 My poor friend, Tom Ewell, was the hero of the dsy--the first man inside their ~orks--and had stabbed two of the enemy with his sabre when he mortally wounded in the abdomen. He lived till o'clock that night. and died gently He be- haved with the greates courage and when suffering the greatest agony, press firmly hs lips together and close his eyes during the paroxysm of pain. He disdained to groan and refused to mention his mis. fortune. One time he said to Major Loring .I wish was dead shall be in half an hour" Gen Scott came to where he lay. took his hand and told him he was the hero of the battle; that he must not should die" He was ready to weep over so gallant officer. EweIl thanked hial; but his looks spoke too plainly his great soul vas almost free He died calmly, his Brother by his side and lies buried in rough coffin on the sde of the Cetro Gordo, near its top, next tO the road--he scene at once of his glory and his death. Will not Tennessee claim his remains; ; He fought for her honor and claimed to bc her adopted soa.-Our State should erect mon- unent to him who drew around the spot where he lay dying not only the officers of his regiment but all who could get there--the commanding general included. His ears were filled with the applause of friends and strangers; but all in yainnoihsg could save him. ."-- Adshriiie Union.
