BATTLE OF RAYMOND.

The battle of Raymond, Miss., was a terrific strife in which Texans
bore a conspicuous part.  Col. Granberry, commanding the 7th Texas, 
said:  "Capt. W. H. Smith, after acting with marked gallantry, fell 
pierced with three balls; Capt. J. W. Brown was wounded in the head 
and ab­domen, but borne from the field and saved; Capt. J. H, Col­lett 
was wounded by a grapeshot; Capt. 0. P. Forrest fell in the retreat; 
Lieuts. J. C. Kidd, J. W. Taylor, A. H. White, were wounded.  Lieuts. 
J. D. Miles and T. S. Townsend were slightly wounded.  Lieuts. W. A. 
Collier and J. N. Monin are among the missing.  Capt. E T. Broughton 
was also among the missing, being one of the last to leave the 
position.  Lieutenant-Colonel Moody and Major Van Zandt were 
commended for bravery.  Of the regiment as a whole the greatest 
compliment to its valor is the record that it lost 158 out of 306."
