IN round numbers, the total number of officers and men in the regiment who were sworn into the United States service, was : For two years, about. 900
" three " 600 - 1,500
Of the above there were-

300 1,500
Of the two years' men who came home with the regiment, about 100 bore the scars of wounds, and had been in hospital on account thereof, for periods of from four to ten months. There were only about So men out of the 900 who were in every engage- ment, and had not been absent from the regiment on account of sickness or wounds during the two years' service. All of these, with very few exceptions, had received from one to seven balls through their clothing, or had received shaves, not, however, seri- ous enough to be classed as wounds.

Statistics.
A number of the two years' men re-enlisted, or served as officers in the 5th Veterans, or in other organizations, many of whom were killed, died, or were disabled from wounds or sickness.
There were three regiments organized by the officers of the old Fifth, besides the parent organization, viz. : The 5th Veterans ; the 165th New York; and the 2d New York, Harris' Light Cav- alry. Of the 237 men transferred to the 146th New York, a large proportion of them were killed or wounded in their after service, in various campaigns of the Army of the Potomac-Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, or front of Petersburg.
On the 6th day of July, 1861, twenty-six men enlisted in the Fifth for three years. When the regiment left the front, those who remained of these men, were transferred, with others, to the 146th Regiment, to serve out the remainder of their time. On the 6th day of July, 1864, only one of the 26 remained in the service to be mustered out. His name was James W. Webb, formerly of Company F, 5th New York. His companion who remained of the twenty-six, Christian Neuber, was wounded the day before, in front of Petersburg.
The average age of the men enlisted in the Fifth was not quite twenty-three years ; of the officers, about twenty-seven.

List of Members of the Fifth Regiment who lost their lives during the War after the muster out of the original regiment. The list is not complete, owing to the impossibility of ascertaining the various organizations in which many of our Members re-enlisted.

The number of members of the Fifth Regiment who were killed, wounded, or died in the service during the war was over 700, or about 50 per cent. of their total number.
" Several went abroad and served in foreign armies. Of whom, one served as an officer in the English army, another in Turkey, two in Mexico, and one was killed under the French flag during the late war with Germany. In the city our number is small, and, though many efforty have been made to perfect an organization, we have failed for want of numbers. Though we still have Generals Duryce, Warren. Davies, Kilpatrick, and Colonel Hiram Duryea, we have lost since the war many brave hearts, who have gone to join their com- rades who died in uniform.'

PERSONAL SKETCHES.
COLONEL ABRAM DURYÉE.
COLONEL ABRAM DURYÉE, late commander of the Seventh Regiment, National Guard, was born in the city of New York in 1815. He descended from a French Huguenot family, who came to America on the revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Louis XIV. of France, in 1685.
He engaged in mercantile business in New York, in which pursuit he met with honorable success and realized a fortune.
He commenced his military career, at the early age of eighteen years, as a private in the One Hundred and Forty-second Militia, and subsequently served in the ranks of one of the companies of the National Guard-then Twenty-seventh Regiment-September, 1838 ; and after passing through all the different grades of the non-commissioned officers with distinction, he obtained a Second Lieutenant's commission on the 21st of February, 1840, and was promoted on the 4th of October, 1841, to the First Lieutenancy, and on January 16, 1844, he was elected to the post of Captain. On the 22d of September, 1845, he was elected a field officer, with the rank of Major. On November 24th of the same year he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, and on January 29, 1849, he succeeded to the command of the regiment, with the rank of Colonel.
Like many eminent men, he has achieved distinction by his skill, perseverance, untiring energy, and strict attention to his duties, until he ascended from the lowest to a high rank as a military commander, an I the acknowledged chief of the first volunteer regiment in the country.
The present enviable reputation of the National Guard is owing, in a great degree, to his ability and exertion as an officer.

He determined to place the regiment in the front rank from the moment he was placed in command. While stern and exacting as a disciplinarian, he was affable, modest, and kind-hearted in his social intercourse. At the head of his regiment, he was always the soldier, but never forgetting the relative position and standing of the men under his command. The possession of these traits of character secured the attachment of the members of his regi- ment. The proof of his decision of character, and to what extent he possessed the affection of the men, was illustrated in that unfortunate and ever-to-be-remembered bloody riot at the Astor Place Opera House, on the occasion of Mr. Macready's appear- ance. When the turmoil was at its height, missiles were thrown at his command, and his men fell wounded in all directions around him. A shout was raised by the law-and-order party for them to fire, as it would be impossible for the military to retain their position longer unless something of a determined and defen- sive character was done. But the authorities held back. in the hope of being able to restore peace and quiet without bloodshed. The Colonel, knowing that he had no authority to act in the premises without orders from his superiors in command (Generals Sandford and Hall), was observed walking up and down in front of his regiment, encouraging his men ; and while doing so, he was struck twice in quick succession, by stones thrown from the crowd. His men, observing the imminent danger he was in, shouted to him to fall in the rear of his regiment; but, instead of this, he renewed his efforts of encouraging his command to be patient, until he was compelled to fall in the rear by the order given by the sheriff to fire. This forbearance on the part of himself and his men was very praiseworthy, and will never be forgotten by those who witnessed the exciting scene on that remarkable night. He had been on duty in all the riots for the twenty years last preceding the great civil war, and was particu- larly instrumental in subduing the police and "Dead Rabbit" riots of July, 1857. He also commanded his regiment on two expeditions to Boston, and drilled on the Common of that city with great success, in presence of a large number of distinguished persons, and thousands of its inhabitants. He was also the con :- manding officer at Camp Trumbull, New Haven ; Camp Worth,
