One Of The Unknown.-During the winter of 1864-65 a Confederate soldier was killed about one mile south of Tazewell, Tenn., when a scouting party ran up on the Federal pickets in the night, and he was buried by women the next day. We expect to move his remains to the Confederate Square in the Irish cemetery here. Can any one give us his name? I think Maj. George Day, of the 12th Tennessee Battalion, was in command; and I know the party was composed if details from Carter's 1st Tennessee Cavalry, Ashby's 2d, and Vaughn's Brigade, as I saw them on their return to Morristown, where we were camped. Address Thomas G. Fulkerson, New Tazewell, Tenn.
