FIRST ENGINEERS AND MECHANICS.
This Regiment left its rendezvous at Marshall on the 17th of December, 1861, for Louisville, with an aggregate force of 1032. Most of the varied service performed by it has been done by detachments, the Regiment having been more or less separated most of the time since it entered upon duty. One of these detachments, under General O. M. Mitchell, comprised the first Union troops to enter Bowling Green after its evacuation by the enemy; another was at the battle of Chaplain Hills. The Regiment has been employed in the repair or re-opening of railroads between Nashville and Chattanooga, Nashville and Columbia, Corinth and Decatur, Huntsville and Stevenson, and Memphis and Charleston, and has twice assisted in re-opening the road from Nashville to Louisville. During the month of June alone, it built seven bridges on the Memphis and Charles- ton railroad, each from 84 to 340 feet in length, (in the aggre- gate 2,758 feet,) and from 12 to 56 feet in height. After the battle of Pittsburg Landing it was engaged eight weeks in the construction of steamboat landings and crossings, with only one day's rest. The casualties to the 31st of October had been as follows:
Died of disease, . 75
" wounds received in action,

The aggregate, present and absent, Nov. 30, was 879. Serious difficulties have existed in the regiment, growing out of a mis- understanding as to pay of the men, it having been found after their organization that there was no law by which they could receive the pay which had been expected. This defect is now remedied, and it is reported, unofficially, that at the last muster of the Regiment, all present were paid to the first of November. The Regiment is now re-organized under a late act of Congress, allowing to it twelve companies of 150 men each to form three battallions, with a Major at the head of each. Half the men, ranking as artificers, receive pay at the rate of $17 per month, and the others draw regular Infantry pay, $13.
This Regiment is now at Edgefield, Tennessee, and reports directly to Gen. Rosecrans. Its officers are:
