The Daily Dispatch: June 5, 1862., [Electronic resource], The recent skirmish near Pocotaligo, S. C. (search)
, and soon came upon the Yankees. Dr. Goddard was shot dead. Private Lawton found himself surrounded by armed men, but he put spurs to his horse and dashed off. The enemy fired at him, and a buckshot or small pistol ball passed through his lung. He reached camp and received every attention, but the wound is reported as rather serious. Although quite young, he has been in the war from the beginning, sharing the dangers and suffering from disease as a member of the Palmetto Guard in Virginia. Privates Smith and Stuart are wounded in the shoulder slightly. Private Hughes, through the body, severely; and Private Gough was injured in the eye by splinters from a tree. A member of Major Morgan's squadron was killed, but we have not heard his name. We had about 250 men in the action. Our troops showed great willingness and courage, and the Rutledge Mounted riflemen particularly distinguished themselves, receiving the well done of the commanding officer of the district, Col. Walker.
