A WAR ROMANCE.
A Little Bnbe nj shiloh 49, What He
came oft.


The following letter has been received
at the Office OF the adjutant general OF
Ohio!
CHARLESTON, \, Z March -, ISL.
TO the AdJutant General state OF Ohio,
Columbus, Ohio.
SIR--ln conversation yesterday with
an ex-conledegate soldier learn the
following facts which | deem of suin,
cient Importance to lay before you.
At about eight o'clock ON tn first
morning Of the battle of Shiloh eater
the confederate infantry undor General
Breckenridge had driven body of fed,
eral troops from their position toward
the river, q battery of Georgia artillery
following close behind, came upon the
dead body of a lady lying outside of n
tent in the rear of what was supposed
to be the camp of the Fiity-ffth Ohio
volunteers-many of the dead of that
regiment, dressed in Houave uniform.
being on the ground by the side of
the dead lady was Il little child, beauti-
fully clad, who seemed unconscious
of its mothers death. Some of
the men of the battery covered
the child with their blankets and
placed it in charge oftwo of the federal
prisoners and then passed on What
became of the child afterward cannot at
this time be positively ascertained, but
it is thought that the confederate divi>
sion surgeon saw to its welfare. The
breastpin having the ladys likeness on
one side, and that of gentleman in
citizens dress on the other side, is now
in the keeping of an ex-member of the
battery, who am assured would be glad
to return it to the husband or relative
of the deceased lady.
| do not know from what part ofyour
state the Fifty.fourth Ohio came but the
records of your office will show that
fact. \ knowledge of the above made
known to any of the surviving officers
in your district in which the regiment
was raised may be of interest to some of
its living members, as would q knowl-
edge of what became of the child to the
survivors of the Georgia battery. The
fate of the child interests me, and |
should be glad TO know lift ever came
into the possession of its relatives.
Very respectfully

Formerly resident of Circleville, Ohio.
