The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1863-03-06


in taking number of prisoners as well
as securing the teams. The train was
guarded by Go. + of the 18th Ohio,-
Our cavalry was sent out inpursuit Lu4
did not succeed in overtaking them.-
The men were taken few miles beyond
Mooreield and paroled by Capt, Mcneil
one of Imbodies suborlhnales. A few of
the tcamsters and men to load lay were
from this regiment, but none from Wy
andot county. Last Monday our camp
was changed to the west side Of town,
where we have a beautiful camping
ground, and dry in comparison with the
place we lately occupied. We also have
an excellent drill ground. A few days
since we were informed that through the
exertions of Col. Wilson--who always
tries and generally succeeds in getting
everything that will increase the comfort
Or promote the efficiency Of his men, our
old guns were to be exchanged for new
Springfield Rifles" 10 day the ex-
change was effected, and now the men
feel SO much .rejoiced !hereat, that they
think they are y match for II force OF
rebels, much superior in number to their
own, and are all anxious for chance to
try them upon the hated "secesh.'
There has been several designations
lately among the officers Of the regiment,
owing to their inability to withstand the
exposure and fatigue consequent upon a
soldiers lille, among those who have re-
signed and gone home are Capt's. Berry,
Neuman. Kilkwood, Reed, Lieut's. In
gtrson and Martin. The gene.aI health Of
the regiment is improving. Quite a
number OF those who Were sick in the
hospital at Cumberland, have regained
thelr usual health and returned to the
Regiment for duty. L.eut's Robbins
aud Ferris who were home sick have re-
TUNED.
Death has again visited our company,
and taken one of the best boys, and one
whom we ali deeply mourn. One who
was quiet and unobtrusive, having but
tie 10 say, always re,dy for the per.
folmance of any duty that might be as
signed him. Not addicted to any bad
hobts whatever buta strictly moral and
upright boy. Al xauder Go hers was
TAX with Typhoid fever a day or two
previous to our arrival at this place. and
fingered ill "a rIay night. Jan. l7th
wh,n he passed away. lie was cheered
IN his dying moments by the presence
of his father, who in obedience TO notice
of his illness, had arrived here the day
previous to his death.
The purpose in retaining a force here
at present appears to be, that of acting
as a rear quad for the railroad, the near
est point on which is only distant six
teen miles. Milroy is at Winchester,
with his force performing tho same duty
there, and the intervening country be-
tween here and there is occasionally
secured over by our cavalry.
Our regiment is sill in the 2l brigade
