MARION COUNTY BOYS.

From a letter from Corporal Lo-
gan Williamson, Co. H., 1st Tenn,
describing a skirmish and loss of two
men, as he mentions two Marion
County boys, we take take the fol-
lowing IN his own words:
1--WE had no medical assistance or
even supplies, and for the first time in
my life found myself doing the sur
geon's act, Private Woodhead, of Chat
tanooga and myself binding up the
wounded as best we could.
After preparing our comrades for
burial, we made two rude slabs Of wood
(the soldiers tom bstone in this country
and with a simple yet touching cere-
mony from Corporal Triplet, we laid
poor Adams and Cote to rest. That
night we put our wounded aboard the
launch as gently as the huge breakers
would allow, and steamed out for Abu,
sad and thoroughly exhausted crowd,
for, after all, this was defeat to Ameri-
arms
Not a Tennesseean was injured.
though men were shot and wounded on
all sides of them, and it must have been
as our witty Irishman remarked: Some
Ould woman back in Tennessee is after
praying for us.
The detail from Tennessee were
Sergt. Mooreiield; Company II; Corp
Williamson, Corp. Triplett, Corp. Nor
row, Privates Doris, Smith, sullivan,
Woodhead, Burton and Harrison"
