.aqement during this or any other war where from
ncfird TO one-nalf Of all engaged were cut down,
We viii confess that Caseys DIVISION, OF az ieast
Na-lees Brigade, deserves no special creuili ou' at
present we claim TO have equacd III courage, III
work aud in loss on the field any portion OF the
amy that has az yet stood face TO face with ihe
Rebels We bear the reproach OF towards so KIND
" and i,dicously given by our commandern-chielb
and HciuzclmaH, Couch heainey, and oIuers nave
the credit Of doing "splendidly, aud retrieving
what we so hasely lost; but we dare them 10 COM
ru,Fon of mortality. Let our dead and wounded
sneak for U.s. Let the length OF time we checked
the entire Rebel force testify for us. And let the
ouLic usist that Justice be done pubhciy and amply
70 ID body of men who feel that where they have
earned thanks and praise, they have received only
harshness and oalumny.
Ibe whole of Naglee's brigade is aow less in size
than some regiments of il were three months AGO.
Y nat shal be done with it Until justice Is fully
doue. no officer or man in the brigade cares straw.
Il their best efforts win for them only the character
o, towards. they Win not lie very snXlous 10 make
such Efforts In the future One iladyised dispatch,
ono piece Of gross Injustice, has wounded the spirlt

and s Jealous OF their honor any that ever fought

which since this disgrace, has charm for IL.
