Dion, the Preston correspondents of

made he was appointed by the gov

infantry regiment. The Maine Fifth
was in the first battle of Bull Run,
and the rebels whipped the Union
forces badly. During the battle Col
NJ. H. Dunnell was found in a secluded
place, away from his regiment, zap

says the report. He was ordered by
the general commanding to go to his
regiment that was reeling under the
