the steamer " Philadelphia " for Pensacola. From Pensacola it was transferred to New Orleans, and afterward to Baton Rouge and Bayou Teche. Served in the Teche country under General Wetzel until May of 1863, when it joined the Union forces in the siege of Port Hudson. After the surrender of that place in July, the regi- ment returned to Donaldsonville, where it took a hand in sending Dick Taylor to the " right about." Returned to Camp Parapet, and from there to Brashear City, where it remained through the winter of 1863 and 1864. On the 1st of December about two-thirds of the regiment re-enlisted. In May, 1864, the regiment was sent to Fort Jackson below New Orleans, and remained until July 12, when those members who had re-enlisted came home on veteran furlough via Cairo, Ill. At the expiration of their furlough they reported at Albany and were ordered to Fort McHenry, Baltimore. During the months of August, September and October, a large number of recruits were enrolled for the regiment. The regiment remained at Fort McHenry until February S, 1865, when all but Company E embarked by steamer for City Point, and became a part of the army under General Grant, and participated in the battles of Gravelly Run, Five Forks and South Side railroad. As an organization, it was discharged from the United States service, June 10, 1865, and its members were mustered out a few weeks later at Albany. But few men from Schoharie county enlisted at the organization of the regiment in 1861, but under the calls of 1864 a large number were enrolled, notably in Company B. Colonel Fox gives the total deaths in the regiment as two hundred and ninety-eight, of which num- ber one hundred and thirteen were killed or died of wounds.
