THE Arm, 26TH, AND 14TH.-These regiments
the two former belonging to Gen. Pettigrew's, and
the latter to General Ramseur's brigade-suffered
greatly in the Gettysburg battles. Wake County
has four companies in the 47th one in the 26th and
two in the 14th. The 47th was commanded by Col
G. H. Faribault, who was wounded the Goth, (Gov.
Vance's old regiment) by Col Burgwyn, who was
killed; and the 18th, formerly Col. Daniels, by
Col. Bennett reported wounded.
We learn that all of the Raleigh Rifles and Oak
City Guards with the exception Of Capt Jones and
Leutenants Bryan, Hardie and Beyers, were killed
or wounded and made prisoners.
A letter from an officer Of the 47th, who was
