INCIDENTS, &C., sc.
Among the prisoners We yesterday found
Orderly Sergeant Stanley NJ. Warner, of the
Texas Seventh. This gentleman is q graduate
OF Norwich University, and q classmate of
Lieut.. Col. Ransom, Of the Illinois Eleventh.
by one of those remarkable circumstances
which mark eyentful life, the Texas Seventh
and the Illinois Eleventh were pittcd against
each other outside Of the entertainments at
Fort Donelson. These two regiments almost
annihilated each other, suffering fur greater
loss than any other on either side. These old
classmates and friends were opposed to each
other in deadly strife. One Of them received
an ugly but not dangerous wound in the slloul-
dcr, and the other was taken prisoner. Such
is life. It may not be out of place in this
] connection f1 re.nort- that F,- o:r.1,k ,,....
