tended by his staff and part Of his cOuriere;
the cavalcade was, in the darkness Of the
night, mistaken for body Of the enemy's
cavalry, and fired upon by q regiment Of his
own corps. He was struck by three balls
one through the left arm, two inches below
the shoulder joint, shatteriag the bone and
severing the chief artery; another ball passed
making its exit through the palm of the hand;
u third ball entered the palm of the right hand
about its middle, passing through, broke two of
the bones. He was wounded on the plankrOad.

He fell from his horse and was caught by Cap

wounds are from my own men" lie had given
orders to ire at anything coming up the road
before he left the lines The enemy's skir-
to ride back. Just then some one cried out,
"cavslryv' "charge!'' and Immediately the

to ride through our lines to escape the fire.
Capt. Boswell was killed and carried through
the line by his horse and fell amid our own
men. Col. Crutch6eld, Chief of Staff, was

The Yankees assert that Longstreet's corps
wss up from Suffolk in time to take part in
tie late battles. This is false, though we do
Nc! wonder that they thought the tremendous
blow they received was dealt by Lees whole

was not needed. There was enough to whip
