TENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
His bravery remembered, his name and virtues will form a brilliant episode in its interesting biography.
Another correspondent writes as follows:
" The 10th Michigan and an Illinois regiment gallantly advanced over two sharp ridges, and when at the southern base of the second, and preparing to ascend the third, they were checked by a raking enfilading fire of canister shot from the right and left, which . tore relentlessly and fatally along the entire line, and, added to the terrible musketry fire from the ridge, now covered with a swarming host, was fearfully destructive of human life.
