Capt. Charles H. McCreery was in charge of a recruiting- station for the " veteran 8th." On the 8th of March they left again for the front, proceeding by way of Cincinnati to Annapolis, Md, to rejoin the 9th Corps, which had, after the regiment had left. Tennessee, been ordered East to rein- force the Army of the Potomac.
The 8th remained at Annapolis until April 23d, when it moved to Washington, and thence across the Potomac to Warrenton Junction. On the opening of the campaign of 1864 it moved with the army ou the 4th of May, crossed the Rapidan at Germania Ford on the 5th, and on the fol- lowing day was hotly engaged in the Wilderness, losing ninety-nine in killed, wounded, and missing. Among these was Col. Frank Graves, who was made prisoner by the enemy, and (as was reported) shot in cold blood because he applied the epithet " robber" to one of his captors who was taking his boots from his feet.
On the 8th of May the 8th marched over the old field of Chancellorsville, and on towards Spottsylvania Court- House, where, on the 12th, it took part in the assault on the enemy's intrenchments, losing forty-nine officers and men in the bloody work of that day. During the fight the corps commander, Gen. Burnside, rode up and called out to the regiment, " Boys, you must support this battery and hold the hill at all hazards, for it is the key to our safety," aud a moment later inquired what regiment it was. Col. Ely informed him. " Ah !" returned the general, " the 8th Michigan ! I know you. You'll hold it !" and rode away. The regiment crossed the Pamunkey River May 28th, and moved towards Bethesda Church, where, in the battle of June 3d, it gallantly charged and carried the enemy's rifle- pits, sustaining a loss of fifty-nine, killed, wounded, and miss- ing. On the 12th it was encamped near Mechanicsville, Va. The next day it crossed the Chickahominy, and on the 14th crossed the James River, from which point it moved by a forced march to the front of Petersburg, arriving there in the evening of the 16th. On the 17th and 18th it took part in the attacks on the enemy's works, losing forty-nine killed and wounded. For six weeks after that time it was constantly employed on the fortifications, under fire. In the fight at " the Crater," July 30th, it was engaged, losing thirteen killed and wounded. Soon after, it moved to the Weldon Railroad, and fought there in the action of August 19th, losing thirty in killed, wounded, and missing, among the killed being Maj. Horatio Belcher, of Flint. It was again engaged, with but slight loss, on the 21st; and on the 30th it took part in the battle of Poplar Grove Church, losing eight wounded.
The 8th remained near Peebles' Farm, engaged in forti- fying and picket duty, till November 29th, when it moved again to a position before Petersburg. It assisted in repuls- ing the enemy in his attack on Fort Steadman, March 25, 1865, and on the 2d of April was engaged in the attack on Fort Mahon, assisting in carrying the work, and being the first regiment to place its colors on the hostile ramparts. The next day it marched into Petersburg. After this it was em- ployed in guard duty on the South Side Railroad till the 20th, when it marched to City Point, and on the following day em- barked on transports and proceeded to Alexandria, Va., from which place it moved to Tenallytown, Md , on the 20th.

HISTORY OF GENESEE COUNTY, MICHIGAN.
moved into the city of Washington, May 9th, and was there engaged in guard and patrol duty until July 30, 1865, when it was mustered out of the service. Its strength when mus- tered out was six hundred and three officers and men, it hav- ing been quite largely augmented by recruits during the lat- ter part of its term of service. The regiment left Washington on the 1st of August, and on the 3d arrived at Detroit, where it was paid and disbanded, and the survivors of " the wan- dering regiment of Michigan" returned to their homes and the vocations of peaceful life. During its existence the regiment had moved over seven thousand miles, by land and sea, more than nineteen hundred men had marched in its ranks, and it had been engaged in thirty-seven battles and skirmishes, in seven different States of the Union.

* The pathetic story of this youth, who was mortally wounded nt Knoxville, was told by hundreds of newspapers in the North, under the heading of " The Drummer Boy of the Eighth Michigan Regiment." Its substance was as ful- lows : At the opening of the war Charles Howard Gardner was a schoolboy, thirteen and a half years of age, in the city of Flint. His father had enlisted under the first call of the President.
" Soon there came a call for three hundred thousand more, when Charley's teacher, Simon C. Guild, to whom he was much attached, joined the army, and Capt. Guild, knowing Charley's mu. ical ability, seconded his earnest entreaties that he might go with him as drummer, to which his mother, who had already given her husband, reluctantly consented, and Charley joined the Eighth Michigan Infantry.
" 3'he regiment was ordered to Port Royal, and on their way Charley met his father, and, forgetting mil. tary rule, he bruke from the ranks and ran to his father's arms. It was their last earthly meeting, as his father died the Novem- ber following. In a letter to his mother consuling her, he promised to send her all his money, which he did every pay-day. At the battle of James Island Capt. Guild fell. Now was Charley indeed bereaved. Through all battles, all marches, and all campaigns he kept with the regiment, often on short rations, without one word of complaint, only desiring to remain until the end of the war. At the siege of Knoxville a chance shot struck Charley in the shoulder and entered his lung." Then the narrative proceeds: " That his wound seemed to be doing well, and the surgeon reported him as fast recovering. Ilis mother was made happy by this announcement, and waited, hourly expecting h's re- inrn with his comrades on veteran furlough. But while she thus lovingly and impatiently awaited his cuming, there came instead the heart-breaking dispatch, 'The regiment has arrived, but Charley is dead.""-The story is taken from Moore's Rebellion Record.
