BESIDES the regiments of light and heavy artillery, there were twenty-six independent batteries of light
artillery raised in Ohio during the war: each having a hundred and fifty officers and men. including a captain, two first lieutenants and two second lieuten- ants. Six of these contained delegations from Cuya- hoga county, and of these we give a slight account in the succeeding pages.
SIXTH BATTERY.
This originally formed a part of a brigade reernit- ed under the supervision, and largely through the exertions, of Senator (now Secretary) Sherman, which was consequently known as John Sherman's brigade. It was organized near Mansfield in Novem- ber, 1861, and contained during the war eighteen members from Cuyahoga county. It served in vari- ons parts of Kentucky during the following winter, and its presence on the Cumberland brought on the battle of Mill Springs. It reached Pittsburg Land- ing soon after the battle, and took part in the advance on Corinth. From the 29th of April to the end of its service it was always in the brigade or division of Gen. Wood. The battery participated in the pursuit of Bragg into Kentucky, and was present at Perry- ville though not engaged.
At Stone River the Sixth silenced a rebel battery on the first day: the next, while detached from its regular position to check the overwhelming advance of the rebels against MeCook's corps, it was tempora- rily outflanked and two guns were captured, which, however, were retaken a quarter of an hour later. The third day it was a part of the massed artillery which inflicted a crushing defeat on the advancing foe. On the fourth day (Jannary 2d) the Sixth withdrew at one time on account of a rear fire from another Union battery, but soon took part in the final conflict which decided the victory in favor of the National forces. The next antimun, at Chickamauga, the bat- tery was warmly engaged; having eight officers and men killed and wounded.
Having re-enlisted in December, the Sixth took part in the Atlanta campaign the next spring; being engaged almost every day from Dalton to Atlanta. Returning with the Fourth corps, the battery was in the very hottest part of the battle of Franklin, and aided materially in gaining that decisive victory. It went through much arduons but not dangerous ser- vice after this, and was innstered out in September. 1×65.

NINTH INDEPENDENT BATTERY.
This command, originally intended to form a por- tion of the Forty-first Infantry. was organized October 11, 1861, for three years service, with three commis- sioned officers, eighty men and four guns, but after- wards became a full battery. During the war it had thirty-two members from Cuyahoga county. It left Cleveland for Kentucky on the 4th of December. and, after remaining in camp upwards of a month, participated in the battle of Mill Springs: receiving from Gen. Thomas, on account of its gallant services on that occasion. two bronze guns captured from the enemy. Subsequently the Ninth fought at Cumber- land Gap. where it was under a seven hours continu- ous fire. and shared in the numerous movements which resulted in the capture of that stronghold in June. 1862, as well as in the hardships of the retreat which was subsequently found to be necessary.
After being increased to a six gun battery it served with the army of the Cumberland until the next spring: was smartly engaged with the enemy at Franklin and Triune, Tenn .. and during June and July. 1863, had several skirmishes near Triune and Murfreesboro. Exciting but not important exper- iences attended the battery until February 22, 1864. when forty men of the original orgamzation re-enlisted as veterans and returned to Cleveland. On the 9th of April, 1864, it appeared for duty at Tullahoma, Tenn., whence in May it departed with Sherman in the Atlanta campaign, and took an active part in the many battles of that arduous but glorious struggle. It also attended him in his " March to the Sea, " per- forming good service whenever called upon, and was eventually mustered ont at Cleveland on the 25th of July, 1865.

The battery went down the Mississippi with Gen. Grant; was on the front line during the siege of Vicksburg, and was engaged in July at Jackson, Mississippi. After operating on the Mississippi and lying in camp at Vicksburg until February, 1864, it marched eastward with Sherman against the enemy at Meridian. Enterprise and Quit- man. Mississippi, and then returned to Vicksburg, where thirty-six of its men re-enlisted.
After recruiting, the battery joined Sherman in Northern Georgia, fought in the battles at Kenesaw mountain, was occupied in severe skirmishes and en- gagements ou the Nicojack and Chattahoochie rivers, and was present at the capture of the Augusta rail- road near Decatur, Ga. It did very important work in the bloody fight of July 22d. when Gen. MePher- son was killed; and on the 28th of the same month it was the only battery engaged on the National side when Hood vainly hurled two corps against the forces commanded by Logan. The Fifteenth was also in Sherman's flank movement upon the rear of Atlanta, and was warmly engaged at the battles of Jonesbor- ough and Lovejoy's Station.

After having fought in thirty battles and skirmishes, and traveled more than five thousand miles, the Fif- teenth was mustered out at Columbus on the 20th of June, 1865.
