giment, of Imboden's command, lost seven captains killed and wounded. We have learned the names of none of these captains except that of Capt. Currence, who was killed.

We have received the names only of the following: Killed: W. H. Cabell,--Jones, Charles Crocket, McDowell, Stanard, Randolph.--Badly Wounded: Garnet, Whitson, J. A. Stuart, Shriver and Capt. Hill.
