his head, right arm and leg in a horrible manner. He was instantly killed. Letters found on his person from his father and mother, and postmarked Martha's Vineyard, N., C., showed that he was a convalescent from Winder Hospital, returning to his regiment.--His remains were buried on the farm of Dr. B.
