gade OF the second DIVISION was engaged, anu
he thinks that the jersey Brigade was also in
the action. The Second Brigade was composed
of the 10Th and 9th n. Y, 9Th Me-, and 9th
Pa, and better men never smelt powder. The

knows that they were there without referring
to the casualties, which. as near as he can now
remember, were Colonel and Lieutenant Colo
mel wounded, the latter dying within Is hours,
two Captains wounded and 23i rank and file
killed and wounded. The writer does not like
20 see certain commands take all the credit for
any action. for be knows that all did their duty
when called upon, and that the best fighting
was done by all.
