A brave soldier.

--Under this head we mentioned, Monday, the presence in our city of a brave Virginia volunteer from Montgomery county, who fought in the great battle Sunday before last under the noble Beauregard and his heroic compeers, and who, though badly wounded in three places, would not go home till he had gotten well and had one more crack at the Yankees. His name is Crockett Grayson, instead of Howard Grayson, as we inadvertently stated. He is stopping at the house of Geo. S. Palmer, Esq., and if anybody wants to see a noble specimen of a loyal Western Virginian, let them call and see Crockett Grayson. They are very hard to kill, and very unwilling to acknowledge the fact after the deed is accomplished.
