On the morning of the 16th it was discovered that during tsabled from duty. Fifty prisoners and one stand of colors were captured by the regiment. In the fall of Lieutenant-Colonel Lennard, we most deeply mourn the loss of as heroic an officer as has ever drawn sword in defense of his country, and o
