Warm. Samuel Hutton, of the 9th Mich Cavalry, died last
night; also Peter Christiancy and Joseph Sargent, of Co. D, 9th Mich., have
died within a few weeks. Last evening 700 of the 85th New York arrived here
They were taken at Plymouth, N. C, with 1,400 others, making 2,100 in all. The
balance are on the road to this place. Wrote a letter home to-day. Have not
