From The 15th

LIEUTENANT LANSTRUM of Company B, 15th Regiment, writes that Adjutant Pomutz of the 15th, was shot in the leg, and thrown from his horse. He states that Lieutenants Hamilton, Fiske and Penniman were killed. We think that Lieutenant FISKE was from Indianola, Warren county. We are not certain, but the impression is pretty strong with us that our old friend Dr. FISKE is the officer to whom Lieutenant LANSTRUM alludes. The following additional names are mentioned among the wounded – Reed Good, Daneson and King.
