Colonel Lyon’s Letters.
Stevenson, Ala., Sun., May 29, 1864.—The 132d Indiana (100-days men) arrived here last evening to relieve us, and we go to Claysville, which is the last of the poor 13th for the next 100 days. No fighting, no wounds, no glory for us. Oh, how badly you will feel about it. We shall not leave, I think, until the last of the week, as our transportation has only this morning left Nashville, and it comes through by land. We were all well satisfied here, and yet the boys never left a place more cheerfully.
The country where we go has not been so badly devastated as this, and it is said to be a good country. We expect to revel in fruit. The peach crop will be very heavy this year.
I learn that poor George Yout was killed. He was a brave, good boy, and I feel great sympathy for his family and friends.
