In the article in your paper on. the skirnish
at Tazewell. Tenn August 2, 1862, Lieutenant
Boyd asks for the names OF the two boys who
captured the rebel Colonel Gordon. Corporal
Paul Wilder and John McClnggage, both of

was promoted to sergeant, and was killed the
29th of December following at Chickasaw
Bayou. McCluggage died of disease at Mil
leans Bend, June Is, 1863 Men who had the
nerve to make such capture in open view of
two rebel regiments should not be forgotten.
