This regiment was designated, under the Ohio militia law, as the "Seventh Ohio National Guard," and was organized for the hundred-days' service under the name above noted. The rank and file of the organization was composed wholly of citizens of Cincinnati, drawn from the mercantile and mechanic interests of the city, the latter largely predominating. It was considered the best drilled regiment in the State, and was to Cincinnati what the Seventh New York regiment is to the Empire City. On the publication of the governor's call for thirty thou- sand minute-men from. Ohio, there was not the least hesitation among the members of this fine organization. Every name was promptly represented in the ranks, not- withstanding there were scores of comrades who could well afford to purchase substitutes; but it was made a matter of pride that each and every member should re- port in person, unless his business absolutely forbade it. . On the sixth of May, 1864, the regiment was mustered
into the United States service at Camp Dennison, and was put en route for Washington city on the twelfth of the same month. Upon arrival at Baltimore, it marched through the city, preceded by the far-famed Menter's band of musicians, and such was the evidence of its cor- rect drill and thorough discipline, that Major General Lew Wallace, then in command of the district, was prompted to retain it in his department. Orders to that effect were at once issued, and the regiment was assigned to duty at Fort McHenry, in the harbor below Baltimore, with detachments at Forts Federal Hill, Marshall, and Carroll, and at the various headquarters in Baltimore. The greater part of the hundred days was spent in that duty. On the first of August the regiment moved up to Fort Marshall, and there remained until the fourteenth, when its time having expired, it was transported back to Camp Dennison, and mustered out of service on the twenty-first. Its losses were but five men, all told, three of whom died of disease; the other two were killed on their way home by striking a bridge under which the train was passing.
The commander of this regiment, Colonel Len A. Harris, had had the valuable experience, as colonel of the Second Ohio infantry of two year's service in the war.

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHTH OHIO NATIONAL GUARD.
This regiment is said by Mr. Reid to have been com- posed of the Fifth Ohio national guard, of Licking county; the Thirty-second battalion of Hardin county; and one company of the Thirty-seventh battalion, of Lorain county. It seems, however, from the rolls, to have had a large number of Hamilton county soldiers in it. It was mus- tered into the United States service May 14, 1864, and was ordered immediately to Washington city. At North mountain information was received that the bridge at Harpers' Ferry was impassable; and the regiment, with other hundred-day commands, was delayed for a time. awaiting the repair of the bridge. A picket was estab- lished, and every precaution taken for defence. In a few days the troops moved on, and the regiment arrived at Washington May 22d. It was placed in the defences south of the Potomac, with headquarters in Fort Albany, and detatchments in Forts Craig and Tillinghast. The time was occupied in repairing and completing these works and drilling in infantry and heavy artillery tactics. June 5th the regiment was ordered to White House Landing, where it was employed in picket duty and guard- ing rebel prisoners. On the sixteenth of June it was ordered to Bermuda Hundred, and proceeded on steam- er, via Fortress Monroe, up the James to Fort Powhattan, Here its progress was checked by the pontoon bridge, on which the army of the Potomac was crossing the James. The regiment debarked and marched to Bermuda Hun- dred, distant twenty-four miles. The march was made during two of the hottest days of summer, and the men suffered greatly from dust and the want of water. The command arrived at Fort Spring hill, on the eastern bank of the Appomattox, opposite Point of Rocks, on June 19th, and was engaged in picket and fatigue duty at the latter place and Broadway Landing. It next moved to Cherrystone inlet, on the eastern shore of Virginia. Headquarters were established at Eastville, the county town of Northampton county; and the companies were distributed at various points to guard the telegraph from Cherrystone to Wilmington, to prevent raids from the opposite side of the bay, and to intercept blockade-run- ners and rebel mail-carriers. At the expiration of its term of service, the regiment returned to Ohio, and was
mustered out at Camp Dennison on the first of Septem- ber, 1861.
