Loss of Richmond Soldiers.
--The following is a list of the killed and wounded in company A, 15th Virginia.
This company was formed on Union Hill:
Killed: Privates Geo. W. Brooke, Charles Kepler.
Wounded: 1st Serg't C. C. Cherry, Privates Geo. W. Otey, Wm. D. Brown, James Fox, R. A. Day, W. R. Atkinson, J. B. Garthright, P. H. Hall, J. W. Herbert, T. B. Jackson, C. T. Lockett, Wm. H. Manning, J. T. Schwalmeyer, R. R. Smith, and T. P. Gill.
None of the field officers were present at the engagement and the command devolved on the senior Captain, who led the men gallantly, but was soon killed.
The next ranking Captain being also absent, Rev. E. J. Willis, formerly pastor of the Leigh Street Baptist Church, and Captain of company A, took command as next in rank.
He encouraged the men by every possible means, and exerted himself to the utmost to make the victory sure for us. At one time, seeing that the flag-bearer had been shot down, he seized the colors himself.
