Letter from Col. Madill.
Headquarters Hist REG. PA. Vols,
May Z, 1868.

HEADQUARTERS Hist REG PA. Vols,
May 1868. !
DEAR SIR 1T is with sad heart that l
attempt, this evening, to write you few IInes
relative to the affairs of the Regiment.
We went into the fight at Charlottesville
on Sunday morning, May 5, at half ater six
O'Clock, with four hundred and nineteen men
and twentv-four commissioned officers. We
were in the fight two hours and forty minutes,
and lost two hundred and thirty men, incud
ing twelve officers There is scarcely man
in the Regiment who has not the mark of
bullet on his person. In Company X, (Capt.
MERcUR, there are but two men who escaped
without the mark of bullet-the same is
mostly the case with all the other companies
of the Regiment
| need say nothing to you of the bravery of
my men and officers. The annexed list of kill
ed, wounded and missing, but too eloquently
tells how nobly they have done their duty. |
escaped unhurt. | had FIVE bullets through
my coat, and my horse shot under me.
Poor WATKINS fell while galantly encour-
aging the men to hold the position, an ex-
tremely dangerous one, as he occupied the
right of the line of battle, and the enemy on
our flank Col. WATKINS had his horse shot
from under him, or rather while in the act of
mounting him, on Friday evening, by shell,
which passed entirely through the horse. He
was again thrown from his horse, by the
explosion of a shell, on Sunday morning. The
shell exploded so near him that it threw him
and his horse entirely over.
The wound the Colon cl received is not nee
essarIy fatal one, and with care he will re-
cover. He was taken from the field by one
of the ffcers of the Regiment, and left in a
hospital near the " Chancellor Mansion" He
was quite weak from loss of blood When
left there, the hospital fell into the hands Of
the enemy, few moments after he was left
there Several of our surgeons were there at
the time and were captured.
Colonel WATKINS needs nothing said by me
to establish his efficiency as an officer, or bis
bravery as a soldier lie has given that evi,
dence with bis blood.
The men reported as missing in the annexed
list, are, fear, either killed or wounded, and
in the hands of the enemy. My impression is
that but very few, if any, were taken prison,
ers.
It is sad task for me to send this list for

BeJ" We give in another column letter
from Col MAD1LL, and list Of killed, wound
ed and missing in the .141st Regiment. The
list of casualties speaks more eIoquently than
words of the bravery of this regiment. They
went into battle with 443 men, and suffer a
loss of 237-a proportion unparalleled in the
history of the war. We learn from private
sources, that every man in the regiment be-
haved nobly-not single instance of coward
ice occurring. Their great loss is owing to
the manner in which they were attacked-in
front and on the flank, and they stood brave
ly under CALLING fire, and when ordered to
retire, did SO in perfect order
The officers, field and line, distinguished
themselves by their GOODNESS and bravery. One
half of their number suffered We shall take
occasion hereafter to speak more particularly
of them, as they deserve.
The long list Of casualties which we publish
brings sorrow and gloom to many hearth in
this county. Anxious relatives aud friends will
fad there the name they dread TO see. AS TO
the condition and fate of many of those re-
ported wounded and missing, there it still an
uncertainty which is more dreadful than the
realization of the worst fears. We sincerely
sympathize with those who mourn for the
Dead the wounded, and the missing We
trust that many heart now nearly broken
with grief, is yet to be made glad by the re-
turn of the loved one mourned for.

hsis~ The meeting of the Peoples Conven-
ton, called to town, on Tuesday, the usual
and inevitable number Of Democratic leaders,
whose confernces with those engineering the
boiling machine were frequent and cordial
This is not to be wondered at, as they have
a common purpose to subserve, aud a common
hatred of active Republicans, and a common
dislike Of Republican principles.

Hg~ Since the recrossing Of the Rappahan-
mock, by HooKER's army, a thousand rumors
have been flying through the country. The
fact is, that the army is now occupying the
camps they left when the forward movement
commenced, and no portion of the army had
again crossed the Rappahannock. All ac.
,-nts represent the troops as in good condi-
''''OD ~ "~' eager again to be led against the

RAJ The following. taken from the CORES
pondence of the Missouri Democrat, written
from Capt. Girardeau, April &c, 1863 con,
tans an account of the wounding of Captain
STEPHEN V. 6HIPMAN, formerly of this place,
now in The Ist Wisconsin Cavalry -
Yesterday flag of truce was sent in from
the rebels with Capt. Shipman of the Ist Wis
cousin cavalry, whom they had badly wounded
ina fight at the White Water river, where
he, with company of fifty men, were guard
ing q bridge, about sixteen miles from this
place, and were suddenly surrounded 10y a
largely superior force. Captain SHIPMAN would
have successfully cnt his way through their
line bat for an accident. II charged upon
and brCke their lines, aud fought hand to
hand with sabcr ard pistol, killing two or
three Of their men with bis own hand and
his noble band fought with desperation also ::
but his bride rein was cut, aud bis horse be-
came uHmanageabe, during which he was
wounded dangerously in the thigh. the thigh
bone being shattered, and be with his men
taken prisoners. lie behaved nohly through
out, and when the rebel commander sent
large force to accompany the flag Of truce ne
demonstrated against it as GiShonorable use
of the flag, intended FOR some ulterior purpose,
Ond requested that lie should be left to die by
the roadside rather than such a thing should
be done. The flag Of truce, however, was not
permitted to come beyond our outer pickets,
where Captain Shipman was received and
brought to the general hospital, where l an
row writing, and where he is under the ex-
celent care OF Surgeon Mcclellan in charge
Gen. Mcneil has spoken of him to day in
the highest terms, and faint hopes are enter
tanned that he will survive his dangerous
wound, though the fear Of fatal termination
predominates. lie is now resting quietly, with
every care and attention that meucaI skill can
afford.
--latest accounts from Capt S. represent
him as being 10 a very critical condition, with
but faint hopes of his surviving.

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, May u, 1868.
THE RECOVERY OF THE BODIES OF OUR SLAIN
Gentlemen recently arrived here and pro
ceeded TO the Rappahannock to recover the
bodies of their friends, who fell in the recent
battles. One of them, in a private rote re-
ceived in Washington to-day, says commu
nicaticn had been transmitted to Gen Lee for
permission to pass inside Of his lines for that
purpose. Although, on Sunday night, no re
sponse had been received from Lee, it was un.
derStood from the officers receiving the COM
muncation at the river that there would be
10 unnecessary obstacle thrown in their way
Subsequently, the enemy commenced sending
over the river, under a flag Of truce, consider
able numbers of our wounded, who had been
paroled. For several days past supplies and
medicines have been sent over from our side

A report was current yesterday that the en-
emy had left their formidable position along
the heights, but close observation last even

had not been diminished They were still at
that point yesterday morning. At the time
of our recr0SSing the river at United States

the enemy'S forces were on our front, near
Charlottesville, as q rear guard. The diyi
sions mentioned were commanded by Gems
