B. C. Foster, of the Grove Hill Guards, a participant in the recent great fight near Richmond, has returned home, with a pretty severe wound in the left arm, near a similar one received in the battle of Chickahominy. He kindly furnishes us the following list of the wounded of his company as far as he could ascertain up to the day the fight terminated: G. W. Bettis wounded in right breast. A. Y. Bettis flesh wound in thigh. G. W. Hudson flesh wound in thigh. J. F. Hudson flesh wound in thigh (slight). Dr. A. F. Hall wounded in right arm. Wyley Moize slight wound in the head. J. W. Joiner wounded in the arm. John Daffin wounded in the leg. J. Creagh Howze wounded in the leg. -- Turner wounded slightly in the head. G. W. Davis wounded slightly in the hip. Allen Roberts wounded in head and both arms. G. Wash. Williams wounded slightly in shoulder. Charles Sisson wounded in the hand. Jerry Boutwell, 3d Lieutenant, wounded in the foot. W. H. Doughtry wounded slightly under the chin. Caleb Summers wounded. The company went into the fight forty-eight strong and had seventeen wounded. In the two battles-that of the Chickahominy and in the late battle- this company has had forty-four killed and wounded. Others may have been wounded in the late battle, as Lieut. Foster received no intelligence from the company after the termination of the last day's fight. We had the pleasure of seeing, this morning, Capt. Simeon T. Woodard, who reached here last night, direct from Richmond. He is doing well, though wounded in the arm and leg. He says that the following of the Grove Hill Guards were killed: T. W. Vernon, W. W. Huggins, George Steed, J. L. Turner and A. J. Wheeless."
