In both battles— officers killed, 8 ; su- balterns and privates, 77 ; rank and file,85.

We have on hand a list of over 90 men who were wounded or died in the North- ern Army of 1777, belonging to the afore- said Regiments, without including their loss at Hubbarton, July 7. The enu- meration of the names of these men would only fatigue your readers.

As the New Hampshire Troops, includ- ing Poor's Brigade, Dearborn's Battal- ion and Gen. Whipple's Brigade of Mili- tia, were all actively engaged in the bat- tle of Oct. 7, we may infer from the test of the killed here furnished that their loss on that day equalled or exceeded that of Sept. 19th. Scammell's Regiment had previously experienced the loss of Capt. Richard Weare,who was mortally wound- ed at Fort Ann, on the 4th of August, 1777, and had died at Albany soon after. He was a valuable officer, and the favor- ite son of Chief Justice Weare. The same Regiment suffered the loss of Capt. Hez- ekiah Beal of Portsmouth, on the 6th of November, 1777, having been wounded in one of the previous battles with the enemy.

We would not omit to state the fact that two full companies of New Hamp- shire men, commanded by New Hamp- shire officers, were enrolled in Col. Mi- chael Jackson's Massachusetts Regiment and Gen. Laniard's Brigade. This Reg- iment participated in both of the battles that led to Burgoyne's surrender. The amount of the loss of these Companies we have not ascertained, nor have we had access to the rolls of Whipple's Brigade or Dearborn's Battalion to ascertain the extent of their loss.

In conclusion, history tells us that the campaign of the Northern Army, in the
