The Eighth Georgia Regiment.
We had an interview last evening with
Mr. J. W. Avery, of the
Oglethorpe Light Infantry, of
Savannah, Ga., who gives us some interesting facts in regard to
Col. Bartow's gallant regiment, which we propose to publish in detail in our next issue.
In the battle of Sunday, besides
Col. Bartow,
Adjutant John L. Branch and
Capt. Howard--the latter commander of the
Echols Guard — were killed — and this probably embraces the entire mortality list among the officers.
Lieut. Col. Gardiner, formerly
Major in the U. S. Army, was severely wounded in the leg.
Mr. Avery has kindly furnished us with a
correct list of the killed, wounded and missing of the
Oglethorpe Light Infantry, which we append.
