Adj. Tyner's servant . . .

. . . arrived in town the other day, bringing with him the adjutant’s horse and some of his accoutrements and property. On the morning of the first day of the fight, Mr. Tyner left his horse in care of his servant, with his uniform, watch and pocketbook. He wore on the field a fatigue dress. The servant made good his escape, and safely brought the property home.
