Owing 10 4 variety OF causes some II the
regiments engaged IN the battle on the 2l>t
ot July have failed 10 receive as favorable
notice they deserve.
Among such might be mentioned the 2d

cumplImeuted by that officer for their cool

boys made gallant charge down the declivitv
and up the opposite side, pouring volleys OF
musket shot INTO The enemy 5 ranks. In !his
engagement, where they were exposed an
hour and Il half 10 the double fires of the
enemy'S artillery and infantry, they lost some
thirty EIlled and sixty wounded. The Fire
Zouayes who occupied a position during the
engagement directly to the right, were often
heard % say that the a" Wisconsin bows fight
hrayely "tney are the ! oys ior us, etc.
After The order had been given 20 retreat, aud

AT CenlrevIle they hailed and re- formed
when one of the corporals in Capt. \ lien :

TO take his horse, that he would rather ga
back and be shot than 10 make n retreat.
And such the feeling nf a large portion
OF the regiment. They do not think them

The -Noneteir publishes this morning the

Queens speech however, rs well as OF that

Is he received, but his reception is distin-

GONE HOME TO RE-ENLIsT. The question
is often asked why 1t is necessary that the
three months regiments should go home when
nearly all of them intend re-enlistlng for the
war. The reasons for this are that u e re- en-
llstmept depends IN many cases upon per
mission to return and arrange business mat
tiers, also because the present regulal ions Of
the service REQUIRE each regiment 10 consist of
LOG men and officers, before 1t can be ae-
cepted whereas few of those contain more
than 140. New regiments cannot be made Up
