volunteers, of which he was made the Colonel,
with commission dated July 30, 1861. The
regiment served in Tennessee and Kentucky.
under Gems. Sherman, Anderson and Buell.,
and many times has the name of its gallant
commander been before the public, until the
government about the middle of last year ap-
pointed him a full Brigadier General, and he
was placed in charge of the ninth brigade of
the army of the Ohio. He had often acted as
brigadier general in charge of that brigade
while in Kentucky, Tennessee, and at Pittsburg
Landing. When Gen. Buell., at the end of
September, re-organized the army Of the Ohio,
Gen. Sill was placed in command of the sec
ond division, which, although attached to
Gen. McCooks corps, acted somewhat inde-
pendently of it. 1t was this division that
pushed on so rapidly after the successful skir-
mish at Floyd's Fork, KY, on the 1st of Octo-
Der, 1862.
The force then marched upon and occupied
Shelbyville and Hardinsville, KY, and moving
across Benson's Creek, entered and occupied
Frankfort on the afternoon of the 9th of Octo-
Der. 1t then pushed on to Lexington, Ky.,
but the battle ofPerryville or Chaplin's Hill,
on the 9Th, somewhat delayed its operations.
Gen. Buell. reuniting his command after that
battle, Gen. Sill's division ceased to act indie
pendently and moved on with the main body.
When Gen. Rosecrans superseded Gen. Buell.,
and reorganized the army of the Ohio into the
Fourteenth army corps, Gen. Sill was placed
in charge of the fourth brigade, formerly un-
der Gen. Rousseau, and was attached to the
second division and right wing, or Gen. Nc
Cooks corps, and in that capacity he fell at
Murfreesboro. Gen. Sill was a little over thr-
ty years of age at the time he was killed, and
gave great promise of being good officer.

GENERAL SILL.

Brig. General Joshua w. Sill, who was kill
ed at Murfreesboro, was native of Ohio, and
entered the Military Academy of West Point
as cadet in lS49. He graduated on the
3oth of June, 1853, standing No in his class,
in which we find the names of Gems. McPher-
son, Schofeld, Robinson, r. o. Tyler, Terrell,
Sheridan and Plummer, Col. Sweitzer and
others of the United States army, and w. X.
Boggs of Georgia, and others in the rebel SER
vice. On the lst of July, 1858, he was brew
cited a second lieutenant of ordnance and
was appointed Acting Assistant Professor of
Ethics, &c, at the West Point Military Acad-
emy in 1854. On the 1st of July, 1856, he
was promoted to first lieutenancy of ord
nance, and on the 18th of January, 1861, he
resigned his commission in the regular army.
But when the call for three years volunteers
was issued, the subject of our sketch could
not remain idle, and therefore organized at
portsmouth, Ohio, the 33d regiment of Ohio

ITO the Cincinnati Gazette.l

COLUMBUS, June 10.
Numerous favorable responses have al
ready been received from various sections
of the State relative to the call for troops.
A large number of companies will be
raised without much difficulty. Prepara-
tons are being completed as fast as pOssi-
BILE to have the men sent to the field at an
early day.
Some of the delegates to the Union
Convention have arrived. They report that
large delegations from each district may
be expected here on Wednesday. The in
dications are favorable for an immense
Union Mass Meeting on that day. Our
Union citizens are making calculations TO
have perfect avalanche of people here.
The enthusiasm for Brough in this vi
cinity continues to increase, and his nom
ination seems to be generally demanded.
Many Germans and others of this vicinity
have bolted the VaIlandigham ticket, and
declare that if Brough is nominated they
will support him, if not, then they will
run Jewett. The split between the Dem
ocrats seems to be complete. A German pa
Der of considerable influence has refused
to indorse the dOings of the Convention
on Thursday last, and will advocate th'
election of War Democrat.
There are strong indications that viii
the right man, Franklin county will g
Union next October. The Madison county
delegation is instructed to support JOhI
Brough.
