MEXICAN WAR.
At the great soldiers' reunion at Sten- benville in 1879, J. R. Marshall, of Dublin, Ohio, furnished a full and complete sketch of the Steubenville Greys, who represented Jefferson County in the Mexican War as Company I of the Third Ohio Regiment.

Irwin. There were three deaths from sickness, nine discharges for disability and sickness, and one desertion through the persuasion of an elder brother, who was leading a frontier life in Texns. Most of the illness was chronie diarrhea, and every man was on the sick list at some period. Isaac B. Fisher was a remarkable instance of extreme emaciation.
From Mr. Marshall's diary we learn that the Greys left Steubenville on Jime 4, 1846, on the steamboat "Wisconsin." The com- pany numbered sixty-four men, including non-commissioned officers, and arrived at Cincinnati on the 6th, where they went into Camp Washington, four or five miles ont of town. Some recruits from Piqua brought the force up to sixty-nine meu. Company I had been fully equipped on leaving Sten- benville with tents, mess chests, pans, etc. They left Camp Washington on July 3 as part of the Third Regiment Ohio Volun- teers, and took passage with four other
companies on the steamer "Tuscaloosa" for New Orleans under command of Colonel Curtis. The other division, under com- mand of Lieutenant-Colonel MeCook, took the steamer "New Era." They arrived at New Orleans July 10, and camped on the battlefield, Camp Jackson, four miles be- low the city. On July 13 they embarked on the brig "Orleans" and anchored off Brazos Island, Texas, July 20. Four days later they were taken off by steamboat and landed, when they marelied to Fort Brown neur the month of the Rio Grande opposite Mutumoras, Mexico, where they arrived Angust 5. Ou August 18, Jonathan Cham- bers died and was buried the same day. That night the regiment crossed the river and established Camp MeCook on Mexican soil. The third regiment was placed in General Taylor's division and culled the Army of the Rio Grande. On February 2, 1847 it left for Comargo, 160 miles dis- tant on the San Juan River three miles above where it enters into the Rio Grande, where was a partly finished fort called Ohio. On February 17, three companies, including Company 1, left Comargo under command of Colonel MeCook to garrison the town of Meir, and perform escort duty from Comurgo via Meir, Senalvo nud Mon- terey. General Santa Anna was advancing with 20,000 men on Taylor and Wool at Buena Vista, and on February 25 comumni- eation was ent off from General Taylor. Me- Cook's forre was ordered back to Comargo, where on March 7 was received news of the victory at Buena Vista on February 22 and 23. Orders were given to advance on Mon- terey forthwith, and they started with some Virginia troops and others with 123 wagons of supplies for General Taylor. There were plenty of rmnors of attacks hy Mex- jeans but none of them materialized, and relief was afforded Major Iddings of the First Ohio who was hemmed in at Senalvo and out of ammunition. After anxiously expmeting one of these attacks they met General Taylor, who had become a terror to the Mexicans. A force of the enemy was pursued to Cadeveta, and some wounded

prisoners recaptured, and the company marched to Buena Vista, arriving there on March 25th. Here they remained until May 18, when they were discharged with the thanks of the Commander, General Wool. They reached the mouth of the Rio Grande on June 5, and sailed on the 7th on the schooner Bounty for New Orleans, where they arrived on June 15. The regi- ment was mistered out on June 21, and the men reached home about two weeks later, after an absence of a year and two months.
WAR OF THE REBELLION.
The morning papers of Monday, April 15, 1861, contained President Lincoln's proclamation announcing the fall of Fort Sumter, and calling for 75,000 volunteers. Early in the day the old court house bell called the citizens together, and work of enrolling and drilling commenced at once. On the following evening there was a more formal meeting at the court house at which an addition of forty-eight names completed the first company which was fully organ- ized the following day, the 17th when its date of service began. As arrangements had to be made for transportation and other formalities complied with, the com- pany did not get away until Friday, the 19th. At 12 o'clock noon on that day the company formed at old Kilgore Hall, now National theatre, and marched down Mar- ket street to the law building below Third recently razed. Here an immense crowd lind assembled, and Mrs. Mary K. Means, on behalf of the ladies of the city presented the soldier boys with a handsome flag, the response to hier patriotic address being made by Capt. Anson G. MeCook. The men then marched to the C. & P. depot at the foot of South street, waiting for the train bearing other members of the First and Second Ohio regiments from Cincin- nati and Columbus. Soon the Jast hand- shake was given and the last cheers re- sounded as the train pulled out for the East. Of course this was a sample of what was taking place all over the North.
On the previous Monday morning there was practically not a soldier north of the Ohio or Potomac. Before the week was out there were near a hundred thousand. These two regiments went into camp at Lancaster, Pa., where they were fully organized and mustered into service on April 29th. From there they went to Wash- ington and participated in the first battle of Bull Run, in which fortunately none of the Steubenville company was killed, although two were captured and remained prisoners until January 11, 1862. The company was mustered out July 31, and most of the men re-enlisted for three years. Following is the roster of Co. H, 2d. O. V. I.
