The New York Tribune makes the follow
ing mention of some of the Ohio officers who
arrived on the Cosmopolitan =
Colonel. A. C. VOris, of the 9th Ohio,
was wounded in the side. He led his regi-
ment on the night of the 18th. The colors of
his regiment we're planted on the parapet Of
Fort Wagner, and remained there until they
we're cut into ribbons, and when the COM
mand came to retire the color-bearer, Ser
geant Mcdonald, though wounded three
times, brought the eolors safely back. He is
not expected to live. Colonel VoFis took into
action 800 men and officers, and l40 were
killed, wounded and missing. The Colonel
craWled under the lee Of the beach as well az
he could, making for our rife pits, in one Of
which he remained until assistance reached
him.
Captain n. ]. Crane, of the 67th Ohio,
reached the parapet on Fort Wagner, where
he was shot. When wounded, he rolled down
into the moat, and remained there three
quarters Of an hour. He finally craWled
about half mile, when two Of his men as
sisted him to his tent Major Butler, of the
same regiment, now in command, did not re-
ceive a scratch, although he was one Of the
lost to leave the fort. Lieutenant Colone
Commager rode his horse within a short dis.
tance of the fort. To the first wound he re-
ceived he paid no attention, but rode on
The second wound was a dangerous one, AND
his horse seeming to bear a charmed life
bore him back to his quarters.
"Lieutenant Colonel Steele was reclining
on a seat near Colonel Ghatfeld. He is 6
tall, nervous man, and seemed pleased tC
have his regiment noticed in these columns
He wished to know why our correspondents
never mentioned the regiment to which he
had the honor to belong. His men had done
good service, were brave and patriotic, bu
their deeds had never been recognized il
their favorite psper, the Tribune. Lieuten-
ant Colonel Steele had command of the 62d
Ohio at the time Of the charge on Fort Wag
ner He was in the moat with three hundred
of his men. Six Of his officers were killed
and more than half Of his men were killed
wounded, or missing. His regiment was the
last that charged the ditch. Major Edwards
was wounded and taken prisoner"
