HThe numerous friends Of 1t.

AGA.
The Col. himself vas slightly
wounded, and his old Co. F lost two
killed, three wounded.
The regiment as usual being in
front had 10 charge across an open
field, that did not require more than
ten minutes to do, but so terrific was
the fire of the rebels, that Sc officers
and men were shot 81 Of whom have
died.
The brave 1t. Col. tits well known
has gone into this war not for honor

be his duty: Where danger, death
and destruction, are found, there
you will find him leading his men as
at Resaca, to victory. We expect

Since the above was in type we have
received letter from Col Mrntgom-
cry, giving the list as published. He
states that his wound, which is in the
fieshy part of the thigh, as being
much better; that Samuel HALEY has
rejoined the regiment, and that I. NJ.
HALEY and HI. p. HALEY were both
getting well. AS we observed, Lieut.,
Col. Montgomery was in command of
the regiment and in the front. Col.
Moore is still at Nashville, "a nd is pre-
sumed to be safe,
Col. Montgomery says:
Our loss was sustained in a charge
upon the enemy's works. 1 am proud
to say. that the 33d Ohio did its whole
duty. The new recruits of the regt.,
without single exception, behaved
most gallantly, while the old veterans
as usual were at their post. We have
driven the enemy from their strong
position, and they are falling back TO-
wards Atlanta and Rome. We are
following them Hp, and our advance
is now at Calhoun. Our loss has
been severe, probably $500; the re-
belsslest about the same, including
prisoners taken by us. Don't think
there will be much fighting this side
Of Kingston. Very few stragglers
coming in from tbe rebel army. Our
division is in fine condition, and all
ire anxious to be in front in the pur-
Iuit OF the retiring foe.
Yours truly,
J.H. NJ. MONTGOMERY, I
