They represent the enemy to De in great

crossing throughout the Peninsula.
Reinforcements were constantly arriving
from Norfolk, Fredericksburg, and even
from North QqroliuH, and the rebel gener-

this the great battle of the war, and the
strongest conviction is expressed Of a tri !.

RAILROAD CoNPANY.-The case of Jesse

tion Of the District Court at PittsburR since

on behalf of his daughter, Margaret Smith,
whose foot was cut of by train ON de-
fendants' road about two years ago. in
Manchester, under peculiar circumstances.
The girlIhad gone ont to call her sisters.
when in crossing the track her foot slipped
between rail and piece of plank fasten-
ed alongside, and in spite of every effort
she was unable to extricate herself. A 10.
connective was coming up at the moment
and crushed the foot of, leaving her a
hopeless cripple. The counsel for the
Plaintiff did not, we understand, put in an
claim to damages for the unfortunate girl
herself, but simply for such reasonable
sum as would cover the expense to her
father of nursing, medical attendance, &c.
The railroad company endeayored 10 es.
