Lieut. Col. Barnes . . .

. . . of the 37th Illinois regiment, one of the brave men who participated in the battle of Pea Ridge, graced our sanctum with his presence yesterday.  He is looking very well but suffering from the effects of a severe cold.  His furlough extends ten days longer, when he will rejoin his regiment.
