The killed and wounded in the Rozwell (Ga.) Guards was mostly caused in the attack on
Sherman's Battery, and at the time when the gallant
Gen. Francis S. Bartow fell.
From other sources, and principally from the wounded now in our city,
Mr. Pritchard learns that--
Capt. Towers, of the
Miller (Ga.) Rifles, is safe;
Lieut. Hall, of the Rifles, is said by some to have been severely wounded, and by others to be dead;
Lieut. Scott and
Private Lathrop, of the same company, were killed.
Capt. McGruder, of the
Rome (Ga.) Light Guards, was wounded in the leg.
George Stovall and
Charles Norton were killed.
Captain Cooper, of the
Floyd (Ga.) Infantry, was severely wounded in the knee.
These three last-mentioned
Georgia companies are reported to have suffered severely, but no details have been obtained.
Major Dunwoody was shot three times, but none of them were serious, and his horse was shot five times.
Col. L. J. Gartrell, of
Georgia, was slightly wounded, and his son severely, and it is believed the latter has since died.
Captain Clarke, of
Carroll county, Georgia, was severely wounded, and
Captain Wilson, of the same State, slightly wounded in the heel.
The
Dawson (Greene county, Ga.,) Company was very slightly engaged in the fight.
General reports state that the Eighth Regiment of Georgia Volunteers suffered very severely in killed and wounded.
Lieut. Col. Montgomery Gardner (formerly of the U. S. Army, and attached to the First Independent Regiment of
Ga., of which
Gen. Bartow was previously
Colonel,) was slightly wounded in the leg, and had his horse shot from under him.
The wounded in
Richmond that I visited on yesterday, express their heartfelt thanks for the God-like kindness which they are receiving at the hands of the families where they are located.
There are thousands and tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of Georgians, and relatives and friends of the wounded throughout the
South, who will be consoled when they know that their wounded loved and respected ones are in the holy keeping of the kind and patriotic people of
Richmond.
I have only been able to make, so far, this partial report.
I will, as soon as I can, extend it to other companies and other States.
