Permit me through the columns of your
paper TO furnish 70 the. friends of those
who were SO unfortunate as to be killed or
wounded in the late Moorefeld disaster,
the following report, which will exhibit
the present condition of the wounded and
the disposition that was made OF the Ia
mented dead of our regiment:
COmpaHy A-Jason G. Booth, private,
wounded in the left thigh; bone badly
shattered. He was wounded four miles
from town, aud il was ten days before we
were able to have him brought to the hos
pitai At the present time the limb is
very much swollen and inAamed. Still an
effort will be made to prevent the loss of
his leg. r...-....

wounded in the right shoulder, the ball
passing into the lungs. His wound is
dangerous, but up to the present time his
case seems favorable, and hope for his
recovery.
Company B-John Mariner, private,
fracturing the head of the ulna, which may
yet require removing. Doing well at the
present. WIN. D. Wilson, private, wound

to the inside of our lines.
Company R-Wm. Chapman, private, Sc
Verely wounded in three places. One
wound through the right shoulder, the ball
passing out ut the right breast another
through the right knee joint; another
through his left wrist. He seemed exhaust
ed from the effects of his wounds for the
first forty-eight hours, butts now in more
feeble condition, and suffers but little pain
from the wound in the knee joint. At the
present I have hopes that I'm amputation
may be avoided.
Nathan.C Austin, private, belonging to
same company, flesh wound of the right
thigh. 49,

nal column, and passed in an upward di-
rectiou through his bowels aud stomach

The above exhibits correct statement
of the present condition of the wounded
and the probable results of their injuries.
The mild cases have all been removed to
Petersburg and Cumberland, where pre-
sumo they are doing well.
Leaving here-Jasou Booth. Co. H; Sam.
uel Still, Co. B; John Mariner, 90. E; VIM.
Chapman, Co. F; Sergeant VIM. Tucker,
Co. d; Jacob Rhodes, Co. j.
Those left here are pleasantly and com.
fortably fixed, and are doing as well as
we can reasonably expect from the char
! acter of their wounds. The people of the
village have been very kind, furnishing
hospitals with all the ieIicacies they can
procure. Every day they bring and dis.
tribute among the wounded, grapes,
peaches, apples, &c. At meal times they
furnish the worst cases with soups agreea-
bly, seasoned, and eatables suitable for the
others. These, together With what the
commander of the brigade (Ool. Thoburn)
has sent US, has so far proved sufficient
for our present and past wants. The friends
FOf the wounded may rest assured that they
are comfortably placed, carefully nursed
and sufficiently supplied with every thing
necessary to their condition.
P. S.-Since writing the above, Jacob
Rhodes, private of Co. L, has died. He
fingered on until the 18th, "A. NJ The
ball had passed through the upper portion
of the right kidney, ranging upwards; it
also passed through his liver. A respect
able coffin was procured and on the eve of
the same day he was quietly uttered by
his comrades. s
