wound is painful but the Major is get
ting better, and that argers well. Capt.
I. Green, of Fond du Lac, is wounded
through the neck, and was IN severe
pain. He will recover, it is hoped
Lieut. Y. P. Wise, of Prescott, is wound
ed in the right leg, below the knee. He
suffers much, and thinks the ball a COM
position, and, consequently, a poisonous
one. Lieut.. Handbook, Of Kenosha, IS
severely wounded. He was in great
pain, but will speedily recover. Order
ly Sergeant Ferguson, of milwaukee,,
was first struck in the mouth, the BAH
passing along his teeth. This turned
him around like a top, and while turn
ing, ball entered his back, and anoth-
er instantly crashed through his left
shoulder. He has been quite low, but
is Frightening up, and will live to re-
we're the brave The service can i'll
spare "Ed" A polished gentleman,
and good christian, he bears his truly
painful wounds with fortitude that ex-
ceeds expectation. Sergeant VIM Will
son, Jr., was wounded in the neck, the
ball passing through the base from the
front, and in the right arm. His bright
eye twinkles none the less, and his fea-
lures show his perfect courage-it will
bear him through safely. Sergeant Z.
Dyon, printer, is wounded in the right
temple, the ball running along the skull.
He was asleep and quite delirious when
I stood beside him. His wound will
prove mortal.
Sergeant II. c. Schuyler shot TIE
man that wounded him. He was at
tending on the wounded and was un-
hurt. Marker Louis La Treau, is sew
erely wounded in the left side, and was
quite low and appeared to be in much
pain. The Col speaks highly of him.
He is one of the many that Wisconsin
has sent to the war, and was in the
three months service, Louis is expected
to recover There are many others
there whom I should like to mention,
but cannot for space.
The 1st passed through hail storm
of bullets, and [ could mention over
fifty who have their clothes cut, and
are scratched with buck-shot or balls.
Capt. William Mitchell had his boot
leg cut with ball. Sergeant Major
''Tomn Bryant had the whole half of
his coats sleeve torn away by piece of
she'll. And thus | could keep on untl

Lieut.. Chas Serrell, aid to Col. Stark
weather, proved himself hero. He
bore orders through the heaviest fire and
was unhurt. Chaplain Mcnamara did
GOOD service as aid to the Colonel. He
is now faithfully engaged in his holy
work in the General Field Hospital
Col. Bingham was, as ever, ''brick."
Lieut.. tom" Galiger, of Co. "R,"
Serg't Harry Martin, Drummers Andrew
Wishart and Edw'd Ransom, Marker j,
Garlick, and several privates who were
taken prisoners, were returned to-day,
paroled. They were we'll treated and
twere warmly welcomed by the inhabit-
ants of Harrodsburg, who fed them,
thing the rebels did not do.
Il.
About forty rods from where we are
encampcd, beside road that runs along
the creek bottom, some $500 muskets
smooth -bores, of the Harpers Ferry
pattern-lie against the rail fence in per-
feet order A story is in circulation in
camp that three rebel regiments their
colors laid down their arms, and de-
serted for home, heartily sick of the war.
This [ do not think correct The arms
are, I surmise, those borne by the dead
and wounded of their army, and that
instead of burying their dead they pick
ed up the arms during the night, and
placed them there Smaller piles were
found in other parts of the fele If
rebel regiments deserted they would
have left their accOutrements also, but
no accountrements can be found. They
undoubtedly intended to transport them,
but owing to the close proximity of our
forces, left them where they are.
They also left six cannon, caissons
and an extra lumber box, cutting the
spokes of the wheels and otherwise
crippling them. Dr. Wright, of the
SD Tennessee regiment, in charge of
the rebel hospital, says that they took
six captured guns, and left these inferior
ones. They are of Memphis manufac-
ture. Taking my surmises about the
muskets to be correct, l think their loss
will reach four thousand in killed,
wounded and missing. The houses in
the rear of their part of the field is I'LL
ed with wounded Maxville, Perryville
and Harrodsburg, have their portions,
while Danyille has two churches filed
with them.
THE WEATHER.
To-day it is cold and very rainy.
Yesterday and the day before it was
cool. If the weather continues cold the
wounded will get along finely. will
