in Michigan regiments, so far as yet known. KILLED Col. Lumbard, 4th infantry Sergt. Kisner, 4h infantry WOUNDED Col. Henry A. Morrow, 24th Infantry, in leg Capt. Shuts, 5tyh Infantry Lieut. J. Knight, 3d Infantry Lieut. Cheeseman, 24th Infantry Lieut. Henry Mitchell 24th Infantry A. McRowe, 7th Infantry H. Steffy, 18th Infantry David Howd, Co.

Sleffy, 15th Infantry John Houte, 5th Infantry 11/10/1863 The Secretary of War directs that for each battle in which every officer,
non-commissioned officer, and private of the Invalid Corps may have been engaged
and borne an honorable part, a scarlet braid, one sixth of an inch wide, may be
worn on the right arm, with a space of one sixth of an inch between each braid.
This will become an honorable badge, showing the service the officer or soldier
has performed, and will be as highly prized by the brave wearers as the ribbons
and crosses so proudly worn by the veterans of European armies. Capt. M. A. Cochrane, of the 16th U.. Infantry, who, it will be
remembered, passed several months in our city, recruiting for that command is
now with many of his comrades, in the rebel prison, at Richmond, a. The apt. was
taken at the battle of Chickamauga. We regret to learn that Lt. Edwin Baxter, of the Engineers and Mechanic
Regiment, now at home on furlough, is confined to his bed with chronic diarrhea. A profound feeling of horror and resentment has been excited by the discovery
that resurrectionists have disturbed the dead soldiers in the military
graveyard, near the Soldiers’ Home, at Washington. Many have been disinterred
and removed. Their empty coffins lie in the adjoining woods.
