A gentleman who has lately been at Fredericks-burgh, tells the following
incident, related to him there by a wounded staff officer. The Sixty-second, New York, had been engaged and under fire all
day in one of the recent battles, and General Getty gave orders to have them relieved and sent to the rear to rest. A sergeant,
who heard the orders given, and happened to be near the General, touched his cap and said, "If it's all the same to you, General,
we'd rather stay where we are."
