Col. Kimball OF the 18th regiment. who Is
now ut his residence In Martin county. was
called home by the Heath ola lovely daugh-
ter. The affection he Il suffering. calls forth
the sympathy OF hundreds Of his friends
throughout the State. Col. x. has been alb
sent with his regiment for eight months and

a stroke Of unusual severity.
There is no Disgusting the fact. says the
indianapolis Journal that the Ohio and Vir-
GINA regiments In the recent battleinW esteru
Virginia. ran like scared dogs. The 25th
Ohio ran over the 18th Indiana, while the
latter vas In line Of battle and threw them
into some confusion, which was the principal
cause Of the 18th losing as many men as
they did. The 18th recovered from the mo-
mentary shock and succeeded in retaking
SOM prisoners of a body of three hundred
men IL had captured and compelled 10 stack
arms before the needless and precl plate re-
treat OF the 25th Ohio. Had the Ohio and
Virginia troops stood their ground, the vic.
tory Of Gen. Milroy would have been more
complete, as he would certainly have captur-
cd all. or nearly all OF the enemy with their
supplies aud equipments. The Indiana
troops did all the good fighting that was done.
and deserve all the credit OF the battle. 30
far. the Hoosier boys have been successful
ia every engagement where they crossed fire
with fhe enemy.
