General Lyon's memory.--A soldier of Gen. Herron's division, writes from Springfield, Mo., as follows: “General Lyon's memory is cherished by the soldiers here as something holy.
The Union men think that no man ever lived like him. The Third division visited the battle-field of Wilson's Creek on Thanksgiving Day, and each man placed a stone on the spot where Lyon fell, so that there now stands a monument some ten feet high, built by eight thousand soldiers, to point out to the visitor of this classic ground the place where the hero died.” --Maquoketa Excelsior, January 13.
