The emo Of the march; having fought tivs
p;tched battles in as luSny dsJr; having sus-
tsined terrible logs, is it not angular that

North Carolina naA Ga1res furnished fnllJ
ore half the forces engaged IN the series OF bit
tlss-36 to 40 regiments each--yet North Osr-
olina and Georgia have found no p'acs in tas
Richmond papers. Go around sTloTg the
wounded, st hospitals md private rosice1ces-
You will find five ifnol ten, North Carolini'ns
TO cns Virginisn. This has besn tod Inc by
physicians in attendance. Yet the Richmond
papers pretend not 10 lSu6= Il. i. IS crying
