on duty with his regiment, serving in all its battles, till at the battle of Antietam, Sept. 17th, 1862, he was hit by a ball a little above the right knee cutting an artery, thereby causing a rapid flow of blood. But taking his handkerchief he bound it up so as to be able to go a short distance, but fell upon the field, where the various tides of the battle left him among friends and foes alternately, but in the excitement of battle receiving help from none.

erans to reenlist, engaging wtih the government for a new term of service .. At the battle of Winchester, Sept. 19th, 1864, he carried the colors of his regiment, and was promoted sergeant for meritorious service. While planting his colors on the breastworks of the enemy at Petersburg, he received a slight wound in the arm with a musket ball. It is claimed by his fellow soldiers that Sargent was the first to plant his colors on the enemy's works, when they yielded to the boys in blue, on that eventful April 2d ; and, judging from the order of the brigade, as stated in the report of Brevet Major Barber to Gen. Grant, the 5th Regiment being the leading regiment of the brigade, this soldier has a fair claim to that honor. Soon after the battle Lieut. Col. Kennedy, commanding 5th Regiment, suggested to the other officers that he should have a commis- sion, being entitled to one if any soldier was; and he was accordingly promoted first lieutenant, Co. K, May 10th, 1865. He was mustered out of service June 29th, 1865, and received $400 government bounty. Time of service, three years, ten months and twelve days.

At my request he has given me a short account of his experi- ence as a prisoner, which I here transcribe :
" I was taken prisoner by the noted rebel Mosby, on the night of Oct. 26th, 1863, near Hargenton, Va., while on the march with the command to which I was attached, the 2d Brig- ade Horse Artillery Cavalry Corps. I was in charge of quite a large wagon train, directly in rear of the brigade, but, as some my horses were contrary, I was detained and consequently got some distance behind. Mosby, with seventy picked men, had been secreted all the evening in the woods near the road, wait- ing for just such an opportunity, (a wagon train with no guard,) consequently they quickly improved it, and in a very few min- utes I found myself really a prisoner of war, and in the hands of that awful Mosby. We were marched nearly all night, and found ourselves next morning near Thoroughfare Gap, Va., where we bivouacked till nearly noon, and then were started for Gen. J. B. Stewart's headquarters, where we arrived the next night. This was the last of our being under Mosby's charge ; and I may here say that the treatment of Mosby and his officers was quite as good as might be expected. Many of his men were heartless, rough creatures, and robbed us of blankets, watches and money. I escaped personally with the loss of nothing but ' greenbacks.' Mosby was quite gentlemanly in his appear- ance, and treated me with the respect due from one officer to another. Gen. Stewart sent us on the same night to Culpepper Court House, where my brother and I were allowed a room by ourselves, and the cold, hard floor for a bed. Next day we
