Our highly esteemed and patriotic young friend, Capt. JH Vanarsdall, company “B” of the “Bloody 10th has been sojourning in this place for the past few days. The Captain, though somewhat reduced in weight, appears to be in the enjoyment of his usual good health. He goes to the eastern portion of the state within a few days on business and from thence to Kentucky for the purpose of rejoining his regiment.- Capt. Vanarsdall requests us to say that two men can join his company by reporting themselves to Capt. WE Carroll of Lafayette.  Capt. Carroll will leave with recruits for the 10th regiment on the 15th of March.

35 years ago the 19th inst it will be remembered the memorable battle of Mill Springs, Ky was fought. The 10th Indiana regiment, which had a company from Montgomery County was one of the leading regiments in this engagement. Among those who were killed were James E. Copner and Amos K. Misner of Co B. It will also be recalled that the rebel General Zollicoffer was also killed. James Viers lived about 7 miles from the battlefield and next day after the battle he went over there and was present when gen. Zollicoffer was prepared for burial. A cake of soap about 8” long was used. After the washing the soap was cut in small pieces and given to those present, Mr. Viers receiving a piece. This same piece was exhibited at the Journal office Friday. After the war Mr. Viers moved to this county and settled on Black Creek. He, however, kept the soap while he lived and at his death his oldest son, William was presented with it who prizes it as a relic of the war.
