            Although Hooker crossed the river without baggage, the spoils of the battle field have proved unusually valuable.  Already fifty thousand muskets and rifles have been picked up and secured, and are being sent to Richmond by rail.  The quantity of great coats, knapsacks and rations, thrown away by the enemy, exceeds anything that has occurred during the war.–Richmond Examiner, 15th.
