CLINTON COUNTY, OHIO.

The time of the Twelfth Ohio Volunteer Regiment was out In July, 1864, and those who did not re-enlist returned to Ohio and were mustered out. Many of the Clinton county members remained in the service.

A war meeting was held in Wilmington on July 16, 144. to device means of raising volunteers for the army in order that another draft. then Impending, should not be necessary in the county, It was resolved that the trustees of the townships should be requested to borrow sufficient funds to enable them to my each volunteer one hundred doilars and that a tax should be levied on the property on the townships to liquidate the debt. On the ISth of July, President Lincoln called for five hundred thousand men. who should be drafted to serve one year. Ohio's share under this enll was twenty-five regiments, and of this, about four hundred and fifty men were to come from Clinton county. A draft took place on September 26 to All the quota. U'nder another call from the President on December 19, 1864. for three hundred thousand men. the net quota of Clinton county was placed at two hundred and six.

But the great war was almost over now and the Innd rejoiced, though the rejoicing was dimmed by the news that the President was assassinated.

The first of the regiments to return was the Seventy-ninth. It arriving on the even- Ing of June 17. The men of the regiment were met with a royal welcome and a great fenst prepared by the ladies of Wilmington. The two banners which had been carried to the field by the regiment thirty-four months before were brought back, scarred and torn In battle, their colors dimmed -- their stered tatters standing in evidence of stormy and deadly strife. This regiment had gone into the field originally with pine hundred men, had received four hundred recruits, and returned at the close of the war with but few over four hundred men.

The Clinton county members of the One Hundred and Seventy-fifth and the Seventy- fourth regiments returned in July.

After the close of the war he was breveted brigadier- general of volunteers, to date from March 13. 1865. John C. Moon, In June. 1862, raised Company F. of the Eighty-fifth Regiment, three-months men, that boing the on'y company of that enlistment containing men from Clinton county. Captain Moon was commis- sioned enplain in the Eighty-eighth Ohio on September 24. 1882. and most of the mien of the old company re-enlisted under him. In the fall of 1863. he was promoted to Hen- tenant-colonel of the One Hundred and Eighteenth United States Colored troops, and was subsequently promoted to colonel. He continued in the service notil same time in 1×66. and was breveted brigadier general of volunteers, to date from November 21. 1:65.

in April, 1861. It was re-organized and mustered into the service for three years on June 20. and on the 7th of July was ordered to the Kanawha valley in Virginia. Arriv- ing at Point Pleasant, July 11, It was attached to the Kanawha division under the com- mand of Gen. J. D. Cox. Through the winter that followed the regiment was actively . engaged only a portion of the time. In August, 1862, the regiment was ordered to Washington, thence to Manassas Junction to oppose a rebel force and for the next few days were sharply engaged. Whitelaw Reid, in his history of "Ohio In the War," tells the story of the next few days in this manner: "The rebels were posted on the banks of the Monocacy, holding the bridge across the stream. Three attacking columns were formed, with the Eleventh in the center of the advance, and advanced against the rebels. The center column gained the bridge and drove the enemy from it. A charge was ordered, but the line was thrown into some confusion, and the rebels rallied and captured two pieces of artillery. General Cox called to Colonel Coleman: 'Will the Eleventh recover those guns?' With a loud cheer, the regiment dashed at the rebels, drove them from the guns and still pressed on, cheering and charging, advancing into the city, and only halt- ing when the enemy were completely routed. That night the Kanawha division bivouacked near the city, and by the evening of the next day advanced to Catoctin creek near Middletown, the Eleventh being posted near the bridge." The regiment took part in the battle at South Mountain, and at Antietam lost their gallant Colonel Coleman, who fell mortally wounded while leading bis men against a strong rebel position, which they enr- ried after his fall.

The command was transferred to Nashville, Tennessee, in January, 1862, and, after numerous minor expeditions, was, on June 27, assigned to General Reynolds' Third Divi- sion of Gen. George H. Thomas' Fourteenth Army Corps. It saw plenty of hard service henceforth, and, on the 18th and 19th of September, at Chickamauga, suffered severely. At Lookout Mountain and Mission Ridge it distinguished itself greatly and during the charge on the ridge captured one battle-flag and a quantity of artillery and small arms. After pushing the enemy toward Ringgold, and engaging hlin at Ringgold, the regiment returned to Chattanooga. In a charge on Buzzard Roost, the regiment lost one-sixth of Its men and was compelled to fall back. The surviving veterans, about two hundred in number, returned to Ohio March 26. 1864, for the purpose of recruiting. The regiment then engaged in doing garrison duty at Ringgold until June 10, when it proceeded by way of Cincinnati to Camp Dennison, and was mustered out at the latter place June 21. 1864
