Speech from A wounded rebel.--The train from the East brought down Captain Wilson, of Atlanta, one of the wounded on the glorious battle-field of Manassas.
Captain Wilson was in the whole of the hard-fought battle of the 21st, was wounded in the heel while on horseback, and received a contusion on the left shoulder from a cannon ball, which paralyzed his arm.

To ascertain who lie was, I examined his pockets, and found a Testament, in which was written,

I wished very much to take the body away, but I was six miles f

We clip the following from The Pulaski Times, published at Hawkinsville in this State.
Martin resided some eight miles east of that place.
It appears that he said that, If Lincoln would march his forces through the Southern States, he would link his destiny with him, and that if the war continued five years, he would be as rich as he wanted to be; that there were tories who got rich i
