Losses is the Tennessee Valley.
--We find in the Huntsville
Advocate, of the 17th ult., a copy of a report made to
Col. Roddy by

Leighton, Ala., of the depredations upon the citizens between
Big Bear Creek and
Town Creek, committed by the
Yankees under
Gen. Dodge, in April last.
The report embraces a list of the losses sustained by such citizen, as well as the aggregate.
We have only room for the latter:
