Many of the missing are supposed to be killed.The beautiful banner presented us by the ladies of Indianapolis but a few weeks since, is torn to pieces w ith shot and shell, but you may tell them that in the storming of the enemy’s w orks on the 12th iust j by Hancock's corps it was the first to wave over the captured fortifications.— 'The loss in other Indiana regiments has j also been heavy. Wc had the pleasure of fighting side* by side with the gallant 14 th, once or twice so far. 'They fight as Uoosiers always do.The battle still continues, and we cannot as yet see the end. It would | see in that the enemy cannot much longer | hold out against such terrible blows as he has received lately. God grant that with all this terrible bloodshed, suffering j and death, may come salvation and peace i to our beloved country.Sincerely vonr friend,Gkoge W. Mikee.Lieut. Col. Com. 20th Ind. V. V.
