was yesterday morning taken home to his father’s residence on Main street, corner of Locust. He is wounded in the leg above the ankle, the ball striking and fracturing the large bone of that limb. Mr. Shields did not find Lieut. H. till some three days after he arrived at Cairo, when he found him in St. Louis, where he had been taken. Mr. S. had him removed to a hotel and properly cared for. He is improving and hopes to rejoin his company before two months have elapsed.
