During the latter part of August, the Twenty-sixth, together with the Seventeenth and Fifty-eighth Indiana Regiments, routed Forest's division of cavalry near McMinn- ville, Tenn. In the battle of Stone River, the Twenty-sixth held its position, notwithstand- ing all the army on its right was routed, and its line repeatedly charged for hours by heavy columns of the enemy flushed with victory, yet they were every time repulsed with terri- ble slaughter.

THIRTIETH OHIO INFANTRY.
Company E, of the Thirtieth Ohio Infantry, was organized by Capt. Elijah Warner, at Jerome, Union County, Ohio, in the month of August, 1861, and marched thence to Camp Chase, a distance of twenty miles, where it ar- rived on the 19th day of August. On the 29th, the company was mustered into the United States service, with the following commissioned officers: Elijah Warner, Captain ; Henry R. Brinkerhoff, First Lieutenant, and Henry Hensel, Second Lieutenant.
The Thirtieth Ohio Volunteer Infantry was organized at Camp Chase on the 28thi of Au- gust, 1861, under Col. John Groesbeck, who was soon succeeded by Col. Hugh Ewing. On the 30th, the regiment was ordered into the field, and on the 2d of September arrived at Clarksburg, W. Va., then moved forward to Weston, where it received its first out- fit of camp and garrison equipage. On Sep- tember 6, the regiment joined Gen. Rosecrans at Sutton Heights, leaving four companies, D, F, G, and I, at this place and two, C, and E. at Big Birch Bottom, the remainder of the regiment moved forward and on the evening of the 10th discerned the enemy near Gawley River, at Carnifex Ferry, where a sharp en- counter ensued; night coming on, ended the battle. Early on the following morning, it was discovered that the enemy had evacuated their position and retreated across the river.
Col. Ewing was the first man to enter the deserted fortifications. He found, amid a multitude of camp and garrison spoils, two fine French dress swords; one bearing the coat of arms of Napoleon I, and a stand of colors bearing the following inscription:
" FLOYD'S BRIGADE."
" The price of Liberty is the blood of the Brave." On December 25, the regiment held its first dress parade at Fayetteville, and from this time until August, 1862, served in detach- ments. On the 16th, the Thirtieth started to join the army in Eastern Virginia ; the right

wing reported for duty at Gen. Pope's head- quarters on the 26th, and after the engage- ment at Centerville the left wing joined the right, having been under fire but not engaged with the musketry in the battle at this place.
On the 2d of September, the regiment was relieved from duty at Gen. Pope's headquar- ters and joined its brigade-the First-at Up- ton Hills. On the 7th, it moved to Fred- erick City, Md., and on the 14th arrived at. South Mountain where a severe struggle with the enemy took place, with a loss of eighteen men killed and forty-eight wounded. In this engagement Company E suffered most severely, having one killed and six wounded.
In the battle at Antietam, the Thirtieth, lack- ing proper support, was thrown into slight confusion and compelled to fall back. It lost three officers killed and two wounded, eight men killed and thirty-seven wounded. The National colors were torn in fourteen places by the enemy's balls, and two color-bearers, Sergts. Saxie Carter and Nathan J. White, fell dead on the field. A stand of colors was res- cued on this occasion by David McKim, of Company E.
On the 10th of October, the Thirtieth moved into West Virginia, and on the 13th of Novem- ber went into camp near Cannelton. A few weeks later, it started on a march into Logan County, returning with seventeen prisoners and seventy-five horses. In January, 1863, it moved down the Ohio and Mississippi to join Gen. Grant's army, and on arriving at Helena, Ark., was assigned to the Third Brigade, Sec- ond Division of the Fifteenth Army Corps. On the 21st it landed at Youngs Point, and for a few weeks worked on the canal at that place. In March it moved to the relief of some gun- boat in Steel's Bayou, returning to Young's Point on the 28th.
On the 29th of April, the regiment embarked on the R. B. Hamilton, and with other troops engaged in a demonstration on Haines' Bluffs. In May, it joined in the movement upon Vicks- burg, and from the 20th until the surrender of this stronghold the regiment was constantly engaged either in fatigue and picket duty or in assaulting the enemy's works. The loss of the Thirtieth during the siege was one commissioned officer killed and six wounded, six men killed and forty-eight wounded. After the surren- der of Vicksburg, the regiment pursued John- son to Jackson, and upon the evacuation of that place returned and went into camp at Black River.
On the 26th of September, it moved with Sherman via Memphis to Chattanooga, and on the 25th of October participated in the as- sault upon Mission Ridge, losing thirty-nine men killed and wounded.
In November, the Thirtieth followed in pur- suit of the retreating rebels, returning to Bridgeport, Ala., on the 19th of December; during this time the men were compelled to subsist off the country with the exception of
two days' rations issued on the 29th day of November.
In January, 1864, the regiment re-enlisted, and after the furlough home joined Sherman's forces at Kingston, Ga., on the 20th of May. On the 23d, it started on the march through Dallas and Acworth, and on the 19th of June arrive.l at the foot of Kenesaw Mountain ; during this march, the 30th was almost continuously under fire. It took an active part in the battle on the 26th, losing thirty-five men killed and wounded. On July 2, the regiment moved toward At- lanta, and on the 22d was attacked and thrown into some confusion at first, but soon rallied and succeeded in repulsing the enemy, not, however, without considerable loss. On the 28th, the regiment gallantly stood its ground and resisted four successive attacks of the en- emy, losing thirty men killed and wounded. ITnder its fire, the foe forsook a stand of colors ; and in its immediate front 105 dead rebels were found.
The Thirtieth was transferred to the First Brigade on the 5th of August, and on the 29th the non-veterans were mustered out. On the 3Ist, the rebels attacked the line of the First Brigade, but were repulsed, the Thirtieth los- ing in this encounter twenty-five men killed and wounded.
On the 2d of September, Jonesboro was evacuated by the enemy, the regiment pursu- ing them to Lovejoy's Station. After spend- ing several weeks in camp at East Point, the Thirtieth followed in the pursuit of Hood's army into Alabama, returned to Atlanta, then marched to Fort McAllister and took part in the successful assault on that place.
After the fall of Savannah, the regiment passed through the Carolinas, having a sharp engagement with Johnson at Bentonville, and frequent skirmishes with the enemy. It ar- rived at Goldsboro March 24, 1865 ; then pro- ceeded to Raleigh on the 14th of April, and aided in the capture of Johnson's army.
The Thirtieth marched to Washington via Richmond, and after passing in review, moved to Louisville, Ky., and thence to Little Rock, Ark. Here the regiment remained in camp until mustered out August 21, 1865, having participated in twenty different engagements, and having its colors shot in almost every battle.

MILITARY RECORD.
THIRTY-FIRST OHIO INFANTRY.
The Thirty-first Ohio Infantry was organ- ized at Camp Chase, in August, 1861, under Col. Moses B. Walker.
Company F, of this regiment, was recruited in Union County, and mustered into the serv- ice with A. J. Sterling as Captain ; J. A. Cahill, First Lieutenant; John Hartshorn, Second Lieutenant, and J. J. Miller, First Sergeant.
Of the one hundred and fifteen men from this county who served in Company F, twenty-four died on the field and in the hos- pitals, twenty-eight were wounded, and five were taken prisoners. Several other com- panies of this regiment also contained repre- sentatives from Union County.
About the 1st of October, the Thirty-first crossed the Ohio River and entered Kentucky, where it was disciplined, drilled, and pre- pared for the duties of the field. In January, 1862, it marched to the assistance of Gen. Thomas, and took part in the battle of Mill Springs, after which it was assigned to the First Brigade, First Division, Army of the Ohio.
It joined Buell's army at Nashville, moved to Pittsburg Landing, then took part in the siege of Corinth. In June, it moved upon Iuka, and, after its capture, proceeded toward Tuscumbia. The Thirty-first continued to oper- ate in Tennessee until Buell's campaign in Kentucky opened, when it participated in that terrible march from Battle Creek to Louisville, and was present at the battle of Perryville, Ky. In November, the regiment, unaided by other troops, defeated a brigade of Confederate cavalry, commanded by Gen. Bazel Duke, near Gallatin, Tenn.
