NEWPORT NEWS


THE DEAD COME TO LIFE-Andrew Burknett, of Company B, 23d Kentucky Infantry, who for six months past, has been supposed by his friends in Newport to be dead, arrived safely at home yesterday.

He was wounded and taken prisoner during Sherman's advance from Chattanooga.  After remaining at Andersonville, Ga. as a prisoner of war for about four months, he was exchanged and reached Annapolis Md. a little over a week ago.
