THE ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FOURTH O. V. I.


was one of the regiments raised under the last call of President Lincoln, to serve for one year. It was organized at Camp Chase, on the 21st of February, 1865. and was at once ordered to Nashville, Tenn. It per- formed garrison duty, and was frequently brought in contact with the rebel guerrilla forces. A number of prisoners were taken, at the expense of a few casualties. The One Hundred and Eighty-fourth was com- posed of fine material, many of the mem- bers having served three years, and there is no doubt but it would have made an excel- lent record had he immediate termination of the war not required it to be mustered out of the service, which event took place at Camp Chase, Ohio, on the 27th of Sep- tember, 1865. Clark County was repre- sented by the following named men :

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGHTH NATIONAL GUARD.


In the sketch of the Thirty-fifth Battalion, the statement was made that it was reduced to six companies, relettered, etc. The bat- talion was condensed to seven companies, six of which were disposed of asstated, while the seventh company ( Retter's) was united to the Fayette County Battalion, which was designated the One Hundred and Sixty- eighth regiment, and was mustered into the United States service on the 19th of May. 1864. This corps was assigned to duty along the railroads in Kentucky. with a main de- tachment at Cynthiana ; there they had a sharp fight with the rebel cavalry and lost some prisoners, Col. Garis being severely wounded, and some eight or ten men killed, and as many more wounded. Another de- tachment of this regiment captured .one hundred horses, seventy-five stands of arms and twenty-six prisoners. The One Hun- dred and Sixty-eighth was armed with old- fashioned Harper's Ferry muskets, of an inferior quality. On the 6th day of Sep- tember the regiment was discharged and paid off, after serving twenty days beyond the expiration of its term of service.

The rest of the members were detailed from the ranks. The organization was completed late in the fall of 1861, at Benton Barracks, near St. Louis, Mo., where the regimeat was also quartered.


On the morning of January 27, 1862, the Thirteenth left St. Louis, going by rail to Smithfieldl. Ky .. where it remained a short time : thence to Fort Henry, but arrived too late to take part in the action, as the gunboats had accomplished all the work. Next was a twelve-mile march across the country to Fort Donelson, and was present at the surrender of that work. The band was the first to enter the fort, and made its walls resound with "Hail Columbia." "Yankee Doodle." etc. The band was with the regiment at Shiloh, and at the evacua- tion of Corinth. Soon after, an order was issued doing away with all regimental bands, and the musicians were discharged and sent hone.

thirty or forty miles Being misled by what purported to be the official report of a former English expedition, which proved to be en- tirely fictitious, the party became lost in the impenetrable jungles and swamps of the country ; a great number of them perished of starvation, bites of poisonous insects and fatigue.

On the 29th of September, 1873, the first sixteen names on the following roll, were signed to an article kuown since as the " Old Private Roll ;" the organization was named the Springfield Light Guard.


On the 22d of February. 1874. the number of men having increased to about forty, who had purchased arms and a cheap fatigue uniform, the company made its first public. parade. On the 30th of April. 1874, the company was accepted by Gen. James O. Amos, and became a part of the "Ohio In- dependent Militia," as one branch of the Active Militia of the State was then called.


On the 5th of November. 1875, by request of the company, the Adjutant General issued an order changing the name of the company from Springfield Light Guard to the "Champion City Guard ;" this was with regard for the combined " Champion interests" of this city, which had made a liberal donation to the uniform fund. In 1876, when the National Guard of Ohio was organized into regiments, the company was assigned to the Seventh Regiment of In- fantry, as Company A, which designation it yet holds.


It received the special thanks of the Gov- ernor for services at Newark, Ohio, during the "labor troubles" of ist. where it served for a period of sixteen days.


The company was oneof the first in the State to take any interest in riffe practice. and from fonds contributed by a portion of the members, Tecumseh Rithe Range, near Springfield, was established and equipped. At this range the first regular system of rifle practice in the present National Guard of Ohio was begun.
