Major Flagg, as he arose from his bed received a ball in his head ; and when thev entered the house the}' stabbed and cut him in a cruel manner, that he cxpirtd immediately. A doctor of the New Hampshire line, and a lieutenant of tlie Massachusetts line, was wounded in the house and carried off. Lieutenant Maco'Tibcr being sick in bed, wss made a prisoner. Ensign Guanman, who commanded a guard at the bridge, with himself and all but me was talking or killed.

I went on the lines the evening before, to pay off the troops, and tarried with Greeman, my horse being hitched at the door ; and when the alarm was given, I saddled him and just made my esc-ape. My flight was so rapid, I left my recpts, behind. The woman of the house was so kind as to hide them, so that I received them again. The loss, my dear friend, must fall heavily on the family; but as life is uncertain, we must surrender it when the great Johovah calls. To-morrow we shall bestow on each of them the honors that is due to men who so nobly suilered the pains of death in the service of their countr_v. It is uncertain what number we had killed and talking; but I believe n!)0ut fortj' talking, and near twenty killed and wounded. John is killed. Prince wounded and I am affraid will dye.

Please to make my respects to your mamma and sisters, and believe me to be with esteem [ Signed ]
