TINE MASSACHUSETTS, FIFTH. 2
The Official report Of the loss Of this regiment
has not been fully made out. The Surgeon thinks
IS will cover their loss Of killed and missing %
being wounded. How they escaped with 90 slight
loss Is miracle, as this the regiment order-
| ed to support the Zouaves in their grand charge
| which they did most gallantly, remaining with
1 them, making charge after charge and stayinQ
on the field until the last moment. They retreated
TO their camp in Centrevllle, and had retired for
| the night, when tie order came from Col Frank
| lin, commanding them to retreat to Washington
which they did with many circumstances against
such an unnecessary step. Col Lawrence who
was injured internally by splinter striking him
In the chest, is much better this morning, and
wilt soon he about az.
| THE THIRTEENTH NEW YORK REGIMENT
| This regiment did good service on Sunday in
the support Of Cob Hunter on the left Colonel
Quimby and Col. Stephan, and the other officers
were at their posts throughout the contest and
were well backed mp by the men, who brought
their Remington rifles, sword bavonets, with
which all were armed, to bear on the rebels with
destructive effect. .-.-..--- .-..-.
THE BATTLE OF BULL, sLOopT, OR BIG RUN
seems that In the early history of the country

counters of the settlers with the red men. II ia

the trivial one of Bull Run, unless, indeed, both
should be displaced by the somewhat appropriate
one Of Big Run.
