"WOUXDED UXTO DEATH. "
Detroit Frco Press : At Uioxcton ,
where tlio gallant ] 'h 11 Koainoy vxas
killed as wo were trying to l eoj ) Jackson
bai'ic , I was struck in the right leg by ; i
bullet which scrapud the bone. Had I
been in health and vigor I could have
ci.ixxled away oil the Held of b.itllo , but
1 had been out of the ho-spital only a few
dajs and ic.illy had no business in the
i.ink's. I got out a bandage and cheeked
the How of blood as w ell a T eemlel , and
then got into the nuwt comfortable posi
tion to wait the tin n of events. The
i know ledge that my wound was not a
1 f.ital one , and the belief that I would not
| I even loio my leg , kept mo in prottj good
spirits , and I saw and heard all tlmt
went on mound mo.
Nearby were three men who were
moit.illj wounded. The one at my feet
vx.is a htiong and robust man and had
his left hip sluitlored by a piece of Mioll.
Ho had been unconscious fieun the shock
feir u long time , but when he eanio to lie
began lo swear in the most xigoious
manner. Ho hart a wife ami children at
home , but he did not seem lo give them
a thought. Heswoio at his wound , at
the enemy , at the battery behind us , at
himself for enlisting , and at mo when I
asked him if I could help him. Ho died
while Indulging in a strain of piofanity ,
and ho had scarcely fallen back w hen
one of thoolhois loused up and went
through the h.uno pioe-eeding and died I
e.xaetly the .same way. j
When .Too Hooke-r flung us at the ter
rible Mono wall at the foot of MIIJIO'H
hill in the stieets of Frederickhburg I
hart my cap knockort oil bj a bullet.
Then a f-eeond btiuck mj musket , ami u
thhd tote the cloth on my left shoulder.
I know t should bo hit , but I did not feel
the bullet which plowed into my light
shoulder. Tlio llrst I know I began to
grow dl//y , and all at oaco I panic down
in a heap. 1 am sure I fainted away , for
things had changed vv hen I onc'o more
opened my 03os. Our lines had been
dilveil back , and the confederates were
cheering. Tlio first thing xvas to icach
my canteen , which was foitunateJy full
of water. The next thing was to feel for
a bandage and .stall the soft cloth into
the wound as well as I could. Dead and
dying men vveio _ Ijlng all about
me , and hero I Haw two dilTeient

and who had been shot , in the stomach ,

who was older and a far heavier man ,
sat up at my right hand. A pie-ce of
shell had struck him in the side. In
stead of bwearing ho fell to w coping.
He hadn't a vvoid about homo or friends ,
but muttered that it wasn't fair to shoot
him down that way , and that ho vxas
always in bad luck , and there \xeio
li.'iuri ( in liin cheeks when ho breathed
his hint.
It touches the heait to read of a btiiial
party finding .a dead soldier with his
hiblo or some loved one's photograph in
Ills hand , but I never came acioss any
thing of that sort. A mail wounded
unto death will either Rxvcnr or cry.
Wheio ho does neither ho will crawl
awaj by himself to die or hold his poaeo.
What ho thinks of no ono can tell , but I
have found plenty of thorn who evidently
lived for an hour after being hit , and
who had blblus or pliotogiaphs with
them and could have got thorn out , but
did not.
1 have alxvayH belioxvd that the man
who was mortally wounded and had only

in a pitiful way. I know three brotheiH
to bo nun tally wounded by the same

so that it was a subject of i email : . The
bontlmcutullot would picture them
in ouch other's aims mid bidding each

the case. Ono of them , as a wounded
man told mo , swoie in an awful xxaj , a
second wept , vxhile the thhd kept his
peace. Kachciopt away in a dilleront
iliieclion to die , and there was a dis
tance of a bundled foot be-twcen their
dead boilies when we found the m.
In assisting to bury tlio dead at Gelt v

been wounded in the bie-ast , and could

must have sulleied teiiibl.v while djlng ,
but at the last moment tlio pain left
him and ho was ftee. This was no doubt

smiloof iejeicingand lelief. After the
light \yilliamsburg wo found a sol
dier who died fiom a shot in thn gioiu.
Ho had taken * ! ( ( ) fiom his pocket and
placed it under his bodj.toin up two
lettois and had spread n hamlkeichiof
over his fne-c , and passed axxaj so quietly
'
that his countenance betiay'ed none of
the pain which must have been bin.

who had been shot in the side' , walked a

tightly clutched in the right hand , as if
