mand of Col. Withington won the honors of a campaign. This regiment was the first of the new organizations to leave the State under the call of the President for volunteers. It was in rendez- vous at Detroit, whence it moved Aug. 27, on its route to Wash- ington, with a force of 982 officers and enlisted men. It was sent immediately into the Maryland campaign, under Gen. MeClellan, and in little more than two weeks after it left the State, was fiercely engaged in the hotly contested action of South Mountain, whence it emerged with a loss of 27 killed and 114 wounded. Three days afterward, at Antietam, it was again in battle, sus- taining a further loss of 18 killed and 87 wounded. The next day it was in the front, skirmishing with the retreating enemy, and had one man killed. On the 30th November, 1862, its casualties had been, 65 dead, 201 wounded and two missing.
Its aggregate on that date was 765, present and absent. It was in General Burns' Division of the 9th corps of the army of the Potomac. The list of officers then was as follows:

General Wilcox, in his report of the battle of South Mountain, said :
"I planted a section of Cook's battery near the turn of the Sharpsburg road, and opened fire on the enemy's battery across the main pike. After a few good shots, the enemy unmasked a battery on his left, over Shiver's Gap, from a small field encircled by woods. He threw canister and shell, and drove Cook's cannon- eers and drivers down the road with their timbers. Cook remained with the guns. The attack was so sudden, the whole division be- ing under fire-a flank fire-that a temporary panic ensued, until I caused the 79th New York, Lieut .- Col. Morrison, and the 17th Michigan, Col. Withington, on the extreme left, to draw across the road facing the enemy, who were so close that we ex- pected a charge to take Cook's battery. The 79th and 17th here deserve credit for their coolness and firmness in rallying and changing front under a heavy fire.

G. Collins Lyon, Major, “

HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY.
" I received orders from Gens. Reno and Mcclellan to silence the enemy's batteries at all hazards. Sent picket report to Reno, and was making disposition to charge, moving the 17th Michigan so as to cross the hollow and flank the enemy's guns, when the enemy charged out of the woods, on their side, directly upon our front, in a long, heavy line, extending beyond our left to Cox's right. I instantly gave the command, 'Forward !' and we met them near the foot of the hill, the 45th Pennsylvania in front. The 17th Michigan rushed down into the hollow, faced to the left, leaped over a stone fence and took them in flank. Some of the supporting regiments, over the slope of the hill, fired over the heads of those in front, and after a severe contest of some minutes the enemy was repulsed, followed by our troops to the opposite slope and woods, forming their own position. The 17th Michigan, under Col Withington, performed a feat that may vie with any re- corded in the annals of war, and set an example to the oldest troops."
South Mountain would have proven a rebel household word had not the 17th Regiment been there. It is unnecessary to dwell at any length on the brave command. So general was the esteem in which Col. Withington's military prowess was held that the poem delivered on Class Day before the University of Michigan bore the following dedicatory page :
"To Col. William H. Withington, of the 17th Michigan In- fantry, whose bravery in the charge of the 'Stonewall Regiment' at South Mountain, and in the battle of Antietam made him the pride of his men, and whose sterling qualities of mind and heart endeared him alike to all, these lines are respectfully inscribed by the author." It was written by Gabriel Campbell, A. B., of the University, and for a time a captain in the 17th Mich. Vol. Inf. It portrays the shifting scenery of the battle-field very well, and essays fairly to paint the ardor and unconquerable bravery of the colonel and his command. In the verses devoted to the descrip- tion of South Mountain, and the gallant part taken by the 17th in the battle of that name, the poet deals justly by his subject, and treats the history of the affair with a prosaic precision :
SOUTH MOUNTAIN.
A sultry, dull, September, Sabbath morn Woke us unrested-much inclined to scorn
The unwelcome bugle. Five weary days We've toiled beneath the overpowering blaze Of yonder Southern sun, Five weary nights We've marched across the thirsty plains and heights Of cheerless Maryland; and still we go, Undaunted, to dislodge the haughty foe. Toil makes our scanty breakfast relish well ;
But e'er 'tis ended, hasty tidings tell That Lee has made a stand. Burnside is mounted-
A smile upon his noble face. Recounted Are the orders. We, his first brigade,
Will take the left, cross the contested glade
And carry Turner's Gap. Then comes "Fall in." The word is whispered down the line, "Fall in,"
364
HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY.
Quick rations are finished, and rammers are sprung, And waist-belts are buckled, and knapsacks are slung; As soon all are marshaled and fearlessly stand Awaiting impatient the word of command. 'Tis given. As quick as the word they face And advance by the flank-every man in his place. The old starry flag waves proudly and high, So fondly caressed by the soft autumn sky ; While the eagle, extending his wings on the air, Seemed to whisper of victory hovering there. The low, rumbling sounds that rise on the ear Inspire to valor, yet waken to fear,
As louder and nearer with pondrous roll The death knells of Orcus toll-toll- - toll. We reach the hill-top, and fearfully riven South Mountain before us aspires to heaven, While round his huge head incessant is curled The smoke of those cannon that quiver the world- Those traitorous cannon 1 Their air-rending shells, With echoing voice, a monody swells In dirges forlorn. With demon-like sound They crash in the air or recoil to the ground. But just as we reach the foot of the mount. Their batteries cease. Oh, who can recount The pleasure it gave? We seek to ascend The steep. narrow way to the summit, and bend To the task 'neath the scorching noon. While down Roll streams from our cheeks flushed, dusty and brown.
But what a fearful spectacle Appalls the soldier's eye- They enfilade our rising flank With masked artillery. They charge our battery, seize our guns, And wheel them half around, And pour a withering volley forth, That mows scores to the ground.
Up gallops gallant Wilcox Who led our foremost van, And shouts as he approaches us : " Is this my Michigan ? Form into line." The word-'tis done. See, every man looks pale. A few lie silent at our feet, Who ne'er will tell the tale.
The Seventeenth Michigan stands firm- Unflinching mid the roar ; Her ensign waves the stars and stripes,- Ne'er loved so much before. " Forward." We march. Up-upward still- We're almost at the height ;- When Oh! a double-shotted fire Annihilates our sight.
Down drop we to the earth and cling And kiss the mother sod : And every heart with one accord Resigns its fate to God.
365
HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY.
Oh what a shrine to worship at ! Amid the shot and shell And smoke that seemed to bear aloft The souls of those that fell ; And as it bore each patriot up, Clothed in unstained renown, We almost saw the angel stand And greet him with a crown.
At length the voice of Withington Makes every heart enlarge. Up-springing at the welcome word, We rally for the " Charge." Sudden from right to left arose A wild unearthly yell, As on the foremost rebel line, Like maddened wolves we fell.
Back driven from their firm stockades, They rush with hideous groan, And rally, with redoubled strength, Behind a wall of stone. On comes the line of Michigan,- With bristling hayonet all; Three volleys and a charge! Great God ! It clearly scales the wall.
They rally yet,-and yet again- Fiendish mid reeking blood ! Nor rebel steel nor walls of stone Can check the loyal flood ;- But just as o'er that mountain top, Reflects the setting sun, Our victor shouts sent heavenward Proclaim the hattle won.
Back, o'er the heaps of mangled men, We move as shuts the day, And there recline upon our arms, To watch the night away ; And as to heaven's calm, peaceful vault, We turn the weary eye, We feel that we have struck one blow For Gop and LIBERTY.
The following list of battles and skirmishes, comprising no less than the names of 30 well-fought fields, is in itself a hitsory of the regiment :
