COMPANY H. 2D OHIO (Three Months) AND COMPANY H. 195TH O. V. I.
The publishers regret to say that they were unable to proeure a mnster roll or a record of either of these companies, which also enlisted from Jefferson county. They were not on file at the Adjutant General's office at Columbus, and could not be pro- cured from the War Department in Washington. After consid- erable effort we failed to get them from private sources, but the names of nearly all of them appear in other organizations. Company H. of the 2d Ohio, commanded by Capt. McCook, per- haps all re-enlisted after the expiration of the three months service, and Company H. of the 195th were all re-enlisted vet- erans. The following letter explains itself:

STEUBENVILLLE'S GRAND TRI-STATE RE-UNION.
ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL GATHERINGS OF VETERANS SINCE THE WAR.
August 28th, 1879, must be recorded as one of the brightest days in the history of Steubenville, an occasion upon which was witnessed within the corporation limits of that city a gath- ering of from forty to fifty thousand participants in a grand re- union of old soldiers from the states of Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. The event owed its inception to the gallant boys of the 98th, 126th and 52d O. V. 1., and the following consti- tuted the committee of arrangements :
J. W. Holliday, chairman ; D. A. Matlack, secretary ; J. F. Sarratt, B. N. Lindsey, B. McFarland, Alex. Smith, James Lav- ery, Douglas Cahill, T. B. Coulter, J. C. Brown, M. J. Urquhart, 1-58-B. & J. Com.
John Pearce, M. R. Andrews, James Porter, G. A. Maxwell, D. M. Hanna, John Engel, Ben. Miller, R. M. Brown, J. G. Lange, F. Collins, W. V. B. Croskey, A. M. Rowe, B. D. Worthington, Samuel Johnson, George Flannagan, R. E. Blinn, James Trotter, David MeCullougb, Lieut. Leisure, Champ. Bowman, Simon Merriman, Robert Martin and V, W. Berry, all of which we must say filled their respective places well.
The city was decorated beyond measure and presented the grandest seene of unparalleled gaiety and animation. The battle torn flags of the various regiments and the martial strains from eighteen bands of musie, tended much to enthuse the vast eon- course with ardent patriotism, while a barbecued ox, with eount- less wagon loads of choice provisions and eapital coffee, brewed by hundreds of gallons, regaled the assembled mass, who par- took ad libitum. The order of the grand procession was as fol- lows :
Vaas' Cornet Band, Wheeling. West Virginia Soldiers. First West Virginia Drum Corps. West Virginia Soldiers. Martin's Ferry Band. Ohio Soldiers. New Cumberland Band. West Virginia Soldiers. Ohio Soldiers. Eightieth O. V. I. One Hundred and Sixty-first O. V. I. Twenty-sixth O. V. I. Twenty-eighth O. V. I. Sixth O. V. I. Wallace Grays, Canton. Canton Cadets. Stark County Delegation-650.

An enthusiastic mass meeting was held in Stokeley's Grove, which the Rev. Dr. Grimes opened with prayer, being fol- lowed by the Hon. J. T. Updegraff in a most eloquent address of welcome, after which the speakers of the day were Gen. Gar- field, Gen. Ewing, Gov. Bishop, Gen. Piatt, Gen. Hickenlooper, Gen. A. MeD. McCook, Col. Dennison, Judge Cochran, Chaplain McGuire, Col. Poorman, Gen. Rice, Col. Shallenberger. Every- thing passed off withont an accident, or the slightest other draw- back, and the day's indulgences were brought to a close with a gorgeous display of fireworks, when the vast crowd dispersed with feelings of regard and gratitude for Steubenville and its patriotic eitizens, that will not readily be effaced from the meni- ories and hearts of each and every participant.

HISTORY OF BELMONT AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES.
MORGAN'S FAMOUS RAID.
ITS MAGNITUDE AND THE COMMOTION IT CREATED-HIS EXPERIENCES WHILE PASSING THROUGH OLD JEFFERSON COUNTY-THE ROUTE HE TOOK AND INCIDENTS BY THE WAY-HOW HE WAS FOILED ON EVERY SIDE-AND SURRENDERED BY STRATAGEM, BUT FOUND HIMSELF UNCON- DITIONALLY CAPTURED.
In the annals of the late war, probably no general in the Con- federate service (it on either side) evideneed equal audacity and determined bravery with that distinguishing the notorious Mor- gan, who, in July, 1863; undertook to cross the borders and ear- ry terror into the homes of Indiana and Obio.

His command having become reduced to some 500 or 600 men ere he left Harrison county-his chief loss hav- ing occurred at Buffington Island-he entered Jefferson county at Adena, in the southwestern part of the county, on the morn- ing of the 25th day of July, 1863. Crossing the road near Georgetown, he made the best of his way along Short creek, thinking of accomplishing an unbroken march to the Ohio. But "the fates decreed otherwise," for becoming apprised of a warm reception awaiting him at Warren, he branched off at the mouth of Dry Forks and passed
