They lost in prisoners, inthe battle and subsequent pursuit, two thousand twohundred and forty-eight. Fourteen stand of colors, two pieces of artillery, three thousand three hundredstand of arms, four thousand five hundred rounds ofammunition, together with a large quantity of accou-trements, fell into the hands of the victors.
