Albion NY Orleans Republican, ca. July, 1861

THE ALBION SOLDIERS. The whereabouts of the Albion soldiers is a matter of frequent inquiry, and will perhaps be more so this week. To meet inquiry, we will state that the 27th regiment is with McClellan, before Richmond, and was brought into the battle on Friday last as part of the Reinforcements. The 28th regiment was at Front Royal at last advices, and is probably there still. The 8th Cavalry at last accounts had been ordered to Baltimore, where it was said their horses would be furnished them.

THE 8TH CAVALRY. — A private letter from Lieutenant Bell, informs the Orleans Republican that the 8th Cavalry are still at tho Relay House, near Baltimore. Over half the regiment, including the Albion company, are mounted, and as soon as the horses for the rest arrive, the regiment will probably move to Annapolis Junction, for two or three weeks mounted drill, and then on to the field. The Albion boys are well, in good drill and good condition, and eager to join tho army of the Potomac. Col. Davis, of the regular army, is now in command of the regiment
