The One Hundredth Ohio Volunteer Infantry

Sandusky county contributed acompany to the One Hundredth regiment of Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and to record the services performed by these men it is necessary to give some account of the services of the entire regiment.

It was organized at Toledo in July and August, 1862, and was mustered into service in September of that year, and moved to Cincinnati on the 8th of the same month for the purpose of defending that city. The next day it was put in position on Covington Heights, near Fort Mitchell. It marched thence for Lexington, Kentucky, on the 8th of October, where it remained for drill and took a thorough course of instruction in the science of war until the 1st of December of that year. It then moved to Danville, and on the 3d of January, 1863, moved to Frankfort. About the last of February, 1863, the regiment "marched to Lexington to intercept a rebel raid, and from that point it marched to Crab Orchard, Mount Vernon, Somerset, and to various other points where the presence of the enemy seemed to require. On the 13th day of August, 1863, it went into camp at Danville, Kentucky, to be ready for a march into East Tennessee. Upon reaching Knoxville a portion of the regiment was sent up to the Virginia State line to guard the railroad. The portion so detached, being two hundred and forty in number, were captured by the enemy on the 4th of September, and the men sent to Richmond, Virginia. This regiment participated in the defence of Knoxville, and was on active duty during its stay in East Tennessee. In the spring of 1864 the regiment marched in the Twentythird Army Corps to join General Sherman, then at Trumbull Hill, in Georgia. Thence it moved on in the Atlanta campaign, and was present at almost every battle, from Rocky Face Ridge to Atlanta.

On the 6th of August, 1864, it was engaged in an assault on the rebel works in front of Atlanta, with a loss of one hundred and three men out of three hundred | taken into the fight. Thirty-six men were i killed on the field, and eight more died I from wounds within the next thirty days. The colonel was disabled for life. After the evacuation of Atlanta the regiment joined in the pursuit of Hood, and participated in the battles of Franklin and Nashville. With the Twenty-third Army Corps it then went to Wilmington, North Carolina, and was there actively engaged. Then it marched into the interior and from Goldsborough to Raleigh with Sherman's army. Next it moved to Greensborough, and from there to Cleveland, Ohio, where it was mustered out of the ! service on the 1st day of July, 1865, having j served two years and ten months from the j time it was mustered into the service.

Losses Of The One Hundredth

This regiment lost during its term of ] service : Sixty-five men killed in action, one hundred and forty-two wounded; twenty- | seven died of wounds; one hundred and i eight died of disease; three hundred and j twenty-five were captured by the enemy,

I and eighty-five died in rebel prisons. It ' gloriously participated in the battles of | Lenoir Station, Knoxville, Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, Dallas, Etowah Creek,

Town Creek, and Wilmington. At the organization of the regiment the following were the officers: John C. Groom, colonel; Patrick Slevin, lieutenant-colonel; Edwin L. Hayes, major; George A. Collamore, surgeon; Henry McHenry, assistant surgeon.

Field And Staff Officers

The following will show the men of this regiment from Sandusky, and a history of the services they performed with the regiment during the war for the suppression of the Southern Rebellion. The sketch is jirepared from information furnished \ by Captain J. V. Beery, and the diary of Corporal Joseph Schwartz, kept by him while in the service, and also from information given by private Robert Long, of company A, of the regiment, and was | compiled by H. Everett, esq., as a part of : his intended history of Sandusky county, in the year 1876, and published by him in ; February, 1877.

Sandusky county furnished one full ! comjDany, A, for this regiment, and also a major part of company G. Company A, usually designated as Captain Beery's company - because its enlistment and or- ganization were accomplished chiefly by his zealous labors - was organized at Fremont, August 11, 1862, mustered into the United States service at Camp Toledo, Ohio, September 5, 1862, and moved thence to the front with the regiment, September n, 1862.

For the organization of company G, of the One Hundred and Eleventh regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry, this county furnished the following named officers and privates :

Corporal Joseph Schwarts *and Private Robert Long, both of this city, gave the following incidents relative to this regiment and the men from this county, which are worthy of mention :

In the winter of 1863 and 1864, while retreating from Strawberry Plains, Ten- 1 nessee, and at the siege of Knoxville, the regiment was often on short rations.

consisted of, one day, half a pint of corn meal; one day about two pounds of fresh pork; another day half a pint of corn meal again, and another day about half a pint of wheat - and on duty all the time, and part of the time on the march. These supplies were obtained by foraging, supplies from Union sources being cut off by the position of the enemy.

Charles T. Flowers, of Green Creek, was wounded by bushwhackers on the train to Chattanooga, where he was sent for injuries received at Burnt Hickory.

Charles Smith (Scott), wounded at Burnt Hickory May 27, 1864. Joseph Schwartz also wounded at the same place, and John Scanlon and John Tarver, wounded near Dallas, Georgia, June 3, 1864. Scanlon lost the use of his arm.

James Jackson (Ballville), killed at Franklin. Charles Baker (Clyde), wounded at Franklin, December, 1864. David Plants (Scott), wounded shortly before the battle of Franklin.

Of this company, A, the following died in the service: Franklin Lantz, at Bowling Green, Kentucky; David Carpenter and J. C. Carpenter, of Washington township; Joseph Stevenson and James Current, of Riley.

This regiment was organized in the month of August, 1862, and was mustered into the service on the 5th and 6th of September. It was a Northwestern Ohio regiment, having been raised in Sandusky, Lucas, Wood, Fulton. Williams, and Defiance

The regiment remained in front of Covington until the 18th of September, when, in company with four regiments and a battery, it made a reconnoissance to Crittenden, Kentucky. After driving out the cavalry of Kirby Smith from that place, the regiment returned to Covington. It remained at Covington until the 25th, when it took transports for Louisville, where it was assigned to General Buell's army, being in the Thirty-eighth Brigade, Twelfth Division, under command of General Dumont. The regiment moved on Shelbyville October 3. On the 8th of October it took the advance in the movement on Frankfort, where a slight skirmish took place. It moved on Lawrenceburg October 11, and camped at Crab Orchard, where it joined with General Buell's whole army. After General Bragg's army had escaped through Cumberland Gap the One Hundred and Eleventh moved by rapid marches to Bowling Green, Kentucky, where it remained garrisoning forts and guarding the railroad from that place to Nashville. On the 29th of May, 1863, the regiment was ordered to Glasgow, Kentucky. At this place the One Hundred and Eleventh was assigned to the Second Brigade, Second Division, Twenty-third Army Corps, and remained in this brigade, division, and corps until mustered out of the service. From Glasgow it took part in the movement on Scottsville and Tompkinsville.

About this time John Morgan's cavalry made a raid into Indiana and Ohio. The regiment took part in the pursuit. On the 4th of July, 1863, it marched from Tompkinsville to Glasgow, a distance of thirty-two miles, in one day, carrying guns, equipments, and forty rounds of ammunition. On the 6th of j uly the regiment marched to Mumfordsville, and remaining three days, it took the cars for Louisville. Morgan having crossed the Ohio River, the One Hundred and Eleventh was ordered to New Albany, Indiana. It then marched to Jeffersonville and took transports to Cincinnati .

On an island ten miles above Louisville the regiment was landed, and a detachment of Morgan's command was captured. It arrived at Cincinnati on the 13th. From this city it proceeded to Portsmouth, arriving at that place on the 18th.

After the capture of Morgan the regiment returned to Kentucky. Arriving at Lebanon, Kentucky, it marched to New Market, where the Second division, Twenty-third Army Corps, rendezvoused preparatory to the march to East Tennessee. On the 19th of August this movement commenced. The command arrived at Jamestown, Tennessee, on the Cumberland Mountains, eighty-five miles distant from Knoxville, on the 26th. From this point the command moved, by rapid marches, through Yarman's Gap, and arrived on the 30th of August at Montgomery. On the 2d of September it forded the Big Emery River, and arrived at Loudon, Tennessee, on the Tennessee River, on the 4th. The regiment remained at Loudon until November 14, and took part in the movement north of New Market to check the rebel advance from Virginia. It also took part in several forced marches, scouts, and skirmishes along the Tennessee and Holston Rivers.

, and considerable skirmishing was kept up between the two armies. On the 14th of October the command marched to Lenoir, but meeting reinforcements here a counter-march was ordered, and the Seeond brigade was ordered to march to Huff's Ferry, three miles below Loudon, and prevent the crossing of General Longstreet's troops. Owing to the almost impassable condition of the roads it was nearly dark before arriving at the ferry. On a high bluff, about half a mile from the river, a brigade of rebels was encountered. The Second brigade was immediately formed in single line and ordered to charge. The charge was successful. In it the One Hundred and Eleventh only lost a few wounded, as it was on the right flank of the brigade, and partly under cover of dense woods. The brigade stood to arms all night in the pelting rain, without food or shelter. At daylight the entire division fell back, and the One Hundred and Eleventh covered the retreat. At Loudon Creek a brisk skirmish took place between the regiment and the Sixth South Carolina Sharp-shooters, composing General Longstreet's advance. The stand was made to enable Henshaw's Illinois battery to get its caissons up a hill above the creek. In this engagement the One Hundred and Eleventh lost four killed and twelve wounded. After this skirmish the command marched rapidly to Lenoir unmolested, On this night all camp and garrison equipage and transportation were destroyed, and on the morning of the 16th, at 3 A. M., it moved out for Knoxville, Tennessee.

At daylight on this morning Lieutenant O. P. Norris and fifty-two men of company B of the regiment were captured by the rebels while on picket. Of these fifty-two stalwart men thirty-six died of starvation and exposure at Andersonville prison. Campbell's Station was selected by General Burnside as the point at which to give battle to General Longstreet. In this engagement the One Hundred and Eleventh occupied the front line, directly in front of two batteries of rebel artillery, and was for six hours exposed to the shells of the enemy's concentrated fire. The loss in killed and wounded was only eight, as the enemy used percussion shells, which mostly fell in the rear of the first line. The regiment marched with the command into Knoxville, a distance of six miles, having been three nights without sleep, food, or rest, and having participated in three separate engagements. It passed through tuo siege of Knoxville, occupying the fort on College Hill, and lost six men killed and wounded. After General Longstreet's retreat it took part in the skirmishes at Blain's Cross Roads, Danville, and Strawberry Plains, and occupied an outpost six miles in front of the city when General Schofield fell back the second time on Knoxville.

It protected the crossing of the Second division at 1 Strawberry Plains on the 21st of January, 1864, los- ! ing one man killed. On the 9th of February, Gen- ! eral Schofield arrived at Knoxville and took command of the department. On the 24th of February the Second division marched to Strawberry Plains ; on the 27th crossed the Holston River, and marching some distance, counter-marched at night as far back as Mossy Creek. On the 14th of March the regiment moved to Morristown, East Tennessee. On the following day it was on the picket-line, and had a brisk skirmish with the rebel cavalry. The One Hundred and Eleventh was moved back to Mossy Creek, where it remained until the 26th of April, when it marched to Charleston, on the Hiwassee River, a distance of one hundred miles. This it accomplished in four days, arriving at Charleston on the 30th. From this point it marched to Red Clay, j Georgia, arriving on the 6th of May. At this place I the army of the Ohio united with the left wing of General Sherman's army to participate in the Atlanta campaign. It marched to Tunnel Hill on the 7th of I May, and on the following day skirmished into a position in front of Buzzard's Roost. On the 9th, in j the advance on Rocky Face Mountain, the regiment j was assigned the front line of the skirmishers, and I during an advance of three-quarters of a mile lost nine men killed and wounded.

On the 12th of May the One Hundred and 1 Eleventh marched through Snake Creek Gap, and j arrived in front of Resaca on the evening of the 15th. The brigade made a charge on the enemy's works on the following day. Being unsupported by artillery, the charge was unsuccessful, and the loss heavy. The One Hundred and Eleventh had but seven companies engaged, three companies being in the rear guarding transportation. Out of the number engaged, seven men were killed and thirty wounded. The regiment took part in the second day's fight at Resaca, but being in the supporting column, it sustained no losses. After an unsuccessful assault at midnight upon the National lines, the rebels evacuated. On the 16th of May the regiment participated in the pursuit; had a skirmish with the rebel cavalry the 20th, and captured six prisoners. On the 27th a 1 brigade of rebels made an advance on the National lines. The One Hundred and Eleventh was ordered out on the double-quick, made a charge, and broke the rebel lines. In this engagement the regiment lost fifteen men killed and wounded.

the battles at Pine Mountain, Lost Mountain, Dallas, on the Chattahoochie River near Nicojack Creek, Decatur, Peachtree Creek, and in the seige of Atlanta, and the skirmishes at Rough-and-Ready, Lovejoy's Station, and Utoy Creek. It started on the Atlanta campaign with three hundred and eighty men, and of this number lost, in killed and wounded, two hundred and twelve. On the 8th of September the regiment went into camp at Decatur, Georgia, and remained until the morning of the 4th of October, when the movement against General Hood's forces commenced. During the stay at Decatur the regiment made a reconnoissance to Stone Mountain, where it encountered rebel cavalry, and lost a few of its men. The One Hundred and Eleventh marched rapidly to Allatoona Pass, and to within eighteen miles of Chattanooga, where the corps was ordered into Alabama in pursuit of General Hood's army. It marched south as far as Cedar Bluffs, on the Coosa River, where, in a skirmish with rebel cavalry, one officer and three men of the One Hundred and Eleventh were captured on picket. From this point the regiment marched to Rome, Georgia, where a brisk skirmish took place. From thence it moved to Resaca, where it arrived on the 1st of November, 1864.

At Resaca the regiment took the cars and was moved to Johnsonville, on the Tennessee River, eighty-five miles west of Nashville, to protect that place against a rebel raid. It remained at Johnsonville until the 20th of November, when it was again moved by rail to Columbia, Tennessee, to assist in checking General Hood's advance. It participated in the skirmishes at Columbia, and was detailed to remain in the rear to guard the fords of Duck River while General Thomas' army fell back on Franklin. The regiment guarded a wagon train to Franklin, and was twice attacked. Each time it repulsed the enemy. The regiment at night marched by the outpost of General Hood's army in bringing up the rear. It arrived at Franklin on the morning of the 30th of November, and was immediately assigned to the front line of works, on the left flank of the Second Division, Twenty-third Army Corps, to the right of the Franklin turnpike. In the fight of that day the regiment, out of one hundred and eighty men engaged, lost twenty-two men killed on the field and forty wounded. Many were killed by rebel bayonets. The contest was so close that once the flag of the regiment was snatched from the hands of the color sergeant, but the bold rebel was instantly killed. The troops on the immediate left of the One Hundred and Eleventh fell back during the charge, and the rebels, holding this part of the line for an hour, poured an enfilading fire along the line of the whole brigade. Owing to the large losses of officers in this and previous engagements, a detail from other regiments was necessary to command the companies.

Hundred and Eleventh marched back to Nashville, where it was assigned a position on the line of defenses on the left. It was severely engaged during both days of fighting in front of Nashville. In a charge on the second day it captured three rebel battle flags and a large number of prisoners. The loss was seven killed and fifteen wounded. The regiment took part in the pursuit after General Hood. It was marched to Clifton, Tennessee, where, on the 17th of January, 1865. it took transports to make the cam. paign of North Carolina. It passed through Cincinnati January 23, and arrived at Washington, District of Columbia, on the 31st. From Alexandria the regiment took an ocean steamer for Fort Fisher, where it joined the army under General Terry, and took an active part in the capture of Fort Anderson, and in the skirmishes at Moseby Hall and Goldsborough. After the surrender of General Johnston the regiment was moved to Salisbury, North Carolina, where it remained on garrison duty until ordered home for muster out. It arrived at Cleveland on the 5th of July, 1865, and was mustered out on the 12th.

The One Hundred and Eleventh re-enlisted as veterans in February, 1864, in East Tennessee; but, owing to the demand for troops in the field, the veteran furlough could not be granted. Again (in October, 1864), after the Atlanta campaign, more than two-thirds of the regiment re-enlisted as veterans; but, after General Hood's campaign to the rear, the order to furlough it was revoked. The One Hundred and Eleventh numbered one thousand and fifty men when it entered the service, and received eighty-five recruits. Of these men tw'o hundred and thirty-four were discharged for disability, disease, and wounds; two hundred died of disease contracted while in the service; two hundred and fifty-two were killed in battle or died of w'ounds, and four hundred and one were mustered out.

The regiment was on a steamer being transported from Alexandria to Fort Fisher^ January or February, 1865. The boat, in a violent storm lay rolling in the troughs of the immense waves, w hile rounding Cape Hatteras. The stoves in the upper cabin upset and fired the boat. Captain McCord, while others left the cabin, remained and with great coolness and activity collected blankets, overcoats, and other woollen garments at hand, and by great efforts smothered the fire and saved the boat. "But for this act," says company Commissary Robert Long, "the boat would have perished." dred and Eleventh was complimented for gallant conduct, in holding the right of the turnpike, while other regiments gave way. Here the One Hundred and Eleventh saved the important position by its firmness and pluck.

The One Hundred And Sixty-Ninth

That we may more fully understand the | history of the One Hundred and Sixty- j ninth Ohio National Guard, it will be | necessary to commence this narrative j with the formation of the Fiftieth Ohio ! Volunteer Infantry, from which the One | Hundred and Sixty-ninth was formed. The Fiftieth Ohio Volunteer Infantry was recruited in Sandusky county in the fall of 1863, under the militia law of Ohio, the object being the protection of the borders of the State from raids and invasion. The regiment held its first meeting at the court-house in Fremont, to elect officers and transact other business. Nathaniel Haynes was elected colonel ; C. G. Sanford, lieutenant-colonel; Jacob Fickes, major; W. B. Dimick, quartermaster; J. L. Greene, adjutant ; I. H. Burgoon, sergeant major; Peter Beaugrand, surgeon; S. B. Taylor, assistant surgeon; Wesley Vandercook, hospital steward; Theodore England, quartermaster-sergeant; Ferguson Greene, commissary sergeant.

A general meeting for parade and drill was held in Fremont the same fall. The regiment was ordered into camp at Camp Lucas, Toledo, Ohio. Transportation was obtained by railroad to Toledo, where they arrived on the 18th of September, 1863, remaining about one week.

Early in the spring of 1864 the regiment was called into service by John Brough, Governor of Ohio, to serve for the term of one hundred days unless sooner discharged. The time named in the proclamation was the 2d of May, 1864, and so anxious were the boys to be on hand at the appointed time that by 12 o'clock noon, of the 2d, every company was reported for duty. They were camped on the old fair ground, where they remained until the 7th of the month, drilling during the day, and at night they were quartered in the court-house, engine-house and the different halls of the town. Marching orders were received on the evening of the 6th, and at 10 o'clock on the morning of the 7th the regiment was in line ready to start for the depot, which they did at 1 1 o'clock, and after waiting, finally started at 2:30 p. m., - Lieutenant- Colonel C. G. Sanford commanding, the colonel having been left behind on account of an accident, which befell him while riding down Front street. The destination was Sandusky City. Further than that no one knew. This suited the boys so far as rations were taken into account, they having foraged there during the fall of 1863. ' Most of them, however, were anxious to get into active service, and see more of the i country. They arrived at Sandusky at 5 1 p. m., via Clyde. The several companies were distributed in various places about j the town, A and F in the court-house, D and I in Massey's block, C and H in the armory, K and G in council-room, B in a ! lumber-room. Company E did not go j with the command. It was disbanded at Fremont on account of being composed 1 mostly of minors. May 8 was Sunday, and the boys put in the time going to church and seeing the sights. The citizens provided them with supper which was received and relished with thanks. As no particular provision had been made for ! rations the men were getting short, and j stood very much in need of a warm meal, j On Monday, May 9, the Eighty-second \ battalion, from Van Wert, Ohio, the j Seventy-first battalion from Ottawa, and the Ninety-fifth from Defiance were consoli- I dated with it, making the regiment over j one thousand strong. It received orders ' to report at Camp Taylor, Cleveland, Ohio, but on account of not getting trans- j portation did not get started until 10 a. m., on the nth. The regiment was mustered into the service of the United States on May 15 and 16, and on the 17th the organization was completed. The battalion from Van Wert was thrown out, and four companies from Wayne county assigned in their stead. These four companies were under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel I. Robinson, from Wooster, who, for some reason not known to the writer, was relieved, and J. H. Carr, his adjutant, placed in charge by the consolidation at Cleveland. Companies I and K were disbanded, their officers either given command in other companies, or sent home. The men were distributed and attached to other companies. Lieutenant-Colonel Sanford was also relieved, which the men regretted very much, as he was a genial gentleman, and they had become very much attached to him. After so many changes the newly fledged regiment was named the One Hundred and Sixty-ninth Ohio National Guard, and as finally organized, was officered as follows: -

On the 1 8th marching orders were received, but owing to a lack of arms sufficient to equip the whole regiment they were detained and did not get away from camp until 2 p. m., of the 19th. They left the Cleveland depot at 5 p. m., via Cleveland & Pittsburg and Pennsylvania roads to Harrisburg, and from there via Northern Central to Washington, where they arrived at 12 o'clock Saturday night, May 21. They were marched to some old army barracks near the depot, where they were quartered until 2 p. m., Sunday, when they took up their line of march down Pennsylvania avenue and over Long Bridge to Arlington Heights, in Virginia, but owing to some misunderstanding they were marched over Aqueduct Bridge to Georgetown, then up the Potomac on the Maryland side, several miles to Chain Bridge, where they recrossed to the Virginia side to Fort Ethan Allen, the place which was designated as the home of the regiment for the coming three months. They arrived at the fort at 10 o'clock Sunday night, and turned into quarters on the bare ground in an open lot, after a march of some dozen or more miles - pretty good for the first march.

In justice to the men it ought to be mentioned here that the regiment was applauded and congratulated frequently while in transit, as being one of the most orderly and civil which had passed through. On inspecting the location it was found that they were posted in one of the largest and strongest among the forts on the line of defence around Washington.

The ordnance consisted of forty cannon, a dozen or more mortars, some large enough to throw a twenty-two inch shell, a large store of small arms, magazines filled with ammunition, and a garrison of two thousand men, seated on the highest hill which could be found in the vicinity, with a commanding view of the surrounding country. From the top of the parapet encircling the fort could be counted a dozen or more flags floating in the breeze, from the top of so many flag staffs, showing the location of so many forts, and each in supporting distance from the other. A nice brook of clear water on either side wended its way down among the ravines toward the Potomac, with innumerable springs in the valleys, several in close proximity to the fort. The 23d, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, and 29th, were spent in getting settled and putting things to rights in the fort and on and about the parade ground.

May 30th Grant Holcomb, a member of company G, died. This was the first death in the regiment. He was taken sick while in Washington, but bore up until his arrival here, when he was sent to the hospital and died, having been sick one week. His remains were forwarded to his home near Fremont, Ohio. The writer cannot refrain from inserting a few lines written by one of his comrades on I the occasion.

From the ist day of June until the ioth, the time was pissed in the usual routine of camp life. About this time the regiment began the practice of artillery drill on the guns and mortars in the fort, in which they became proficient in a very short time, so much so that the regiment was complimented very highly by General DeRussey, the commandant of this department, and, by him, placed on record as the best drilled regiment on the line of the defenses. The writer will relate an exercise of drilling which he witnessed one afternoon by a squad of Fremont boys among which he remembers our genial friend Captain Charley Thompson, and Lieutenant Baldwin. They fired six shots from a thirty-two pound Parrot, at a target stationed 'at a distance from the fort oi one and one-third miles, cutting off the tree against which the target rested, at the second fire, and dropping four balls out of six within twenty feet of the target. This would be hard to beat by the oldest and most experienced of gunners.

On the morning of the nth the boys were called out in double-quick, in anticipation of a raid from rebel cavalry, but luckily for the cavalry they did not put in an appearance. One hundred men were detailed daily to work on the bomb proofs of the fort, and the rifle pits surrounding it. This was not very desirable for the boys, as the sun's rays would dart down on them day after day, making them long for the cool, shady breeze of some friendly and familiar shade tree in the corner of the hay or wheat field at home. This work continued through the months of

| June, July, and August; and, with the ! early and unseasonable hour at which the | regiment was called out (usually at 3 a. m.), and the miasms arising from the Potomac,

| Jacob Schuster, of company H, whose re- ' mains were sent honi£ to Green Spring, j Ohio. On the 30th they were mustered j for pay, which the boys were very anxious ! to get, but did not have the pleasure of 1 seeing until after being mustered out at ! Cleveland, Ohio, several months later.

This being the glorious Fourth of July, it was decided to celebrate it in some appropriate manner, as they had been taught from childhood, even if no better way than to steal away and go swimming in some creek or stream running by the homestead.

| companies A, C, D, E, F and K marched down to Colonel Lee's headquarters, a distance of three or four miles, where several other Ohio regiments joined in an old-fashioned celebration, consisting of 1 music, speeches, etc., after which the boys | tramped back over a dusty road, hungry and tired, feeling that the fewer celebrations the better humor they could be kept in, and the better they could enjoy them.

posts that the enemy were concentrating their forces near Brownsville, which turned out, as do a great many reports in the army, as unreliable. However, it had a tendency to show the efficiency of the men, and the promptness with which they could be got ready for action in case of necessity. Four companies were quickly detached from our command and dispatched to Fort Marcy to strengthen that garrison and give them a helping hand in case of an assault. But happily once more for the rebels, they did not come.

On the night of July nth and morning of the nth, the long looked for enemy made its appearance on the Maryland side of the Potomac, and in front of forts Stevens and Slocum. Early on the 12th the One Hundred and Thirty-fourth regiment, from the garrison, was dispatched across the river to strengthen those forts, while the One Hundred and Sixty-ninth was left to take care of matters at home, i and as no enemy ventured in reach of their guns, all they had to do was to keep quiet and look on.

On the morning of the 18th, at 1 o'clock, Jerome Seibert died. He was a very worthy young man. His father came and took his remains home, to be buried near West Fremont. Here the writer wishes to introduce, by way of quotation, a beautiful poem written to his memory by a lady friend:

July 20 John Stahl died. He had been detailed to go to Arlington with a corps of engineers, for the purpose of surveying an addition to the National Cemetery, which now contains eighteen thousand Union dead, and covers the famous Arlington property, which was General Lee's home before the rebellion, and an inheritance from the Washington family. While there he was taken sick, and returned to the fort and hospital to die.

1 The writer met him on the afternoon of the 1 8th, on his return, at the captain's | headquarters near the parade ground, and again at the hospital on the morning of the 19th. He conversed pleasantly and freely ! of home and friends, not thinking that his | sickness was anything serious. But alas! on the morning of the 20th he was reported with the dead.

that of Stahl's. The writer met him only I a few hours before he passed away. His | voice was clear, and his grip strong, and, j in ar^wer to the question, " How do you | do this morning, Sergeant?" he said : "I | am all right this morning, Sergeant-Major." The reader can imagine the writer's sur- j prise when, within a few short hours, he, j too, was reported among the dead.

From this time forward, until we were relieved and ordered from the fort, on the 2 1 st day of August, the death list increased daily. Death seemed to lurk in every part of the fort and barracks, and none knew what the morrow would bring forth. On some days scarcely a well man could be found in the regiment. It was said at the time that only one man of the one thousand strong and able-bodied men i could say, on his departure, that he had j not been sick a single day while at the fort. : Owing to an attack of malarial fever at j this time, the memoranda of the writer j became lost, and we are, therefore, unable j to give the names and date of death of the remainder of the forty-three men who died, and were daily carried by the tent door, to be sent to their several homes, where many sad hearts were waiting to receive them. Among the many sad deaths which occurred was that of John Downey, a clever, good-natured fellow, a member of company H, whose home was near Fremont. On the departure of the regiment, when the sick were taken from their respective hospitals, preparatory to starting for home, he was accidentally left behind, at Mount Pleasant hospital, near Washington. There is no doubt but that he received the best of treatment from good nurses, but as soon as he found out that the regiment had departed for home, he probably became homesick, and died. The writer is of opinion that, had he started home with his comrades, he would have recovered. We took out of the same hospital three hundred or more sick, twothirds of whom were as bad off as Mr. Downing, - men who, apparently not able to help themselves, on being told we were to start for home on the morrow, at once seemed to be miraculously cured, or much improved, and, like the sick mentioned in Holy Writ, could get up and walk without any assistance and get about, packing their knapsacks, with a cheer, and saying: "Count me in; I'll be ready at 8 a. m. sharp." That was the time set to leave the gate of the hospital, where the sick were all to assemble preparatory to leaving for the depot.

The regiment was all in readiness to march from the fort at an early hour on the morning of the 2 2d of August, 1864, which all seemed to do without any regret. They got under way at 9 a. m., via Baltimore, Harrisburg, and Pittsburgh, arriving at Cleveland on the 25th at 9 p. M., having been on the road eighty-four hours, and a tedious ride it was, with over five hundred sick men to feed and take care of on the route. A great many accidents occurred which would be worthy of note. One of a ludicrous nature transpired while waiting on a siding for a down train. Some of the boys spied an old oil well near the track, and, being inquisitive, had the audacity to apply a lighted match, when the flames, like a flash, shot high in the air. Just then the train started, to the great relief of the thoroughly frightened men.

The regiment was finally mustered out of the service on Sunday, the 4th day of September, 1864, and left Cleveland for home on Monday, the 5th, where they arrived at 4 p. m., having been absent one hundred and twenty-six days. They received pay for one hundred and twentyfive days' service.

The following named men, members of the One Hundred and Sixty-ninth regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry, died during their term of service, as shown by the records of the Adjutant General's office:

Of the sad accidents which occurred none was more regretted than the overlooking of John DownejT (or Downing), a private of company K. He was accidentally left in the hospital at the Soldiers' Home, near Washington, and died September 6, 1864, and is buried in the National cemetery at Arlington, Virginia, in grove eight thousand three hundred and forty-six. He rests in a beautiful spot, beneath the foliage of an overhanging oak tree,

This regiment was one of those raised under the last call of the President, to serve for one year, and was composed of men gathered from all parts of Ohio, the great majority of them having already seen arduous service - of the regimental officers, all but two had seen service. At 1 2 o'clock on the 2d day of March, 1865, the last company to complete the regiment was mustered in at Camp Chase, and placed under the command of Colonel Thomas F. Wildes, who on the nth of the same month was made a brevet brigadier-general. Its rendezvous was Camp Chase. It moved in boats to Louisville, and there, taking the cars, was soon at Nashville. On the 8th of March it left Nashville for Murfreesborough, arriving there on the 10th of March, 1865. The march of the night of the 9th of March was one which will long be remembered by the men of the One Hundred and Eighty-sixth. There was not a tent in the command - the regimental quartermaster had not yet been mustered in and could not legally draw them, if they were to be had. There was rain and snow during the day, and at night the weather turned very cold. In all their three years' previous service the men had never experienced such a night. The cold was intense, but not a murmur of complaint was heard. The destination of the regiment was Cleveland, Tennessee, where it went into camp, and, following the example of the old soldiers, soon erected comfortable quarters.

On the 2d of May, 1865, the regiment moved from Cleveland to Dalton, and remained there a few days. General Wildes, meantime, had been assigned to the command of a brigade at Chattanooga, and, on his request, the One Hundred and Eighty-sixth was transferred to his brigade. At Chattanooga Lieutenant Colonel Wilhelm disciplined the men to such proficiency that the regiment became the best drilled of the command.

This consequently returned General Wildes ; to the command of his regiment. Sep- ! tember 13, orders were received to pre- | pare the rolls for the muster out of the ! regiment. On the 25th of September I they were mustered out, and paid, at Co- | lumbus, Ohio. The regiment faithfully j and earnestly performed every duty required of it, and bore all its privations without a whisper of complaint, and, if the continuance of the war had required, they would have been found equal to the best and bravest of the defenders of the Union.

The Third Ohio Volunteer Cavalry

Captain William B. Amsden recruited a company designated company D, in Sandusky, Colonel Lewis Zahm being the I moving spirit of the organization of the regiment. It moved from Camp Worcester, near Monroeville, to Camp Dennison on the 14th of January, 1862. From there it went to Jeffersonville, Indiana, opposite Louisville, Kentucky, in the following February. Then it moved on the 2d of March, 1862, to Nashville, Tennessee, and arrived there March 18. On the 20th of March it left Nashville for Pittsburg Landing. On the 4th of April, 1862, General Buell detached the first battalion and sent it to Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, to oppose Biffle's rebel cavalry there. The rebels were met and driven out of Lawrenceburg. Several rebels were wounded and one man killed and six horses captured. Another detachment, under Major John H. Foster, was sent to Mount Pleasant on the 6th of April to seize a quantity of bacon, which was duly captured and turned over to the quartermaster. It then joined the regiment at Savannah, whither the Third had moved . in advance of Buell's army. On the 25th of April it marched up to Pittsburg Landing and went into camp four miles from the river.

During the first year of its service the Third Ohio Cavalry was attached to General T. J. Wood's division, and most of the time was under his immediate command; and the history of Wood's division is referred to for the gallant acts the regiment performed. From this time on the regiment did faithful service. It fought many hard battles and displayed those qualities which reflect honor to every individual, whether officer or private, who was so fortunate as to be on its rolls. To give a detailed account of the marches, charges and services of the brave and gallant body of men, would need a whole book. It fought, and marched, and charged with unflinching obedience to orders. It suffered without complaining all through the war. It finished its long career of arduous service at Macon, Georgia. It was, during the latter part of its service, under command of Captain E. M. Colver, and under him did some glorious work. Under orders from General Thomas the Third turned over its horses and arms at Macon, and was ordered to report at Nashville, Tennessee, for muster out. Proceeding to Louisville, Kentucky, and thence to Camp Chase, Ohio, the regiment was there paid off and discharged on the 14th day August, 1865, having served four years lacking twenty days.

The Ninth Ohio Volunteer Cavalry

This regiment was recruited in the fall and winter of 1862. The nucleus of the regiment was raised in the central and southern portion of the State, with rendezvous at Zanesville. It did faithful service, for the particulars of which the reader may consult the history of Ohio in the War.

Tenth Ohio Volunteer Cavalry

The following is a list of men who volunteered from Sandusky county and enlisted in the Tenth Ohio Volunteer Cavalry. For the services performed by this regiment the reader is refered to Ohio in the War, by Reid.

Non-Commissioned Officer

This list is defective because it fails to mention Lieutenant James H. Hafford, who was afterwards promoted to captain, was taken prisoner, his horse being killed and so falling on his legs as to prevent his escape from the enemy; a brave soldier and worthy commander of his company.

Of The Rebellion

No fair or true history of the war to suppress the Southern rebellion, and to save the Constitution and the Government, can be written without placing on record, by the side of the heroic deeds of the men, the noble acts and the uncomplaining endurance of suffering and privation patiently borne by the patriotic women oi Sandusky county, as well as everywhere in the country.

In the autumn of 1861, President Lincoln and General Scott became convinced that the war would be prolonged through the approaching winter, and convinced also that, with all the efforts Government could make with the resources then in its hands, there must be much suffering in the army necessarily to be kept in the field, for want of clothing and other supplies, made an appeal to the mothers and daughters of the republic for help. They were requested to make an effort to furnish shirts, drawers, socks, mittens, etc., to the soldiers in the field, and also such

And now we pause to consider and ask : What could a whole volume upon the then alarming condition of the country say or prove better than an appeal of this kind, made by the commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States, and his venerable, war-worn lieutenant-general, to the women of the country? Alarm and fear, and want of resources to carry on the war successfully, are all implied in this appeal to the women. The wisdom and experience of the men who made this appeal are obvious. They knew well the organism of the two sexes - that man is strongest in intellect and reasoning, while woman is more affectionate and intuitive than man; that her intuition often leads her to safer conclusions in the practical affairs of life, than the slow judgment and reasoning of man. They knew also that, while love is the controlling influence in woman, when the object of her love was placed in a position of danger and suffering, her labor to rescue and relieve was intense, sleepless, and knew no bound but the limit of life itself. These w'ise ones knew also the power of woman in the domestic and social circles of life to stimulate man to action. This wise and timely appeal to mothers and daughters was well made and most nobly responded to, especially by the women of Sandusky county.

On the 14th of October, 1861, at a meeting held in Buckeye Hall, in Fremont, for the purpose of recruiting for the Seventysecond regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, among other proceedings resolutions were passed noticing this appeal to the mothers and daughters of the country, and requesting that they organize a society for the purpose indicated.

called together, and on the 19th day of October, 1861, about one hundred of the 1 best and most influential women of the city met at Birchard Hall to consider the | matter, and organized a society, adopted | a constitution, and elected officers, as fol- | lows:

The visiting committee was as follows: Mrs. F. I. Norton, Mrs. L. Canfield, Mrs. William B. Sheldon, Mrs. Oscar Ball, Mrs. Platt Brush, Mrs. M. W. St. Clair, and Miss Bell Nyce.

The object of the society was to collect j and forward to the Union soldiers cloth- | ing, medicine, and food fit for the sick soldiers, lint, bandages, and every other article available to relieve our soldiers from the sufferings incident to the war.

The society at once made its organization and objects known through the ! press of the county, and gave notice that | any donations to the soldiers might be dei posited with Stephen Buckland, or R. C. McCulloch, of Fremont.

To give a detailed account of all that our women did for the safety and comfort of our soldiers in the service, whether in the field or hospital, or in prison, would fill a book, but is not necessary to a fair appreciation of their works. From the day the society was organized, they worked for the comfort and health of the men in the army. They worked as only women can work for country, and for loved ones away, and in danger. Their minds and hands were busy in contriving and executing plans for the most good, and how much good they accomplished the Infinite alone can ever know and measure. Women whose hands had before been strangers to work, and whose circumstances in life then were such as to free them from toil at home, cheerfully met and mingled with those who had known toil all their lives, on a common level in their great work, and toiled together and earnestly for the soldiers of the Union army. And the soldier in prison, or in hospital, or in camp on duty, received the letters from the noble women at home, bearing messages ot recollection, kindness and encouragement, accompanied with the free offerings of things needed for their comfort, - the soldier was not only relieved and comforted, but was inspired with fresh and higher courage to fight and suffer on to a glorious close of the war.

The records of the society are not at hand, but we have gathered sufficient facts to give future generations the kind of work they performed all through the war after the society was first organized, Alj most every week, and sometimes oftene ! shipments were made of articles needed.

! One or two would capture a horse and i spring wagon, drive through the country, l calling on every one they met for donations. They would enter a well-to-do farmer's residence. The good wife on being informed of their object, would at once throw open closet, larder and cellar, and whatever the callers wanted they took, and the donor was happy in the giving. Her store of preserves, jellies, pickles, blankets, old sheets, in fact anything they wanted was at their disposal, and the wagon would soon return loaded with good and comforting things for the boys in the war. These collections and the donations from those nearer the head of the organization were packed in boxes, and promptly sent by railroad to where they were most needed.

We here append the quarterly report of the Soldiers' Aid Society of Fremont, made February 4, 1864, to give a sample of the articles collected and forwarded, also a report ot a similar organization at Clyde, in September, 1864, which are as follows :

Clyde Aid Society

The second financial year of our society has come, and we still find ourselves in a cruel war. Though at present we rejoice over our victories, and were it not for Northern rebels we might think the work almost done; but they will meet a fall one day that will tell them and their children the doom of traitors. In casting up our proceedings

We return our thanks to Mr. H. Adams for his donations - four hundred and fifty dollars, - also for the melons; thanks to Mr. Hatfield for money received from taking pictures on Thursdays. All who want a good picture call on Mr. Hatfield on Thursdays, and you will not only have a good picture but will help the Aid, as half of the proceeds of that day j go to the society. To Messrs. Lemon, Mook, Streeter, Russell, Nichols, Tichnor, Birdsey, and ! Steward for fleeces of wool, our thanks. And to all who have so kindly donated during the year, we say keep on, as we shall need all the help we can have in | these times of high prices. We have shipped to the | Commission at Cincinnati during the year the follow- I ing: Two coats, 4 pair mittens, 2 sheets, 74 shirts,

54 pair drawers, 9 comforts, 215 handkerchiefs, 45 double gowns, 33 pillows, 35 pillow-cases, 64 pairs socks, 77 towels, 293 pads, 1,492 yards bandages, 1,967 compresses, 19 rolls linen, cotton and flannel, g napkins, 6 arm-slings, 24 rolls wide bandages, 3 vests, 6 pair slippers, 4 packages hops, 3 of sage, 374 magazines and papers, 3 dozen buttons, 1 ounce linen thread, 17 quires letter-paper, 13 packages envelopes, 56 combs, 47 cakes of soap, 4 dozen leadpencils, one dozen pens and holders, bunch toothpicks, 2 fans, 1 can sugar, 1 package beans, 163 pounds apples, 80 pounds small fruits, 3 pounds canned beef, 1 keg pickled cabbage, 3% bushel potatoes, 1 box blackberry root, 29 quarts cucumber catsup, 1 quart wine, 8 quarts canned blackberries, 1 quart candy, 1 quart crab-apple, 1 quart currant jelly, 1 quart canned gooseberries, 2 quarts canned raspberries, 8 of peaches, 12 of cherries, 2 boxes mustard, 4 pounds corn starch, 1 can fruit, kind not known.

At a reorganization meeting September 22, the following officers were elected: Mrs. Nathan P. Birdseye, re-elected president; Mrs. Dr. Weaver, vice-president; Mrs. Colonel Eaton, secretary; Mrs.

The women of Fremont did not limit their work to sending good things forward for the soldiers. As the hardships, exposure, and the bloody work on the fields of battle went on, during 1863, 1864, and part of 1865, thousands of men J were discharged for disability and sent home. Such women as Mrs. John R. Pease, Mrs. R. P. Buckland, Mrs. Dr. Stillwell, Mrs. Grant, and probably others in concert with them, discovered these soldiers making their way homeward in destitute circumstances. They at once seized the opportunity for doing good, and rented a house and furnished it with comforts for needy, returning invalid soldiers. They watched for these needy patriots and when one was found he was at once taken to .their impromptu home for needy soldiers. They would place him there and furnish him with medicine if needed, and food and lodging until he was refreshed and able to go on his journey; and if he had no means to travel with, the means also were furnished him through their efforts, and the thankful soldier, sick, wounded, or needy, was sent towards his home rejoicing. Such women need no words of praise ; their acts praise them better, before God and man, than language can.

General Charles Grant

As a soldier, physician, and citizen, Colonel Eaton is alike favorably and honor- j ably remembered. He was one of those i peculiar men whose ability commanded respect, and whose qualities ingratiated him into the affections of his companions. Since people are naturally interested in what is said of their friends, this sketch is sure to receive a general reading.

Charles Grant Eaton was a son of Abel and Julia Eaton, and was born at Lowell, ! Massachusetts, September 27, 1825. His j parents removed to Ohio in 1828, and | settled in Licking county. Charles worked j on a farm and attended the common J schools of that community until young manhood, when he began the study of medicine in Granville, under the tutorage of Dr. Austin. He attended lectures at Cincinnati College of Medicine, where | he graduated in the class of 1847.

Dr. Eaton began practice at Savannah, ; Athens county, Ohio. He married, May 15, 1849, Mary H. Conant, who was born in Worcester county, Massachusetts, July 8, 1825. Her parents, Lot and Mary Conant, settled in West Virginia in 1830. j

In 1853 Dr. Eaton began the practice j of his profession in Clyde. His tact and j skill soon found favor, and a full share of the practice of the eastern part of the county came under his care. His professional career was uninturrupted until J the opening of the Rebellion. The politi- 1 cal storm had not been raging without his j notice. He felt that patriotism demanded political activity, and responded heartily to the call.

the Seventy-second Ohio Volunteer Infantry, then being formed mainly through the efforts of General Buckland. Dr. Eaton was complimented for his activity with the captaincy of company A, composed mostly of citizens of the east part of the county.

The biography of Dr. Eaton from now until the close of the war is closely interwoven with the history of the noble Seventy-second Although his commissioned rank in the service did not obtain higher than the lieutenant-colonelcy, he was in command of the regiment during many of its most perilous expeditions. The regiment, soon after enlistment, was ordered up the Tennessee River. At Shiloh Captain Eaton was quite sick, and in consequence was unable to participate actively in this engagement, in which the lieutenant-colonel was killed and the major captured. The command then devolved upon Colonel Eaton, until the regiment reached Camp No. 6, in front of Corinth, when Colonel Buckland, who had been in command of the brigade, reassumed command of the regiment.

Captain Eaton was promoted to major July 23, 1862. In November, 1862, Colonel Buckland being again called to the command of a brigade, Major Eaton was given command of the regiment on Grant's Mississippi campaign, and several independent expeditions, until the return of Lieutenant-Colonel Crockett in January, 1863. He served with credit through the Vicksburg campaign, and was soon after commissioned lieutenant-colonel. In the absence of the colonel he commanded the regiment until it was mustered out, September 1 1, 1865.

Colonel Eaton commanded his regiment on McPherson's expedition to Canton, Mississippi, and in Sturgis' fight with Forrest near Tupelo, Mississippi, where his bravery and devotion saved many men from capture. In General A. J. Smith's fights with P'orrest; on Mower's raid through Arkansas into Missouri after the rebel General Price; at the battle of Nashville, December, 1864, where the Seventysecond won distinguished honor; in the i attacks upon the forts around Mobile in the spring of 1865, he bore himself like a 'true soldier. When hostilities had finally ceased, he marched with his command, by way of Montgomery and Selma, to Vicksburg, where the regiment was mus- j tered out.

"He came out of the service," says the memorial of the Army of the Tennessee, "without a blemish on his military record, and at the close of the war was breveted brigadier-general for gallant and meritorious services."

Colonel Eaton was firmly attached to his regiment. He was a man of heart as well as courage. While he was ambitious to honor his regiment, he at the same time protected them so far as possible from rash and hazardous undertakings. An incident illustrating his character as a military commander occurred on the field of Nashville. The lines were drawn up in front of the enemy's position, the Seventy-second being placed before a strong point. Brigadier-General McMillen sent his aide to Colonel Eaton, ordering him to lead the advance. Eaton saw at once that th^. execution of this order would be the certain destruction of the regiment. He told the officer to present General McMillen his compliments, and to tell him that he was not going to advance. The aide communicated Eaton's reply to McMillen, who rode in person to the front and repeated the order. Eaton, in his characteristic way, said, in effect: "General, you can't see the situation. I am here in front where I can, and I tell you this regiment is not going to advance on that position." General McMillen compromised his order, and saved the regiment from foolish destruction.

Colonel Eaton, as it is popularly expressed, was "one of the boys"; always ready to join in their amusemenls, exert himself to relieve their suffering, and make the burdens of army life as light as possible. No body of men could help but be attached to such an officer. Friendship heightened into love, which has not yet been forgotten by comrades in arms. On one occasion, at a reunion, a veteran caught his old colonel by the hand, and, as he remembered the multiplied kindnesses shown the rank and file on the field, his eyes filled and tears drowned the words with which he wanted to express himself. A similar feeling of affection is cherished by his entire command.

After the war Dr. Eaton resumed the practice of his profession in Clyde. He died October 13, 1875. In his profession, General Eaton was not bound by any school of practice. He was practical in the treatment of cases, never wanting in resources, and always prompt in their application. 'While his knowledge of the science of medicine covered a wide range, he relied more upon his own judgment and experience than upon books and rules. He perceived quickly and accurately, and discriminated finely. A retentive memory was his faithful servant, and made a diversified experience valuable.

As a citizen, General Eaton was enterprising and influential. He was freehanded with his money, and loved association. His affable manner, generosity, and interesting conversation caused his companionship to be sought and appreciated. Although without early training, and never a hard student, he was a wellinformed man. His was one of those peculiar minds which absorb the acquirements of minds with which they come in contact. Having engaged in a consulta-

Dr. Eaton was buried with Masonic honors, having been connected with that fraternity from the age of twenty-one years. He was also a member of the Odd Fellows lodge.

Mrs. Eaton is yet a citizen of Clyde. The family consisted of three children - Charles Henry, born March 14, 1850, lives in Colorado; Mary Julia, born October 31, 1851, married August 6, 1875, to John H. King, lives in Michigan; Frederick C., born January 13, 1861, died March 14, 1862.

Chester Averill Buckland

son of Stephen and Lucy Buckland, was born January 6, 1841, at Edinburg, then in Portage, but now in Summit county. He came with his parents, while quite young, to Fremont, and at an early period determined to learn a trade, and be independent. He accordingly served an apprenticeship at the printing business in the Fremont Journal office, under the instruction of Isaac M. Keeler, the then editor and publisher of the paper. He evinced so much manliness and intelligence that his parents determined to give him an education, and for that purpose sent him to Hudson College. Here young Buckland made rapid progress in his studies, and developed qualities which promised a high and noble manhood. From the time the war of the Rebellion first broke out, he had a burning desire to enter the Union army, but could not obtain the consent of his loved and loving mother. When his older brother, Henry W. Buckland, enlisted, and became lieutenant of Company B, of the Seventysecond regiment, Chester made further

' appeals to his mother by writing to her from Hudson, asking her to consent to his enlistment. The letters he wrote are so full of expressions of filial obedience, and yet so earnest, that they honor both parents and their child. They are given here, not specially to praise young Buckland, but to show the spirit of a representative young man of our county:

Dear Parents: I write home, at the present time, for your permission to enter the army. Not- 1 withstanding my great and burning desire to go and help overturn the rebels, I have held back by your ; advice, and in accordance with your wishes. You do not know how many times I have regretted I was not in the army, and often I think I seem a coward that I have not gone. But I gave my promise that I should not go without your consent, and I do not ; wish to break it. A great many of my friends have gone, and to me it seems as if I should be with them. You think me unable to undergo the life of a soldier. I, as well as others, have sound and unblemished limbs, fine-textured muscles, capable of great development, and which can be taught to bear fatigue. To be sure, I am small in stature, but it has been proved that small men make the best soldiers, capable of enduring more fatigue, excitement, hunger, thirst, and danger than large men, being sounder, and more compactly made. I have calculated the costs, the danger, toil, and privation I will have to undergo, and with your consent, I will most gladly endure them all. Do not refuse me. I know it will cause you many an anxious hour, but you will love to boast of me, as well as of my brother. I would, of course, want to go with Henry. Besides, 1 should no longer be a burden to you, but could let you have the most of my money which I would draw from the Government, instead of drawing from you, which you can scarcely spare. Do not think this is a sudden streak in me, for it is not. It has long been forming, and every day becomes stronger and more i powerful, and many times I have almost said I would go. You well know that long since I should have gone had you not restrained me, and now it requires but one word, and I will go. Do not withhold it. The more I see of the hardship, pain, and suffering in this war, the more I want to go and help punish the causes of it. I have delayed long enough, and I feel that I can not do so very long. I think it my duty to go. There are none who are dependent on me, and I can afford, as well as others, to leave my 'home and all I love for my country's welfare. Now that I have gone thus far, do not^refuse me. There are many men who have left their wives and children to go. I have neither, and there are none who would suffer should I fall. Besides, I should be in far better health after I got used to it. I had a letter from Lieutenant Tyler yesterday. He said all were well. I had a letter from Fred Collins during the week; he sends love. I had one from Pollie Stratton Wednesday. I must close now. So goodbye, and soon return a favorable reply to your son, Chester A. Buckland.

From the tyranny of Egypt, will be merciful to me ; Will protect me by His power, whate'er I undertake, Will return me home in safety, dearest mother, for your sake ;

You may glory in us now. Yesterday, while drilling about a mile from here, our pickets were fired upon. In a very few moments the Seventy-second was on its way to battle at a i double quick-step, company B in the rear. When we arrived at a convenient place, we were deployed j as skirmishers, and were to try and surround the | rebels. We wandered along a couple of miles. I and Henry were near the end of the company. The company was in groups of four, each group twenty paces apart. An order was given to rally on first group, when the front commenced to fire, but ceased j before we could get up. We wandered in a body for near an hour, making frequent halts. Every ear was listening and every eye watching eagerly for sound or I sight of the enemy. Nearly an hour from the first fire we got sight of them again, and nearly all got a chance to fire. We think one was killed or badly wounded. Here we found there were more than we thought, and so we retreated to a kind of a pen built of rails, and then to a big tree on the brow of a ravine. In a little time the rebel cavalry rode lip in sight, and then the fight began. I could hear the balls go "whip" through the air, and hear them strike the trees around us. There were a hundred and fifty rebels against forty-four of us ! Once in a while one would drop from his horse or a horse would fall dead or wounded. We would load, run up where we could see, drop on our knees, take aim and fire, and then run back to load. In this manner we made them believe there were a good many more than there were of us.
