Letter from Sargent McPherson, of the
Davis Infantry, to hie Brother A- Mc
Pherson, Esq.
Rioanonu, July 20.
Dear Brother t Having a fin* opportunity
to writ* you a foliar, 1 hasten to make ua* of
U.
As you sn, I am in Richmond—came down
yesterday, with on* of my comrades, from
Mananas, (Alonso Bnscd-I suppose you kosw
him,) who was wounded in the footbyagrape
shot. I am also slightly wounded in the head,
by a Minnie rifle ball. It was only a “ tip,"
but th* tip went lo the skull, but without any
fractur*. I did not think it went to the bone,
until about aa hour ago, with two glasses, I
could, with a pair of scissors, probe to the
bon* without pain.
The particulars of tbs battle you will find
in tb* Richmond papers, fuller than I can
give them ; but I will say that it was a terri
bis, bloody battle, nod I was in it. 1 have
seen the horrors of war, in all its blood and
terror. My curiosity is satisfied; but I am
a* anxious to sgaio brave its perils lo defend
our oountry and repel her invaders.
A man who has never witnessed the carnage
of n battle field, oau form no idea of its terror
aad grandeur. It is true, that during ih* in
tense cxcitemebi of the conflict, the eight of
a man being shot dowu by your side, or an-
other mangled by a bomb, does not affect you;
but, after all is over, and you walk over the
field of strife, you have time to consider and
reflect on tbs horrid scenes around y.u—bare
a man, perhaps your friend, with a bullet
through his heart, cold in death, others lorn
and mangled—some dead, some dying, others
wounded beyond hop* of recovery—mutilated
bodies and parts of bodits—it is horrid to
contemplate, especially when you remember
that, amid all Ihl*. carnage, you was one of
th* actors, and only lbs smallest partition of
bon* was between yon and death.
Th* Yankees were so badly whipped that
they did not ask permission to bury tbeir
dead, nor tak* charge of their wounded. We
did *o, but many of them were in a deplora
ble condition before we could render any as-
sislauce. a « « Suob scenes
wer* at first was sickening, but they were so
numerous that we soon got " used to it ’’
It was my full intention, before I ever knew
what a battle was, to take charge of any of
my particular frieods who should get hurt
and spared. I sxpeoled the same from them.
Sneed, I am sure, would have spent all be had
and his lime for me, bad there been occasion
I shall do for him all in my power. I have
brought blin hers, and hav* him in one of tb*
most noble mansions I ever was in. Us baa
a room to himself, fitted up in th* most mag-
nifioeut styl*. We are non in the care of Mr.
Thomas W. Dudley, aergeaot of the city of
Richmond, who has offered to take charge ef
ua both until there should not b* the least
sign of a wound on ua, and would b* hippy
to tak* charge of as many more aa his house
would hold, withont fee or reward, except th*
plsslurt of serving th* protectors of his coun
try. Tbs good lady says w* shall be con-id
•red as her children as long as we are under
her care.
I have been pleased with the kindness and
hospitality shown soldiers ail through Virgin
ia, who se*m to vie with each other in doing
ail they can for us, except at Harper's Ferry,
where I believe the people would have betray
ed us, if they oould.
I suppose you hav* heard of the death of
John A. Puckett. There never was a braver
an on a battle field then he, or on* with a
kinder heart in the camp lie was shot dead
whil* shorn iug aad sacoursglng th* boys, who
followed him as they would a fath*r. His
death is much lamented by th* whol* compa
ny. Mr. Bagwell was also killed on lb* field.
Of th* Davis Infantry, two war* killed, and
steven wounded. I should lik* to glvs yon a
detail of my past few weeks, which be* been
pretty rough, If hard marching, aad actual
starving occasionally, be considered suck.
TeU everybody that I am y«t alive, and *i-

before long.

After describing th* fight at Laurel Hill aad
tb* retrial fr*m there towards B*v*riy in th*
night, learning that that place was occupied
by Ik* enemy, *h*n within four mile* of it,
and taming back in a northerly course lo I
•res* th* Allcgbani** into Hardy county, lbs
writer stats* that they reached Tucker coun
ty and encamped about 11 o’clook Friday
night, th* 11th July. The next morning, be
says
“Th* min whtoh had be*n falling almtsll
incessantly slno* w* left Laurel Hill, now
poured down in torrent* and soaked to tbel
skin, fatigued of msrehing, aad weak of bun
gar, w* left our camp fires and moved on our
journey. Th* roads w*r* so vary bad that car
train of wagon*, hsavily Icadsd as they were
th* day previous, oould not get along, and
fearing test th* army should pursue us, th*
tents and other baggage wer* thrown off to
lighten the loads. We now proceeded on our
journey and soon reached the Cheat River,I
about two miles Irom estop. There our Reg
imsnt (Col. Ramsey's) which bad covered the]
rear Ibe previous day, but which had got
ahead of tb* wagons after nigbt, having ford
ad the steam, waited till the train, together]
with tbs remainder of the army, bad passed
them. This oonsumed about two hours of]
lime Here it is proper for me lo state that the
Virginians had.lhe utmost confidence in the
skill and bravery of the G*jrgisns, for when
ever there was any danger, there tbcGeorgiansl
were placed, and as sn attack in the rear was
anticipated that day, w* were placed there
to meet it. The whole force except ours
having passed, th* advance portion, in con
sequence pf narrowness of th* road, being at
least four miles ahead, our oolunin was ready]
to prooeed, when our scouts reported that a]
company of the enemy were about half of a
mile behind us, and were tormenting our block
ading parly by shooting at them'Irom behind
trees at "long taw." Immediately one com
pany from our Regiment was stretched to lie]
in ambush for them, and the main body prow
needed on their way. But we had not gone]
more than one fourth of a mile, having been]
hindered by the wagons * half an hoar,
when the enemy were in sight. By this time
wo had reached another ford of the Cheat riv
er, it making thete a horse shoe-bend, when
seven of our companies wore stationed on the
sams side of the river with the enemy, at the
fool or a Mountain about two hundred yards
from the road white the remaining three com
panies crossed the river—two stationing them
Belres above and one below the ford and await
ed the arrival of th* loo. But it ssems that
tb* enemy 11 entiled a rat " end concluded not
to pass ourseven companies, but instead of com
ing across this bend as we had done,they follow
ed th* conn* of the river and thus came up
on the three companies stationed on the oppo
site aid* of th* stream without approaching
within range of th* guns of the seven compen
sates on the same side with them. Now the
battl* commenced, Ibe enemy pouring into
our ,midst a volley of musketry of at least
two thousand shots together with a shower of
grap* shot. Our brave boys stood the storm
of bullets without flinching, and quickly re
turned the fire, taking as deliberate aim as if
they were shooting squirrels. Th* combat
raged, balls hissed past ns aa thick us kail
but without effecting any damsgs or exciting
any.fear in the hearts of Georgia's brave son*.
Volley after volley was fired till the enemy
was almost all around us, when Col. Ramsey
seeing that the Virginians would not com* to
our rescue, they being three or four mites in
|sdvancs, and not being willing to sacrifice bis
men byjoonttndingjagalnet afore* thirty tim«s
our number, ordered a retreat. (The command
was reluctantly obeyed by the three compan
ies that were not lh*n cut off. This fight ended
vboVlli o’clock,by which time our forces ware
6 mites in advene* of us. Wc overtook Col Tol
liver’s Regiment at another ford of th* sum*
stream, about 1 o’elook, where w* caw ihatjii
wa* o*eea*arylhat we should leav* a portion of
our wagons which In consequence of bad slat*

long march. There is not a soldier who was
with us but whose feet are blistered—blreding
—and whoso limbs are so worn out that tboy
can walk only with great pain- I am, as re
gards health, perfectly well; though w* ware
in th* rain two days and nights; had to wade
creeks and rivers almost innumarabte; suffer
ed the pangs of hunger, and all othsr hard-
ships that oould possibly oomaupop aa Army.
My pen ia inadequate to the teak of portraying
the danger* and hardship* through which
have gone. No doubt we’ve suffered th* ago
nies of several dsaths; but inspired with aa
indomitable will, md unyielding persvoronoe,
protected by our arms, and supported by the
God of battles, wo have foughtour way through
ovary danger, and hava, the most of a*, arriv
ed bare, whore w* may rest for a short time,
and equip ourselves for the field.
As I have before stated, all th* Georgian* ex
cept 100, who are now hero, wer* cot off from
us in the mountains. W* hav* heard from
thorn several time*—all being undar Major
Thompson, who is making hi* way hither,
where we expect him to arrive this evening,
(Saturday, 20th.) From th* b**t information
I ean gain.only eight er ten of onr regiment
are missing, exoept those with Major Thomp
son, and w* hop* but fow of th*m are killed.
Although w* had to retreat, th* *n*my Is bad
ly whipped. Had th* whol* fore* b«*n brought
into action, md fought as bravely a* did iha
handful of Georgians, w* would hav* routed
them oomplotely. We lost ono ploc* of artil
lery in conaequenc* of tb* tongue’s breaking.
II wu spiked before w* left it; so it will not
be muoh of a prlu for th* enomy.”
