Forced marches, insufficient food, the want of tents to shelter of his country. His brothers were cadets at the Virginia Military Institute, and afterwards did good service under Stonewall Jackson. Our slain hero joined the Third Alabama Regiment, and, notwithstanding his tender age and delicate health, had alemy. He wished to be at the front, and was never satisfied with hospital duties.
