A few days ago, a number of wounded sob dier-s arrived at Cheste*, and, as our noble women there always dp, they bestowed upon them every attention, gave them food, rest, and rebfludaged' their wounds. .

Let me tell one though I know of auuthcr' precisely similar, with the exception of thc fainting. A gentleman residing in one one of the j western counties of^ Aiabaiua, bordering on i Mississippi, volunteered early iu the war.
