| We regret to learn from the
Richmond Dispatch that Julius Sadler, a private in Col. Hill's first
North Carolina regiment, fell from the cars of the Richmond & York
River Railroad, on Friday night last, and was instantly killed. Poor
Julius! He was only a boy in years, but a man in spirit and
patriotism. When he went through this place with his company, the
Hornet's Nest Rifles, of Charlotte, N. C., and we grasped his hand
with sincere wishes for his safe return, we did not anticipate so
sudden a termination to his career. To his parents in Charlotte this
will be a severe blow. |
