Wells, of Cap tain King's Company, 4th Alabama Regiment, datad Manassas, July 22, to his father, J. D. Wells, Esq., of this oity : "Every field officer in my regiment was kill ed, and the men greetly cut to pieces; but we gained laurels by our gallant conduct. A six- pound eannan ball passed between my legs, and would have cut them off, if I had uot been picking blackberries, and had my fret wide apart. A spent musket ball struck me on the shoulder, but did no damage more than to raise a knot. John White fought geilautly throughout.— He shot one fellow down, and did not kill him, he thereupon seixsd his baggage, told him to rise and follow him, which the wounded man did. At another time when hie regiment was scattered, he seized the flag and charged on a lot of cannon, which were taken. He is un hurt. Tho night after the battle, 1 lay down and alept all night by myself, where I could nei ther hear or eea anything except the soft hum of the wind, and the groans of wounded men, and the heavens above me.” We learn that John White, alluded to, is a nephew of Mr. Wells, and is not yet sixteen years old. Extract of a letter from N. M. Calder. Esq., to hia wife, dated at Manassas, .1 uly 22 : Dear Lucretia : I hasten to inform you that our eon, Nat, and myself are safe. Nat was •truck with a bomb in the breast. His tin cup saved hie life. He fell and remained there for some time. When be recovered, our regiment had left the place, and be wan lost from me.— He attached himself to a Louisiana Regiment, and fought desperately, lie was near being taken prisoner, but escaped by juropiug ou an artillery horse. I was struck by three balls, hut, thank God, not hurt seriously. The field of battle presented a bond scene. To see hundreds of human beings lying dead, and in the agonies of death, crying for water, I was truly distressing. I took two of the poor j creatures out of the sun aud gave them some • water. They were our enemies.” Extract of a letter from Dr. A. 8. Mayaon, Assistant Surgeon in the 7th Regiment: Maxassas, July 23, 1861. My Dear Wife: After several days of ex citement, I teat myself to let you know that I am still living. We arrived here from Win chester on Saturday. Ou Sunday morning about 7 o’clock, the cannonading commenced about four miles distant, and we received or der* to march immediately. The 7th and 8th Georgia Regiments were the first to reach the field. The 8th Regiment wee rushed into a position, by Col. Bartow, from which they had to retreat, in which they were almost shot to pieoes. James George, was shot through the abdomen, and then taken prisoner. He wae afterwards re-taken from them by us, brought to the Junction, and died. Joel Yarborough wae wounded—not seriously, and Mr. Orr was killed on the field. Brother William was shot through the fleehy part of the thigh. I don’t think he will suffer much. None of the Powder Springs Company w«s killed, though Ceptain Moysr was wounded in the hand, end it is thought will die. I have eaten but two regular meals since Sunday. I never did as hard a day's work in my life at on that day. I dressed wounds all day, until 12 o’clock at night. Then I went to the battle-field and hunted the dead and wounded till day; and I did not leave the field till last night. All day to day, I have beeu dressing over the wounds of our soldiers, aud I am hungry and sleepy. Tell Dr. Hoyle that his brother, Eli, w„e tho first man that rushed upon Sherman’s battery. When the command for a charge was given, he jumped upon one of the cannons, killed the man that controlled it, took his sword, knife and spur, and kept hit position until the enemy fled. But I must close. May Heaven bless you. A. S. MAYSON.” We were shown a biscuit, all the way from Manassas, of the Doctor’s kneading and bak ing, which shows that he is an adept in the culinary art as well as in dressing the wound> of soldiers; end were informed that he labored •very way to render the sick and wound com fortable, and succeeds better then any of the cooks in fixing up good things for the lick.— Men who thus labor for the good of their fel low-men, are worthy of everybody’* esteem.
