Our loss will not exceed fifteen. The attack was reckless and the escape of our force a miracle. A deserter, who came in from Rienzi to-night, who left the camp on Monday, estimates the Yankee force there at 7,000. Discord prevails in the Yankee camp, which is overrun with stolen and runaway negroes.
