Col. Tilden is one Of the best officers from
this State, and is beloved by all the officers
and men of his regiment. He was taken pris-
oner at the battle OF Gettysburg, and was held
for nearly nine months i'll the notorious Libby
Prison, from which he made his escape by tun
neling. He was again taken prisoner in the
attack on the Weldon Railroad; but escaped
just as they were about to enter the cars for
Richmond. He had seen enough Of the
Libby and had no idea of again being
obliged to take up quarters there he ranks
high among the gallant officers Of the army.
Lieut.. Col Farnham was wounded at the
battle Of Five Forks, and the bullet Is still in
bis body. He is recovering rapidly, and is
expected home to-day or to morrow.
