Death of a gallant soldier.
--‘"P. W. A.,"’ the special correspondent of the Savannah
Republican, thus writes in regard to the last moments of a gallant officer:
Captain Plane, of the 6th Georgia, died on the night of the 17th of September, just after the battle.
Aware that his wound was mortal, and that he was sicking rapidly, be sent the following touching lines to his wife: "Give love inexpressible to my
dear wife, and kisses without number to my child. "Tell her I died like a soldier and an officer, and that if I had the same thing to do over I would do it again, that I was not afraid to die."
His body was decently interred near
Sharpsburg, and the grave marked by a head-board, with his name inscribed upon it.
