10 state few facts that / know. On Sunday
morning, April 8, the men Of the I'D regiment
had their breakfast at least an hoar earlier
than usual. The sun was not more than twenty
minutes high. While we were eating cur
breakfast We heard firing on picket III front Of
Us. The long roll beat. We left our hard
tack and coffee aud got ia line OF bastle on the
dOuble-quick- We then marched directly out
Ia front Of our quarters about one hundred

About that time the rebels were little scatter
ing in front Of us, and we fell back TO our
quarters and Teflled cur caTtridge-boxes with
forty rounds more and marched back to the
same place, where we formed line Of battle and
went 10 peltIng away at the rebels gain Ii was
two hours and ten minutes from the time we
first formed line of battle before We were or
dered 10 fall back. IN that two hours company
my company lost some twelve men In
killed and wounded. New / think the 72d

the devil would be to pay soon as any troops
there. The Friday before the battle tie rebels
fired on cur pickets General Buckland took
company A and three or four more companies
and chased squad Of rebel cavalry five or six

efforts have been met with uncom promising
resistance. captous opposition, and technical
Quibblings; that the State leRal res possibility.

lent or valuable consideration can b
shown upon which to base these bonds:
that the holders arc not bona fdo
creditors Of Virginia. but merely adventur-
GUS speculatore. who have already realized
from the bonds much more than their original
cost: that a syndicate has been formed by
these spectators for the purpose OF perpetu-
ating the legal prosecution OF the people OF
Virginia and preventing a settlement OF this
unproven debt. SO that they may not have their
claims tested. but may contiue to draw interest
thereon that certain debts are positively pro-
hibited by article IA. section OF the Federal
Constitution: that we express our unalterable
opposition to the payment OF any part of this
alleged debt or the interest thereon. ana that
the Auditor OF Public Accounts is instructed
forthwith to refuse payment of interest on any
bonds alleged to be- held against Virginia"
