CHAPTER XXVIII.
OTSEGO IN THE REBELLION.
Third Regiment of Cavalry-Sixth Cavalry Regiment.
THE 3d Regiment of Cavalry, otherwise known as the " Van Alen Cavalry," was organized at New York city, to serve for three years. The companies of which it was composed were raised principally in the counties of Albany, Schoharie, Chemung, Delaware, Queida, Onondaga, Orleans, Otsego, and Monroe. It was mustered into the service of the United States from July 17 to Aug. 27, 1861.
The following were the regimental officers : colonel, James Van Alen ; lieutenant-colonel, Simon H. Mix ; major, John Mix ; surgeon, William H. Palmer; assistant surgeon. Frederick Douglass ; chaplain, Ebenezer G. Townsend ; adjutant, Samuel G. Pieree; sergeant-major, Collins Ches- brough ; quartermaster's sergeant, John M. Ruliffson.
The regiment left for the front during the fall, and late in the season, after performing considerable picket duty. went into eamp at Poolesville. Here they passed the winter in picketing and scouting, and early in March, 1862. broke
camp and marched to Harper's Ferry, where they crossed the Potomac and proceeded to Perryville. Major Mix, with a battalion, had entered this place March 7, coming upon the rear-guard of the enemy as they were evacuating it. About this period several charges on the enemy were made by various portions of the regiment, in which they were snecessful. One was made during Banks' advance from Winchester, and another by a platoon under command nf Adj. Geo. E. Gonrand and Lieut. Chesboro, near Newtown. April 8, Col. Van Alen resigned, and was succeeded in the command of the regiment by Col. Mix.
On April 20 the regiment arrived at Washington, and soon after proceeded to Newbern, North Carolina. Dec. 11.

HISTORY OF OTSEGO COUNTY, NEW YORK.
General Foster left Newhern on an expedition to Goldsboro' and Weldon, the 3d Cavalry comprising part of his force and occupying the important position of advance guard. The force moved up the Trent river road a distance of ten miles, where they bivouacked for the night. At sunrise on the following day the march was resumed, and at night they encamped in line of battle eleven miles distant from Kingston. The line of march was taken up on the follow- ing morning, the 3d keeping up a ceaseless round of skir- mishing with the enemy, in clearing the way for advance. When within seven miles from Kingston, at the junction of the Whitehall and main Kingston roads, they met the enemy in force. A spirited contest ensued, the cavalry drove the encmy from his position, and the infantry, charging, captured the rebel battery. The march was immediately resumed, and at nightfall they halted three miles from Kingston. At daybreak next morning the advance was continued, and when within two miles from Kingston they came to the rebel picket line, which was forced back to the breastworks, where they found six thousand of the enemy under com- mand of Gen. Evans. The Union forces opened the fight, and after a sharply-contested struggle the enemy was driven from his position, and lost 400 prisoners and 11 guns. In an almost hand to-hand contest the 3d routed and drove from the field the 2d North Carolina Cavalry.
