The enemy's loss in the series of battles, in killed,
wounded, and prisoners, is estimated at 30,000. Where is the braggart Pope now?
Disgraced eternally, deprived of his command by his own government, and sent to
Minnesota to fight the Indians! Savage in his nature, he is only fit to fight
with savages!
