Before day the dog
horn and the yelping of hounds was heard. Men on parole about the depot had
attempted to escape. Two trains of wounded from Hood's army passed here. Rebels
report a victory, then admit a loss. Frederick, of my Company, died this afternoon.
He has been ailing but we did not think him dangerously ill. He was carried out
at 5 o'clock and is the 51st man who has died since 7 a. m. in prison.
