FIFTH INDEPENDENT COMPANY OF CAVALRY .- (FREMONT'S BODY GUARD.
This guard was a body of cavalry selected from a host of applicants, the necessary qualifications being high intelligence, fine physique, and a decided aptitude for military service. Without question it was one of the finest bodies of cavalry ever seen in the United States army. It was made up almost exclusively of young Am- ericans from Ohio and Kentucky, only thirty foreigners being counted among its numbers. The guard especially distinguished itself at the battle of Springfield, Missouri, where one hundred and fifty men, under Major Zagonegi, routed a force of two thousand rebels. It advanced with caution until within half a mile, then halted and drew sabers; and a moment later they were dashing forward shouting "Hurrah for Cincinnati!" "Old Kentucky for- ever!" "Fremont and Union!" Fifty-two men fell upon the field, four officers out of nine were wounded; but still they pressed on. The rebels soon broke and fled with a loss of one hundred and seven men killed and thirty captured. The field of battle gave distinct evi- dence of the fierceness of the conflict. In one place, not ten yards square, lay four dead horses and their fearless riders. This victory was achieved after a march of one hundred and five miles in forty-eight hours, upon one meal, and that little else than salt beef.
When these young heroes returned to St. Louis, they were met by an order to disband them-"for sentiments expressed at Springfield," so the official document read; and the offensive sentiments were "Fremont and Union." No explanation was vouchsafed. The brilliant victory was ignored, and those men, returning triumphant from their first battle-field, were insulted out of the service.
They were refused rations, forage, clothes, and pay; and were reduced to the extremest suffering. General Sturgis went to review them before mustering out; but he was so much impressed by their appearance that he declared himself unable to discharge such men, and so the cere- mony was postponed. Price appeared again upon the line of the railroad, and the demand for the guard placed it at once above par. Compliments were heaped upon the men, the best offers were made them if they remained in the service; but they felt too keenly their former insults, and accordingly were mustered out. The "Fre- mont Body Guard" occupies but one page in history, and none save its slanderers need blush at what is written there. It has been the subject of a graceful little volume entitled The Story of the Guard, written by Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont.

SIXTH OHIO INDEPENDENT CAVALRY COMPANY.
This was raised in Greene and Hamilton counties, in August and September, 1861, rendezvoused at Camp Dennison, and ordered to Washington September 23d. Here it was handsomely equipped and mounted, but not long suffered to remain a distinctive Ohio organiza- tion, being attached presently to the Third New York cavalry as company L, and joining is regiment at Camp Bates, near Poolesville, December 9th. It shared the fortunes of this command in the various campaigns of 1862-3-4, in Virginia and North Carolina, distinguishing itself greatly in the affair of September 6, 1862, at Wash- ington, North Carolina, where it lost ten men and four- teen horses; in the battles of Kingston, White Hall, and Goldsborough Ridge; and in the raids, scouts, skirmishes, and battles around Richmond in the early part of 1864. When the time of its muster-out came, very few were left of the original organization. As an evidence of the abil- ity. of the men who composed this company, it may be

FIRST OHIO VOLUNTEER HEAVY ARTILLERY.
The nucleus of this regiment was the One Hundred and Seventeenth Ohio infantry which was organized September 15, 1862, at Camp Portsmouth. On May 2, 1863, the regiment was ordered by the War Department to be changed into the First heavy artillery, and was re- cruited to the maximum strength of that organization. It served, however, mainly as infantry throughout its whole term. In January, 1864, it was ordered to Knox- ville, Tennessee, where it remained till February 29th, when it started over the mountains, in the snow, for Knoxville, which place was reached March 9th. After various experiences, the command, in the spring of 1865, was brigaded in the Department of the Cumberland, Colonel C. G. Howley, commanding. In connection with General Stoneman's raid and the general advance of troops, the brigade shut all the mountain passes to the retreating rebels in Virginia. After the surrender of Lee and Johnston the brigade was sent down to Ashville, North Carolina, and at Webster, Tennessee, received the surrender of the hostile Indians, under their chief, the rebel General Thomas. Returning to Greenville, Ten- nessee, the regiment remained in camp till July 15th, when it started homeward for the muster-out, and was discharged and paid at Camp Dennison, August 1, 1865.

SECOND OHIO HEAVY ARTILLERY.
By the middle of 1863 the National armies had made important captures of forts and other strongholds belong- ing to the enemy. It became necessary to recruit a class of troops whose duty it should be to fortify, garrison and hold these captures. The One Hundred and Seven- teenth Ohio infantry had already been used as a nucleus for the First heavy artillery, and its ranks had been re- cruited up to the maximum standard. The Second Ohio heavy artillery, consisting of twenty-four hundred men, rank and file, was then authorized. It was made up of twelve batteries or companies, several of which contained men from Hamilton county.

BATTERY 1.
The nucleus of this was a company of light artillery re- cruited by Lieutenant Dammert, under the patronage of the city council of Cincinnati. Its first duty was that of guarding the fortifications and approaches to Cincinnati back of Newport, Mount Adams, and Price's Hill. De- cember 3, 1861, an order was received from the War De- partment, through Adjutant General Buckingham, to muster the battery into the service of the United States. This was done at Camp Dennison, and the organization was designated as battery I, of the First regiment of Ohio light artillery, Colonel James Barnett commanding. January 26, 1862, the battery left Camp Dennison for West Virginia. It first landed at Parkersburgh, and from that place went by rail to New Creek, Virginia. It marched thence to Moorefield, February 10, 1862, and at that place had its first engagement with the enemy. It then returned to New Creek, and went by rail to Clarksburgh, where it lay for three weeks. March 26th the battery moved from Clarksburgh to Beverly, remain- ing at the latter place about ten days. It then moved over Cheat mountain to Monterey, and on April 25th took part in the battle of Dinwiddie's Gap, near Monte- rey. The battery was then taken over to McDowell, and near that place it aided in fighting the battle of Bull Pas- ture Mountain, in which it lost one man killed. Re- treating down the valley to Franklin, it there joined Gen- eral Fremont's forces and went into camp. On the movement of Fremont, it marcked with him to Stras- burgh, and joined in the pursuit of the rebel army under Jackson up the Shenandoah valley to Cross Keys. Here it shared in the battle, losing one man killed and four wounded. After the battle the battery fell back to Mid- dletown, Virginia, and went into camp. July 5th it was again on the march, and, passing through Sperryville and across the Blue mountains, it went into camp at Luray,
Virginia. Its duties while it lay at Inray were very ar- duous, as the enemy was desirous of crossing the moun- tains into Luray valley. In its efforts to prevent this, the battery was almost daily engaged with the enemy. From Luray it marched to Culpeper, and took part in the battle of Slaughter's Mountain. It then fell back to Warrenton, and thence to White Sulphur Springs, where it again engaged the enemy. Reaching Freeman's ford, on the Rappahannock, it was again engaged. It then moved with General Pope's forces, and took part in the second Bull Run battle. It lost twelve men killed and wounded, and twenty-two horses. It also had two of its guns dismounted, and the rest of its pieces were so disa- bled as to be unserviceable. Lieutenant Dammert drew at Washington a complete new outfit. October 1, 1862, it left Washington, marched to Fairfax Court House, and went into camp. November Ist it marched to Thorough- fare gap, and thence to Centreville. Thence it went to Fredericksburgh, and took part in the bombardment of that place. Falling back with the army, it went into winter quarters at Brooks' station. On the opening of the spring compaign, in March, 1863, the battery joined General Hooker's army, and took part in the Chancel- lorsville battle. Here it lost five men killed and six wounded, one gun, and sixteen horses. It then returned to Brooks' station, and on the reorganization of the Po- tomac army marched with it to Gettysburgh. In this battle the battery had four men killed and fifteen wounded, losing also nearly all its horses. Impressing horses from the neighboring farms, it moved with the army in chase of Lee. Crossing the Potomac at Berlin, it went into camp at Catlett's station. In October, 1864, the battery was transferred with the Eleventh and Twelfth corps to the army of the Cumberland, near Chattanooga. Lookout valley was the scene of its first engagement in the west. It was also engaged at Mission Ridge. The battery was then sent with General Sherman's forces to the relief of Knoxville. Returning, it went into camp at Chattanooga, and early in the spring joined in the At- lanta campaign. It was engaged in almost every battle of that campaign ; its losses summed up forty men killed and wounded, and Second Lieutenant John Kortzebue, killed in front of Kenesaw Mountain. From Atlanta the battery returned to Chattanooga, where it remained about three weeks; and its term of service having expired, it was sent to Camp Dennison, and mustered out of the service July 24, 1865. During the whole service of bat- tery I, it was noted for its faithfulness and efficiency, and on numerous occasions was honorably mentioned in offi- cial reports by the generals commanding.
