We omitted to give credit to Mr. J. E. Wilson for some late Richmond and other papers. Mr. Wilson is just from Tennessee, and was at the battle of Shiloh and Murfreesboro'. He belonged to the 8th Texas Cavalry, or Terry's regiment. Mr. R. W. Davis from near Seguin, also came by the Central train. He belonged to the 4th Texas regiment, and was in all the battles before Richmond.
