The regiment remained there until the 10th of April, when the army, having received a supply of provisions and clothing, which had been badly needed, marched in the direction of Smithfield, which place it reached the next day, Phenuntering a forer of' rebel cavalry on the road, which was swept ont of the way. While there, news was received of the surrender of the rebel den. Lee, with his army, at Appomattox Court House, which had oreurred on the 9th. Orders were received to have everything that would retard the march, and the army pushed on rapidly for Kaleigh, which place it reached on the 11th, Gen. .Johnston, in command of' the rebel army, was trying to retreat in the direction of Greensboro, when finding, that he was nearly surrounded and the chances of escape were hopeless, made overtures for surrender.
"The further movement of the army was suspended, pending negotiations, and on the With Johnston surrendered his entire army, and the war was virtu- ally ended. Soon after the One Hundred and Thirtieth marched to Greens- loro, and theure to Charlotte where it remained on guard duty until Drect- ber 2, 1865, when it was mastered out of the service and left for Indianapolis, where it arrived on the 13th, and was finally discharged, its members justly proved of the record they had made.

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SLCOND AND ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SINTH
The Governors of the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, lena and Wisconsin, having offered to raise for the service of the General Government a force of volun- teers to serve for one hundred days, Governor Morten, on the End of April, Istil issued his call for lodiana's proportion of that force. The troops thus raised were to perform such military services as might be required of them in any State, and were to be armed, subsisted, clothed and paid by the United States, but were not to receive any bounty. These trough were designed to aid in making the campaign of 1864 successful and decisive, by relieving a large member of veterans from garrison and guard duity, and allowing them to join their companions in arms, then about entering upon one of the most active and important campaigns of the war. Their places were filled by the one hundred- days mien, as liest as the latter could be organized into regiments and sent forward from the camp of rendezvous. The organizations from Indiana consisted of eight regiments, one numbered the One Hundred und Thirty- second, and one the One Hundred and Thirty-sixth.
The One Hundred and Thirty second Regiment was organized at Indianapolis, on the 17th of May. 1561, and mastered into the service of the United States, with Sammel (. Vance as Colonel, and was ordered at once in Tennessee.
The One Hundred and Thirty-sixth Regiment, was organized al Indian- apolis and mustered into the service of the United States on the 23d of May. 1861, and was immediately after ordered to proceed to Nashville, Tenn.
Each of these regiments, on arriving at Nashville, was assigned to duty, at different points along the Nashville & Chattanooga and Memphis & Charleston Railroads, and until the latter part of August were kept roustantly engaged in guarding those lines of communication, used by Gen. Shermon for the transportation of supplies to his army, then advancing on Atlanta.
The regiments each served beyond the period of its original enlistment, when they returned to Indianapolis, where they were finally discharged.
