The adjutant was taken . prisoner. I foned him and Captain Patton in private houses, well cared for."
Lieutenant Larzalere communicates an account of the conduct of Company F in the battle of Murfreesboro:
"The fight commenced early on Wednesday morning. Company F was ordered into the woods as a reserve to support the skirmishers, who were hotly engaged, some- times our boys driving the enemy to their rifle-pits. Company F behaved most gallantly, while the tops of trees were falling and bombs bursting, grape and canister plowing through the woods, and the roar of the musketry was dreadful. Such a sight we never witnessed before, but with all this the boys behaved splendidly and! every man was at his post. It was then that Sergeant George Shedd was wounded with a cannon ball. He stood di- reetly in front of the company, the ball striking a stump close by me and glaneing, striking Sergeant Shedd ou the shoulder .. I supposed he was killed at the time, being carried off the field. I am proud to say he was not, for he is a brave boy and would never turn his back to the enemy. A number of the company distin- guished themselves on that day. I had four men wounded and four missing. Sergeant Shedd, Pat. Murphy, James Havens, and John Simmons were wounded. S. P. Mit- ler, Theo. Seargrist, Simon Waters, and Osear Bruin were missing. I have entertained the idea that the miss- ing were taken prisoners. I will give a short account of Friday's fight. In the charge across Stone River Com- pany E' were in the hottest. They fought with desper- ation. They were in advance, or at least the whole regiment was in advance. The enemy was on the one side of the river, and we on the other, but onr boys were determined to cross the river, which they did. Now the fight became terrible. Every time the boys pulled trig- ger down eame a rebel, till they could not stand the storm any longer, so off they went, throwing away guns, knapsacks, and aceouterments, our boys pressing, eap- turing, and killing them by hundreds. The field was strewn with the dead and dying of the enemy, but still our boys pursued them nearly a mile, capturing one battery-the Washington Battery-said to be the best one in the service. I did not lose a man. Company F behaved most gullantly in this dreadful fight and

'deserved a great deal of eredit for it, and they are ready and anxious for another fight. They are all well and in good condition. We are encamped one mile south of Murfreesboro at the present time."
The Tuilahoma campaign was begun on the 24th of June, 1863. The regiment moved with the Fourteenth Corps, meeting no trouble until in the passage through Hoover's Gap, the enemy was engaged in a brisk fight. The enemy also made a stand at Elk River, but was quickly driven forward. A little further on they went into camp, it being impossible to make further progress in that deep mud and the impassable roads of that region. This was at Cowan's Station, and the army then remained until the 8th of September. It was detailed at that time as a guard to an ammunition train of four hundred and fifty wagons, going to Bridgeport, on the Tennessee River. It then marched to Chattanooga.
Joseph W. Boynton, the adjutant, died on the 5th of June, of wounds received at the battle of Stone River. The funeral services were performed by Rev. Mr. Mc- Millan, at the Presbyterian Church, at 2 P. M., Sunday. The procession from the church to Greenwood Cemetery was under the superintendence of Colonel-Campbell, and consisted of an escort from the One Hundred and Fif- teenth Ohio and a large number of carriages. Lienten- ant Boynton was a resident of Boston, Massachusetts. The officers of the regiment held a meeting in the camp near Murfreesboro, June 9th, for the purpose of giving expression to their sentiments; declared that the meeting was unanimous in their feeling of regret at the loss of so young and promising an officer, and that the news of his death came with a twofold force, from the faet of his friends in Tennessee having hitherto been buoyed up by the almost certain prospect of his ultimate recovery. The service at large, and that regiment in particular, it was believed, had, in the death of Lientenart Boynton, met with a severe loss, a companion of genial and happy temperament, and an officer whose peculiar military tal- en's were invaluable. The meeting deeply sympathized with the bereaved relatives of Lieutenant Boynton, who had thus offered up his life to his country; another victim added to the hecatombs sacrificed on the altars of rebellion.
Preparatory to the battle of Chickamauga the Sixty- ninth Ohio, with the reserve corps nader General Gordon Granger, marched from Rossville to Chickamauga Creek. At this point, in obedience to an order from Colonel Dan. McCook, commanding the brigade, the regiment advanced under Colonel Brigham and burned Reed's Bridge, thus preventing the enemy from coming in on the rear of the national army. The regiment then fell back to Rossville, and immediately thereafter took charge - of the division trains. For this reason it did not partic- ipate in the battle of Chickamauga. It afterwards aided in covering the retreat of the Fourteenth Corps towards Chattanooga.
The regiment participated in the battle of Mission Ridge, and was among the first to reach the top of the mountain. In this charge it was commanded by Major J. J. Hanna, who was higlily complimented for his bravery and efficiency. In ascending the ridge Lieuten- ant J. S. Scott; Color Sergeant Jacob Wetzell; Color Corporals D. W. Leach and John W. Meredith; Corporal E. J. Manche; privates Kluger, Elsom, Van Kirk, Sew- ers, and Heffing were killed, and a large number wounded, many of whom subsequently died. March 16, 1864, the regiment, after having re-enlisted as veterans, started for Ohio on a furlough of thirty days. At the end of their furlough the men reported promptly at Camp Dennison, and on the 22d of April again started for the field.
After reaching Nashville they marched to Buzzard's Roost, arriving there on the 11th of May.' On May 14th the regiment, with the army, moved through Snake Creek Gap to a point near Resaca, where the enemy was met and engaged. At this place Color Sergeant John .A. Compton and four others were killed, and twenty-six men wounded. At Pumpkin Vine Creek and at Dallas the enemy was again engaged. In these affairs the regi- ment lost five killed and nineteen wounded. Kenesaw Monntain was reached on the evening of June 14th. During this siege two men were killed. At Marietta. July 4th, another engagement was had with the enemy, in which the regiment lost one man killed and seven wounded. The next stand was at the crossing of the Chattahoochie River, in which the regiment escaped with- out loss. On the 21st one man was killed and ten wounded. July 22d brought the regiment and the army before Atlanta. During the siege nine men were wounded, two of whom subsequently died.
On September 1st the Sixty-ninth took part in the fight at Jonesboro, and lost Lieutenant Jacob S. Pierson, Martin V. Bailey, Color-sergeant Allen L. Jobes, of Company D, and five men killed and thirty-six wounded, some of whom died in a few hours after the fight. The battle caused the evacuation of Atlanta, and the national forces occupied that city .- The regiment participated in the subsequent chase after Hood through the upper part of Georgia and into Alabama. It then returned to Atlanta, and joined Sherman's march to the sea, losing during its progress one man by disease and four cap- tured. Arriving in Savannah, it took position in the front line.
In the campaign through the Carolinas the regiment was engaged with the enemy near Goldsboro, North Carolina, March 19, 1865, and lost two killed and eight wounded. This was the last affair in which it partici- pated. Then came the march through Richmond, the review at Washington, the transfer to Louisville, and, lastly, the final muster out of the service on the 17th of July, 1865.
The following is a list of the officers and non-commis-
