From this time the hardships lie underwent multiplied, so that when at last it was permitted to send him to the hospital he had not sufficient vitality left to reach there. He was an efficient officer and a good soldier, and was much respected by the entire Company, which deeply lamented his death. Sergt. George H. Putnam was promoted to fill the vacancy on the 8th of August. John C. Frost also left us the same date, and was discharged from the service for disability the following September. Before we left this camp, a large mail, which had been accumulating at Washington for three weeks, arrived, and opened to us once more the outer world from which we had been so completely excluded. July 31, we moved forward and took post at Sulphur Springs. Morning reports. 1863. June 26. Battery

urally suppose ourselves and neighbors hopelessly cut off. But soon a staff officer appears galloping down the road, at which Lieut. Granger declares that he will take the risk and responsibility of withdrawing—the risk of encountering the enemy, and the responsibility of leaving without orders, as there is no one present from whom to receive them.

Putnam, and the writer, remained behind to take Lieut. Smith from the field.
