Brown. ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FIFTH OHIO NATIONAL GUARD. This regiment (or rather battalion) consisted of but might companies, raised in Cincinnati, and officered almost altogether by Cincinnatians. It was raised for the hundred-days' service; was mustered in and put on duty at Camp Dennison until May 20, 1864, when it was transported to Johnson's Island, where it engaged in guarding rebel prisoners. June 25th it was ordered to Kentucky and remained on duty in that State until August 8th, when it started for Cumberland, Maryland. The remainder of its service was in that State and in Virginia, and was, like the rest of its history, comparatively uneventful, its assignments being simply guard and general garrison duty. August 27th it began the return movement to Camp Dennison, and was there mustered out at the expiration of its term. FIELD AND STAFF. Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Bohlander. Major M. Reichings.

This regiment was recruited in Cincinnati, for the one-year service, during the months of July, August and September, 1864, a period when troops were greatly HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO - 153 needed to fill the depleted ranks of the National armiesl The regiment was declared organized on October 15, 1864. It was composed mostly of men who had seen service in "the Old Tenth," and in the ranks of the Fifth, Sixth, Ninth and other prominent Ohio regiments. Marching orders were received on the twenty-fourth of October, and on that day the regiment started for Huntsville, Alabama, and arrived at that place on the twenty-ninth. On its arrival a fight was in progress between the National forces, commanded by General R. S. Granger, and a portion of Hood's army on its way to Nashville. The left wing of the One Hundred and Eighty-first was immediately taken to the scene of action, and, although not actually engaged, the men displayed the coolness of veteran troops. In November the regiment operated around Decatur, Alabama, meeting the enemy in several picket affairs. Evacuating Decatur, the regiment went by rail to Murfreesborough, Tennessee. On this trip an accident occurred to the train, by which one man was killed and three others were wounded. On December 5th Major Hickey, with two hundred men, was for some time engaged in repairing the Chattanooga railroad. On a certain occasion the force was surrounded by the enemy, but by cool maneuvering on the part of officers and men it succeeded in escaping safely into Murfreesborough. On December 7th the regiment took part, with other troops, in repelling an attack on Murfreesborough by the rebel General Forrest, and lost three or four men wounded. In following up their success, the National force came in contact with about eight thousand rebels, under General Bates, in position on Wilkinson's turnpike. A fierce fight ensued, in which the One Hundred and Eighty-first participated in a charge across an open field, mounted the rebel works, captured one hundred and fifty prisoners and two pieces of artillery. Its loss was five killed and thirty wounded, two mortally. The regiment was mentioned in special orders for its gallantry by General Rousseau. The most of December was consumed in foraging around Murfreesborough. In these expeditions the enemy was frequently met and engaged. In one of those affairs, on the fourteenth of December, the One Hundred and Eighty-first made several gallant charges, driving the enemy, and securing the success of the expedition. In this Captain William Ketteler, Captain I. H. Pummill and First Sergeant Leonard, of company G, distinguished themselves in manoeuvring different detachments of the regiment. On Saturday, December 24th, the regiment was assigned to the Third brigade, Second division, Twenty-third army corps, and after a fatiguing march joined its command at Columbia, Tennessee, on the twenty-ninth. With the Twenty-third army corps, on January 22, 1865, it was taken to Goldsborough, North Carolina, where it joined Sherman's grand army. Under orders the regiment joined the Wilmington expedition, and proceeding up Cape Fear river until within four miles of Wilmington, was met by the returning iron-clads, with decks crowded by enthusiastic crews, who shouted the glad news that the city was captured and occupied by the National troops. Landing at Wilmington, the regiment was subjected to severe marching through the hot sands of that inhospitable country. In April the One Hundred and Eighty-first joined in the advance on Raleigh, North Carolina, and on the thirteenth was met with the happy intelligence that General Lee and his whole army had surrendered to General Grant. On the twenty-sixth of April Johnston's army surrendered, and the war was ended. The regiment was, shortly after, sent to Baltimore, and thence to Camp. Dennison, where, on the twenty-ninth of July, 1865, it was paid off and mustered out, having been in the service nine months and a half, and travelled and marched four thousand one hundred and sixty miles.

ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SECOND OHIO INFANTRY. This was a one-year regiment. The regimental organization was completed October 28, 1864, at Camp Chase, near Columbus, and it moved at once to join General Sherman's command at Nashville. Hood's army appeared early in December, and this regiment took a prominent part in the battle that followed. After remaining in Nashville for guard and provost duty, it was sent to Camp Chase, where, July 13, 1865, the men were mustered out and discharged. COMPANY G. Private William H. Payne. COMPANY H.

This regiment was organized at Camp Dennison between the tenth of October and the eighteenth of November, 1864. Eight companies were recruited principally in. Cincinnati, and the other two were from Warren and Logan counties. About one-half of the men were Germans by birth or descent. Many of the officers and men had been connected with other regiments, and had distinguished themselves in numerous engagements by their gallantry and meritorious conduct. On the nineteenth of November, with seven hundred, officers arid men present, the regiment- left Camp Dennison, and arrived at Columbia, Tennessee, on the twenty-eighth. It was at once assigned to the Third brigade, Second division, Twenty-third army corps, with which it remained during its entire term of service. When the army retired before Hood's forces on the twenty-ninth, the regiment, with the Forty-fourth Missouri, was left at Spring hill, within eight hundred yards of the enemy's camp-fire, to protect the road leading to Franklin. Skirmishing was kept up all night, and early in the morning the regiment moved with the rear of the army to Franklin, closely pursued by the rebels. In the battle which ensued it 'acted a highly important part, and though but twelve days a regiment, it occupied a position near the center, and sustained itself well against every assault of the enemy. Fifteen days later, in the battle of Nashville, the regiment showed a commendable determination to'retain its early-won laurels, and was favorably mentioned in the official reports. The casualties in these two engagements amounted to over one hundred. The regiment afterwards moved with the corps to Clifton, on the Tennessee river, and thence by way of Cincinnati, Washington city, and Fort Fisher, to Wilmington, North Carolina. Advancing by way of Kingston, it joined General Sherman's army at Goldsborough and proceeded to Raleigh. After the surrender of Johnston the regiment moved to Salisbury, and during the month of Tune, 1865, received an addition of four officers and about two hundred men, who were transferred from the Fiftieth, One Hundredth, One Hundred and Third, One Hundred and Fourth, One Hundred and Eleventh, and One Hundred and Eighteenth Ohio regiments. The regiment was mustered out at Salisbury July 17th, and proceeding to Columbus, it was paid and discharged on the twenty-ninth of July, 1865. It had served something less than a year, for which term it was recruited. FIELD AND STAFF. Colonel George W. Hoge. Lieutenant Golonel Mervin Clark. Lieutenant Colonel Augustus G. Heitey.

A great majority of the men had already seen arduous service. On the second of March, 1865, the last company was mustered in at Camp Chase. By way of Cincinnati, Louisville, and Nashville, it moved to Murfreesborough, where it arrived on the tenth. The night of the ninth will not soon be forgotten. There was not a tent in the command, for the quartermaster had not yet been mustered in. It had rained and snowed all day, and during the night the cold became intense. In all their previous service, the men had not experienced such a night. The destination of the regiment was Cleveland, Tennessee, where it went into camp. Here its commander, Colonel Wildes, became brigadier general for gallantry while lieutenant colonel of the One Hundred and Sixteenth Ohio. On the second of May the regiment moved to Dalton.' General Wildes had, in the meantime, been assigned to the command of a brigade at Chattanooga, and at his request, the One Hundred and Eighty-sixth was transferred to his command. During its stay in camp at Chattanooga, Lieutenant Colonel Wilhelm had disciplined his men to such proficiency that the regiment was regarded as one of the best drilled of the command. On the eighth of June. Lieutenant Walker, regimental guar- 160 - HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO. termaster, was detailed as brigade quartermaster. On the twentieth of July the One Hundred and Eighty-sixth was relieved from duty at Chattanooga and ordered to Nashville. This order returned General Wildes to the command of his regiment, as it did all other officers of it on detached duty. Orders were received September 13th to prepare rolls for the muster-out of the regiment. It was paid off and disbanded September 25, 1865, at Columbus. This regiment was never in an engagement, but it faithfully and earnestly performed every required duty, and doubtless would have acted well its part on the battlefield, had its place been so assigned.

This was one of the last full regiments recruited in Ohio, and was of that series of organizations authorized by the war department to be mustered for one year. It was organized March r, 1865, and left Columbus for Nashville on the third of the same month. On its arrival it was met with orders to report at Dalton, Georgia. Reaching that point the regiment went into camp, and attended to drill and discipline for not less than two months. From Dalton the One Hundred and Eighty-seventh marched to Kingston, and there received the paroles of two thousand rebel soldiers who had presented themselves at that place, claiming to belong to the surrendered armies of Johnston and Lee. Marching back to Dalton the regiment went into camp for some thirty days, when, the railroad being repaired, it was placed on the cars and taken to Macon, Georgia. It performed provost duty in Macon until its muster out in January, 1866. Shortly thereafter the regiment was sent home to Ohio, and finally paid off and discharged January 23, 1866. COMPANY E.

Four companies were from the then tenth congressional district, one company was from Cincinnati, one from Dayton, one from Georgetown, one from Tuscarawas county, and the rest from different parts of the State. The regiment left Camp Chase on the seventh of March for Huntsville, Alabama, and arrived there on the seventeenth. Immediately on its arrival seven companies were stationed at various points on the Memphis & Charleston railroad, between Stevenson and Decatur, and were engaged in guarding bridges and building stockades. One company was posted at Whites-burgh, one at Claysville and Guntersville, on the Tennessee river, and one remained at Huntsville. On the twentieth of June the regiment was concentrated at Huntsville, and performed post duty until September 25th, when it was ordered to Nashville, and there was mustered out.

Its field officers were appointed —as was then the custom—from those officers of veteran regiments in the field whose services had been satisfactory; and among the line officers were a number whose services dated from the commencement of the war. It left Columbus at once, under orders to proceed to Winchester, Virginia, and report to Brigadier General John R. Brooks. The One Hundred and Ninety-first was made the nucleus of a brigade, and, with other Ohio regiments, was put under command of Colonel Kimberly. The brigade was now styled "The Second Provisional brigade," afterward "Second brigade, Second division, army of the Shenandoah." The surrender of General Lee, soon after its arrival in the Shenandoah valley, put an end to the expectation that the One Hundred and Ninety-first would see active service in that section. It was expected that the brigade would be sent to Texas-. Its only service, however, was garrison duty in the valley, marching as far south as Winchester, where it remained until its muster-out, August 27th. The "Ohio Brigade" was the last to be mustered out in the Shenandoah valley, being retained, as the preference of the commanding officers of the army, as long as any volunteers were kept in service there.

It was recruited chiefly in nine counties, of which Hamilton was one. It started from Camp Chase for the field March 12, 1865, and arrived at Halitown, near Harper's Ferry, on the sixteenth, where it was placd in the Second brigade, First provisional division, commanded by General John R. Brooke. It took part in the picket skirmishing here, moved to Charlestown March 31st, to the Shenandoah April 4, relieving a regiment picketing the river, but moving the next day and the fifth to Winchester, for a march upon Lynchburgh, which was rendered unnecessary by the capture of Lee's army. The One Hundred and Ninety-second was ordered to Reed's hill, forty-six miles above Winchester, and remained there until May 23d, when all but two companies were ordered mustered out. Although the war was virtually over, guerillas still gave much trouble, and the regiment continued in active service. September r, 1865, it was mustered out at Winchester, and paid and discharged at Camp Chase five days later. It left a high reputation during its short service for drill, discipline, and efficiency.

ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-THIRD OHIO INFANTRY. At Camp Chase, where so many regiments began their existence, this regiment was organized, and started the same day for the Shenandoah valley. The officers were those who had seen service, and some of the privates had been officers in other volunteer organizations. The command moved from Harper's Ferry to Halltown and Charlestown, and at the latter place was partly organized, with other regiments, into brigades and divisions. The organization was hardly completed when they were joined by veteran troops, and the entire command marched up the Shenandoah valley to Winchester. Here the One Hundred and Ninety-third remained till after the surrender of the rebel armies, and the order muster-out was received. The regiment was so proficient in drill that General Sickles, on a general review, selected it to perform provost guard duty in Winchester; and it continued on that duty until the order for muster-out was received. The regiment was discharged at Camp Chase on the ninth of August, 1865. COMPANY F. COMMISSIONED OFFICER. Captain Stephen F. Elwood. PRIVATES. John Adams, Moses Adams, Daniel S. Adams, Chauncey W.

It was constantly engaged in drilling and making preparations for a movement up the valley; but the surrender of Lee caused the division and brigade to be broken up, and the regiment was ordered to Washington, where it remained on garrison duty until October 24, 1865, when it was mustered out and sent to Camp Chase for final payment and discharge.

It left Camp Chase with a strength of seven hundred and fifty-nine men, the majority of whom had seen service in other regiments. All of its officers were veterans. After doing garrison duty at Harper's Ferry a short time, it 164 - HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO. went into camp near Winchester with the troops of General Hancock. While here news of Lee's surrender was received, and the command was ordered to Alexandria, Virginia, where it did provost duty till December 18, 1865. It was then ordered up to the city of Washington, mustered out of service, and sent back to Camp Chase, where the men were paid and discharged. The soldiers composing this, like those of the other one-year regiments, were those who had fought all through the war up to that time, and were fully conversant wish all the duties of a soldier. At that time, there was little indication that the rebellion was so near its end, and the officers and men fully expected to enter into the front ranks of many a sanguinary battle. Within two months after their entering the service, however, Richmond was taken and the confederacy in a state of hopeless decline. COMPANY F. COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. Captain John Davidson.

It immediately started for West Virginia, where it was assigned to the Ohio brigade at Winchester. In July it was ordered to. Baltimore, and assigned to duty in the fortifications around that city; a portion of it being sent to Fort Delaware. On the eleventh of September it was mustered out at Baltimore, it being the last volunteer organization in that department. Of the thirty-eight officers composing the field, staff, and line, only two had not served over two years, and the majority had served during the war in other organizations. More than two-thirds of the men had belonged to other regiments, and had been honorably discharged for wounds or expiration of term of service. Although the regiment was not entitled to inscribe on its colors the name of any engagement, still nearly every battle-field in the Union was represented in its ranks. COMPANY F. PRIVATES.

FIFTH UNITED STATES COLORED INFANTRY—(ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVENTH OHIO INFANTRY.) This was the first complete negro regiment recruited in Ohio. A number of colored men had been sent to fill the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts and thus. lost in the "credits" of the Buckeye State. In the summer of 1863 Captain McCoy, of the One Hundred and Fifteenth, was detailed by Governor Tod for recruiting colored troops in Ohio. At that time the only law authorizing such proceeding was the "contraband law," which gave a colored laborer in the service of the United States ten dollars per month, three dollars for clothing, and seven dollars for his pay proper. Recruiting 'progressed slowly, and the organization could with difficulty be kept together. Finally an order from the war department called colored men into the service of the United States. The organization was now changed to the Fifth regiment of United States colored troops, and Professor G. W. Shurtliff, of Oberlin, was appointed lieutenant colonel. Early in November the regiment went to Virginia, and, soon after its arrival at Norfolk, Colonel Conine, who had been commissioned by the President, reported for duty and assumed command. In December, 1863, the regiment formed a part of the command under General Wild in the rapid raid to Elizabeth City, North Carolina; and on the way, the guerillas attacking a detachment of four companies of the Fifth, four were killed and several wounded. In May, 1864, the regiment accompanied the expedition from Fortress Monroe against Richmond and Petersburgh, forming a part of the colored division of the Eighteenth army corps. The Fifth was the first regiment to gain the shore at City Point, capturing the rebel signal officers and corps stationed there. June 15, 1864, the siege of Petersburgh began, when the colored division stormed the heights, and captured two strong earthworks, with several pieces of artillery. In this action the regiment lost a number Of men and one officer killed. Among the wounded was Colonel Conine, who, shortly afterward, at the hospital at Annapolis, tendered his resignation. From the date of this action to the fifteenth of August, the regiment was constantly on duty in the trenches, building forts, or on the skirmish line, during which time it lost many men and several valuable officers. September 29, 1864, occurred the battle of Chapin's Farm, the storming of New Market Heights, and the capture of Fort Harrison. In the afternoon of the same day, the Fifth, along with a brigade of white troops, assaulted Fort Gilmer. The white troops wavered and finally withdrew in confusion, while the Fifth colored, unsupported and alone, pressed on close to the fort, and two or three men had actually scaled the walls, when Major Terry received an order to withdraw. In this day's fighting nine officers were wounded, one of whom afterward died; and, out of five hundred and fifty men who went into the fight, eighty-five were killed and two hundred and forty-eight wounded, the loss thus, amounting to over fifty per cent. of those engaged. At the capture of Fort Fisher, and also in the assault on Sugar Loaf and Fort Anderson, this command had an honorable part. After the surrender of the rebel armies, the Fifth was stationed a while 166 - HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO. at Goldsborough; thence it went to Newbern and Carolina City. In September it returned to Columbus, where it was discharged October 5, 1865. ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVENTH COLORED VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. PRIVATES.

It was mustered in at Camp Chase, October 5, 1861, and was a choice regiment, as there was a great pressure to join the first cavalry command formed in the State, and the men were carefully picked. About the middle of September, before the whole regiment was mustered, companies A and C were ordered to western Virginia, and saw much hard service in the Shenandoah valley and about Washington. and did not rejoin the regiment till January, 1865. In December the rest of the regiment, the first cavalry regiment in that department, reached Louisville. During the next four years (for the organization became "veteran") it saw abundant service in Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, at the battles of Perryville, Murfreesborough (in which Colonel Milliken was killed), and Chickamauga (where Lieutenant Colonel Cupp fell), those of the Atlanta campaign, and many minor actions. The latter part of its service was in raiding and garrison duty in Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina. It was mustered out at Columbus, September 13, 1865. COMPANY C. COMMISSIONED OFFICER.

This was raised in the summer and fall of x861, the last company being mustered in at Camp Wade, Cleveland, October BD, 1861. It was raised mostly from the Western Reserve, and was a superb regiment. It served, under its original veteran organizations, until September is, 1865, when it was paid and disbanded. It had a very extended and arduous service. Mr. Whitelaw Reid, in his Ohio in the War, says: The Second fought under the following general officers: Buell, Wright, Hunter, Denver, Sturgis, Blunt, Salomon, Curtis, Schofield, Burnside, Carter, Gillmore, Shackelford, Foster, Kautz, Sedgwick, Wilson, McIntosh, Torbert, Custer, Sheridan, Meade, and Grant. Its horses have drunk from, and its troopers have battled in, the waters of the Arkansas, Kaw, Osage, Cygues, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, Scioto, Miami, Cumberland, Tennessee, Holston, Potomac, Shenandoah, Rappahanock, Rapidan, Bull Run, Mattapony, Pamunkey, Chickahominy, James, Appamatox, Blackwater, Nottoway, and Chespeake. It has campaigned through thirteen States and a territory: Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, and Indian territory.. It has travelled, as a regiment, on foot, horseback, by railroad and steamboat, on land, river, bay, and ocean. It has marched an aggregate distance of twenty-seven thousand miles; has fought in ninety-seven battles and engagements. It has served in five different armies: The army of the Frontier, of the Missouri, of the Potomac, of the Ohio, and of the Shenandoah—forming a continuous line of armies from the headwaters of the Arkansas to the mouth of the James; and its dead, sleeping where they fell, form a vidette-line half aeross the continent, a chain of prostrate sentinels two thousand miles long.

This regiment, in both the original and veteran organizations, seems to have been recruited almost bodily in Cincinnati and elsewhere in Hamilton county. It was raised under special authority from General Fremont, by Colonel John Kennett, between August 15, and November 23, 1861, when it moved from Camp Gurley to Camp Dennison with one thousand and seventy men. It embarked for Jeffersonville December 6th, and on the twenty-seventh crossed into Kentucky and moved to Bacon creek, with an assignment to General 0. M. Mitchell's third division. It captured a valuable supply train at Bowling Green, and led the advance to Nashville, near which place, at Edgefield, the city was formally surrendered to Colonel Kennett. March 9, 1862, while in camp eight miles from the city, Morgan's men captured its forage train with thirty men and eighty horses. The regiment moved soon after to Murfreesborough, and an expedition from it destroyed a powder mill and magazine near McMinnville, repulsing a force of rebels thrice its number, without loss. At Huntsville it captured a railway train with eight hundred rebel soldiers, also seventeen locomotives and many cars. Its operations thereafter were very active and successful in northern Alabama, and when the country was abandoned upon the retreat of Buell in September, it covered the rear of the column to Murfreesborough, and then joined in the pursuit of Bragg, and afterwards in guarding Buell's wagon trains. On a March to Danville soon after, a detachment of the Fourth, numbering about two hundred and fifty, was surrounded, captured, and paroled. The rest of the regiment, marching sixty-nine consecutive days, in due time reached Nashville again, took part in the battle of Murfreesborough, undertook a raid in Bragg's rear and cut the railroad, capturing a locomotive and train of cars, and made several successful attacks. It moved southward with the army of the Cumberland, June 24th; September 9th, fought and routed Wheeler's cavalry near Alpine, Georgia, and on the twenty-ninth was engaged on the extreme right at Chickamauga, with a loss of thirty-two killed, wounded and missing. After the battle it pursued Wheeler into east Tennessee, and fought him near Farmington. Till the last of December it was on duty in northern Alabama, then re-enlisted and took its veteran furlough. Shortly before that, the Second battalion made an inroad into east Tennessee, and at Cleveland captured many prisoners and burned a shot, shell and cap factory. It then went to the relief of Knoxville, and soon after re-enlisted also. On March 13, 1864, the reorganized and now veteran regiment started again from Camp Dennison for Nashville, where it was equipped, and marched on foot to Columbia, where it was remounted. On May 22d it joined the Seventeenth corps at Decatur, Alabama. On the twenty-ninth its brigade was attacked by General Roddy with a large force, when he was repulsed in disorder, after a hard fight of two hours. In the Atlanta campaign it was engaged in frequent skirmishes, and on the sixth of July it destroyed some large factories at Roswell engaged in making cloth for the rebel armies. On the nineteenth it helped to destroy the Augusta railroad east of and near Atlanta. It aided in a successful raid to Covington, during which two railway bridges, two trains and locomotives, and over two million dollars worth of cotton were destroyed and five hundred rebels captured. The Fourth was also in Stone-man's raid, was engaged at Flat Rock bridge, accompanied General Kilpatrick on his raid around Atlanta, had a severe engagement at Lovejoy's Station, August 19th, HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO - 169 while in the advance, and, after the command was surrounded, participated in a charge by which the rebel lines were cut through and all the wagons and artillery safely brought out. The regiment reached Buckhead on the twenty-second, and on the twenty-fifth took part in Sherman's flank movement to Jonesborough, and thence marched to Cross Keys, where it stayed till September 26th, thence went to Landtown, to Atlanta, and to Nashville for a remount. This was finally formed at Louisville, and it started Dixieward again, newly equipped and remounled, on the first of December, reaching Nashville ten days afterwards. It picketed the Cumberland while the battle of Nashville was proceeding, and when it was over, guarded a wagon train to Columbia. At Gravelly Springs, in January, it was equipped for a long campaign, and spent the time there in drilling and building quarters and stables. On March 22d the regiment, now a part of General Wilson's command, advanced by Frankfort, Rupellville, Jasper, Elyria, and Monteville to Selma. On April 1st, at Ebenezer Church, fifteen miles from Selma, the enemy was routed in a sharp skirmish, losing three pieces of artillery and several hundred prisoners. The next day, in front of the rebel works at the latter place, the troops dismounted for a charge, the Fourth being the left regiment of Wilder's brigade, which held the right of the line. One-fourth the command were holding the horses, and there were only one thousand .five hundred in the charging column. The attack was made, over five hundred yards of open ground, and through a hail of grape, canister and musket shot. The line swept undauntedly across the works, capturing two lunettes, with seven guns and other war equipment. Fifty men of the Fourth were killed and wounded in this charge. The arsenal and navy yard at Selma were destroyed, and on April 6th the column resumed its march, capturing Montgomery and Columbus, and reaching Macon on the twentieth, where it remained on guard and patrol duty until May 23d, when it started homeward, arriving at Nashville June 15th, and being mustered out the latter part of the next month.

FIFTH OHIO CAVALRY. The beginnings of this regiment were made early in August, 186r, under authority from General Fremont, by Colonel W. H. H. Taylor and Lieutenant Colonel Thomas T. Heath. At first it was the Second Ohio cavalry, but was changed to the Fifth by Governor Dennison. Recruits were rendezvoused at Camp Dick Corwine, near Cincinnati, till November 5th, when the regiment was ordered to Camp Dennison. February 26, 1862, orders were received with much enthusiasm to proceed to Paducah. The command was now one thousand one hundred and forty-two strong, mostly recruited in Hamilton and Clermont counties. It reached Fort Henry just after the victory of the Union forces there, and in a few days proceeded by steamer to Savannah, on the Tennessee river. March 14th it was transported to a point near Eastport, and made the first expedition of the Federal forces on Mississippi soil. Frequent skirmishes were had near Pittsburgh Landing, and parts of the regiment were on numerous scouts until the battle there, which was its first general engagement. It bore itself heroically in both days' fight, though under the most unfavorable circumstances, and for a time received 174 - HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO. its orders directly from General Grant. Early April 8th it formed the advance and flank guard of General Sherman's reconnaissance, and about eight miles out charged the enemy's cavalry, driving it some six miles, and capturing many prisoners and much material of war. At Corinth it was the first on its part of the line, to enter the town. It was constantly on duty till July 27th, when it reached Memphis, was armed with Burnside carbines, and allowed a rest. Two battalions were heavily engaged at the battle of Hatchie, while the Third battalion fought with Rosecrans at Corinth. Companies B and M were in the brilliant action at Davis' Mill, where a large rebel force was checked by one greatly inferior; and they were specially commended in orders by General Grant. In the spring and summer of 1863 the regiment, then in the Second brigade, Cavalry division, Sixteenth corps, was employed in guarding Memphis and the Memphis & Charleston railroad. July 30th it started for Camp Davis, Mississippi, where the Third battalion, which had been long detached, rejoined it. This battalion had also seen very active and honorable service, and in February, 1863, suffered the loss of Major C. S. Hayes, commanding the battalion, who was killed near Hernando, Mississippi. It was engaged in forty-seven actions and skirmishes while serving independently of its regiment, marching and scouting over fifteen hundred miles, and capturing more than three hundred prisoners, and as many horses and mules, with not more than twenty-five men and horses killed and taken, and fourteen wounded. At once after the reunion of the battalions, the regiment marched to attack a brigade of the enemy's cavalry, which they drove through Baldwin to Guntown and returned with a number of prisoners. It was then assigned to the Second cavalry brigade, and was almost constantly engaged in scouting and skirmishing. In the latter part of August Major Rader, with the Second battalion, got on the wrong road, ran into a large force of rebels, and was completely stampeded, with a loss of nine men and thirty-five horses. October 16th, by personal order of General Sherman, the regiment joined the advance of Osterhaus' division, Fifteenth corps, on Chattanooga, and had sharp fights at Tuscumbia and elsewhere on the route. For ten days it was about constantly engaged. Part of the regiment served as train guards during the battles of Chattanooga and Mission Ridge, while another part acted as escorts and couriers. Its next service was in east Tennessee, and the Third battalion was a part of the brigade which cut its way through the enemy and gave Burnside information of approaching relief. The next spring the regiment effected a veteran organization, and was assigned to the Third division, Fifteenth corps. During the Atlanta campaign it saw much hard service, by which many of the men were dismounted and were unable to procure remounts. After July 13th the regiment remained the rest of the summer at Cartersville, guarding the railroad. November 8th it joined Kilpatrick's division, Second brigade, and began the march to the sea. In this it had numerous engagements, particularly distinguishing itself at Waynesborough, as also in the march through the Carolinas, losing-seventy-three killed, wounded, and missing in the unfortunate affair at Monroe's Cross Roads, where Kilpatrick was surprised by Hampton. After the peace the Fifth held in order the sub-district of Morganton, comprising seventeen counties in western North Carolina, and then all that region. It was finally mustered out after a splendid but most arduous service, October 3o, 1865. ORIGINAL ORGANIZATION. FIELD AND STAFF. Colonel A. H. H. Taylor. Lieutenant Colonel Thomas J. Heath.
