Our loss was trifling…” (2) “There are remaining now in the hospitals at Washington, Georgetown and Alexandria thirteen thousand two hundred and sixty seven sick and wounded soldiers.” (3) “Thirty Eight condemned Indians were hung on the 27^th at Mankato, Minnesota, in the presence of several thousand Spectators.
