Faithful Unto Death.

The battle OF Greenbrier River was a
small and unimpor,ant affair, occurring on
the Sd of October, 1851, and was re-
markable more for instances Of indiVidusl
bravery than for any display Of general
ship on the part of The. respective com
msnders. The fact is, the entire brun.
Of the actual fighting fell upon our pick
els. who, rallied under The orders Of Lieu.
iepan, Gibson. Of the Third Arkansas.
bravely stood their ground against over
whelminp odds for NOR than four hours.
Among that intrepid band was boy Of
not more than seventeen years, named
William Blocker. an Arksnsisn. We
found his body next dsy. his bowels par
italy torn out probably by grapsshot'l
a musket ball through his right bress',and
bsyonet stab through the left. We bur-
led him near .he spot, and he sleeps in
the grave OF freemsn, far away amid the
Allies n aniss. more blesl than those who
survived him. There were three broth
ers. One fell at Gettysburg and one
left an arm in the Wilderness, and is now
dependent upon his parents for that sup
port which, under happier circumstances,
he should have given them in their old
sge:
After the surrender of the Confederate
armies met, in Indianapolis, Indians. a
young man who bad belonged to the
Fourteenth Indiana during the 6rst year
of The war. and knowing that his regiment
was at the Greenbrier fight They ran ..
way and left their colors on the hsld.) |
mentioned the circumstances. when he
said he was present when young Blocker
was killed. begged him to relate the
particulars, which he did. ss nearly as i
can recollscL as follows:
Zone regiment" said be. occupied
the lurnpiks; sdVsncing upon our left,
