Our Killed and Wounded at the Battle of Fair Oaks!

The details of this terrible and fiercely 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 Pennsylvania suffered severely. We give below as carefully prepared list of the casualities in the 61st and 105th Regiment as it is possible for us to obtain at this time. It is doubltess incorrect in many particulars.

105TH REGIMENT Col. McKnight escaped with a slight bruise. Lieut-Col. Corbett is reported killed. Company Officers.--Killed--Captain Dowling, of Jefferson Co,; Lieut. Carig, Jefferson Co.; Lieut. Cumcuminsky.-Wounded--Capt. Duff, of Jefferson Co.; Capt. Kirk, of Indiana County.; Capt. Thompson of Jefferson Co.; Capt. Greenawalt, of Westmoreland; Lieutenant Markle, Westmoreland, and Lieut.

We will only add that the parents and friends of the deceased and wounded soldiers have the sympathies of the entire community. 4
