was the 27 th Connecticut. •The skirmishers were now halted, and Gett. Txe coming upon the field, ordered our army to form on the plank road above Chancellorsville, extending our line in a south-easterly direction dowm the turnpike below Chancellors ville, with our centre resting about the latter point. Just then we heard that during the morning the enemy had, taking advan tage of our very weak force, crossed at Fredericksburg, and driving Barksdale, with great loss, from the town, had tidvamnid upon and taken possession of Marye’s heights, capturing several pieces of the Washington Artillery. Gen. McLaws was ordered- to move down at once to the support of Barks dale and Wilcox; the latter being pres sed back from his position at Bank’s Ford, had fallen back as fur as Salem Church, five miles above Fredericks burg. Mowing rapidly, McLaws, with Ins own division and Mahone s brigade, of Anderson’s division, reached the Church late in the afternoon, and ju^t in time to save Wilcox, who was be ing heavily pressed by an overwhelming force. For an hour or more the Yankees pressed YIcLaws heavily ; his men w*ere almost exhausted by the forced march of over ten miles, and the constant fighting of tbe entire morning around Chancellorsville ; but, gallant fellows, they bore themselves like veterans, as they are,and soon the Yankees gave way, when, springing forward with a shout, they drove them back w ith great slaughter. Indeed, this have been the most sanguinary fight of the week, judging from the number of Yankees dead and wounded left upon the field. Our owu loss at this point was considerable, but McLaws contra-
