The Daily Dispatch: September 7, 1861., [Electronic resource], article 8 (search)
loss in killed and wounded and prisoners cannot be less than from forty to fifty. The two hills are nine miles in advance of any of our present camps, and are considered very important positions. As to our future movements, "we shall see what we shall see." Our regiment is now in fine condition, and under the leadership of that accomplished soldier and gentleman, (Col. A. P. Hill.) who has won the enthusiastic admiration of every man under him, you will hear from us whenever we may meet our hireling foe. We have had a hard time — packing up machinery at Harper's Ferry, climbing mountains about Romney, waiting for Patterson at Darkesville, marching from Winchester to Manassas with nothing to eat, and, (by the miserable mismanagement of somebody,) getting there just too late for the great fight; and our boys are anxious for an opportunity to show that they can meet the dangers of the field as bravely as they have done the drudgery of the camp and the hardships of the march.
