HOW THE EIGHTEENTH'S COLORS WERE SAVED

CWritten Specially for The Bulletin)
 It was in 1862, the 22nd of August, that, having received from Governor William A. Buckingham, of Norwich, the elegant colors, gift of the patriotic women of the city and town, the Eighteenth Regiment of Three years men representing the county, William G. Ely colonel entrained, the first regiment sent forth from the old town of Norwich.
 Stationed at first near Baltimore, the Eighteenth was ordered in May, 1863, to Western Virginia.
 On the thirteenth to the fifteenth of June it took a prominent part in the battle of Winchester, where a large proportion of men and officers were taken prisoners.
 During the night of the fifteenth, the order for the silent evacuation of Winchester was given. The First and Second Brigades were intercepted in this retreat by superior force of the Eenemy; and after two gallant charges, | the Eighteenth became separated from the main body, and in a final charge alone was repulsed by the enemy, now greatly outnumbering it, part of the regiment being captured, including Colonel Ely.
 This was the first battle in which the Eighteenth had been engaged, and | it's behavior won praise for both off cers and men.
 The total loss of the regiment was 567, thirty one being killed, forty -four wounded, including five commanders of companies, which demonstrates the l severity of the fighting and the des- l perateness of these successive charges | The Richmond Wing, commenting on these latter said: "The Yankees charged our battery three times, and got within a few yards of it, but were
 thrown off So many were killed al gun Number One that it had to be ] abandoned, and we fired every round of ammunition from gun Number Two

BRITISH CRUISER MOLDAvIA
e SUNk-CARRYING v. S. TROOPS

London. Eng. May 25.-The British
mercantile cruiser Moldavia was tor
pedoed in the English channel Tues
day, while transporting American
troops. Fifty-six Americans are unac-
counted for and are believed to have
been killed by the explosion of the
torpedo. The steamer was under con-
voy. The explosion occurred at 400
a. M and sank in 80 minutes. There
was no panic, the survivors keeping
control of themselves and the trans
fer of soldiers and seamen was made
to destroyers without a hitch.
Captain Johnson. of the u S. Inf,
a survivor said: THE torpedo struck
the Moldavia on the port side All
the troops were sleeping in their
hunks in uniforms. The Moldavia
continued under steam for time. to
avoid a second torpedo. The escort
ing destroyers dropped several depth
charges. but found no trace of the
submarine AS the men took 10 the
boats they sang and gave three
cheers as the Moldayia sank

FIGHT is ON RIGHT AT PIcARpY
PLENTY sAMMIES IN RESERVE

Washington, D. c., May 2S.-Persh-
ing declaring that the enemy was
completely expelled after entering
the American trenches at Picardy, is
taken as an indication that the Amer
leans are in the thick of the fight on
the western front. Enough Americans
have reached France within the past
few weeks to constitute most for
midable reserve force but according
to the best authority here, these Am
ericans will not be used unless the
crisis becomes more acute
There are indications that the en-
emy is putting everything into this
drive and perhaps is the ultimate
phase of his offensive. The fact that
the offensive has been resumed in
three places is significant.
