Miller says the horse belongs to Capt. Wyatt, of the Albemarle battery, and that he came by him in a legal manner. The horse was branded "C.

As the Miller says the horse belongs to Capt. Wyatt, of the Albemarle battery, and that he came by him in a legal manner. The horse was branded "C. S.," and within a few days past another "C." had been placed above the "C. S.," to make it appear that the animal had been condemned by the agents of the Government.
