FLINT lIltL, Aug. &Oth, lS6

FLINT lIILL, Aug. "0th, lSbl.
Mr.. Ep1roE: desire 20 make statement CT
or two in regard TO certain Articles Published IL
the columns Of your paper and the Southern Pres.
oytericn. We think il /: wrong for Companies t"
claim superiority over "tier Companies belonging
70 the same Regiment, and fran the same county,
where none actually exists VIC will not pretend
to say, they Intentionally lnisreprcscntcd facts.
But having con fined themselves to the operations
Of their Company, it would leave the impression
on the public mind that the other Companies re-
manned inactive. Now, the words, Z" My C"mpa-
ny being in advance of the Regiment would
leave the impression that NJ other Company was
in advance Of it. We do not know what Captain
or Company it was, nor DO we wish to know, but
his representation Is mron9, for there was another
Company in advance uf the author of that article
and 1 hope the Editor Of the So"ther" FfcsbH'
t.riam will note this fact. If there is any honor
attached TO any Company iii this mntier II Is
Coupany E, as it reached Ccntrerillc IN hour VI
go before any Company Of Infantry from the
Seventh or any Regiment reached that place
Even the Cavalry wouli not go in advance OF us
any distance, but would toll Us to come On "they
would Just keep Il little piece ahcad.' 1t is true
the Captain of Company Z fell down twice, and
presume some of the rest would have fallen down
had they not travelled buck in the day. Capt d.
did not return with his Company until 10 O'clock
in the night, two OF three hours alter the others
had retired in line ut Bull Run.
We know the people Of Edsefcld and vicinity
cherish dislike to the people OF the Sauda
Ncgiment-for what reason We do not know one
thing IS certain, she can boast OF two us lime Conf
panies as there are in the Seventh, aud equally aS
brave. The Captain of one of the Companies has
proven his valur amidst the everglades OF Florida.
His grey and venerable bead is now in front OF
the battTc-.t0rm to strike tor his country. The
other il a brother nf the immortal BEOoXS, who
struck the first blow for Southern independence,
and n near kinsman Of the ilustrious BUTLER;
and be assured, he will not return unless he coulcs
with honor and with another laurel around the
broFs of that noble family Of caroinians.
But why write thus? Everything tells us
another battle is near at hau,l,-airealy cur pick
cts arc fighting. Yes, another blopdy battle is be
fore u, and then we Will see whether one Is braver
o. more efficient than another. Ere this reaches
you, many of us may be cold unl still unon The
CORY field, where The wild battle shout. the ar
thems of victory, or the call of country for
her defence will never more arouse u. On that
battle fell let the gl":y ct Carolina NJ ma i inc
