AVhen I got to Richmond I spoke to sev- eral gentlemen about this, and so did Mrs. Ricketts. They said, of course, the can'iage and horses should be returned, but they never were. " There is one debt," says tin,? g;dlant soldier, "that I desire very much to pay, and nothing troubles me so much now as the fact that my wounds prevent me from entering upon active service at once." The case of Louis Francis, who Avas terribly Avounded and maltreated, and lost a leg, is referred to by General Ricket...ts ; but the testimony of Francis him- self is startling. He was a private in the Ncav York 14th regiment. He says: *' I was attacked by two rebel soldiers, and Avounded in the right knee Avith the bayonet. As 1 lay on the sod they kept bayonetting me until I receiA^ed fourteen Avouuds. One then left me, the other remaining over me, Avhen a Union soldier coming up, shot him in the breast, and he fell dead. I lay on the ground until 10 o'clock next day. I Avas then remoA'ed in a AA-agon to a building ; my wounds examined and partially dressed.
