By a letter to this paper dated near Kennesaw Mountain on the 3rd instant and received last evening, we learn that four Wisconsin regiments – the 12th, 14th, 16th, and 17th, – were engaged in the disastrous battle of the 27th ultimo. The loss of the 17th regiment was on killed and twelve wounded. In a postscript were are in formed that Sherman has gave up the railroad and that the army had a hard time falling back form the Kennesaw mountain the night previous. The movement is regarded as a desperate one, and it is supposed with result in a total change of base. The present position of the enemy is regarded as impregnable.
Another letterform the same army, written by a member of the 26th regiment of the 22d ult., states that the 26th had just been under sever fire, and had lost in that action 7 killed and 31 wounded. The writer adds: – “This is a large proportion for 500 men. I cannot see that anything of importance has been gained. Our army must have lost more that 18,000 men in this campaign – the rebels a little more then half. This is slow work.” -Milwaukee News.
