On the 10th day of December, the regi-

Barracks had been prepared by Captain
Huntington, A. Q. M, very gentlemanIy,
|obllging man. AT this place we had more
sickness than ever before or since. More
than two hundred of the regiment were in
the hospital at the time with Measles and
typhoid fever The ladies @ Parkers
burg and Belpre, o., showed their hospital
ity and patriotism by doing all in their
power to make our sick comfortable.
On the 21st of January following, Gen.
Rosecrans ordered the commanding officer
to leave 100 men least able to do duty at
Parkersburg, and take every other soldier.
and report to General Kelley, at Cumber-
land. The Major of the regiment. (the
Colonel being confined to his he'd with tv-
phold fever, and the Lieut.-Col. absent
ksick), took 375 men to Cumberland. and re.
ported to General Kelley who sent them
pack to New Creek, a little village, where
IA stream OF the same name empties into
the South Branch of the Potomac. Two
miles lower down, the Baltimore and Ohio

service than the others; it is certainly
entitled to as much praise as any regi-
ment IN the service. 1t did great deal
OF hard marching, and not many regiments
nave been In as many and as severe
nghts as It, In the grand finale of this
war, let not the 9Th Ohio be forgotten

Colonel Dunning, who commanded the
Post at New Creek during the latter part
of the winter, got up an expedition for the
defeat or capture of Colonel Harniss, who
had about 600 men at Moorefeld. We
started on the LIST of March, went TO Moore
field, had a skirmish with Harness, drove
him out of the country and returned TO
New Creek on the 4th,having marched

this was an article he had never met with
in all his life, and to save his soul from
purgatory he could not tell what the gen.

him displaying his ignorance, and what to
do he could not tell. He wandered ND

movements of his fellow servants, but
could hear nor see nothing which came
up to his notions of napkin. Almost in
despair, he came to the conclusion, as the
best way of getting out of the dilemma,
to tell falsehood. Approaching the gem
