his education in France and Germany. At the be- ginning of the war, in 1861, he was in the employ of the Rogers Locomotive Works, Paterson, N. J., as assistant superintendent. Resigning his position, he enlisted in the First Connecticut Regiment. Ely was soon promoted as captain and brigade commissary under Gen. Daniel Tyler. At the first battle of Bull Run he acted as aide to Gen. E. D. Keyes, and was subsequently promoted to be lieutenant-colonel of the Sixth Regiment Connecticut Volunteers for gallantry at the battle of Bull Run. At the taking of Port Royal, S. C., he was in command of the Sixth Regi- ment Connecticut Volunteers. Eight months later he was promoted as colonel of the Eighteenth Regi- ment Connecticut Volunteers, and soon afterwards appointed in command of the Second Brigade, Second Division, Army of West Virginia. June 15, 1863, Col. Ely was captured, with a portion of the Eighteenth Regiment Connecticut Volunteers, while charging a battery at Winchester. His sword, which had been shattered by a cannon-shot, was returned to him on the battle-field by Gen. Walker, of the "Stonewall" Jackson brigade. A New York Herald correspond- ent, who witnessed the battle and the Eighteenth Regiment Connecticut Volunteers, writes (June 27, 1863) as follows :
"I wrote you a few days since of the capture of Col. Ely, of the Eighteenth Connecticut Regiment. A braver or cooler officer never stood under shoulder-straps or faced a foe. After charging the enemy over fences and through lots, he marched his men back over the ground where so many of their comrades had been placed hors de combat with as much precision and care as though they were on dress parade."
Always full of energy, Ely was among those who tunneled out of Libby Prison. Returning to the Shenandoah Valley, he was appointed to the com- mand of the Second Brigade in Gen. Sheridan's corps, and subsequently breveted brigadier-general.
To-day Gen. Ely is president of the Reade Paper Company and treasurer of the Falls Company's Cot- ton-Mills.
Twenty-first Regiment Infantry .- The Twenty- first was organized in August, 1862. Col. Arthur H. Dutton was appointed from the regular army, and after having brought the regiment to a high state of efficiency, was transferred to the temporary command of a brigade, leaving Lieut .- Col. Burpee in command of the regiment.
The regiment was recruited in Hartford, New Lon- don, and Windham Counties, and went into camp at Norwich. On the 11th of September the regiment, numbering nine hundred and sixty-six men, pro- ceeded to Washington, and was assigned to the Army of the Potomac. It was first engaged in battle at Fredericksburg, Dec. 13, 1862, and sustained a loss of one commissioned officer and five men wounded. Col. Dutton spoke in the highest terms of the conduet of the regiment in this its first battle.
.
In the months of April and May, 1863, the regi- ment participated in the defense of Suffolk, Va. On
the 11th of April it proceeded to the support of the Irish Legion on the Edenton road, and, with one hun- dred rounds of ammunition per man, lay upon its arms until the 14th. It continued in this service until the 2d of May, when it was ordered to cross the Nansemond at Sleepy Hole (a place six miles lower down than the line then occupied) to seize Reed's Ferry and open communication with the Fourth Rhode Island Volunteers on the left. That the work was well executed will be seen from the follow- ing extract :
" HEADQUARTERS 3D DIVISION, 9TH A. C., " NEAR SUFFOLK, VA., May 4, 1863.
" GENERAL ORDERS NO. 28.
"(Extract.) Nor will he (the commanding general) suffer to pass un- noticed the services of those who crossed the Nansemond at Sleepy Hole, who drove the enemy's cavalry from Chuckatnck and seized Reed's Ferry, capturing an officer and fifteen men.
"Such deeds prove the mettle of the men, and show that when well led they need fear no enemy.
" By command, " BRIG .- GEN. GEORGE W. GETTY.
" CHARLES F. GARDINER, Captain and A. A. General."
Soon after this the regiment was transferred to the Department of Virginia and North Carolina. It acted as provost-guard of Gen. Dix's command in the raid up the Peninsula. From this service it pro- ceeded to Portsmouth, and afterwards crossed the river to Norfolk. After performing provost duties in those cities for nearly five months, it was relieved and ordered to Newport News, where it remained some six weeks. During this time a portion of the regi- ment, with other forces, under the command of Gen. Graham, made a destructive raid to Brandon, on the James River, destroying a large quantity of rebel property.
On the 3d of February, 1864, the regiment was ordered to Morehead City, N. C., and after aiding in repelling the enemy at that point, was sent to New- bern. On the 16th of May, 1864, the regiment took an active part in the battle of Drury's Bluff, Va., and sustained a loss of one hundred and seven officers and men killed, wounded, and missing.
