DEAR SIR:-We scarcely ever see the Standard

glad to see something from companies and K, Oak
City Guards and Raleigh Rifles, of the 14th N. G.
Regiment 1t would be too great task for me to
give you the casualties of the whole Regiment
The two companies carried into the fight at Sharps-
burg very respectable number. Company K was
commanded by its gallant Captain, Joseph Jones,
and company E, by I'd Lieutenant Joseph L. Mitch
ell the Captain and 1st Lieutenant having been for
a long while on sick furloughs. These two compa-
mics of the Regiment did not suffer so seriously
til they received orders to fall back short distance
when they were exposed to the fire of the enemy
from different directions. We are unable to &C
count for some men of the companies. Some saw
the narrow chance they had of an escape and pre-
ferred 20 remain and be captured-others were
wounded and not able to retreat There was an
election held in company E, for Sd Lieut., which
resulted in thepromotion of T. S. Lemay. Mr. Le-
may is gentleman, and fully competent to fill the
office. The casualties in the companies, as far as
known, are follows:
Privates, S. D. Terrell, JOS Beddingfeld, H. Rus
sell, 2. NJ RUSSELL and A. T. Saunders were killed
Privates A W Chancey, wounded slightly in. head

Company XII. A. Watt j. W. Sikes killed
Wounded-D. W. Royster seriously in hip; W. j.
Ramsay, slightly in hand; Joseph Powell, slightly
in head and shoulder - Wilson, seriously in neck.

ish, L. Russell, R. D. Weathers, - Wilkerson.
We are now stationed between Martinsburg and
Winchester. The health of the remaining part of
the companies is very good, and our sick who have
been sick at Richmond and other places are coming
in daily. DlNARfUS,

FIGHT AT FRANKLIN. .
Oak City Guards.

CAMP FRANKLIN, Oct 6, 1862
Mr. EDITOR: The Regiments of Colones Mar
shall and Ferebee were awakened from their slum-
bcrs early on last Friday morning by the boom of
cannon, heralded from three mortar gun boats. The
bugle sounded, and we were soon in our saddles
A few minutes more and we were within few
PAGES of their guns pouring most destructive fire
into the windows DOORS port holes, and every other
place where Yankee dared to show his face We
fought them hard and stubbornly for four long
hours, amidst the rain of shot, shell and grape
when they were forced to retire. after having lost
according to their own Acknowledgements, two hum
dred in killed and wounded. Our loss was three
men slightly wounded.
Scarcely had the echo of their cannon died away
before we were again summoned to the field of con-
fict alone with our (Col Ferrebee's Regiment when
Capt Edward Graham, with his Battery aided by
Capt Wrghts Rocket Battery, opened upon the
advancing foe. After two hours brave fighting with
artillery they driven back in confusion leav-
ing behind them arms ammunition, clothing, and
piece of artillery, carrying off their killed and
wounded, supposed to be some sixty or eighty.
We lost only one man wounded slightly.
The force of the enemy in the evening fight was
about $500 men, with 6 pieces of Artillery. We
had only about 900 men engaged.
Yours truly
CLIPPER.

YELLOW FEvER.-During the week ending Friday
last there had been S95 new cases of Yellow fever
in Wilmington, and only 40 deaths. The malignity
of the disease, rejoice to say, has been evidently
arrested. We hope the early appearance of frost
will Danish the disease speedily. We are glad to
perceive that there is much substantial sympathy
being exhibited by different communities in for
warding relief to that afflicted and distressed people
We regret that death has added another to his vic
TINS, Mr.. JAS I. Miller, among the valuable and
prominent citizens who have fallen.

DEATH OF CAPT. TUMBRo-we regret to an
nounce the death of Capt. Alexander D. Tumbro,
, formerly of company D, 4th State Troops He ex-
pired at the residence of his father-in-law Mr..
Knight in Edgecombe County, on Friday last of
pulmonary disease. he was in the 2sth year Of his
age. Capt. Tumbro volunteered early in the war,
and was made Captain of the company above re-
ferred to- No officer or soldier conducted himself
with more fidelity or courage. Though naturally
feeble and though his health was visibly declining
he remained in the service as long he could pos
sibly perform his duties. He was in that desperate
and glorious charge with his regiment in one of the
battles below Richmond, in which Col Grimes so
distinguished himself; and during the action he fell
from exhaustion, while leading on his men.
Capt. Tumbro served his apprenticeship in the
Standard Office as printer. He was dutiful, in
dustrious youth, and gave promise of that future
usefulness which has been cut short by the hand of
death. With his friends and relatives we lament
his death but he leaves behind him reputation
for patriotism, courage, and moral character which
will be valuable legacy to his orphan child.

Virginia has reserve of State Troops of 90, 900
under Gen. Floyd, and South Carolina has, we be-

Will the Mercury inform us if the latter figures
correct? Our Legislature, to assemble, will be
called on to consider promptly State defences.
With the prospect before US that the enemy will
soon make desperate attempt to extend his lines
still further towards our interior, we must have
to meet them. Selfpreservation is the first law of

The RIGHT SPRIT.-Mr. A. Mcintyre, a tanner of
Chatham County, in note to u.s. says that he Is
perfectly willing to sell leather to his neighbors
Ito the Government at the prices paid by the Con-
federate Government viz: 81 per pound for sole
leather, $125 for harness leather, and $3.50 for up
per leather. Why cannot other tanners initiate his
example? We have heard of a few other tanners
who do not charge the exorbitant prices demanded
by some, but we have not their names. The war
must either be Terminated quickly by our arms, or
the spectators will end it in the ruin of the South
in six months.
