Sergeant WESTFALL'S wound at Strawberry Plains was a severe one, and he doubtless owes his life to a stratagem of Surgeon HAMMOND. The wounded from that battle field were brought off on a steam transport under positive orders to take them all to Washington, but the transport stopped at City Point to have such as had died on the passage to that place, taken off; Surgeon HAMMOND then in charge of a hospital at City Point, went on board and recognizing WEST- FALL as a soldier from his own Regiment, in a condition such that he would be unlikely to survive the passage, he told WESTFALL to feign death, and he then covered him up with a blanket or tent cloth, and soon WESTFALL was taken on shore with the dead and then was carried to hospital and, under the most careful treatment and attendance, he recovered as much as the nature of the wound would permit.
