At the battle of Antietam (September 16th, lith) the 20th went into action with one hundred and thirty-five of- ficers and men, and lost, in killed and wounded, forty-nine, or over thirty-futr per centum.

After the Chancellorsville campaign, in which this regi- meut figured prominently, the months of May and June, 1863, were occupied mainly in desultory marches, in per- formning provost and picket duty, and in moving northward towards Pennsylvania, which was then threatened by the rebel advance. From Gen. Gates' recently published work we extract the following, as illustrating clearly the part taken by the 20th Regiment in the

BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG.

" Meredith's brigade pressed on through the woods and met the enemy on the westerly slope, moving cautiously towards the summit. Meredith's inen opened fire upon them at ones, and checked their nd- vance. Swinging his left forward, he enveloped the right flank of Archer's brigade, and captured nearly fifteen buwired officers and men, including Archer himself. This was a well-conductel and most gallant achievement. . . . Meantime, trouble had taken place on the east side of the railroad eut, on the extreme right of the infantry line. Davis' Confederate brigade advancel against the three right regiments of Cutler, and, findling the interval between him and Dev- en's cavalry, swung a regiment through, an I while he pressel Cutler's front also assailed him in flank an I rear. Cutler was freed back upon Seminary Ridge with heavy loss. This left Hall's battery on the pike, with its right wholly uncovered. The enemy dispatched the 24 and 42d Mississippi Regiments to cu ture it. They charged up the railroad-bell, firing as they came, killing inany of the horses and doing serious damage among the men. . . . Gen. Doubleday, sreing the disaster t, Cutler's right an l Hall's battery, now or.lered the 6th Wisconsin, 1th Brooklyn, and 25th New York to charge the Missis- sippians, who were holding the railroad-bel east of the pike. At

books and men. Hiseducation, begun here, was completed in Europe. When but seventeen years of age he traveled over the borger part of his own country, and a year later crossed the ocean and made the tour of the Continent. Ile ascended the Nile and spent much time ou its historie banks, especially studying the Arabic language, in which he became procent. Returning home in 1850, he was made captain in his father's regimen' of u.ilita, and assumed the duties of enshier of his father's bank at Pratt-viire. A few months later he again went to Europe with his sister: in 1950, when hut twenty years old, the First University of Mecklenburg conferred on him the ile- gree of Doctor of Philosophy. On attaining his majority his father gave him fifty thousan I dollars and one- half of the Samsonville tan- nery, the other half of which was owned by Gen. Samson, and from that time until P'ratt's death they continued partners. Biny $1. 1.55, young Pratt married M.s Anna Tillits, daughter of Benjamin Tilbits of Albany, N. Y. Soon thereafter he removed to Kingston, where he reside.I a few years, and then settle l upon a farin which he had purchased. on the banks of the Hutson, in Esopns. From the invent be took up his residence in Kingston be identified himself with the affairs of the county, and was foremost in all works of a public character. He was one of the founders and the first secretary of the " l'Ister County Historical Society," and particularly fond of historie study and research. In 1938-39 be represented Ulster County in the State Senate.

" Col. Pratt was a man of active and busy enterprise. He had the inspiration of a genius That works and accomplishes. He had the clements of a great man, which only failed tu ripen into eminence by the accident of his early death."2 " He was indeed, an embodiment of Shakespeare's conception of a finished man :

"' His years tint yonng. but his experience old ; His head muuuellowed, but his judgment ripe. Anlina word, Comple to in feature and in mind, With all good grave to grace a gentleman.'"+

them they dashed, pouring i heavy fire into their ranks as they ad- vanced. The rebels made a desperate defense, and the fighting for a few moments was very severe and deadly. Col. Dawes, of the 6th Wisconsin, now threw his right platoon on to and nero's the railroad- bed, from whenre they poured un enfilading and deeimaring fire into the left of the Mississippians. The pressure was too much for them, and they surrendered to our boys, who seut them and their colors to the rear. They also recovered the gun which Hall had been forced to abandon.

" These erents bad not occupied more than an hour from the time Wadsworth's division fired! its first gun, and the advantage was with the Federals. . . . The enemy had not yet developed any strength beyond Meredith's left, but the country was very favorable to cover the enneeutration of a large foree in that direction. . . . When Row- ley's brigade reached the ridge ou the west side of Willoughby Run, and in a piece of woods, it was halted and line of battle formed in the llagerstown roal, right towards Willoughby Run, the ' Ulster Guard' on the left. The brigadle then advanced. . . . When it reachel the foot of tho ridge east of Willoughby Run, it filed to the left and took position on the slope of the ridge aud nearly opposite the seminary, fueing west. Ten minutes liter the brigade was or- dered to a lvaner over the ridge and down into the ravine through which Willoughby Run Hows, the right of the brigade passing near the grove where Gen. Reynolds fell. Along the top of the ridge on the opposite side of the run was a fence, and the field beyond it was covered with grain, affording excellent shelter for the enemy's sharp- shooters, an I the field was alive with them. It is not probable that any one knew just why the brigade was sent down into that valley, ant it was soon orderel back over the rilge to the position from which it last marche l. The . Ulster Guard' was then directed to tike position ou the top of the ridge, whither it marched ond hattedl, remaining there in line of battle, and receiving an occasional shot from the grain-field beyond Willoughby Kun. Ten minutes later Gen. Wadsworth rode up to Col. Gates, and directed him to throw a company of his regiment into the house and outbuildings of K. Har- man, in a field on the farther sije of and some thirty rods beyond the rin. Col. Gates detached Capt. Ambrose N. Ballwin, K Com- pony, a mosi capable and courageous officer (an ) who was killed two days liter ). to perform this duty. Capt. Baldwin deployed his com- pany as skirmishers, and after a spirited contest drove the enemy from the buildings and took possession of them. Some time subse- quently Cant. Baldwin sent word that he was severely pressed, that the enery were multiplying around him, and asked for reinforce- ment .. Thereupon Col. Gates sent Capt. Withaw II. Cunningham, G Company, to bis assistance, who fought his way to the buildings an I joined Capt. Baldwin. These two companies held those build- ings, which served to cover our left flank and keep the enemy's right in check for over two hours. The enemy hal then surrounded the buildlings on three sides and succeedel iu setting some of the out- honees on fire, when, to avoid being captured, the men were with- drawn, and, moving through a ravine southerly and covered in a nusure by a small party of cavalry, they made good their escape andlirjoined the regiment that evening? ou Cemetery Hill."

The 11th Corps was furiously assaulted by the combined rebel forces of Gens. Rodes. Early, and Hlill, and, over- powered by numbers, was forced to fall back into the town ; tlouis the right of the Federal line, and nearly half of the entire Union force on the field, Had been swept away, and the 1st Corps was left to fight it out alone.

" Long before the 11th Corps gave way, the right of the enemy's lines of assault had swung around the curve of the Union line and struck the Federal left vear the Hagerstown road, and the roar of battle then swept along the whole line with great fury. Biddle's bri- gule was still holding the left. Cooper's battery of four pieces was preted on the brigalle line, between the ' Ulster Guard' and the 142d l'ennsylvania, the brigade being now posted on the ridge in front of Willoughby Ran, ant in nearly the identical position it occupied before advancing into the ravine, some hours before. In the separa- tion of the brigade to make an interval for Cooper's battery, the right and left regiments were thrown so far apart that Col. Biddle directed

Co !. Gates to take charge of the two regiments on the right (the 121st Pennsylvania and ' Ulster Guard'), while he looked after the two on the left.

" The wave of battle, as it rolled southwar.l, reached every part in turn, and the extreme Union lett, wher . Biddle's brigule was posted, at length felt it+ power. A body of troops, apparently an entire di- vision, drawn nut in heavy lines, came down from the west and south, and, overlapping both of Biddle's fanks, moved defiantly on. . . . Terrible rents were made; but, closing up, they enme on undaunted. The infantry fire was terrifie on both sides, but the enemy, oatflank- ing Biddle, sent a direct und a doubly destructive obliqu" fire, before which it seemed impossible to stand. But though the dead fell until the living cvall Geht from behind them us from a bulwark, they stood fast as if route.l to the ground." The right of the 1st Corps had now been forced to give way, and brigade after brigade was swept from the field until Billle's stood alone upon the line, holling in check n whole division of Confederates. Cooper's battery was now sent to the rear to save it from capture, and the brigade prepared to retire. It was almost , dangerous to relient as to ret 2., for we were now receiving a fire on both thanks as well as in front. But to reinain was to be captured, and. pouring a volley into the enemy as they came rusbit. ; up the slope in front, and at short range, the order to retreat was given. Anticipating that the rebels would dish for- ward when our retreat began, an I possibly throw the troops in'w con- fusion, the colonel of the . Ulster Ginand,' why was the only othirer of the brigade mounted, took from his color-bearer the regimes tal colors, which bal be un presented to the regiment by the la lies of Sauzer- tics, and, bois'ing them over his shoulder, called upon his men to stand by them. A. he was mountel, the colors became very con- spienous. The regiments marele I slowly and in perfect or ler, halt- ing as often a they epull load, and t ng about an I delivering their fre with so much coolness and effect that the pursuit was very tardy. Seeing this, Col. Gates returned the colors to its proper custodian. . . . We lost no pois mers except ont won Jed, whom we were compelled to leave on the field, and we damaged the enemy quite as much in the retreat ns he dil u :.

Reaching Cemetery Hi'l, we were posted along i stone wall overlooking the Toneytown road, and there remained during the night, and uutit eleven o'clock A.M. next day."t

As complimentary to the 20th Regiment and its gallant commander, we give the following extracts from a letter of Gen. Doubleday, dated Sept. 10, 1563:

"Da the first day at tietty.burg he was assigned to the important

duty of protecting the left flank of the Ist Corps against the heavy furer, which threatened it. . . . He held his position for several hours, until the right of the line gave way und forced him to retire, which he dil in good order. Although outflanked by a whole brigale, he continued to hold them in check, and to fall back without disorder to a second position on Seminary Ridge. There be formed his line again, and mnost gallantly checked the enemy's advance until the corps but uearly all withdrawn. His position was that of a forlorn hope, covering the retreat of the corps, and saving it fromn a great disaster. . . . The desperate nature of the light is indicated by the fact that the official returns show that Col. Gates lost considerably more than half his force."

The part taken by the 20th Regiment in the closing or third day's fight at Gettysburg is shown by the following, which we take from the official report of its commanding officer :

"Alort I've p.n . on the Ed of July, the brigade was ordered to the left centre to support the Sd Corps. Two regiments only of the bri- gade (the 20th New York and 151st Pennsylvania) reached the front bno where they were halted on the last and lowest of the ridges run - ning derl; north and south between the Tancytown and the Em- mett-burg roads. . . . About five s.M., on the 31, the enemy opened with artillery, and for some time kept up a brisk fire upon our posi- tion. This finally ceased, an I until about one r.v. no further firing took place on this part of the line. . . . At one o'clock the enemy opened from Ins right eentre battery, which was soon followed by all his guns on his right and centre, anl the position occupied by my commind was swept by a tempest of shot and shell from upwards of a hundred gens for nearly two bours. Then the cannonading subsided, and the eneiny's infantry debonched from the orchard and woods on his right eentre. au I movel in two lines of battle across the fields towards the position I have describe l.

Perceiving that their purpose was to gain the bluff, I moved my con mand by the righ' flank up to the fos of the bluff, delivering our freas we marched, an I koping between the enemy and the object of his enterprise. lic surret le ! in renelling the foure at the foot of the blud, but with ranks broken and his muen evidently disheartenel.

ULSTER IN THE REBELLION.

From this time until May 4, 1864, the history of the " Ulster Guard" was similar to that of most of the regi- ments composing the Army of the Potomac after Gen. U. S. Grant assmined command of the armies of the United States,-a life of incessant activity, in which marching, bivonacking, throwing up intrenchiments, and rapid flank movements were alternated with picket and provost duty, reconnoissances, skirmishes and battles, and the guarding of captured prisoners.

In February, 1864, on the occasion of the third enlist- ment of the regiment as veteran volunteers, Col. Gates, Surgeon Loughran, Capts. Cook, Snyder, and McMahon, Lieuts. France, Woodworth, and Deits, and one hundred and sixty-one enlisted mien, received thirty-five days' veteran furlough. They arrived at Kingston, N. Y., Feb. 15, 1864, " where they were publicly received by an immense con- course of citizens, and after addresses of welcome the bat- talion sat down to a bounteous dinner provided by the ladies whose presence graced the occasion." February 17th the officers visited Albany, and were invited to seats on the floor of the Assembly chamber, under the following reso- lution, which was unanimously adopted :

"Resolved, That the oficers of the 20th Regiment, New York State Militia, now in this city, whose third enlistment in the service of their country during the present war has just taken place, aud whose battle-flags in the Bureau of Military Statistics ate their credentials, be admitted to the privileges of the floor of this house."

On taking seats, they were addressed in complimentary terms by Mr. Speaker Alvord, to which Col. Gates made a patriotic and eloquent reply. On Washington's Birthday, 1864, the battalion, accompanied by a large delegation of citizens from Ulster County, proceeded to Albany, where was presented to Master George S. Pratt, son of the late Col. G. W. Pratt, the old regimental flag carried by the regiment at the time the Innented colonel was mortally wounded.

March 29th the battalion returned to the front, rejoining the balance of the regiment at Brandy Station, Va. May 4th, all public property having been removed or burned and the station destroyed, the regiment took up its line of march to rejoin the army, then one day's march ahead. During the remainder of the month the 20th was engaged in guard- ing prisoners of war and bridges, protecting wagon-trains, doing picket duty, acting as rear-guard to the army, and performing the general provost duty of the Army of the Potomac. During June and July the regiment performed provost duty for the " armies operating against Richmond," having charge of all trains on the City Point and Peters- burg Railroad, all mail steamers to and from Bermuda Hundred, City Point, and points north, and the charge of the secret service boat. August 9th a vessel loaded with ord- nance stores blew up, causing great destruction of property and loss of life ; the " Ulster Guard" lost five killed and seventeen wounded. From this time until November the regiment continued in the same duties. November 24th, Col. T. B. Gates was mustered out on account of the ex- piration of his term of service, and he left for home ae- companied by the earnest prayers of the officers and mnen of the " "Twentieth." Feb. 15, 1865, Col. Hardenbergh assumed command of the regiment. . April 2d the regiment

took a conspicuous part in the engagement at " Fort Sedy- wick," near Petersburg, and sustained a heavy loss. The following day the Union forees took possession of Peters- burg, and then soon followed the surrender of Lee and the close of the Rebellion. The regiment, however, continued to perform provost and other special detached duties until Jan. 29, 1866, when it was mustered out and returned home. February 22d a regimental flag was presented to the 20th at the armory in Kingston by the citizens, with appropriate and patriotic songs and speeches ; in the even- ing the officers held a meeting, at which it was unanimously resolved to reorganize the regiment under the National Guard law of the State.

The " Ulster Guard" still exists as the 20th Battalion National Guard, State of New York, with the following roster of field- and staff-officers :
