The Independent Rangers behaved remarkably well, getting close up to the rebels, within a distance of only 75 yards. Abercrombie's brigade led the advance, and the casualties of the conflict were almost exclusively on the First Wisconsin and Eleventh Pennsylvania Regiments. Col. Jarrett and Lieut.-Col. Coulter led the skirmishers, opening upon them at 400 yards. The whole of the rebel forces at Martinsburg, consisting of four regiments of infantry and one regiment of horse, were engaged in the action. They had with them four pieces of artillery, part rifled cannon, and were commanded by Gen. Jackson. The first city troops of Philadelphia were assigned a position near the United States cavalry, under Captain Perkins, and behaved remarkably well. The casualties on the Federal side are tw

Similarly, Colonel Stone, of the Second Brigade, Third Division, had been wounded early in the fight, and was succeeded by Colonel Wister, of the One Hundred and Fiftieth Pennsylvania, who was wounded very shortly afterward, and succeeded by Colonel Dana, of the One Hundred and Forty-third Pennsylvania Regiment.

As soon as his regiment was sent to the rear, he rode to Colonel Coulter, now commanding the brigade in the absence of General Hartsuff, wounded, and offered his services, which were accepted. For the rest of that day, and for several days afterwards, he accordingly did double duty, as Adjutant of his regiment and as Acting Assistant Adjutant-General of the brigade. In the same month of September, Lieutenant Dehon was detailed as Acting Aid-de-Camp to Major-General Meade, then temporarily commanding the Twelfth Army Corps. He was present in his new posi

The passenger express train bound West on the 3d instant was thrown into the Platte river in consequence of the timbers of the east end of the bridge having been burnt away. The entire train went down, the engine turning over, and the baggage, freight, mail and two passenger cars being piled on top. The passenger cars were completely smashed, and the baggage-master is the only one of the train who escaped unhurt. Conductor Coulter and Frank Clark, the engineer, both died in a few minutes from their injuries, and Martin Field, mail agent, and Chas. Moore, fireman, and F. Fox, brakeman, were instantly killed.
