ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTH OHIO INFANTRY.
This command was composed mainly of the German element, and was recruited in Hamilton, Butler, and Franklin counties. When but partly organized in August, 1862, four companies were hurried from Camp Dennison to Covington, by the alarm of invasion, and there wel- comed four companies more. After Kirby Smith re- treated, the regiment went to Louisville, and thence to Frankfort, to put down Morgan's guerillas. It was there placed in General Dumont's division and marched to Bowling Green, where it was assigned to the Thirty-ninth brigade, Twelfth division. Resuming its march the regi- ment, near Hartsville, Tennessee, was skilfully saved from an overwhelming force of Morgan's and other rebels, which had surrounded it; but a few days after, through the carelessness and cowardice of an Illinois officer, the brigade commander, it was surrendered to Morgan, with all the forces and stores at Hartsville. The One Hun- . dred and Eighth, however, gave the enemy a courageous resistance for more than an hour, losing forty-six killed and one hundred and sixty-two wounded. Every officer of the regiment, except three, was captured. The con- duct of the command was especially commended in a letter from General Rosecrans. After exchange it was duly re-organized at Camp Dennison, receiving another company. It was assigned to duty in Frankfort, Ken- tucky, and won golden opinions for its discipline and good conduct, the order for its removal being thrice revoked at the request of General Robinson and other leading citizens. It was finally ordered to Louisville, and thence to Nashville, where it served for four months guarding railroads. September 6th it moved by rail to
Stevenson, and in November reached the vicinity of Chattanooga, where it took post on Moccasin Point, at the foot of Lookout Mountain, supporting the Eighteenth Ohio battery. It was here made part of the Second brigade, Second division, Fourteenth corps, with which it served until the close of the war. November 22d it crossed the Tennessee and had a spirited skirmish with the rebels near Graysville. It was then hurried to the relief of Knoxville, but was turned back from Morgantown, on the Little Tennessee, to Chattanooga, which it reached after a very toilsome march, during which many of its men had trod the frozen ground bare- footed. It went into winter quarters near Rossville, and in February, 1864, moved to Lyne's Station, on the Knoxville railroad, whence it took part in the reconnois- sance from Ringgold to Tunnel Hill, and on towards Dalton. Upon its return to Rossville it was joined by two new companies. May 3d it marched for Ringgold, on the Atlanta campaign, and for four months was engaged in almost continuous marching and fighting. It happened to be engaged especially in bayonent charges, in which it was uniformly successful, driving the rebels several times from strong positions. At Resaca it was in a storm of bullets for four hours, and lost heavily. It was in the side movement on Rome, and captured a large lot of chewing and smoking tobacco, which a German regiment knows how to enjoy. During the latter part of the campaign it did noble service as train guards between Chattanooga and Atlanta, in one case a sergeant and twenty men successfully defending, through a whole day, a train thrown from the track. In August a part of the regiment participated in the defence of Dalton against Wheeler's cavalry. It broke camp at that place in early November, and went to Atlanta to join in the march to the sea. During the last fight of Sherman's army at Bentonville, North Carolina, it was largely instrumental in saving the day by a most heroic resistance. Six times the rebels charged and were repulsed, and four times the men of the One Hundred and Eighth had to leap over their slight breastworks, to repel attacks from rear as well as front. When the last attack was repulsed the regiment had left but two cartridges per man. It was in the ad- vance of the movement April 10, 1865, from Golds- borough toward Smithfield, on the Neuse river, and was sharply engaged with the rebel cavalry for nine hours, driving it fourteen miles during that time. This was the last action of the war; and it is claimed that this reg- iment fired the last shots against the Rebellion, and that Captain Fleischman, of company H, who lost his life during the fight, was the last Federal officer who was killed on the field in the long struggle. The regiment rested a short time at Holly Springs, North Carolina, then marched from Raleigh to Richmond, one hundred and ninety-two miles, in six and a half days, without leaving a straggler; and thence to Washington, where it took part in the grand reviews, and was mustered out June 9, 1865. Throughout its service it was held in the highest esteem by its brigade, division, and corps commanders, for its prompt action, its discipline, and fighting quali- ties.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOURTH OHIO INFANTRY.
Only one company ("I," from Cincinnati) was recruited in Hamilton county. The regiment was organized at Camp Taylor, near Cleveland, and started for the field New Year's day, 1863. Its first camp was made at Eliz- abethtown, Kentucky, and in February embarked at Louisville for Nashville, and marched thence to Franklin, where it encamped till June, building forts, drilling, and engaged in other duties. It was in the affair of the fourth of March, at Thompson's Station, in which a Federal brigade was taken, but escaped the field in time to avoid capture, with the artillery and the ammunition train it was guarding. It suffered severely from disease during the rest of the stay at Franklin. June 2d it joined the forward movement of Rosecrans' army, and at Manches- ter was brigaded in the Second brigade, Second division, Twenty-first army corps. While in camp there, un- der better conditions of living, the health of the men greatly improved. August 16th the march over the Cum- berlands began, and September 9th the Tennessee was crossed in water reaching to the waists of the men. Sep- tember 19th, at Chickamauga, the regiment was sharply engaged for the first time, and stood the ordeal bravely and well, losing one hundred men killed, wounded, or captured. The next day it was again engaged, losing forty men (including its colonel), and being compelled to fall back upon Chattanooga with the beaten forces, yet bearing itself handsomely throughout. The starvation period at and about Chattanooga followed, during which it was assigned to the Second brigade, Third division, Fourth corps, and engaged in building forts and other works. October 26th it was in the skilful and brave night attack by which Raccoon mountain was captured, and in the subsequent movements which enabled Hook- er's troops to cross the river and raise the siege. Novem- ber 23d it bore a distinguished part in the charge on Mission Ridge, capturing seven guns and eighty stand of arms, but losing fifty-six men, among whom was Captain Frost, of the Cincinnati company, mortally wounded at the moment the enemy's works were occupied. In No- vember it marched to relieve Knoxville. The next winter was spent in East Tennessee, in the endurance of many

hardships. With its corps it shared the glories of the Atlanta campaign, and was in the flanking movement to Jonesborough, the pursuit of Hood, the battle of Nash- ville, and the final chase of Hood out of Tennessee. From Huntsville it went to Strawberry Plains, East Ten- nessee, and from there to Nashville, where it was mus- tered out July 9, 1865, and shortly afterwards paid off and discharged at Camp Taylor.
