A letter writer to the Tribune says that they took more prisoners in the battle and pursuit than than they lost at Harper's Ferry, and the same writer in the same letter says they lost 14,500 at the latter place. Dug Wallack estimates our killed, wounded, and missing at 50,000.--Why he did not say 100,000, we are left to conjecture. Other writers represent the wounded of Gen. Lee's army as having all fallen into the hands of McClellan. These monstrous lies cannot impose even upon the Yankees, who love to be deceived almost as well as they love to lie.
