From a letter written by J. L. Hughes of Co. H., 81st reg.
O. V. U. S. A., from the Pittsburg battle-field, to his brother Mr. Harvey J.
Hughes, of this city, we learn that Dr. Charles Hughes, of this city, who in
the early excitement of the rebellion was suspicioned of entertaining secession
feelings, participated in that battle and escaped unscathed. We are glad to hear this and to place him
right on the record.
