Casulaties of Col. Wharton's (Terry's) Regiment.

We are indebted to Mr. J. M. Brownson, of Company E, in Terry's Regiment, for the following statement of casualties in Wharton's Regiment in the battle of Shiloh. Mr. B. says this statement may be relied on as correct as far as it goes. He was among the wounded and was returned home in consequence. Col. John A. Wharton was slightly wounded in the right leg below the knee, but not disabled.

Clinton Terry, brother of Col. Terry, who was acting with the Rangers, but without belonging to the company, was shot in the [side] in the first charge made by the Regiment, with the advance, on the 6th, but lived till the 14th, and died on the morning of that day.
