a fight between some of Longstreel’s
men and a detachment of Federal cav
alry at DandrM/re, Tcnn., In 18C4, Pro
fessor Seaford, of North Carolina, was
killed. He was a private in the Wash
ington Light Infantry from Charleston
8. C. and would not accept a commis
sion, though It was tendered him sev-
eml tfmesr g»ww»'bwfg
where be was killed, and his comrades
returned to tbefr quarters, several
miles ’away; About two weeks after
the flght-a letter came to Lis address.
The captain of the company opened tr,
and It proved to be from a young lady
to whom Seaford was engaged to be
married. It was written 00 tho very
day the fight occurred at Dandtidge,
related a dream the writer had just
had, in which she saw Seaford lying
dead on tho battlefield shot through
the left breast—describing the death
wound exactly as it was, and even the
topography of the field, though she
had never seen ir, and in all probability
knew no (Ling about the battle. Bite
begged bin to send her a Jock of his
hair as a sacred memento, should any*
thing happen to liha.
