The following correspondence he tween Mr. Francis F. Fisher nntl j Terence to j the Fifty* , before At- ( laula on the memorable 22d of| Grand Clearuigont Sale! July, 1864, will explain itself: Cbicaoo, Sept. 18, 1884. Rt. Rev. Jlithop Jleckvriih, Atlanta, 1 Georgia i i Dkab Kir—Will you kindly par-1 don the undersigned for bespeak- j Ing your good offices in behalf of I one of Ihe Illinois regiments in the “late unpleasantness,”provided, of i course, you can aid us without too great a tax upon your valuable time. Allow me briefly to state the circumstances: On July 22d, 1864, the Fifty-fifth Regiment of Illinois Volunteer Infantry lost their colors (regimental and nation al),. before Atlanta, Oa., in the charge made by Ucneral Hood. We have never been able to ascer tain what regiment captured the . colon, nor where the colors now j are, if, Indeed, they aro still in ex-j istencc. We have liecn inlonned that they are in Atlanta, but have no means of knowing. The Fifty'-' fifth Regiment propose to hold a reunion on October SOth and 31st, next, (the first since the war), at Canton, III., and wc thought if the colors could lie restored to us on that occasion, it would be a very happy xflair. Now it Iias occurred | to us that you woidd lie in a posi tion to learn something in regard 1 lo the whcreahuuls of the lost col ors. If not in Atlanta, you may be able to give ns some idea where ! tbo.v are likely to lie kept. I have j no doubt but that with the restored j happy relations between the North and South there would he no diffi culty in getting the colors back, provided they can be found. We | would be grateful for any sorvioc you can render us in lliisdircction, j and esteeui it ns a great favor, if! consistent with your oilier dutic-s,: to make some inquiries in our be half among (hose who would be likely to know about it.
