Wounded

By a letter received from Washington by L. Chamberlin, Esq., we hear that Lucien Laselle, son of Judge Lasselle, formerly of the city, was severely wounded at Coal [sic] Harbor on the 3rd of June. A ball passed through his right leg above the knee while being borne off the field a piece of shell inflicted a severe wound on the same leg below the knee. He was taken to Washington on the 9th—before which time his wound had not been dressed. The wounds were received in a charge on the rebel breastworks. Only 7 of the Company are left for duty. Sergeant Lasselle enlisted in the California regiment, and was in every battle in which the army of the Potomac has been engaged since the first battle of Bull Run. At Antietam he had a pipe shot out of his mouth—in another battle a ramrod was shot out of his hand—but he was never hit until the battle at Coal Harbor. He is among the bravest of the brave.

Col. R. D’Hart was wounded at Marietta, Georgia, last week—wound reported severe.

Capt. Dyer B. McConnell, from this city, in the 9th Indiana, is reported as having been recently wounded in Georgia.
