Republican Advocate Batavia, Genesee Co., NY September 9 1862 ARRIVAL OF CHARLEY RAND. Charles F. RAND, of this town, who enlisted in Capt. ROOT's Company, 12th Regiment, at the outbreak of the rebellion, and who is a Sergeant, and was badly wounded in the battles of Gaine's Mills, on the 27th of June and taken prisoner by the rebels, returned home on Friday last. Charley had his shoulder badly shattered by a minie ball, which rendered a most delicate and dangerous surgical operation necessary--it being nothing less than the removal of the arm bone from the socket in the shoulder down half way to his elbow, which was successfully done by Doct. SWINBURNE, Volunteer Surgeon from Albany. He speaks in glowing terms of Doct. S., and attributes to him the saving of his life. After this surgical operation, Charley was removed to the Libby prison in Richmond, from which place he was transferred, after being exchanged, to the Philadelphia Hospital, where he remained until able to travel towards home. He brings a souvenir with him, being the key to one of the doors of this celebrated prison, which he pocketed just before his departure. + + Capt. ROOT, in addition to being twice wounded in the recent battle in front of Washington, was taken prisoner by the rebels. He arrived at Syracuse on Saturday evening. + + CAUSALITIES IN CAPT. ROOT'S COMPANY. In Front of Washington, Sept. 5 1862. D.D. WAITE, Esq.--Sir:--The following is a list of causalities in Co. K., 12th N.Y.V., from the battle of Saturday, the 30th August: Killed--Michael RYAN, Syracuse. Wounded--Capt. A.I. ROOT, Corporal H. FERGUSON, Privates James BLOEDT, Edward FITZMAURICE, Edward FOLLERT, Samuel McCORMICK, Wm. STANTON. Missing--Privates H.W. SMITH, Jacob TRIETLEY(sp?). Lieut. LUDDEN and private CONWAY were taken prisoners. CONWAY was subsequently released on parole. Lieut. LUDDEN is still in the hands of the enemy. Yours respectfully, John B. FOOTE, 1st Sergeant Co. K + + Lieut. LUDDEN.--News was received last week of the death of Lieut. Dexter LUDDEN, of this place, an officer in Capt. ROOT's company, 12th N.Y. Volunteers. The intelligence caused much sensation here--for he was generally known, and as generally esteemed. We now learn that he is not dead, but that he was taken prisoner by the rebels, and will doubtless be paroled and sent home, in a day or two. + + CAPT. McMANIS' COMPANY. This excellent Company having been filled to its full capacity, proceeded on Thursday to the military depot at Lockport, were examined by Surgeon COTES, and mustered into the Regiment on Friday. Previous to leaving, a splendid Dinner was "got up" at Concert Hall, by our citizens, and the Company went off with flying colors. A splendid sword was presented to Capt. McMANIS, Hon. H.U. SOPER making the presentation speech, to which the Captain made a fitting reply. A sword was also presented to Lieut. GOODSPEED, Harry WILBER making the speech, and the Lieutenant replying in a proper manner. The Company was escorted to the depot by the Fire Department, and the people turned out en masse to pay them their parting respects. At the same time, fifty odd Volunteers from LeRoy, belonging to Capt. COLLINS' Company, commanded by Lieut. ANDERSON, went on to Lockport. They were a fine lot of men. + + Capt. ROOT Again Wounded.--We are sorry to learn that our friend Capt. A.I. ROOT, of the 12th, was again wounded in the battle of the 29th ult. The Regiment suffered terribly, having lost in killed, wounded, and missing, two-thirds of its men. It mustered only 116 effective men, after the battle. + + NUMAN's BATTERY. The success of Capt. NUMAN, assisted by Lieuts.. PRINGLE and WORTHINGTON, in raising a full Company for this Battery in so short a time, is something of which the Captain and his assistants may well be proud. The number of men necessary was 156, and by Friday last the company was full and more men offering.--This Battery Company is made up of some of the best men ever enlisted from this or any other County. The leading town to fill this Battery was Alexander. Over fifty young men, mainly from the very best families in the town, have enlisted in this Company! Bethany, Oakfield, Bergen, Darien, and Batavia, are ably represented in it. Capt. NUMAN, himself, is a man of energy and ability, and will be found an excellent Commanding Officer. In his hands, the young men will be treated as they should be, and will make this Company one of which the County and State may be justly proud. Lieuts.. PRINGLE and WORTHINGTON are gentlemen every way, and we are confident will become accomplished officers. + + A Tempest in a Teapot. The Times has a long-winded account of an alleged arrest of some supposed secession sympathizors in Darien. We are authorized to say that there were no arrests made at all--not the first one. Officers went there and held an examination into certain matters, as it was their duty to do. What their conclusions were will be found hereafter. + + We hoped today to give a list of the names of our citizens who have given bounties for Volunteers--but are unable to do so. We expect to be able to give the list next week. + + Meetings have been held here every day during the past week--including Sunday--the purpose of raising Volunteers. Large bounties have been offered by our citizens, and a goodly number of Volunteers have responded. + + A Close Shave.--On Friday night, one of Capt. McMANIS' men, while in camp at Lockport, made a murderous attack upon the Captain, while he was asleep. He attempted to stab him with a bayonet, but fortunately missed his body. He was promptly knocked down and secured. The man was probably laboring under an attack of delirium tremors. + + Our Quota--We are unable to give an estimate of the number which this town or the county falls short of having furnished its quota of Volunteers. The number, however, will be small. In the mean time, before the draft is made, recruiting is going on for regiments in the field, which entitle recruits to the State and county Bounty. Let the work go on. + + $10 Reward. A wall tent, belonging to the State Arsenal, and erected near the Park, in this Village, for a recruiting office, was stolen on Saturday night. A reward of Ten Dollars will be paid for the recovery of the property and apprehension of the thief. D.D. WAITE, Military Store Keeper. + + Dr. Russell J. WHITE, Analytical Physician. Dr. R.J. WHITE can be found at his office for consultation with the sick, Batavia, Eagle Hotel, Tuesday, the 30th of September. + + Batavia Crockery Store. China, Earthern, Glass, & Plated Ware. M.W. HEWITT. + + The Old and Responsible D. LEARY's Dyeing and Scouring Establishment, Two hundred Yards north of the New York Central Railroad Depot, On Mill Street, corner of Platt street, Rochester NY. + + Military Officer's Outfits!
