Nutmeg State Volunteers Not in Panic Stricken Class at Bull Run Fifty Years Ago— Massachusetts Sixth Passed Through Norwich. Fifty vears ago the first week of Au- gust was one of some special interest +in Norwich, according to the files of The Bulletin, for there were returning troops passing through here to Massa- chuseets point, arrangements Te on foot for the reception of the Norwicn v’?lumeers who were.to return from the front. Various special reports of the behavior of the Connecticut troops in the disastrous battle of Bull's Run were published, showing generally that the boys from the Nutmeg state showed considerable inore of soldierly quali- ties than meost of the Union troops in that battle. Exiracts from the Nor- wich Bulletin of 1861 are as follows: August I1st—James B. Coit has been bromoted sergeant major of the Second Regiment, Connecticut volunteers.

He never reached it, In a terrific thunderstorm at Eastern Point yesterday the Ocean house was struck by lightning. Several persons were burned by the lightning or in- ured by falling bricks and joists from around the chimney. There is abundant evidence that in the fight at Bull Run, the Connecticut volunteers performed their duty with credit to th elves and honor to the state. Gen. ler had command of the center column and gave proof that no braver officer took part in the conflict. (In a letter to a friend in this city, he says: “Our Connecticut troops did us great credit. They did everything as well as ninety days troops could. Col. Keyes led the men with good judge- ment, saved many lives and did not detract from the efficiency of his com- mand. Our fight, although not brilliant respectable. We Xkept together, never got into a stampede, and after the fight marched seventeen miles in the worst kind of a rain storm with- out food.. We returned to our oid camp, recovered all the public property left in the camp by Gen, Schenck, and maiched to Fort Corcoran in good order, with all our arms and camp equipage.” August 3d—TUnder the military law passed at the last session, an active militia of not less than forty nor more than sixty-four companies was order- ed to be enrolled. The commander-in- chief has accordingly ordered the en- rolment of fiftv-eight companies, to be compcsed of four companies of flyving artillery, not more than four of cal- vary, and four of artillery, and the re- was i | i | VERY OF CONNECTICUT TROOPS L% maining companies of light /infantry.
