The first Maryland regiment.

In the recent battle near Harrisonburg a brigade and a half of Yankees were attacked and whipped by the 53rd Virginia and the 1st Maryland, Col. Bradley Johnson. The attack was made in a gallant and spirited manner in the face of a galling fire. Col. Johnson had his horse shot under him, but was Natchez himself. The following losses in the 1st Maryland regiment have been furnished us by a correspondent:

Killed.--Captain Robinson, company I; Lt. Snowden, company D; Privates Harris and Schley, company H; Beatley, company D; Murphy. company G.

Wounded--Serg. Wells, company D; Corp'l McIntyre, company D; Privates Guy, Coakeley, Lintiall, Farn, and Rogers, company H; Ackler, company D; Chappenier, company I, Color-Sergeant Doyle and Color-Corporal Cole.

The colors want down twice, but each time were caught before they reached the ground. The "Bucktail Rifles" are reported to have suffered greatly. Col. Kane and some other Yankee officers were captured.
