Our Killed and Wounded at
the Battle of Fair Oaks!

The details of this terrible and fierce-
ly fought battle, are slowly coming to
hand. The loss in killed, wounded and
missing is a fearful one, and especially
have the regiments from Western Penn-
sylvania suffered severely. We give be-
low as carefully prepared list of the cas-
ualities in the 61st and 105th Regiment
as it is possible for us to obtain at this
time. It is doubltess incorrect in many
particulars.

For much of the above information we
are indebted to Hon. J. K. Thompson,
who has just returned home from a visit
to Philadelphia. He visited the Hospi-
tals and reports the wounded as doing
well. We will only add that the parents
and friends of the deceased and wound-
ed soldiers have the sympathies of the en-
tire community.
