nave seen seVeraI requests N your paper
70 Captains of companies 10 send the l!sts of
tue killed and wounded in The mana-sas bat
tie, which requests would have been COM
piled with, bat Cavalry companies are kept
on the outpoSt-, on the alert, scouting, and
have little leisure for welding the pen, where
their duty is to the sword. / hope, therefore,
II will not bn considered ont of place FOR the
weaker sex to discharge that duty. L Will en-
deaVoT 10 make my report as succnCt as pos
sinle, as the fault with ladies is they are too
prolix. Itis with no desire TO put the COM
Dany that l write, as l have no relatives in
1t, and am not & resident OF the State.
Col J. l. Il Stuart arranged the compa-
MES so that the first organized were In ad-
vance: the oldest being Capt Carriers, as 1t
was company prior to John Browns inva
sion. 4 the lime when the New York Zou-
aves were attempting 10 ou flank Capt I'm
boden'S battery, " hieh had NE such able
service, Col Stuart gave the order to charge
to the Cavalry, which was gallantly and
daringiy obeyed by the Loudoun Cavalry
Leapiug a fence, and through balls thick
enough TO blind them, they succeeded in
breaking the lines of the Xoudfes, who were
around Shermans battery, which rendered
th1t an easy conquest afterwards.
This was the only company who charged at
that time, owing, 1T is thou ht, to the fact that
the CLARK Cavalry did not understand the COM
IL and hence the dreadful havoc in Captain
CaTter's ranks, who charged forward with
only thirty three men (Messrs J. T. Carter,
Gus Garter, I. Ieath. T.. ShamIin, Plast ter,
and +. Carter having been detailed on other
duty, were absent Or the frat four in front,
(SeIgeants and Corporals, Enoch MCCARTHY
James Francis, John DeButts and Robert
Fletcher,) the two first were killed instantly,
riddied with balls. Fletcher and DeButts
each received two balls in their right arms;
badly wounded. Captain Garter lead them
until his horse was shot and his
clothes torn III shreds from their balls. He

CAROLINE COUNTY, VIRGINIA.
Says the Fredericksburg Recorder:
The county Of Caroline will not have TO
bring her militia into the field, her quota Of
volunteers being much larger than the requi-
ition Of the Governor called for In his pro-
clanation of the Goth. This is 4 noble county
-prnet tising exactly what it breaches. 1t
voted for separation, aud now II shows q
Willingness TO back its voting BY
any anon t Of fighting that may be necessary.
