in the recent battles in Maryland.
II is stated that the officers and men behav-
ed themselves in manner which reflected
the highest credit on their courage and shed
honor on our gallant little State. This is
he first action that the First Delaware has
engaged in, but it is said that they fought
with the gallantry OF veteran troops. Our
city has been full OF reports during the last
few days in relation TO the number killed
and wounded, and their names, but SO far us
We can ascertain nothing reliable has us vet
been received by any of our citizens. We
take the following list Of killed and wound
ed from the New York Tribune. Many Of
the names are wrong, and We cannot vouch
for the accuracy Of the report.
