The Seventeenth Regiment were enlisted under the call for nine months men, in the fall and winter of 1862-3. The officers were Henry O. Kent, Lancaster, Colonel ; Charles H. Long, Claremont, Lieut. Colonel ; George H. Bellows, Major; George A. Wain- wright, Hanover, Adjutant ; Edward H. Cummings, Quartermas-

ter ; James D. Folsom, Surgeon ; and George S. Barnes, Chaplain.
For some reason, never fully explained to the public, the Seven- teenth was never filled up, but the men who enlisted were consoli- dated with the Second New-Hampshire. The officers were mus- tered out April 16, 1863, being in the U. S. service over three months .*
The Eighteenth Regiment was organized at Concord, in the fall of 1864. The officers were Thomas L. Livermore, Milford, Colonel ; J. M. Clough, New London, Lieut. Colonel ; William I. Brown, Fisherville, Major ; George F. Hobbs, Wakefield, Adjutant ; Moses T. Cate, Wolfeborough, Quartermaster ; Samuel G. Dearborn, Surgeon ; and Anthony C. Hardy, Chaplain.
The Rebellion being nearly ended the Eighteenth did not see much service, but some companies did some hard fighting before Petersburg in the spring of 1865. If the war had continued, doubtless they would have been as good a regiment as there was in the service. Mustered out June 10, 1865.
The New-Hampshire Battalion First New England Cavalry .- The officers of this battalion were David B. Nelson, Manchester, Major ; George T. Crane, Adjutant.
This battalion did good service in the field, and was organized in the fall and winter of 1861-2, They were in the battles of Front Royal, Gettysburg, and many other skirmishes in their scout- ing expeditions.
In the fall of 1862 it was decided by the Governor and Council to raise three regiments, viz., the Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth, each regiment to be raiscd from the respective Congressional districts, the Seventeenth com- ing in the Third district. The records of the Adjutant General's office show that more than the requisite number of men, in the third district, had been raised to fill this regiment ; but the other districts failed to respond in full, and the volunteers for the Seventeenth were, by the Adjutant General, placed in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth, or enough to fill them up agreeably to the army regulation. It having been deemed unadvisable, by Gov. Berry, to execute the State drafting law, there was no way remaining, in the opinion of the Sec- retary of War, but to consolidate the Seventeenth with some other regiment, and the volunteers were ordered home for that purp e.
It is due the officers of the Seventeenth to say that the failure to fill the regi- ment, after its depletion to fill the Fifteenth and Sixteenth, was in no wise attributable to them, and that they used every exertion that the regiment be accepted for service, as a detachment, or otherwise. A special order from the Governor, was issued, complimentary to the officers for the degree of excel- lence manifested by the regiment in drill and discipline.

NEW-HAMPSHIRE GAZETTEER.
.The First Regiment New-Hampshire Cavalry was organized at Concord in the winter and spring of 1864.
The officers were John L. Thompson, Plymouth, Colonel; Ben- jamin T. Hutchins, Concord, Lieut. Colonel ; Aaron Wyman, Man- chester, Major ; George W. Towle, Hooksett, Quartermaster ; George W. Pierce, Winchester, Surgeon.
This Cavalry regiment, for the time they were in the field, did much hard service. They were at Reams' Station, Winchester, Kerneysville, Waynesboro, Kelley's Ford, Lacy Springs, and in many skirmishes, where they lost many men in killed, wounded and taken prisoners. In Andersonville Prison, Ga., twenty-eight men from this regiment died, and seven are reported as dying from starvation. The larger portion of the regiment were mustered out of service July 15, 1865.
The First New-Hamsphire Battery was organized at Manches- ter, in August, 1861. The officers were George A. Gerrish, Captain ; Edward H. Hobbs, First Lieutenant ; and John Wadleigh, Second Lieutenant.
The First Battery left Manchester, for Washington, October 31st, 1861. They went into the Camp of Instruction and remained one week, when they were assigned to the Army of the Potomac. They participated in nearly all of the principal battles in Virginia. They were in the second battle of Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericks- burg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Spottsylvania, North Anna River, Cold Harbor, and nearly all of the battles around Richmond. Part were mustered out of service Sept. 25, 1864, and part were transferred to the New-Hampshire Heavy Ar- tillery.
The " First Regiment New-Hampshire Heavy Artillery" was organ- ized by companies, at different dates, from July 22, 1863, to October 21, 1864, when it was formed into a Regiment of twelve com- panies. The officers were Charles H. Long, Claremont, Colonel ; Ira Mc'L. Barton, Newport, Lieutenant Colonel; George A. Wain- wright, Hanover, Major; Ezekiel Morrill, Concord, Surgeon and C. W. Walker, Stratford, Chaplain.
This regiment performed guard and garrison duty at the Forts in Portsmouth Harbor and around the defences at Washington in detachments. It was a fine regiment, nearly all of its members having seen active service in the field. But the war happily closed and they had no chance to exhibit their veteran valor. They were mustered out of service, June 15, 1865.

" U. S. SHARP SHOOTERS."
New-Hampshire furnished three companies for this service; Cos. "E" "F" & "G". The history of the Sharp Shooters has received less than its share of public notice, for the reason they were not connected with any State military organization, but were raised as United States Sharp Shooters, and were represented by nearly every State in the Union.
The officers of Co. "B" First U. S. regiment were Amos B. Jones, Washington, Captain ; William P. Austin, Claremont, First Lieutenant, and William H. Gibbs, Hanover, Second Lieutenant. The officers from this State, of the Second regiment, were Edward T. Rowell, Concord, Major ; George A. Marden, Mount Vernon, Quartermaster, and William B. Raynolds, Surgeon. The officers of Co. "F", Henry M. Caldwell, Captain ; James H. Hildreth, First Lieutenant ; Edward T. Rowell, Second Lieutenant. Co. "G", William D. Mc'Pherson, Captain ; John A. Moore, First Lieuten- ant ; and Edward Dow, Second Lieutenant.
Co. "E" was mustered into the service of the United States, Sept. 9, 1861. Their principal duties were on skirmish line and heavy picket duty. Companies " F" and " G" were respectively mustered Nov. 28 and Dec. 10, 1861. These companies were in over thirty battles, and generally in dangerous positions. Mechan- icsville, Gains' Mills, Malvern Hill, Second Bull Run, Fredericks- burg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Cold Harbor, Weldon Railroad and Deep Bottom were some of the principal battles they were in.
The " National Guards" were mustered into the U. S. service for sixty days, for guard duty at Fort Constitution. This company was mustered in May 9, 1864. The officers were James O. Chand- ler, Manchester, Captain ; James R. Carr, Manchester, First Lieu- tenant, James G. Burns, Second Lieutenant.
The " Martin Guards" were mustered into the service of the Unit- ed States for ninety days, July 25, 1864, for garrison duty at Fort Constitution. The officers were George E. Houghton, Manchester, Captain ; James L. Bailey, Manchester, First Lieutenant, John E. Johnson, Manchester, Second Lieutenant.
Lafayette Artillery were mustered into U. S. service for ninety days, August 1, 1864, for garrison duty at Fort Constitution. The officers were John H. Tarbell, Lyndeborough, Captain ; Eli C. Cur- tis, Lyndeborough, First Lieutenant, Charles H. Holt, Lyndebor- ough Second Lieutenant.

NEW-HAMPSHIRE GAZETTEER.
Unattached company of New-Hampshire Volunteers-stationed at Fort Constitution and mustered into service, May 15, 1862. The officers were James Davidson, Captain ; James B. Gove, Concord, First Lieutenant, and Asa T. Hutchinson, Manchester, Second Lieutenant.
"SECOND BRIGADE BAND."
This Band was organized at Concord, and mustered into service Feburary 10, 1863.
The names of the members were Gustavus W. Ingalls, Concord, Band Master: Musicians, Albert Aspenwall, Lebanon ; James Allison, Concord; Samuel F. Brown, Fisherville; Freman D. Batchelder, Concord; George W. Boody, Strafford ; Lorenzo M. Currier, Fisherville; Cyrus C. Currier, Concord ; John O. Davis, New Market ; Albert G. Furber, New Market; Nathan W. Gove, Concord ; Frederick Hoffman, Concord; Andrew L. Lane, Con- cord; Jonathan C. Lane, Concord; George C. Perkins, Lebanon ; Phinehas Parkhurst, Templeton Ms .; Francis H. Pike, Manchester ; Warren S. Russell, Amherst; Henry Stark, Goffstown; David F. Thompson, Amherst ; Charles N. Tottingham, Keene, and Samuel D. Trussell, Concord.
They were stationed at Hilton Head, S. C. and sustained a high reputation with their commanding officers. We herewith append a short extract from W. T. M. Burger, Assistant Adjutant General in that Department. "I'can assure you, that you and every mem-
, ber of your Band, stands in the highest estimation of every one in this Department from Major General Gilmore down. Your loss is deeply regretted and by none more than myself. We never expect to see such another as Ingall's Post Band here again." They were mustered out, July 4, 1865.
The larger portion of information in relation to enlistments and movements of the various military organizations in the State, which served in the late rebellion, we obtained in the Adjutant's General's Office.
Too much praise cannot be accorded to General Natt Head, seconded by Governor Frederick Smyth, for efforts to secure an accurate record of all the regiments in the State, which served in the war. To a great extent, they accomplished what they undertook.
In the commencement of the rebellion, officers who had charge of organizing the regiments in various sections of the State, appa- rently did not comprehend the magnitude of the war, or the fu-

ture necessity of keeping a careful record of the names of all the soldiers, and, especially, the names of their places of residence, at the time of enlistment, and apparently forgetting that there might be more than one John Brown in the State. Up to 1862, the recor 1, as to place of residence, was very imperfect.
General Head, upon assuming the office as Adjutant General of New-Hampshire, in March, 1864, immediately set himself to work to remedy, as far as could be, this imperfect record, which may be of vast importance to many widows, twenty-five or even fifty years hence. General Head's version of the office, at the time he as- sumed its duties, will give a more correct idea how the records had been kept. He says: "No record whatever existed of thou- sands of New-Hampshire's bravest sons who had entered the service of the United States, in their country's hour of peril, determined to sustain the national government, to defend our flag, to defend the principles of liberty and justice, and to perpetuate those free in- stitutions which are dear to the heart of every true American. Hundreds of New-Hampshire's noble men, of whose names, even, there was no record within our State, had yielded up their lives upon the field of battle. Hundreds again had been honorably dis- charged from the service, and returned to their homes with bodies maimed and constitutions shattered, and yet the State possessed no record by which justice and honor could be rendered these brave men."
The military records of our soldiers who served our country, are to-day, as complete as in the War Department at Washington, and Gen. Head has been complimented from that Department, that New-Hampshire had the best record of enlisted men, of any State in the Union. This nearly perfect record, in the Adjutant Gen- eral's office of our State, has been accomplished through the untir- ing energy of Gen. Head, and when our soldiers fully understand the necessity of an accurate record of their enlistment, and of their services in the field, they will render to him the full credit to which he is rightfully entitled.
The busy quiet to be seen in our fields, our work shops and our mercantile streets, would hardly lead any one to believe that our country, from centre to circumference, less than nine years ago, re- sounded with the clash of arms, and many of New-Hampshire's sons were engaged in deadly conflict, to sustain the free institutions which to-day we are so peacefully enjoying. But truth, apparently, in this case, seems a fiction.

* The column in the table relative to the number of soldiers killed, or who died through the effects of the Rebellion, is not as perfect as we could have wished ; but many of the town clerks failed to see the importance of this val- uable table; or refused to trouble themselves a few hours with some citizen of their respective towns who was well acquainted with the people. Memory, by age, does not freshen, and fifty years hence, there will not be a column within the lids of this book as important and valuable as this table referring to the number of soldiers who sacrificed their lives to maintain and perpetuate the Union. One hundred and forty-one towns responded to this question, and enough to show that fully twenty per cent. of those enlisted in the call of 1862, and subsequent calls, were killed or died from the effects of the war. Many men died from disease, contracted in the service, after they were dis- charged, consequently no military record could be given.
+ In 1871, the State assumed a certain portion of the town debts incurred by the war of the Rebellion, and the above column shows the amount award- ed to each town.
