HISTORY OF GREEN COUNTY. 
 
died on the battle field in defense of his 
country's flag, and she may well be proud of 
him. He was a brave man. Peace to his ashes. 
November 20.-A private note from Mr. Bry- 
ant verifies the rumor of the death of Edgar 
Ross a member of Capt. Flood's company. It 
will be remembered that he was wounded at 
Bolivar and taken prisoner by the enemy. He 
died of lock-jaw at Charlestown, Va., on the 
26th ult. Thus our brave men attest their de- 
votion to the principles of free government. 
A letter to Judge Dunwiddie from Frederick, 
Md., brings the sorrowful intelligence of the 
death of Clark Austin of this place, a member 
of Capt. Flood's company, who, after a very 
short illness, died of. fever in"the hospital in 
that city on the 15th inst. Private Austin had 
been taking care of the sick of our company in 
the hospital, and was highly valued by them as 
a superior nurse. 
November 27.-On Saturday last, William 
Foster and George Gay, members of Capt. 
Flood's company, who were wounded in the 
battle of Bolivar, arrived here on a furlough. 
Their wounds are doing well, and they hope 
soon to be able to join the regiment. Gay was 
wounded during a retreat from a position held 
by the enemy, and he attributes his escape from 
capture to the noble conduct of Silas Gardner, 
who at a great risk to himself assisted him off 
the field. 
The ladies of the village meet this Wednes- 
day afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the residence of 
J. B. Treat, for the  purpose  of organizing 
a society for furnishing relief to our soldiers in 
the hospital and in the field, by providing such 
things as socks, mittens, etc., for them, which 
will conduce very much to their health and 
comfort; and which they would not have if they 
are not furnished by the women of the loyal 
States.  This is a noble work, and we hope 
that the example of this society will be followed 
in every neighborhood throughout the country. 
Every household  can contribute something. 
 
While we are enjoying the comforts and pleas- 
ures of home, let us not forget those who are 
offering their lives for our protection. 
December 11.-Our readers will be gladto learn 
that for gallant conduct in the action at Bolivar, 
and for general efficiency in the discharge of 
duty,   Mr. Bryant has been again    recom- 
mended by'the colonel of his regiment for pro- 
motion. He entered the service last spring as 
a private; shortly after the regiment went into 
camp at Fond du Lac, he received the appoint- 
ment of sergeant-major, he has since been twice 
promoted upon merit alone ; once upon the re- 
commendation of the colonel, now brigadier- 
general Hamilton, he was commissioned as 2d 
lieutenant in the Watertown Rifles, company A, 
recently he has been recommended by Capt. 
Bertram and Col.Ruger and has received his com- 
mission as 1st lieutenant in the same company. 
We congratualate our friend more upon the 
fact that he has proved himself worthy of suc- 
cess, than that he has acquired it, and hope that 
the responsibilities of his new position will not 
prevent him from appearing regularly, in hig 
own proper person before the readers of the 
Senti~nel.

military knowledge, and his gentlemanly con- 
duct. We wish him abundant success.
