cond New-Hampshire regiment, than which a more reliable one cannot be found in the service. Our right at this time rested in the direction of the Richmond and Williamsburgh turnpike, and our left towards Gen. Kearney's division. Moving forward my regiment, we became engaged with the enemy's reserve picket in considerable force, and drove them back, step by step. At this time we met with a severe loss, by the wounding of Second Lieut. Joseph H. Dalton, immediately followed by that of Captains Wild, Carruth and Chamberlin, and Second Lieutenants Thomas and Parkinson, who were carried to the rear, besides quite a number of non-commissioned officers, leaving two companies under the command of corporals. After a brisk encounter of about an hour I ordered my whole line to move forward, which they did with a shout, the enemy giving way before us, bearing with them most of their killed and wounded. We drove them through the open fields and swamp, wading in many places nearly to our w

I have to mention, as worthy of particular praise, the conduct of the Fifty-first regiment New-York volunteers, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel R. B. Potter; the Fifty-first regiment Pennsylvania volunteers, commanded by Colonel J. F. Hartrauft; and the Twenty-first regiment Massachusetts volunteers, commanded by Colonel W. S. Clark. Col. E. A. Wild, of the Thirty-fifth Massachusetts volunteers, was wounded severely in the arm while forming his regiment under the enemy's fire. I annex a list of killed and wounded in this engagement, amounting to killed, ten; wounded, eighty-three; missing, twenty-three; total, one hundred and sixteen. On the fifteenth instant, at one o'clock, we resumed our march in pursuit of the enemy, coming up with them near Antietam Creek, and bivouacking in front of their lines. During the morning of the

his traitorous dogmas, much to the annoyance of his loyal neighbors, and that on one occasion, at a place of worship, while prayer for the President of the United States was being read, his conduct was such as to annoy and disgust the loyal portion of the congregation; and believing that a wholesome example is necessary for the benefit of Mr. Wingfield in particular, and the class in this community he represents in general — men of education and ability, who use the talents God has given them, for the purpose of stirring up strife against the Government of the United States; it is therefore ordered that the Provost-Marshal arrest Mr. S. H. Wingfield, and that he be turned over to Colonel Swtelle to work for three (3) months cleaning the streets of Norfolk and Portsmouth, thus employing his time for the benefit of that Government he has abused, and in a small way atone for his disloyalty and treason.

e report was accepted. James Bartlett was appointed a member of the military committee, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of E. A. Wild, who had been commissioned a captain in the First Massachusetts Regiment of Volunteers. Captain Wild rose by gallant and meritorious service to the rank of Brigadier General of Volunteers. He lost his right arm in the service. On motion of William Aspinwall, it was voted that only one-half of the fifteen thousand dollars appropriated at therbal report showing that they had enlisted one hundred men, which the committee believed would more than cover the town's quota under both calls. The thanks of the town were then voted to the committee. A committee was appointed to wait upon Colonel Wild, who was then at home on leave, and invite him to be present. On appearing he was warmly greeted. He thanked his fellow-citizens for their warm sympathies. The meeting adjourned with three rousing cheers for the Union. September 11th, The

Ms. We have all been made very glad, to-day, by the receipt of your pencilled note, dated Hatteras Inlet, July 31st, announcing your safe arrival at Newbern, though a little surprised at N. C. your sudden removal with Wild's Brigade, probably to Morris Gen. E. A. Wild. Island. . . . You may readily suppose that I was very much disappointed in not being able to see you, and give you my parting blessing and a farewell grasp of the hand, when your regiment marched through Boston. Multitudes, with myself, were greatly disappointed that the regiment did not parade on the Common, where we all expected to take our farewell leave. I followed you, however, all the way down to the vessel, hoping to speak to you; bu
