We regret to hear of a distressing affair which occurred near Pocotaligo last week, resulting in the death of one Lancaster Volunteer and dangerously wounding another. Peter Twitty and ?? Bradley, members of Company E, Capt. Clyburn (Blair Guards) were sent from Page Point to headquarters in charge of three Negros (runaways) who had been taken by our pickets. On their way, the attention of the guards being diverted for a moment, the Negros rushed on them, and in the struggle which ensued, Twitty was killed and Bradley dangerously wounded. The prisoners made their escape. The body of Peter Twitty was brought home and buried at Fork Hill Church a few days ago.
