illed and some thirty or forty wounded. We learn that Col. Singeltary was killed early in the action, by a ball which struck him in the head. He was engaged at the time in directing the fire of his men, and was not rashly exposing himself, as has been reported. He was precisely in the spot where duty called him as an officer. A more daring man never lived. His loss is deeply felt and deplored, not only by his officers and men, but by the State. We learn that as soon as he fell, Major Hargrove, of Granville, on whom the command devolved, promptly assumed it, and bore himself with much coolness and courage. But the enemy at length brought up their artillery, and as our forces had no artillery, they were compelled to retreat, which they did in good order. We learn that our officers and men behaved well. It was the first conflict in which they had been engaged, and they had no veteran troops to set them an example; yet they fired deliberately, taking sure aim, and maintain
