COL. YoUNe's 100000 WATCH.
A Memento of the Thrilling Events of
July 90, 1854.

This is the day that a number OF
our citizens hold sacred in memory
events that tried mems courage.
1t is the twenty-sixth anniversary
of the battle of Atlanta, in which so
many of our boys were engaged.
Col. w. f. Young commanded the
10th and 42d Tennessee regimen; is
and was leading the charge on the
enemy's lnusket WORKS on Lick
Skillet road amid a shower OF bullets,
when sixty-three brave men fell.
Col. Young still has the silver watch
which he carried in his left vest
pocket at the time, and which stop
ped a minie-ball that was going
straight to his heart. Three balls
passed through his clothing and two
through his right arm, cutting it off.
Capt. Dunlop, of Charlotte, was
killed in the act of carrying Col.
Young from the field, and Capt.
Thos. Ill. Smith assumed command
of the regiment after six of his supe-
rior officers had fallen. Polk G.
Johnson, G. II. Bailey, Jas. Wells
and many other GAINESVILLE boys
were in this severe struggle. Robt.
Goostree and Capt. Jas. B. Howard
were killed in this fight. One sing
ular circumstance, Polk G. Johnson,
who was in this fight, and whom his
comrades loved as a brother for the
manly and noble traits that ever
characterized his life, died one year
ago to-day, the 25th anniversary of
this battle, and just at the hour that
the regiment entered the fight.
Col. Young says the watch saved
his life long enough for him to earn
500, 600 and therefore it is worth that
sum, and he would not part with it
for any consideration.
