In December, the Forty-second was ordered to the Yazoo, and led the advance against Vicksburgh. For three days the regiment held its position in line, when the army was compelled to retire. In January, 1863, the forces proceeded to White River, and thence to Ar- kansas Post, and captured Fort Hindman with seven thousand prisoners, all the guns, small arins and stores. The Forty-second then returned to the rear of Vicks- burgh. In the engagements which followed, the regi- ment sustained heavy loss. After the surrender of Vicks- burgh the Forty-second marched to Jackson, and par. ticipated in its capture, and then entered the Depart- ment of the Gulf. It remained at Thebodeaux during the winter of 1864, and in the spring went on an expe- dition to Clinton, Louisiana, where it participated in a severe engagement. It was also in several other small expeditions, and returned to Camp Chase where it was mustered out September 30, 1864. The Forty-second was engaged in eleven battles, in which it lost one officer and twenty men killed, and eighteen officers and three hundred and twenty-five men wounded. Its tattered banners show bard service.

The mortality list was not included in the roll, and, hence, cannot appear here. It is certain, however, that the company performed arduous duty in the far South, and was considerably diminished by disease and death before its discharge.
THE SIXTY-FIFTH REGIMENT,
Captain Orlow Smith was promoted to lieutenant colonel, October 10, 1865, and to colonel, November 24, 1865.
The Sixty-fifth was employed some months, in 1862. in Kentucky, repairing and guarding roads, and then marched into Tennessee to Columbia, and thence to Savannah, Georgia, and from thence to Pittsburgh Lan i ing, and participated in that battle. It next moved to Corinth, and was at the siege, and reverned to Louisville, Kentucky. It was ordered to march toward Stone River, and was in the battle of December 29, 1862. In June, 1363, it was ordered to Chattanooga, and participated in that battle. The Sixty-fifth passed on to Mission Ridge, and took part in that engagement. Then came the Atlanta campaign- the affair at Lookout Mountain, Resaca, Dallas, Marietta, Kenesaw, Peachtree Creek, and Jonesborough, in which the Sixty-fifth took a part. On the twenty-ninth of November, it was in the battle of Springfield; on the thirtieth, in the battle of Franklin, and afterwards, in the battle of Nashville. in June, 1865, the regiment was ordered to Texas, and remained at San Antonio until December, and was ordered to

Company K was mustered out at Louisville, Ken- tucky, July 24, 1865. We are unable to make out the mortality list from the roll; but by reference to the regi- mental service, which follows, it will be seen that com- pany K performed arduous duty, and that its ranks were greatly thinned by disease and the casualties of war.
THE RIGHTY-SECOND REGIMENT.
In January, 1862, the Eighty second was ordered from Kenton, Ohio, its place of rendezvous, to West Virginia, and went into camp near the village of Fetter-
man, for instruction and drill. In the spring the reg- iment, in the brigade of General Robert Schenck, was sent to various points in pursuit of guerillas, after which it was ordered to go to the aid of General Milroy, near McDowell. The Confederate forces were attacked by Generals Schenck and Milroy near Bull Pasture moun- tain, and compelled them to retreat. The Eighty-second then joined General John C. Fremont, and passed by rapid marches through Petersburgh, when the battle of Strasburgh occurred, and the enemy again retreated under Stonewall Jackson. The column passed on to Cross Keys, where a running fight ensued, and Jackson crossed the Shenandoah, destroying the bridge and marched leisure- ly away, having scattered the forces of General Shields. The tardiness of Fremont in the pursuit of Jackson, practically ended his military carcer. Severe campaign- ing followed. The troops returned to Middletown, and General Siegel took command of the division. The Eighty-second was transferred to an independent brigade, commanded by General Milroy. On the seventh of August Siegel's corps moved to Culpeper; and on the ninth toward Cedar Mountain, where a battle was going on. Milroy moved to the front to relieve exhausted troops; and on the night of the tenth, the enemy retreat- ed. The Eighty-second destroyed Waterloo Bridge, and skirmished continually for ten days. The second battle of Manassas took place, and Colonel Cantwell, in leading a charge, was killed. The Eighty-second was much ev- posed and suffered severely in the battle. The National forceswere finally compelled to withdraw to Centerville. In September the Eighty-second moved to Fort de Kalb, Siegel's headquarters. On the twenty-fifth it advanced to Fairfax Court House, and the campaign closed with the attempt to capture the heights of Fredericksburgh. The Eighty-second was transported to the division of Genere! Schurz, and by him designated as a battalion of sharp- shooters. In April, 1863. the Eleventh corps moved on the Chancellorsville campaign, crossing the Kappahan- nock, at Kelley's Ford, and the Rapidan, at Ely's Mills; and on the thirtieth arrived within three miles of the battle ground. The battle opened May and, and the Eighty-second and others deployed with fixed bayonets, and fell back to the rifle pits. The Eighty-second held its position; but regiment after regiment was pressed back under the terrible charge of the forces of Stonewall Jackson, and it finally fell back. It took a new position, having but one hundred and thirty-four men with the colors. Here Captain James J. Beer, a gallant young officer from Ashland county, fell. After the battle, the remaining members of the Eighty-second returned to its old camp near Stafford. In June, the Gettysburgh cam- paign commenced. The Eighty-second participated in that arduous campaign. It was ordered to move over the plain to assail, with its brigade, the Confederate works. In the attempt it lost twenty of its remaining men. The gaps were promptly filled, and the Eighty- second advanced within seventy Rve yards of the Con- federate lines. It went into the battle with twenty-two commissioned officers, and two hundred and thirty six privates, and of these, nineteen officers and one hundred

and forty-seven men were killed, wounded, or captured.
The balance of the regiment brought the colors, tattered and torn by shot and shell, safely from the field. After the retreat of the Confederate forces, the Eighty-second performed patrol duty at Catlet's station. It was then attached to the army of the Cumberland, and was in the battle of Mission Ridge. Then came a defeat and a re- trograde movement to Knoxville. General Longstreet, of the Confederate army, retreated on the approach of the Northern forces. The ranks of the Eighty-second were so thinned by disease and battle that when Gen- eral Sherman reached Goldsborough it was consolidated with the Sixty-first Ohio. These regiments continued with Sherman until his army reached Washington city, by way of Richmond and Alexandria, on the nineteenth of May, 1865; and then proceeded by rail to Louisville, Kentucky, and on the twenty-fifth of July returned to Camp Chase, Ohio, where it was paid and discharged on the twenty-ninth. No regiment in modern times performed more arduous duty than the Eighty second. Very few of its young herces survived the horrors of the battle field and returned to the family circle.
EIGHTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT, OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.
This regiment rendezvoused at Camp Chase, Colum- bus, Ohio, in June, 1862, and was a three months' organ- ization. It was under the command of Colonel Henry B. Banning, of Mount Vernon. The organization of the regiment was completed by the twelfth of June, 1862, at which time it was ordered to repair to Baltimore, Mary- land, and report to Major General Wool, commander of that post. It arrived in Baltimore on the fifteenth of June, and was assigned to a camp north of the city, where it was drilled some weeks by Colonel Banning.

In the latter part of July, 1862, the Eighty-seventh received orders to report to Colonel Miles at Harper's Ferry. It was stationed on Boliver Heights, and sub- jected to rigid drill. It remained there until the siege of the Ferry by "Stonewall" Jackson, and ai the surrender was included with the National forces. The various companies were subsequently released from their paroles, and were mustered out at Delaware, Ohio, on the twen- ticth of September, 1562.

The One Hundred and Second was ordered to Ken- tucky, and mastered into service at Covington, Septem- ber 6, 1862. It was ordered to Louisville, and went into the trenches to defend that city. In October, it marched to Shelbyville, Franklin, and Perryville, and thence to Crab Orchard ; thence to Bowling Green. From thence it was ordered to Clarksville, Tennessee, for drill and camp duty. In September, 1863, it returned to Shelbyville, to aid in repelling the invasion of General Wheeler, of the Confederate army. It returned to Nashville, and went into winter quarters. In April, : 864, the One Hundred and Second marched to Tulia- homa, and thence to Bellefonte, Alabama. Here it was ordered to patrol the Tennessee river, from Stevenson to Seven Mile island, a distance of fifty miles. On this line it erected twelve block houses and one fort. The regiment was frequently assailed by guerillas, and suf- fered considerably from exposure and sickness. Shortly after the completion of its fort and other works, General Forrest, of the Confederate army, made a dash upon the One Hundred and Second with his cavalry, and captured a portion of its men under Colonel Elliott, near Athens, after a severe fight. Six months afterward che prisoners were paroled, and placed on board the ill fated Sultana, at Vicksburgh, and eighty one men of the One Hundred and Second were lost.
