days, he captured over one hundred head of
horses, $50 head of fine cattle (Which had been
driven from Virginia. and several prisoners
He also captured two telegraph Offices, with all
their apparatus, containing late ard important
dispatches--one in regard to our advance.
This morning the 22d, the brigade marched
in the direction of Cham mbersburg. About 10
o'clock M, we passed through Greencastle, Pa,
and bivouacked just beyond the place, and
white partaking oil a scanty repast, a courier
came back with the report that the enemy was
advancing, soon another. In a few minutes the

the " ruffian regiment is one Of the most

The countenances of the men are bronzed
by exposure. They have recently perform

to health, the losses of the Sixth regiment
are much less, proportionately. than with
