Reports of Major Cyrus J. McCole, Seventy-fifth Indiana Infantry.

HDQRS. SEVENTY-FIFTH REGIMENT INDIANA VOLS.,
Near Atlanta, Ga., August 17, 1864.

I have the honor to make the following report of this regiment and its doings during the time mentioned in circular:

As this regiment has been engaged in no special or detached service, and has at all times acted under the immediate observation of the brigade commander, and only in concert with the brigade, I deem it unnecessary here to mention such facts as must be equally within your knowledge, and are not relative to this regiment alone. The casualties in this regiment during the time are--Lieutenant Colonel William O'Brien, severely wounded in hand; enlisted men killed, 6; enlisted men wounded, 19.

Very respectfully, &c.,

C. J. McCOLE,

Major, Commanding Regiment.

Captain S. FORTNER,

A. A. A. G., 2nd Brigadier, 3rd Div., 14th Army Corps.
