We have learned from the Iteturns of the Killed, Wounded, and Missing, on that day, of Regiments who are known to have taken no part whatever in the subseiiuent action on Chatterton's-hill, of what Keginients that force who met tlie King's troops, near Hart's-corners, was composed: it contained the llegiments commanded by Colonels Silliman, Selden, Sage, and Douglass-- the latter commanded by Dieutenant-colonel Arnold -- all of them of the Brigade commanded by General Wadsworth ; the Kegimeut commanded by Colonel Chester, of the Brigade commanded by Colonel Sargent ; the Regiments commanded by Colonels Baldwin, Douglass, an<l Lieutenant-colonel Ely, of the Brigade commanded by General Saltonstall ; and the Regiments commanded by Colonels Holman and Smith, of the Brigade commanded by General Fellows.
