We have been on engaged with the enemy in full form since early yesterday. So far there has been no desive result, but I think all things are going favorably. Our loss to this time I do not think exceeds 8,000 of whom a large proportion we slightly wounded.
Brig. General Hap was killed yeasterday and Woods and Bartlett wounded.  We have taken on about 1,400 prisoners. Longstreet's, A. P. Hill's, and Ewell's Corps were represented in the sweep of the Prisoneers taken."

(Received by mail from Alexandra, Va., 10 p. m. 12th)
"We were engaged with the some enemy nearly all day, both on the 5th and 6th Yesterday the enemy attacked our lines vigorously. They nearly forced me at one point and then another from right to left. They were repulsed at all Points before reaching our lines, save except ones callng the afternoon on Remmers front and just after night at Sedgwick's corps.
In the former instance they promptly and hansomely repulsed the latter, Milroy's old brigades, was attacked and was spooked and gave way in almost without resistance, carrying good troops with them.
Had they came at daylight, the enemy would have caused us much in the confusion that at laurelled.
They however getting through the break, attacked General Wright's division at Sedgwick's corps, and were beaten back.
Our, to time, in wounded and prisoners will not probably exceed 12,000.  And in unusually large proportions wounded.  ... (cut out)
Up to this hour the enemy have not shown themselves in sight within a mile of our lines."

ADJUTANT HUBERT CARPENTER
-Written by Rev. Mr. McDougall, of Dryden, N. Y.

WAS the son of William Carpenter, of Dryden, and was born in DeWitt, New York. When the war commenced, our young hero was quietly pursuing his studies at the Ithaca Academy. Naturally modest and retiring, but few knew his worth, or had he lived appreciated his ability. He would have become a ripe scholar and occupied a prominent place among literary men. His love of country led him to share the tolls and perils of a soldier. He resolved that his country should first be saved, then, if he survived the conflict with treason, he would again return to his favorite studies-Greek, Latin, French and German.

He entered the service with many of the young men from Dryden, and by his fidelity and talents soon rose to share the honors that awaited him. He enlisted the sixteenth of September, 1861, and in November, 1862, was promoted to Sergeant-Major, and in less than one month received a Second Heutenant's commission. In February, 1863, he was promoted to First Heutenant. His commission as Adjutant of the Regiment is dated June first, 1863, showing that bravery and meritorious conduct won for him the rank to which he was justly entitled. The duties of his last position were pleasing to his tastes, and his exact mind, and well and faithfully did he discharge them all.

Strictly temperate in all his habits, he was a pattern for others, both in civil and military life. When a student at McGrawville, Prof. Brockett said of him:-" He was the best linguist, and the ablest mind in that institution." In that school, (New York Central College), he filled, for a time, the position of mathematical teacher, with great credit. Nor was he less honored as a soldier.

"There," said his Colonel to a friend, in January, 1864, (pointing to the Adjutant), is the HEAD above all others, that runs the Seventy-sixth Regiment. He is always at his post."

We venture to say the War Department has no clearer or more exact monthly reports than those which came from his pen. In addition to all his duties on the field and in camp, he kept in PHONOGRAPHY, or "shorthand," a condensed history of the Regiment-all its marches, skirmishes and battles.

The Seventy-sixth Regiment has an honorable record, of which its patriotic survivors may well be proud. It was our good fortune to mingle with the boys while at Rappahannock Station, and to learn how they drove the enemy from the forts and into the river, and then encamped on the spot where a Union victory had been achieved. Adjutant Carpenter was then in the field on duty, suffering from wounds received at the ever-memorable battle of Gettysburg. All praised him, for all loved him, and amid the stern realities of war, learned his worth. But few young men among us had such bright prospects-few whose future was so promising.

Still, he placed all on the altar of freedom, and in the battle of the Wilderness, May seventh, 1864, he gave his life that his country might live. He fell into the hands of the enemy, mortally wounded, and died the next day. He sleeps with gallant comrades on the field of the nation's greatest conflict, and where the fate of the Republic and the freedom of millions were so triumphantly vindicated. Peace to his ashes and joy to his soul! His horse escaped, and by Lieutenant Burnham was brought to his father's house, and will be kindly cared for, though every view of the favorite animal will bring before the father and mother, and beloved sisters, the fallen rider-the patriot son and brother.

Many of his letters show that although he made no public profession of religion, he had faith in God and the cause for which he freely gave his young life. "Many of us," said he, "may fall, but God, who is ever true, is pledged to defend the right. Our cause is just and must prevail."
