Cot FIsnEa-The Raleigh Register says
that had it not been for the presence of the
late gallant Colonel Fisher, on board of the
train employed to take re-inforcements to
General Beauregard, the troops would new
er have reached the field Of Manassas until the
battle had been fought and our army routed.
Several of his soldiers who had been railroad
employees happened to be along, and under
his direction, the obstacles which the con-
ductor had been bribed to place in the way
of the train were overcome, and the troops
taken to the field in time to win for us a
glorious victory,-a triumph, which unhap-
PLY, he never lived 70 witness.

A large number of the I'd Regiment Of North

% down with the measles, and | learn from a
reliable source, that they have to lay on
their blankets with only blocks for pillows.
= Not one of them has a shuck bed to lay on
70 The ladies of this city have been engaged
for a long time in making things of that sor
~ for the soldiers. What has become of tn,
TO things they have made? 1t should be looket
re to.
