The Washington Chronicle in speaking of
the arrival Of the First Delaware Regiment
in that city says:
This regiment which has been stationed
NJ Brandy Station for some time past,
left that place on Tuesday morning for
Washington, where they arrived on the
evening Of that day During the night they
were quartered at the Soldiers Rest, near
being ready they did not move until between
! and o'clock yesterday afternoon, when
they started for Wilmington, Delaware.
This regiment is one of the finest in the
service, and during the time il has been ont
the men have experienced great hardships
and have been in nearly all the battles under
Generals Mcclellan, Hooker Burnside, and
| Meade. They went ont with nearly one
4 thousand men in their ranks, but this num-
Der has been considerably reduced, although
since in service they they have been recruit
ed by number OF conscripts.
The regiment first went out in the three
months service, after which they re-enlisted
for three years or during the war. Their
time Of service expires in August next.
The object of their going home at this time
is TO re-enlst for the war. In this opinion
they are almost unanimous. Those who
have not done so are married men and can
not well re-enlist. The regiment was re-
cruited throughout the whole State in all
tue counties, Newcastle county contributing
the largest number.
Upon reaching home Lieutenant Colonel
Woodall is ordered to report to the Cover.

reorganize and report through the State de-
partment to the Adjutant General of the
