He received a painful wound in .he breast, but refused to leave the field, 3heermg on his men until the rebels were driven back.

Holloway.—This gentleman is thesubject of unbounded praise by all visitors to the late battle-field and by the wounded soldiers who are indebted to his kind offices for immediate attention on the battle-field and for a speedy return to their homes. The editor of the Lafayette Journal, in a letter from the Field of Shiloh, says:All of the Indiana wounded have been taken to the river towns, I am told. It is gratifying to see the thankfulness of our Indiana soldiers for the promptness and kindness with which they have been attended. There are many and loud complaints from troops of other States. I have heard many regret that they had not enlisted as Indiana soldiers. Secretary Holloway has visited every Indiana regiment, and personally inspected their condition. I have been astonished at his energy and efficiency,in this business. Considerable opposition was made by certain red-tape officials at Savannah to the removal of some sick and wounded Indianians at that place. His manner of cutting red-tape was refreshing. At a meeting of the surgeons and volunteer assistants on board the Charley Bowen, the following well deserved resolution was unanimously adopted:Itcnohfid, That the thanks of this meeting bo and are hereby tendered to Colonel Holloway for his many courtesies on this expedition; we recognize in him (ho right man in the right place—one who by his general urbanity and untiring energy has proven his peculiar litness for the dii-churge of the delicate and important duties that have been imposed upon him by the Executive of Indiana.Testimonial.Rev. A. W. Sanford, Chaplain of the Eighth Indiana, passed through the city yesterday, on a short visit to his family at Marion, Grant county, Indiana. The dust of Pea Ridge and the smoke of battle are fresh on his garments. His own description of the battle is familiar to all the readers of the Journal, and h's personal account adds nothing except the minuter details. The following testimonial was obtained by a friend, and is published at his request, and without the knowledgeof Mr. Sanford:Camp Cross Timbers, Ark., April 14, ’62.We, the undersigued, officers of the Eighth Indiana Regiment, avail ourselves of the present moment, when our esteemed Chaplain, Rev. A. W. Sanford, is about returning for a short time to his home, to bear testimony of the high regard we have for him, both as a Christian gentleman and as an efficient officer, and last, but not least, as a brave man.Mr. Ban lord has been with us for the past six months, and with us made the terrible winter march from Lamineiu Missouri to Sugar Creek in Arkansas, and was present and under fire at the battle of Pea Ridge.From the battle field he went to the hospital, and there, day and night, was unremitting in his kind offices to the wounded, until, worn down, he now, for a short time, returns to the “States” to recruit his health, and carries with him the kind regards and best wishes of the whole command.W.
