The Lynchburg Virginian learns through a letter from the Rev. W. A Crocker, Supt. of the Army Intelligence office, himself now at Gainsville, that the loss in killed in our recent battles will not exceed 500, and the wounded (most of these slightly) reaches between 15 and 1,600. Mr. Crocker has every facility for arriving at a correct estimate. He says that the great disparity between our loss and that of the Yankees is truly remarkable, and most astounding to the enemy. He says that between fifty and a hundred ambulances have been engaged day and night in removing the Yankee wounded from Manassas, and up to Saturday last wounded still remained on the field. Where Jackson fought on Friday the ground is covered four deep with Yankee slain, the slaughter there being the most terrible of the war. The very name of Jackson, he says, is a terror to the foe. He reports that our commissaries are buying abundance of stores in Maryland, and getting bacon for ten cents a pound. He estimates the Yankee loss in killed and wounded at 12,000 and says that their whole army is utterly demoralized. They say that Pope is a coward, McDowell a traitor, and as for McClellan, they scarcely venture an opinion now. They have lost confidence in their officers, and conceive a high opinion of ours.
