mans regiment, the 18th Illinois, comprising
in its ranks one company from this city, states
that the company Is actually without stand
Of eolors, either rcgimental or National. Col
Wyuaan has written upon this subject to the
Union Defence Committee Of this city, to the

still remains without colors. AS this regi-
nent Is much older than many others and
llas seen hard service, 1t is no more than sim
pie equity that they should have 4 set Of col
ors When 1t is remembered that one Of tho
companies is from this city, this neglect ap-
peals with double force to us Who will move
