A here in the battle of Cross Lanes.
A young soldier, writing from Floyd's command, says that they are strongly posted on the Ganley.
His letter is dated the 26th ult., the day of the battle of Cross Lanes.
He thus speaks of one of the participants in that battle:
"While I write, there is a young man, who is the hero of the day. His clothes are perfectly riddled.
He got surrounded by the enemy; but, getting behind a tree, he dared them to take him. One fired at him, cutting his cartridge box off, and almost instantly another one shot the lock off of his musket; when, drawing his revolvers--two six shooters — he killed both and wounded several others.
He is a surgeon by profession, and says that he was in the thickest of the fight.--He pitched in, and after fading that he had fought himself out of his scrape, he thought it time to commence his professional duties, and took two arms off, besides dressing a good many wounds and cutting out some four or five balls."
