W hen on his way TO the hospital, he was
met by Corp. Samuel w. Davis, who
kindly rendered his assistance toward
helping him thithcr The offer was mod
estly declined in the following noble,
patriotic words: ''Sam, I'll get along the
best way l can you go and do your duty
in the field" Wounded, and scarcely
able to walk, yet, like a true soldier that
he was, he preferred to suffer death even
than TO allow our cause sustain a defeat.
Joseph Miller, shot in the breast, will not
live many days. George ". Berkey, shot
through right shoulder blade, will proba-
bly, recover. William NJ. Evans had his
left eye shot out; what has become Of
him is not known Robert Deyeraux,
shot in the head and shoulders, is doing
well his wound was dressed by Capt.
Jones during the action--a convincing
proof of our commanders bravery and
GOODNESS. The balance of the wounded
are not seriously hurt.
We went into the fight with fifty -four
men, rank and fiie, of whom eight were
killed. seventeen wounded, and three mis-
sing. The missing are Richard II. Jones,
Serst. Nathan Bracken and Elbridge @,
Evans. The latter, however, has been
heard from he was taken prisoner and
paroled, and is now IN camp near Alex
aDdria. Nothing whatever has been seen
or heard of the other two, and we arc
almost satisfied that we shall never be-
| hold them more on earth.
Tins you sec, dear reader, that Co. 7
has indeed been called upon to offer up a
precious sacrifice IN behalf Of the country
! May God grant that it may not have been
in vain
What is left Of the company now occu-
py the quarters which we had built prior
to the fight. They are comfortably stu

Lieut.. T. NJ Flanagan, who now COM
mands the company, bore himself with
unexampied bravery throughout the ac-
ton. The men fairly adore him, and
entertain high hopes that he may be
promoted to be our Captain.
Last week, Philip s. Noon, Esq, Edw.
Thomas, and Joe and Ben Thompson paid
Us short visit. The former came in
