Capt. Allen with about 20 of his men

1t is heart-rending to contemplate the
fact that this fine regiment, in less than
two weeks after it left its original camp,
with over 900 of the best men of Indi-
ana should thus be decimated and ami
hilated, by what can never be regarded
as other than a gross military blunder, let

dwellings,, furnished them with warm
and SUBSTANTIAL breakfast. (which was parta-

sharpened by scanty supper and
sleepless night with hearty gusto. We
heard but few regrets among our people
at having volunteered to assist the citi-
zens of Greensboro in defending their
town, and while the citizens of that place
were cheered and strengthened by the
good spirit manifested by our people in
rushing to their defense, our citizen sol

with which their proffered assistance
was received. ~
