By a letter to this paper
dated near Kenesaw Mountain on the 3rd instant and received last evening,
we learn that four Wisconsin regiments - the 12th, 14th, 16th, and 17th,
- were engaged in the disastrous battle of the 27th ultimo. The loss of
the 17th regiment was on killed and twelve wounded. In a postscript were
are in formed that Sherman has gave up the railroad and that the army had
a hard time falling back form the Kenesaw mountain the night previous.
The movement is regarded as a desperate one, and it is supposed with result
in a total change of base. The present position of the enemy is regarded
as impregnable.
Another letterform the
same army, written by a member of the 26th regiment of the 22d ult., states
that the 26th had just been under sever fire, and had lost in that action
7 killed and 31 wounded. The writer adds: - "This is a large proportion
for 500 men. I cannot see that anything of importance has been gained.
Our army must have lost more that 18,000 men in this campaign - the rebels
a little more then half. This is slow work." -Milwaukee News.
