Our esteemed Correspondent says:


81 was much surprised. few days ago, to see
in the Milton Chronicle article stating that one
half of the Caswell Volunteers are good Wings.
am sorry that politics were ever introduced, but
since they have been, for the information Of the
Chronicle will state, that the enormous number
of fourteen Wings are In our company. So you
inform your readers, the Chronicle 10 the con-
trary notwithstanding, that only one-sirih of the

stoned Officers are Democrats, and also that the
Regiment is Democratic by two-thirds.
