The 11th (700 Germans,) the 22d, (600 men,) and the 71st,
(800 strong,) together with a large squad of the 7th – all New York city
regiments – left for Washington Wednesday evening. The 8th and the gallant 69th left Thursday
afternoon. The 12th, 87th and 56th
Brooklyn regiments left during Friday and Saturday. Ten regiments in four days is doing well
enough, “considering.”
