The Muscatine Journal says that Sergt. Alfred Carey of Cedar Co., in the 11th regiment, was hit in the left side by a musket-ball at the late battle, but the ball came in contact with a package of eight letters in his coat pocket. It went through six of the letters, and brought up, completely flattened, against the remaining letters.
