Several deaths
have recently occurred at this place among the soldiers, and a number in the
various hospitals about town. Among the
dead we secured the names of Richard Tench of Co. E,
Capt. Stiles; Dallas Culley, Jasper McCleveland and Wm. Reed of Co. C., Capt. Skelton---all of
Bryan’s 16th Georgia Regt.—a part of the Cobb Legion.
Nearly every

The hospital of
the 16th Georgia Regiment is the house adjoining the Sun office.
