ith his remaining force, barely escaping into his own lines. He left upon the field in his fight at the bridge over sixty dead, who were buried where they fell; and his wounded must have been many more than the usual proportion to the dead, for most of them were from buckshot from double-barrelled guns, every discharge of which wounded and disabled many men.

All that has been said about that gallant old friend, Colonel T. S. Flournoy, I heartily indorse, as well
