Colonel Lyon’s Letters.
Edgefield, Tenn., Sun. eve., April 17, 1864.—There is a great demand for houses here, and many efforts are being made to turn these poor refugees out of doors, you know they are numerous here. I have been and am still protecting them, and in doing so get complained of occasionally at headquarters. I am ahead, though, up to this present writing.
