loughs are revoked, except as to commissioned officers absent on sick leave, on orders, or by virtue of certificate of disability duly filled as required by the Regulations of the War Department.
You will make special effort to secure prompt and thorough compliance with this order. All inen who are absent from General Hospitals will return to the hospitals from which they were furloughed. All others will report to their respective posts, companies, or regiments. if the same are within convenient reach; if not, they will report to the General Rendezvous in this city, to be forwarded thence as soon as possible.
The intention of this order is to put every man belonging to the military service on his proper duty or at his post at once.
You will see that every facility is afforded for the prompt and convenient return of all those who comply with this order, and all who make themselves deserters by failing to report will be arrested and brought to these headquarters.
Very resp'y, your obd't serv't, BENJ. NESBITT, Capt. and Proc. Ml. ith Dist. Ohio.
In the summer of 1863, the whole militia force of Ohio was mobilized to a limited extent; the State was divided into company districts and officers chosen. The result bere was as follows, so far as Captains were elected. See also orders on another page:
First Regiment, Company A, William Blakeney; Company B, W. G. Mi- chael; Company C. John D. Petticrew; Company D, Reuben Rose; Company E, Dixon Harrison: Company F, Benjamin Dye; Company G, William Wright; Company H, J. R. Bretney; Company I, 31. Castle.

This force of one brigade went into camp once or twice, and the next win- ter the law was changed, which ended the trouble for the time being.
AID SOCIETIES.
The people of this county are somewhat noted for the readiness with which they engage in almost any philanthropic work. Reform movements of many sorts have from time to time found advocates among the citizens here, and when the importunate demands of war were made, not only for the best blood of the North, but for lint and bandages to stanch its flow, this feature of the popular character found ample scope for exercising itself.
The first local indication of the coming of this avalanche of benevolence, so far as can be learned now, was the announcement from the pulpit of the High Street Methodist Church, that the "Mite Society" of that congregation would thereafter devote its energies to the pressing needs of the camps and hospitals of the volunteers: this announcement was made on Sunday, October 20, 1861. To be sure there had been blankets aud provisions collected before that date, and much other work accomplished, yet the peculiar characteristics of the well-known "Soldiers' Aid Societies" seem to indicate that there was one principal source from which they emanated, viz., the outflowing of the currents of Christian patriotism from those reservoirs of moral force kuowu

as the "churches." From this time to the end of the war, these currents became wider and deeper, until. in 1862, the perfectly organized and thoroughly estab- lished United States Sanitary and Christian Commissions became one of the grandest combinations for the accomplishment of good to mankind that the world ever saw. To assert that Clark County did more than any other county of the same class would savor of the spirit of boasting; to say that less was done would not be true, therefore the record must be examined.
In the autumn of 1863, the project of holding a fair for the benefit of the above commissions was launched by the Cincinnati Daily Gazette (in its issue of November 7), in an editorial entitled: "Who speaks for Cincinnati?" To this came responses from far and near which resulted in an organization of all minor societies into auxiliary subdivisions. This county was set in motion by a "call" from certain prominent workers here for a meeting of ladies, which was held at the house of Mrs. R. D. Harrison, on the 3d of December, 1863. At this meeting, over which Mrs. Maj. William Hunt presided, and of which Miss Mary Clokey was Secretary, the following gentlemen were chosen as committee men, etc., to represent this county at the fair, at Cincinnati.
E. B. Cassily. President Clark County Auxiliary; John W. Baldwin, Vice President; John C. Childs, Treasurer: C. M. Nichols. Secretary.
Executive Committee-William Hunt, John Howell, W. N. Chamberlain, Dr. B. Neff. S. W. Sterrett, Perry Stewart, Israel Stough, W. D. Baker, J. M. Benson, Harmon Spencer, John Snyder, E. S. Weakley, John Minich, H. C. Houston, Washington Ward, K. McLeman, William Warder, A. P. L. Cochran, James Torbert, John Carpening, A. L. Runyan, John Law, George H. Frey, David King, Marsh Steele. R. L. King, William Wright, A. C. Black, Joseph Cathcart, R. D. Harrison, Asa S. Bushnell, G. S. Foos, James A. Bean, John C. Miller.
These gentlemen were to collect and arrange the donations from this county. E. B. Cassily, R. D. Harrison and two or three others were chosen to represent the county at the fair. In addition to all this a score of smaller groups were at work. Here is a sample of one of these:
YOUNG LADIES' SEWING SOCIETY FOR THE GREAT WESTERN SANITARY FAIR. ,
MRS. J. S. GOODE, President.
MISS JENNIE KING, Secretary.
MISS ANNIE CUMMING, Treasurer. Managers:
MRS. S. A. BOWMAN, MRS. G. W. BENNS, MRS. JOHN FOOS, MISS SARAH BAKER, MISS
EMMA TORBERT.
For several weeks the good work went on, and, at the close of the fair, the prize was awarded to Clark County as having made the largest donation of any county represented. This prize was a beautiful silken banner, upon which was inscribed, " This banner is awarded to Clark County, whose people contrib- uted $5,580. The Great Western Sanitary Fair paid $234,000 to the Sanitary Commission, Cincinnati, December, 1863."
This banner was given to E. B. Cassily as representative of the county interests. Where it is now is not known, but it is supposed to be in safe keeping, in the absense of any proper place to deposit such articles.
So without boasting, it can be said that our people, as a whole, did excel in the high labor of doing for the needy, during the dark days of civil war.
It should perhaps have been stated that the first record of any work of this nature was the begging and collection of blankets and provisions for the volun- teers in Camp Clark. The committee in charge of that duty was composed of John C. Miller, J. W. Baldwin. G. S. Foos, J. H. Littler, J. L. Petticrew, John B. Hagan.

HISTORY OF CLARK COUNTY.
At this late date, the names of the most prominent workers cannot all be obtained; yet, after a period of four months of constant association with the people of to-day, in a search after such truths as may be found fit for use here, the writer feels warranted in recording the following names as being among those who were leaders in this noble work: Mrs. R. D. Harrison, Mrs. Dr. John H. Rogers (deceased), Mrs. N. Kinsman, Mrs. C. M. Nichols, Mrs. P. P. Mast, Mrs. William Hunt, Mrs. Alfred Williams, Mrs. Nimrod Myers, Miss Fannie Rogers, Miss Mary Clokey, Mrs. Peter Schindler, Mrs. Oscar Bancroft, Mrs. William Wright, Miss Belle Montjoy, Mrs. Col. Sanderson.
CLARK COUNTY'S EX-SOLDIERS.
In the preparation of the following list, great pains has been taken to make it as complete and correct as was possible to do. Nearly all the names have been printed in a newspaper of good circulation, and the benefit of corrections thus obtained : yet, without doubt, many names are omitted- others are spelled wrong, some names are misplaced, etc., but for all this, it is the only list of the men who went from this county, and is as near correct as cau well be, until revised, which every year makes more difficult to do. With all its errors, be they few or many, it is, as a whole, better than no list.
The names of deserters, when duly an- thenticated, have been left out. Soldiers who were discharged for disability are not designated as having been so discharged, for the reason that such items of personal history are known only to the records of the Government.
The following "key" has been arranged to save space, and at the same time to ex. press facts. its use has been extended in some instances, by a combination of the same letters, thus, w-p -- d is to be read. wounded, prisoner, died : d-w, died of wounds, etc.
Personal extolment has been avoided except when merit demanded special meui- tion.
SPRINGFIELD ZOUAVE CADETS, (MASON'S) CO. F, SECOND O. V. I. (3 MONTHS).
EXPLANATORY .- Those names with i did not re-enter the service ; of those marked with an * nothing is known ; these marked with a gare veterany, while those in capi- tals are those who have given up their lives as a sacri- fire nyon the altar of their country. The reference marks should apply to this company oply.
By favor of Col. David King, the follow- ing extract is made from an old record book. in the handwriting of Col. Edwin C. Mason, now Major in the U. S. A. "A number of gentlemen met in the old Light Guard's Armory, on Monday evening, September 10.
1860. and organized the Springfield Zouave Cadets. A committee of three was ap. pointed to draft a Constitution, who at a subsequent meeting reported the following. etc."
The next spring found this corps ready to respond to the call for 75.000 men. It was the first company in Ohio to offer its services after the firing upon Fort Sumter, and was one of the pioneer bodies which led the van of three hundred and ten thou- sand men in Ohio's tribute to the Union.
The following record of the officers and men of Co. F.Second O. V. I. (3 months). has. with considerable labor, been prepared by Col. David King and Capt. F. O. Com- mings. Some of the members, non-resi- dents of this city, left for their homes im- mediately upon the mustering out of the company, and it has been impossible to obtain any information respecting them or their whereabouts.
The company, it will be remembered, was organized under President Lincoln's first call for 75,000 volunteers, and left this city for the seat of war on the morning of Wednesday, April 17, 1861. The record has been prepared with great care, and it is thought it is correct, and it is to be regret- tell that it could not be fully completed.
Marion A. Ross, who was hanged by the rebels in Georgia, was one of the famous raiding party sent out by Gen. Mitchell. from Tennessee : they were captured. and after a long and cruel imprisonment-with the exception of fice who escaped-were hanged.

THIRD OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY, CO. D (VANANDA'S), FORMERLY OLD SPRING- FIELD LIGHT ARTILLERY.
This company was a regularly established body of militia, before the breaking-out of the war ; in its ranks was some of the best blood of the county. It promptly responded to the call to arms. The 16th of April found it at Columbus, where it was mustered into the service of the United States for three months. On the 3d day of May, following, it was re-organized for three years. Gen. J. Warren Keifer was a private in this company when it left Clark County. He was chosen Major during the organizations at Columbus. This article is compiled from data furnished by Maj. James C. Vananda. It is somewhat confused as to three months' and three years' men, but is believed to contain every name of both services.

16TH O. V. I. (THREE MONTHS). KNOWN AS THE JEFFERSON GUARDS.
This regiment was one of the first to re- spond to the call of President Lincoln for $5,000 men, upon the outbreak of the war. Co. E was from Springfield, and contained many first-class men. among whom were quite a number of students from Wittenberg College. The late Capt. Leci M. Rhinchart, of the Eleventh Ohio Cavalry, who was killed by the Indians. February 20, 1865, was a member of this company, and was promoted to First Lieutenant and Regi- mental Quartermaster for the three months service. Seth R. Arbogast was also a mem- ber, but being sick with fever, was unable to muster ; so his name is not borne upon the official rolls. Of the one hundred and four men who composed this company, forty- three became commissioned officers during the progress of the war. Two were Cap- tains, killed at Gettysburg, while many others have become prominent in the min- istry and at the bar. The Sixteenth Regi- ment served in Western Virginia, was in the battles of Philippi, Rich Mountain and Car- rick's Ford. In the early part of May, 1801, the ladies of Springfield prepared a fine set of silken colors, and presented them to the Sixteenth ; these colors were after-
