rhat long toilsome march after Bragg,ompletely broke it down. A good ma-ly men that were strong and healthy be* Hiore leaving home, are now completely(vorn out and disheartened. The morn-;ng reports of the Orderly Sergeants givei total of men able for duty, of 530; butOrderlies report men for duty who are notreally able to do duty, and deductingththese from the number reported, 1 think, | inthe figures would stand about 450 or 475 ju.at most. Co. K reports 52 non-commis- thsioned others and privates tit for duty, }’lt;while there are never more than 30 or 35 il‘01rion Dress parade.I have not as yet been to Nashville, p but I learn from good authority that the tl sick are miserably cared for, and that thewmen are dying very fast. The hospitalsfrare full to overflowing, and of course „m nthere cannot be the same attention paid f. to the inmates that there could were there r,fewer of them. For the benefit of their 0 friends, I will give a list of those belong- ° ing to Co. K, that are in hospitals.In the hospital at camp:—Samuel iiMover, S. S. Stover, Win. Boganriuht, g Geo. Propst and B. A. Jones. *In hospital at Nashville:—Geo. Anderson, .Jonathan Powless, James Mor- t gan and Michael Klever. cFrederick Horming, Danville, Kv. 1Smith R. Lambert, Louisville, Kv.mThe following named persons have beenleft behind the company at various timesand places, and I cannot sav where they tW : W-are, but the Captain seems to think thevare at home. If so, they are requestedto return immediately to the company.■W' S m'r- Jor let there whereabouts be known, or beconsidered as deserters.George Rowe, LaFayette Strope, Henry Wanenbnrg, Randolph Green.Out of the 98 men whom the Captainhad at Louisville, there are but five (asfar as we know,) who have been willingto rLk the penalty and incur the disgraceof desertion. 1 herewith send you theirnames so that the world may know them;and knowing them, shun them as thevwould a villain of the deepest dye: Forwhat else are they? They have proventhemselves cowards and perjurers; forthey have wantonly deserted the flag ofwhich every loyal citizen should be proud,and which he should defend until the last;and they have forgotten the oath which ; they had so solemnly taken to obevf| superior officers, and abide by the lawsof the U. S. Ilere are their names, remember them:Phillip C. Adams, Wra. Gifford, Wm,Goings, M. D. L. Green and Levi Kettle.
