Wednesday, Sept. 3, 1862.
The lists of killed are coming in — Wm. Baylor, Col of
the 5th Reg., Neo. Garber, Capt in the 52nd, were slain
on Saturday. Lamentation and mourning! It is said to- day
that Jack Doyle was not killed, as reported yesterday, but
badly wounded. I doubt if the enemy was routed as
completely as reported.
