“Shiloh,” “Falmouth.”

HARRISBURGH, PA., April 30. – Gov. Curtain has ordered that Shiloh shall be inscribed on the banner of the 77th Pennsylvania regiment and Falmouth, Va., on that of the 1st Pennsylvania Cavalry, in acknowledgement of their gallantry at the battles of those places.

The Governor has received the most gratifying intelligence from Yorktown, in relation to the perfect arrangements for the early and prompt transportation of the killed and Wounded Pennsylvania soldiers to points within the state.
