We learn that a letter was received by Mrs. Crocker yesterday, stating that the Colonel escaped without a scratch. The letter from Wm. Houston, which we publish in another place, shows that the Colonel had a horse or two shot under him. We are sincerely glad that Colonel Crocker escaped without injury. Of his fighting pluck, and of his ability to command a regiment, no man, acquainted as well as we are with him, would ever admit a doubt. We are proud of this gallant officer, and the City from which he went to the war is also proud of him.
