We are tired of war on the old camp ground, Many are dead and gone,
Of the brave and true who've left their homes, Others been wounded long.
CHO .- Many are the hearts that are weary to-night, Wishing for the war to cease, Many are the hearts looking for the right, To see the dawn of peace. Tenting to-night, tenting to-night, tenting on the old camp ground.
We've been fighting to-day on the old camp ground, Many are lying near ;
Some are dead, and some are dying, Many are in tears.
CHo .- Many are the hearts that are weary to-night, Wishing for the war to cease, Many are the hearts looking for the right, To see the dawn of peace. Dying to-night, dying to-night, dying on the old camp ground.

TWELFTH REGIMENT INFANTRY.
This splendid regiment, known as the "Charter Oak Regiment," left Hart- ford under Col. Henry C. Deming, for Ship Island, Feb. 24, 1862, and was attached to Gen. B. F. Butler's division. It was stationed in or near New Orleans during 1862 and part of 1863. On the 31st of January, 1863, Col. Deming resigned, and Lieut .- Col. Colburn was appointed Colonel.
Oct. 27, 1862, it was in the battle of Georgia Landing, La., and lost nineteen men in killed, wounded, and missing.
March 27, 1863, Company A embarked on board the gunboat. Diana, with a company of the 160th New York, to make a reconnoissance. Returning through Atchafalaya they were fired upon, and after a severe fight of an hour, were all captured. It is reported they fought with the greatest gallantry, and only surrendered to greatly superior numbers after the boat had been disabled.
On the 9th of April following the regiment started on an expedition against the enemy. On the 13th, at daylight, it formed in support of the 21st Indiana Battery, which opened upon the enemy's fortifications. It shortly afterwards advanced to the front of the enemy's works, and during the day supported several batteries. Companies E, F, and G were advanced as skirmishers, and were actively engaged during the whole of the afternoon. Lieut .- Col. Peck spoke in the highest terms of the conduct of the regiment, and mentions Maj. Lewis and Capts. Brennan and Grannis as deserving of great praise.
The regiment also bore a conspicuous part in the seige of Port Hudson, from May 25 to July 9, 1863, and sustained an aggregate loss of 108 officers and men.
In the spring of 1864 more than three-fourths of the regiment re-enlisted and returned to Connecticut on furlough. On the 8th of May it returned to New Orleans, and remained in that vicinity until July 6, 1864, when it em- barked for Fort Monroe, and on August 7th joined the army under General Sheridan, in the Shenandoah Valley. Sept. 19, 1864, it was engaged in the battle of Opequan, Va., losing 71 in killed and wounded. Among the killed were Lieut .- Col. Peek and Lieuts. William S. Buckley and J. W. Steadman. Sept. 22d it was in the battle of Fisher's Hill, sustaining but trifling loss.
Oct. 15th Lieut .- Col. Geo. N. Lewis (promoted from Major rice Peck killed in action), reported for duty, previous to which time he had been absent in Connecticut, from effect of wounds received at Port Hudson, and assumed command.
Oct. 19, 1864, it was in the battle of Cedar Creek, Va., sustaining a loss of 170 officers and men. Capt. Lowell and Licuts. Phelps and Benton were among the killed.
The severe losses sustained by the command, and the near expiration of their term of service of those who did not re-enlist, necessitated the consoli- dation of the regiment, and Nov. 26, 1864, it was organized as the Twelfth Battalion Conn. Veteran Vols., and continued to serve in Virginia under Col. Lewis until its muster out, August 12, 1865, leaving behind it a record for bravery, courage, endurance, and discipline, which reflects honor upon the State, whose interests it so gallantly upheld in the field.

THIRTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY.
This regiment left New Haven for Ship Island March 17, 1862, 1017 men. All the field officers had seen active service.
It participated in the battle of Georgia Landing, La., Oct. 27, 1862; its loss was not reported.
On the 14th of April, 1863, it took a prominent part in the battle of Irish Bend, La. In this battle the regiment captured a Rebel flag bearing this inscription; " The Ladies of Franklin County to the St. Mary's Cannoniers." The regiment behaved gallantly in this fight, and it was mentioned in official reports as being worthy of special praise for its bravery in its charge upon the enemy's battery. The loss was 53 in killed and wounded.
May 24th following, it was engaged in battle at Port Hudson, and again on the 14th of June was engaged with the enemy at the same place, with a loss of 22 men.
April 11th it embarked with other regiments to join the main army which had met with repulse at Sabine Cross Roads. On the 21st it marched down the river, and on the 22d was engaged in the battle of Cane River, fording the stream in water waist deep, and skirmishing through woods, and over creeks and bluffs, charged the enemy in his entrenchments. It lost at this engage- ment 3 killed and 21 wounded. The mounted detachment of the 13th suffered severely, 12 out of the 18 present being killed or wounded. On the 16th the enemy was encountered in position at Mansurd Plain, but after a fight of two or three hours he withdrew. This was the last engagement of the 13th in that section. The re-enlisted veterans were furloughed in July, and arrived at Hartford on the 27th.
Aug. 29th it left for Washington, arriving on the 31st, and proceeded to Harper's Ferry, and subsequently joined the army at Berrysville. On Sept. 18th the regiment broke camp, and commenced the advance which, next day, brought on the battle of Winchester, in which it took an active part, sustaining an aggregate loss of 49. Following the routed enemy, he was again con- fronted at Fisher's Hill. On the morning of the 22d the regiment threw up breastworks, exposed to a murderous fire of the enemy's sharpshooters. At 4 p. m. on the same day an attack was made upon the enemy which was entirely successful, and the 13th was engaged during the night and following day in pursuit of the flying foe.
Oct. 19th it was engaged with the enemy at the battle of Cedar Creek, los- ing 28 officers and inen. On the 23d of Dec. the non-veterans left for New Haven to be mustered-out; the veterans and recruits were consolidated into a battalion, and soon proceeded to Savannah, arriving Jan. 19, 1865. April 25th it was mustered-out at Fort Pulaski, Ga .. received their final pay, and was disbanded at Hart's Island, N. Y. harbor, May 4, 1865, having seen more than 3 years' hard service, and achieved a brilliant record.

FOURTEENTH REG'T INFANTRY.
This regiment was the first organized under the call for 300,000 men. It was recruited from the State at large; and left Hartford for Washington Aug. 25, 1869, 1015 men. Without being allowed time for instruction it was ordered forward, and took part in the hard-fought battle of Antietam, meeting with an aggregate loss of 137 men. It was also engaged in the battle of Fredericksburg, sustaining an aggregate loss of 122 men. At this time it had become terribly reduced, numbering scarcely 375 effective men. May 1st, 2d, and 3d it was actively engaged with the enemy at Chancellorville, with a loss of 56. Major Ellis, commanding the regiment, reports that on the morn. ing of the 3d the strength of the command was 219.
It was again engaged at Gettysburg, Pa., July 2d and 3d, and sustained a loss of 66. Major Ellis spoke in the highest terms of the action of the regi- ment in this battle. mentioning the capture of five regimental battle flags and over 40 prisoners, by a portion of his command which charged the enemy. Four Rebel officers surrendered themselves personally to Major Ellis. This was one of the most trying battles in which the Fourteenth was engaged.
July 14th it was engaged with the enemy at Falling Waters, and again, Oct. 14th, at Auburn, Va. On the latter named day it was also engaged at Bristol Station, losing 26 killed, wounded, and missing.
Oct. 17th it engaged the enemy at Blackburn's Ford, and on the 29th of Nov. following, at Mine Run, losing 14 wounded and captured. On Dec. 2d it returned to its old camp at Mountain Run, accomplishing a march of 45 miles during the 24 hours.
Feb. 6, 1864, it bad a hand to hand fight, some of the Fourteenth using its bayonets upon the enemy, and sustaining a loss of 115 in killed, wounded, and missing.
From May, 1864, to Aug. 25th the regiment was engaged in the battles of the Wilderness, Laurel Hill, Spottsylvania, North Anna River, Tolopotomay, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Deep Bottom, and Ream's Station, Va., and sus- tained a total of 256 casualties. Col. Ellis reports that both officers and men met fatigue and exposure cheerfully, and bearing without complaint all the hardships they had been called upon to endure.
Oct. 27th the regiment was in action at Boydton Plank Road; total loss, 29. Feb. 5, 1865, it was again in battle at Hatcher's Run, Va., in which Lieut. Bartlett was killed and five men wounded.
As a closing scene in the drama the regiment was present at the battles of High Ridge and Farmville, Va., and was also present at the surrender of the Rebel army under Gen. Lee, thus being permitted to see the desired end accomplished, for which it had so loyally and gloriously struggled.
May 31, 1865, the brave old Fourteenth, numbering 234 officers and men, present and absent, was mustered out of the service, leaving a record of which they may well be proud.

FIFTEENTH REG'T INFANTRY.
This regiment was recruited at New Haven, in August, 1862. It left for Washington under command of Col. Dexter R. Wright, Aug. 28, 1862, 1022 officers and men.
Feb. 17, 1863, Col. Wright resigned his position by reason of disability, the command devolving upon Lieut .- Col. Samuel Tolles. Its first general engage- ment was the battle of Fredericksburg, Dec. 13, 1862, with a total loss of 10.
April 6, 1863, Col. Chas. L. Upham was appointed to the command of the regiment, vice Wright resigned.
During the month of April it was stationed at Suffolk, Va., during the siege by Longstreet, and was engaged in two reconnoisances. In the first. on the Edenton Road, April 24th, it sustained a loss of four. Again on the 3d of May following, it was engaged with the enemy on Providence Church Road, and met with a loss of six killed, wounded, and missing. The regiment was in the expedition of Gen. Dix up the Peninsula, performing some extremely arduous marches. It was engaged during a greater part of the fall and winter in working on the fortifications near Norfolk, Va.
Jan. 24, 1864, it left Portsmouth, Va., for Plymouth, N. C. While there, companies under Major Osborn, with a detachment of the 16th Conn. regiment, were sent on a night expedition to the neighborhood of Colraine, N. C., where they succeeded in destroying a large amount of commissary stores belonging to the enemy. Another force sent out under command of Lieut .- Col. Tolles, attacked the camp of the 62d Georgia regiment, destroying their camp equip- age, stores, etc. At the time of the demonstration on Newberne, the regiment was ordered to that place.
March 2, 1865, the regiment joined the forces marching against Goldsboro, N. C. March 7th it was engaged in skirmishing with the enemy at Jackson's Mills, and entrenched themselves during the night within a hundred yards of their works. On the 8th, while briskly engaged, the regiment was enveloped by a division of the enemy, who had gained their rear, and a large portion of the regiment were made prisoners.
Upon the occupation of Kinston by our forces the 15th was left as a part of the garrison, and was assigned to provost duty, which it did until the Rebel armies had surrendered or disbanded, and on June 6th it was ordered to New- berne to prepare for muster-out, which was done June 27, 1865, and it arrived in New Haven July 4th, receiving their final pay July 12, 1865.
Since its organization 595 recruits joined its ranks, making an aggregate of 1613.

SIXTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY.
This regiment was recruited at Hartford, in August, 1862, and left for Washington, D. C., under Col. Frank Beach, on the 29th of the same month.
Without having time allowed to learn even the rudiments of military science (many of its members having never loaded a gun), it was hurried for- ward, and took an active part in the terrible battle of Antietam. Although thus suddenly thrown into the vortex of battle, the men preserved a coolness and displayed a courage highly creditable, as was sufficiently well attested by the severe loss sustained. Among the wounded were Lieut .- Col. Frank Cheney and Major Washburn, both of whom were compelled to resign on account of the severity of their wounds.
Col. Beach, in his report, dated Sept. 19, 1802, remarks that "the enemy commenced shelling us at daylight, and we were kept under a heavy artillery fire at intervals during the day, until about five o'clock, when we were brought against the extreme right of the Rebel infantry, where the battle raged with great fury. That the Sixteenth did nobly is the verdict of all who witnessed its heroism on the battle-field of Antietam." Its aggregate loss in killed and wounded was 185.
The Sixteenth was with the other regiments of the Connecticut Brigade at Suffolk, Va., during the investment of that place by the enemy.
April 24, 1863, the regiment took part in the reconnaissance on the Edenton Road, and after a sharp skirmish with the enemy, the regiment charged and drove the enemy from their pits to their earth-works, and captured several prisoners, with a loss of one killed and seven wounded.
Sunday, May 3, 1863, the regiment was ordered across the Nansemond river, on the Providence Church road, where it was engaged with the enemy several hours. Its loss was two killed and eight wounded. Among the wounded were Capt. Chas. A. Tennant and Sergt. B. F. Blakeslee. Capt. Tennant died of his wounds, and Sergt. Blakeslee was left on the field for dead, having received a serious wound in his head, making the second one in the same place. He was subsequently taken from the field, and recovered to figlit in other battles.
June 16, 1863, it moved to Portsmouth, and on the 22d was engaged in the expedition under Gen. Dix, up the Peninsula. The marching was the most severe of any campaign in which it had engaged.
July 14th it returned to Portsmouth, and there remained until January, building fortifications and doing picket duty.
January 21, 1864, the regiment embarked for Plymouth, N. C., and on the 17th of April the enemy attacked Plymouth, and continued the assault until the 20th, when the town and all but one fort of the defenses having fallen into the hands of the enemy, the place was surrendered. Nearly the whole regiment was captured, and many of its members perished in the Rebel prisons of Andersonville and Florence. Company H was not with the regi- ment at the surrender of Plymouth, and consequently escaped capture. This company, with about 25 other members of the regiment, were stationed at Roanoke Island, where they remained until March 4, 1865, when they were ordered to Newberne, N. C., and June 24, 1865, the Sixteenth was mustered out of the service of the United States.
32
The colors of the regiment were torn from their standards at the capture of Plymouth, to prevent their falling into the hands of the enemy. Some few pieces were saved by its members, who concealed them about their persons, carried them through their prison lite, and brought them safely home. They have been put together as best they could be, and will attract attention on Battle Flag Day and at the Capitol. The remainder of the colors were burned.
Col. Burnham, in his report, dated the 10th of August, 1864, said, " While I have reason to express my satisfaction with the conduct of my entire com- mand, I deem it but just to mention Capt. Thos. F. Burke, Lieut. Landon, and Lieut. John B. Clapp, my adjutant, as coming under my immediate obser- vation in the performance of especial gallantry.'
. The regiment went out 1000 strong, and returned home 135 officers and men, which we believe to be the smallest number of any regiment that returned to the State.

SEVENTEENTH REG'T INFANTRY.
This regiment was organized in August, 1862, and left for Washington September 3, 1862, under command of Col. Wm. H. Noble, and was attached to the Army of the Potomac.
May 2, 1863, it participated in the battle of Chancellorsville, Va., and fully sustained the reputation of Connecticut troops for bravery and endurance, as is clearly exhibited in the long list of casualties. During the battle it was called upon to use the bayonet, and although driven from positions at differ- ent times while the fight was in progress, it is clearly set forth in the several official reports that had all performed their duty with the same degree of bravery and fidelity exhibited by the 17th, the result would have been less disastrous. Its loss was 120 inen killed, wounded, and missing.
July 1st to 4th it was engaged in the battle of Gettysburg, and again was it called upon to give up some of its bravest and best, its aggregate loss being 198 killed, wounded, and missing.
After a year's service in the Army of the Potomac, it was, in Aug. 1863, transferred to the Department of the South, and located at Folly Island. It was subsequently ordered to St. Augustine, Florida, and relieved the 10th Connecticut.
May 19th, Company B, which composed the picket posts at Welaka and Saunders, on the St. John river, was captured by the Rebels.
Lieut .- Col. Wilcoxson started from St. Augustine, Feb. 3, 1865, upon an expedition for the purpose of procuring some cotton belonging to a Rebel Colonel, which was stored near Dunn's Lake, nearly 75 miles distant; he succeeded in capturing the cotton, but after marching some seven miles upon his return, was attacked, wounded, and was taken prisoner with his com- mand; the loss was 36 in killed, wounded, and captured. The detachment was so suddenly attacked by such an overwhelming force that it could make but little show of resistance. Major Allen in his report remarks, "The brave young Chatfield fell, shot through and through the body. He was in the act of cutting his way through the Rebels when he received his mortal wound. He died as he had lived-a courageous soldier, and an honor to our State and country."
June 19, 1865, it was ordered to Jacksonville to await the arrival of detached companies, when it was to proceed to Hilton Head, S. C., for muster-out, which occurred July 9, 1865.
Thus ended the service of & regiment which, for courage and endurance, had no superior in the field.

EIGHTEENTH REG'T INFANTRY.
The 18th regiment was organized in August, and left Norwich for Washing- ton Aug. 22, 1862, and was assigned to the Army of the Potomac.
It performed guard duty at Baltimore until May 22, 1863, when it was ordered to the district of West Virginia. 1753482
June 13th, 14th, and 15th, it took an active part in the battle of Winchester, Va., and a large proportion of its officers and men were taken prisoners.
During the night of the 15th the order was given for the silent evacuation of Winchester. The 1st and 2d brigades commenced the retreat under cover of the darkness, but were intercepted by a superior force of the enemy and at once became engaged; after two charges by the brigades they were so badly broken that re-organization was impracticable. The 18th was reformed with some difficulty and charged the third time alone, but was immediately repulsed, with a loss of 30 killed and wounded. Major Peale with about 30 men suc- ceeded in making their escape in a body. Company D alone escaped intact, having left Winchester in charge of some prisoners. The total loss in this engagement was 567, in killed, wounded, and captured. The captured were soon exchanged and returned to the regiment then near Harper's Ferry.
