Volunteers, who was killed in the late battle at Bethel Church, was interred in your city with military honors. The body would have been escorted to your city by a guard of honor from our company, had it not been that Col. Magruder and Col. Hill were at that time expecting an attack at this place; hence our men were not allowed to leave under any circumstances. To-day a subscription list was circulated in our company, and one hundred and sixteen dollars ($116) promptly raised for the relief of Wyatt's mother, which will be borne to her to-morrow by a gentleman from Edgecombe county, N. C., who is no
