and hear the roar of guns. They
are anxious also to get a view of the
Reds. to see what they can accom-
plish in the way of actual war man.
euvers
The Reds are approaching Derby,
where they will probably cross tt
this side of the Housatonic River.
Shelton is on the west bank of the
| river and about eight miles from the
New Jersey brigade. 1t is probable,
therefore, that the boys from New
Jersey will not get any actual fight
ing before tomorrow or Friday.
On a visit to the camps of the three
New Jersey regiments today, a Star
correspondent was informed by the
surgeon in charge that all the men
were well.
Sorry for Captain Reynolds.
Many regrets were expressed
among the members of the Fourth
Regiment owe the unfortunate ac-
ton of Captain Reynolds, under Colo
mel Van Walraven, who was arrested
and ordered to return to his home, in
Paterson, for disobeying orders.
1t was limited that General Hine
might permit Captain Reynolds to re-
sign rather than have him dis
charged.
Captain F.. M. L. Doderlein, of Col
onel Fraser's staff, tells a good story
about a captain of the Second Regi-
ment of New Jersey. who was very
anxious to take part in the maneu-
vers and who was keenly disappoint-
ed because his regiment was no.
called upon to take part. The Sec
ond Regiment captain, who was a
friend of Captain Doderlein, came
along in the hope that a vacancy
somewhere might give him a chance
to be temporarily transferred and
give him an opportunity to join in the
maneuvers.
Captain Doderlein was surprised to
see the other captain Sunday after
noon. He was an abject spectacle.
His uniform was drenched. He had
had nothing to eat for tw~enty-four
hours and things were far from rosy.
Wondering what connection the cap
tain from the Second might have with
the brigade, Captain Doderlein in
quired, with some surprise:
'ewhy how'dy, captain; what are
your"
I'm a darn fool" was the captains
well-meant reply.
An engagement between outposts
of the Fifth New Jersey Regiment
and two troops of Red cavalry took
lace yesterday at Huntington, about
one mile east of brigade headquar-
tiers
The outpost was stationed at q
bridge crossing Means brook. on
tie main road, between the Jer-
sey headquarters and Shelton. 1t
was made up of Company G, Firth
Regiment, under command of Captain
Chiswold. The infantry held the
bridge and repulsed the troops, who
fell back under fire at the advance of
Captain Chiswold's men. This is the
first fight between the Reds and the
volunteers from New Jersey, and it
was a decided victory for the Blues.
At the headquarters of the First
Regiment yesterday it vas said that
the companies had been formed in a
wal strength of $50 men to each o n :,
pany and with 500 men to a battal-
ion. The battalion for purposes Of
experience is commanded alternately
by the majors and captains in order
that the captains and majors may
know how to handle a larger num-
Der of men.
A train of nine wagons, with pro-
visions for the New Jersey brigade.
on it's way from Long Hill to the en-
campment, was captured by the
Tenth Cavalry Reds along the road.
The wagon were in charge of Quar-
termaster Major Knox. After ad-
iusting matters with the field umpire
the train was allowed to proceed.
