Sirth Infantry Regiment. - This was organized at Portland and mustered into the national service July 15, 1861, with Abner Knowles, colonel ; Hiram Burnham, lieutenant-colonel; Frank Pierce, major. This regiment was largely composed of stalwart lumbermen. It went to the Army of the Potomac, was in ten general engagements and innumerable skirmishes; in three battles it led the attack and left half its number lying on the field. It won a reputation for unflinching courage and bravery which caused its selection for especially dangerous service. Colonel Knowles resigned his commission December 11, 1861, and was succeeded by Colonel Burnham. Captain Charles H. Chandler, of Company A, was made lieutenant-colonel, and Captain Benjamin F. Harris, of Company C, major. Chandler resigned March 9, 1863, and Harris became lieutenant-colonel, the major being Major Joel A. Haycock, killed at Fred- ericksburg, May 3, 1863. He was succeeded May 28, 1863, by Major George Fuller. Colonel Burnham was promoted to brigadier-general, and Major Fuller became lieutenant-colonel, and Captain Theodore Lincoln, Jr, of Company F, major. General Burnham was killed at Chapin's Bluff, September 28, 1864. The regiment was mustered out at Portland, August 15, 1864, and the veterans and recruits transferred to the Seventh Maine. Eben W. Foster, of Company H, was from Lewiston, and M. V. B. Gilmore, of Company I, was from Turner. He died November 25, 1862.
Seventh Infantry Regiment .- This was raised throughout the state. At its organization, August 21, 1861, Edwin C. Mason, of Portland, was colonel ; Selden Connor, of Fairfield, lieutenant-colonel ; Thomas W. Hyde, of Bath, major; Elijah D. Johnson, of Lewiston, adjutant; William L. Haskell, of Poland, first lieutenant of Company B; John B. Cook, of Lewiston, second

lieutenant of Company K. The regiment left the state August 23, and arrived in Baltimore, August 25. While here the Union ladies of the city presented it with a fine stand of colors. September 5, Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas H. Marshall, of the Fourth Maine, was appointed colonel, but died October 25, the day his regiment left for Washington. His earnest character and sterling worth had endeared him to all associated with him. In November, the Seventh joined the Army of the Potomac, and on the tenth Colonel Mason took command. This regiment was in many memorable battles, and its soldiers were honored by the personal thanks of General McClellan for bravery and good conduct at Williamsburg, in these words : " You and your comrades arrested the progress of the advancing enemy, saved the army from a disgraceful defeat, and turned the tide of victory in our favor." The Seventh gained glory at Yorktown, Williamsburg, Mechanics- ville, Golding's Farm, White Oak Swamp, Crampton's Pass, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Wilderness, and Spottsylvania. Its numbers were so materially decimated by battle and disease that in October, 1862, it was sent home to recruit. January 25, 1863, it rejoined its old command. December 1, 1863, Lieutenant-Colonel Connor was commissioned colonel of the Nineteenth, and Major Hyde promoted to colonel, and Captain James P. Joues promoted to the majority December 29, 1863. After many sieges, marches, and battles, the Seventh returned to Augusta, and September 5, 1864, those soldiers whose term of service had expired were mustered out and the others consolidated with the Fifth and Sixth to form the First Veteran Infantry.

Eighth Maine Infantry .- This regiment was organized at Augusta, Septem- ber 7, 1861. Lee Strickland, a patriotic and loyal citizen of Livermore, raised a company and was elected colonel; John D. Rust, of Camden, was lieutenant- colonel; Joseph S. Rice, of Ellsworth, major; James Dingley, Jr, of Auburn, adjutant; William H. Timberlake, of Livermore, second lieutenant of Company C. The regiment left the state September 10, and reported to Brigadier-General E. L. Viele, at Long Island, N. Y. December 14, Colonel Strickland resigned, on account of ill health, and Lieutenant-Colonel Rust was commissioned colonel. February 14, 1862, five companies were ordered to Dawfuski Island, S. C., and May 1, Colonel Rust was ordered to report at Typee Island, about five miles distant. Here during the bombardment of Fort Pulaski the most exposed positions were assigned to Companies D, E, F, H, and I. The regiment was mostly employed until the spring of 1864 in guard duty in South Carolina and Florida, and suffered much from exposure. In the fall of 1862, when the first regiment of colored troops was raised, the men of the Eighth were warm espousers of their enlistment and nearly half of the line officers of the first regiment of colored troops were from the Eighth. In March, 1864, 316 vet- crans who had re-enlisted received a furlough of thirty days, and the others, numbering about one hundred and twenty, were mustered out at Augusta, September 15, 1864. This regiment actively participated in the bombardment of Fort Pulaski (one of its flags was the first to be raised over the fort after the surrender), siege of Charleston, Drury's Bluff, battle of Coal Harbor, Chapin's Farm, and many other engagements. The flag presented by Governor Hicks, of Maryland, in behalf of Mrs. Viele, was borne in all its battles. The officers and men of the Eighth were not excelled by any in the service for bravery and efficiency.

MILITARY AFFAIRS.
Colonel Rust was mustered out August 19, 1864, and Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Boynton became colonel, and February 26, 1865, tendered his resigna- tion, and was succeeded by Colonel William M. McArthur. In the United States Official Army Register it is stated that Lieutenant-Colonel E. W. Wood- man was discharged May 6, 1862, Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph F. Twitchell, April 18, 1863, Lieutenant-Colonel John Hemingway resigned February 16, 1864, and Edward A. True was commissioned lieutenant-colonel March 8, 1865.
The Eighth was mustered out of the United States service at Fort Munroe, January 18, 1866, and discharged at Augusta, January 25, 1866.

Ninth Infantry Regiment. - In less than two weeks from the arrival of the first company at Augusta, the Ninth was on its way to Washington, numbering over 1,000 men. It was mustered into United States service September 22, 1861, for three years, and started for the front on September 24. The field officers were Rishworth Rich of Portland, colonel; Colman Harding, of Gorham, lieutenant-colonel; Sabine Emery, of Eastport, major. None of the officers in the Ninth were from Androscoggin county. January 8, 1862, Lieutenant-Colonel Harding resigned, and Captain Horatio Bisbee, of Company I, was commissioned in his place. In the early part of 1863, Colonel Rich was dismissed and Lieutenant-Colonel Bisbee commissioned colonel, but March 19 he resigned, and Colonel Rich was reinstated. He resigned May 27, and Lieutenant-Colonel Emery was promoted to colonel, Major Zina H. Robinson becoming lieutenant-colonel, and Captain George F. Granger of Company A, major. Colonel Emery resigned May 25, 1864, and the other field officers were advanced. Colonel Robinson resigned August 16, 1864, and September 13 was succeeded by Colonel Granger, and Captain Robert J. Gray, of Company G, was promoted to lieutenant-colonel. He was killed in battle September 29, and October 10 Major Joseph Noble, originally captain of Company H, succeeded him, and Captain George B. Dyer of Company B became major.
The Ninth first saw service at Port Royal, S. C., and made a brilliant record in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. The glory of capturing Morris Island is entirely due to its bravery. August 25, 1863, General Gilmore sent the flags captured on this occasion from the Twenty-first South Carolina Confederate regiment by soldiers of the Ninth, to Governor Coburn, with a complimentary letter. In the abortive attacks on Fort Wagner, 317 men were reported killed, wounded, and missing. The original members, with the exception of the re-enlisted men, who numbered nearly 430, every man eligible to enlistment-eighty men -were mustered out September 27, 1864. After a furlough of thirty days in March, 1864, the Ninth was transferred to the Army of the Potomac, where it did gallant duty until its muster-out, July 13, 1865. Colonel Granger was brevetted brigadier-general, June 12, 1865.

HISTORY OF ANDROSCOGGIN COUNTY.
This regiment was in service in the Potomac and Shenandoah valleys, and from its splendid condition, discipline, and drill it was, it is said, mistaken for regular troops by Stonewall Jackson. It furnished many scouts. It participated fearlessly and well later in many of the hard-fought battles of the Army of the Potomac- Winchester, Cedar Mountain, Rappahannock, and Antietam bear testimony to its valor. Of the three hundred regiments composing the Army of the Potomac, the Tenth was one of eleven which received the commendation of General Hooker for showing a good inspection report. The two-years' men were mustered out May 7 and 8, 1863, and the Tenth Maine Battalion was formed from the three-year men, and November 1, 1863, it was transferred to the Twenty-ninth Regiment, joining it at Morganzia, Louisiana, after doing much severe marching along the Potomac and participating in the campaigns in Pennsylvania and Tennessee.
