Charlotte Journal March 4, 1847
                       EARLY REPORT: N. C. UNITS IN MEXICAN WAR
   JAMES A. McLANE, a private in the Cumberland and Bladen Company, died 
Thursday last of hemmorage of the lungs. There is nothing like the sickness 
among the troops that there was a week or two ago.
   The Orange Volunteers, being a detachment only, have been divided and 
apportioned off to other deficient companies, chiefly to the Yancey, so that 
by this and other changes, nine complete companies have been made up, leaving 
one yet to be gather up. 
   The nine companies range alphabetically thus: A- Edgecombe, CAPT. WILSON; B-
Wayne, CAPT. ROBERTS; C-Cabarrus, CAPT. SHIVE; D - Yancey, CAPT. BLALOCK; E - 
Edgecombe, CAPT. DUGGAN; F-Caswell, CAPT. WILLIAMSON; G- Rockingham, CAPT. 
HENRY; H- New Hanover, CAPT. PRICE; I - Cumberland, CAPT. KIRKPATRICK. 
   A and E left for Brazos Santiago on the 15th inst., in the Schooner "E. S. 
Powell". Companies B., C., and D., will, it is expected, leave tomorrow, in 
the Brig "S. N. Gott", MAJ. STOKES will go with them.
   The Schooner "Harrison Price," has been contracted for by LIEUTENANT S. L. 
FREMONT, the Government agent, and will probably get away in four or five 
days, taking Companies H and I. -- Wilmington Chronicle, 24th Feb. 1847.
