FOURTH OHIO BATTERY.
This was organized at Cincinnati by Captain Lewis Hoffman, in August, 1861, was mustered in on the sev-
enteenth, left camp the next day, and reported in St. Louis August 21st. It there received a full equipment of James' rifled guns and all other necessaries. It was assigned to duty with General Siegel's division, and ac- companied it in all its operations in southeastern Mis- souri. Springfield was occupied February 13, 1862, Price having evacuated it the night before. The battery joined in the pursuit, which continued for a week, and had frequent engagements with the rebel rear. At Ben- tonville, Arkansas, on the return, the rear of the Federal force was in turn attacked, and was covered in its move- ments by the Fourth. March 7th it moved with Oster- haus' division to the battle of Pea Ridge, in which it was very closely engaged, losing four men and one cais- son captured, three men wounded, and one horse killed. It then marched over terribly bad roads to Helena, Ar- kansas, reaching that place July 14th. August 16th it was in an expedition to Milliken's Bend, where it cap- tured the rebel steamer Fair Play, loaded with munitions of war for Price's army. August 16th, at the same place, a rebel infantry regiment was surprised and put to flight, and its entire equipment captured. During September the battery was in camp at Helena, and encamped at Pilot Knob, Missouri, during part of October and No- vember. Returning to Helena November 23d, it was taken thence to Camp Steele, Mississippi, and remained there till December 19th, when it joined Sherman's ex- pedition against Vicksburgh, and was prominent in the assault at Chickasaw Bayou. It was also engaged at the capture of Arkansas Post, January 11, 1863, and had a gun disabled by a solid shot from the enemy. January 29th the battery took position at Perkins' plantation, on the Mississippi, to keep transports from going up to Vicksburgh. There and at Ballard's farm it did such duty till April 2d, when it was taken to Greenville and watched the enemy until the twenty-sixth, when it started anew for Millikin's Bend. In May it moved to Grand Gulf, and thence with the army to Vicksburgh, where it held its place in the lines till the surrender. It partici- pated in the pursuit of Johnston, and in front of Jackson fired nearly five hundred rounds into the city. Septem- ber 22d it was again at Vicksburgh; September 28th at Memphis, where a caisson exploded and killed three privates. October 2d it was in the battle of Iuka, and in other sharp encounters about this time. In Novem- ber it made the long march from the Tennessee near Chickasaw to Chattanooga, arriving on the twenty-third, and joining the rest of the Fifteenth corps. November 24th it, with its division (Osterhaus'), was in the battle of Lookout Mountain. At Mission Ridge two of the six-pound rifles of the battery were exchanged for four twelve-pounders taken from the enemy. In December it was mostly in camp at Larkinsville, Alabama, moving thence to Woodville, January 1, 1864, where it remained in camp four months. May Ist, with the First division of the Fifteenth corps, it headed for Atlanta; was in the battles of Resaca, Dallas, New Hope Church, Kenesaw, Atlanta (where it rescued the captured guns of an Illi- nois battery), and Ezra Church (where it was exceedingly imperiled), and in many minor affairs.

its term having expired, it was relieved on the battle- ground by infantry, reached Cincinnati on the twenty- third, and was mustered out on the twenty-ninth. Those of its recruits whose terms had not expired were assigned to duty with the Tenth Ohio battery.

FIFTH OHIO BATTERY.
This was recruited by authority of General Fremont, then in command in Missouri. On the twenty-second of September, 1861, the organization was effected, and on the eleventh of October it was ordered to Jefferson City. Before the arrival there, General Fremont was removed from his command, and a long period elapsed before suf- ficient arms and equipments could be procured to fit the regiment for service. March 7, 1862, the battery shipped on a steamer, proceeded to Savannah, Tennessee, and thence to Pittsburgh Landing. On the fifth of April it joined the command of General Prentiss, encamped not far from Shiloh church. In the engagement the next day, it lost in this, its first battle, one man killed, twenty wounded, two pieces, four caissons, sixty-five horses, and all camp and garrison equipage. General Grant now or- ganized a force to move down into Mississippi by land, to operate against Vicksburgh; and in a few days, the entire army at Corinth, except a garrison for the place, moved westward, the sixth division stopping for the time at Grand Junction, Tennessee.
On the eleventh of November, Lieutenant Burton, who was wounded at the battle of Pittsburgh Landing, and since his recovery had been with his lately recruited men watching Kirby Smith's movements near Cincin- nati, joined and took command of the Fifth at Grand Junction. The next day it started with the rest of Gen- eral Grant's army southward into Mississippi, and reached Holly Springs on the twenty-ninth. On the twelfth of December, the battery went into camp at Yocana creek, eleven miles south of Oxford, which was the turning point of its march, though the cavalry went some distance farther. The surrender at Holly Springs, and the consequent loss of stores, put the men at once on three-quarter, and soon on half rations. January 5, 1863, the division marched to Holly Springs and re- mained up to the tenth, forming the rear-guard of the army. During the entire march, going south and re- turning, the destruction by fire was immense; and the climax was reached the night before the last troops left Holly Springs by the burning of more than half the town. On the seventeenth of May orders came to em- bark for Vicksburgh. The two months of previous in- action had put the battery in the best possible condi- tion. On the passage down the river, the fleet of trans- ports was fired into by guerillas, and a number of sol- diers were killed and wounded. In retaliation, the troops landed and burned the village of Greenville. On the first of June the battery took position before Vicks- burgh in the siege proper, and was not again off duty till the end of the siege. On the morning of July 4th,

two hours after the surrender, the battery started in pur- suit of Johnston. The first day's march was the most in- tensely hot, dusty, and exhausting the men had proba- bly ever experienced, though they travelled only ten miles. The expedition was under General Sherman, and consisted of the Thirteenth, of which the Fourth battery was then part, the Fifteenth and the Ninth army corps. Jackson was reached on the eleventh. The morning of July 17th found the city evacuated by the rebels, and it was at once occupied by our troops, who pursued Johnston no further. Nearly all the large buildings in the place had been burned at its former oc- cupation, and the work was now completed. . Four days afterward the march back to Vicksburgh began, and ended on the twenty-fourth, without notable incident. The battery was now ordered to Helena, Arkansas, and, arriving there, started September 13th, with other troops, with the intention of capturing ard occupying Little Rock. Before starting, and on the way, there was much sickness; at one time there were but two well men in the entire command. A period of rest now occurred, dur- ing which the battery reached its proper standard by the arrival of recruits from Ohio. It formed a part of the army of occupation of Arkansas, and of the garrison of Little Rock for the remainder of its term of service. On the twentieth of September, those of the original command who were left, excepting fifteen who had re- enlisted, were mustered out and returned home. The battery was then remustered into service, and recruits gave it nearly its original strength. July 31, 1865, the war being over, the battery finally ceased to exist.

SEVENTH OHIO BATTERY.
This battery was organized at Camp Dennison and mustered into the United States service January 1, 1862. April 11th it arrived at Pittsburgh Landing and reported to General Grant. On the 20th the advance on Corinth was commenced, and the Seventh moved with the army until the evacuation of that place. At Coldwater, Ten- nessee, it had a skirmish with the enemy. At the Big Hatchie, the rebels were met and routed. Between De- cember 12, 1862, and January 6, 1865, this command bore honorable part at Vicksburgh Jackson, Mississippi, Natchez and Meridian. At the latter date the captain and fifty-one men were mustered out of service, by rea- son of expiration of term of enlistment. After this time the men did duty as infantry at Jackson until July, 1865, when, at Camp Chase, they were mustered out, paid and discharged.

TENTH OHIO BATTERY.
On the third of March, 1862, this battery completed its organization. Its first movement was to St. Louis, thence to Pittsburgh Landing. Afterwards it was in re- serve at the siege of Corinth, and at Iuka did garrison duty. October 4th, near Corinth, it had a successful skir- mish with the rebels, whom it pursued as far as Ripley, when it retunred to Corinth. The next movement was to Grand Junction and into Mississippi. It then formed part of the garrison of Holly Springs. After numerous changes of location, and many long and dangerous marches, on the twenty-eighth of July the battery entered
Vicksburgh, and camped just above the cemetery. In August only seventeen of seventy-two men were fit for duty. The garrison during the winter, received about ninety recruits. Thirty-two, out of fifty-four eligible men, re-enlisted, and on the eighth of April, 1864, the com- mand left for Cairo. At Ackworth it became a part of the Fourth division of the Seventeenth army corps. On the tenth of June it took position at the front, and, with the exception of July 4th, was engaged every day for a month in front of Kenesaw Mountain and at Nicojack Creek. March 13, 1865, the Fourth and Tenth Ohio batteries were consolidated. They were mustered out at Camp Dennison, July 17, 1865. The name of the ·Tenth was retained by the consolidated batteries.

ELEVENTH OHIO BATTERY.
This was recruited in Hamilton, Athens, Butler, Vin- ton, and Wyandot counties, August 20th to September with 15, 1861, and mustered in at St. Louis October 27th, one hundred and fifty-seven men. It had two six-pound rifles, two six-pound smooth-bores, and two twelve-pound howitzers, with full equipment. October 26th, at de- partment headquarters, the battery was presented by Mrs. Fremont with a superb silk guidon. Its earlier service in Missouri was severe, but not particularly eventful. It was in the affair at New Madrid and Island No. 10, and brought in two rebel six-pounders as trophies. It went with General Pope to Hamburgh Landing and Corinth, where it was heavily engaged, and participated in the chase to Ripley. At the battle of Iuka it was charged three times, and lost two officers and fifty-five men killed and wounded, more than half of the entire number it had on the field, besides all their horses and all their harness and equipments. It was subsequently engaged in the siege of Vicksburgh, and the battles of Raymond, Clinton, Jackson, and Champion Hills, served in Steele's expedition to Little Rock, where it became sharply en- gaged; and thereafter was occupied with train-guard and garrison duty, and comparatively unimportant expedi-
