MUSTERED OUT.
HUBBARD-On the evening of Dec. q there pass-
ed away AT his residence in Washington. D. c. after
a brief illness. Gen. James Hubbard, as brave an
officer az ever drew sword in defense OF country.
Gen. Hubbard native Of Salisbury. Conn.
Prior 10 the war he resided in Illinois, and first took
the field as Lieutenant in the 20;h H. Later he
raised company IN his native town for service in
the 10Th Conn, known as the Litehiield County
regiment and was appointed Captain Of Co. Il
Aug. Is. 1862; was promoted to Major Nov s. 1852
made Lieutenent- Colonel May IS 1864, and Colonel
Jan. ., ls65 For gallant and meritOriOus service
before Petersburg and at the battle OfSaii Creek
Va, April g. 1865 he was brevetted Brgadier General
by President johnson. The regiment 20 which Gen.
Hubbard was attached performed provost duty in
Alexandria, Va. during the Winter of ls52-'63;
subsequently, il grrisoned the fortsin that vicinity
and was changed to the % Conn. Fl. "A. on Nov. 10,
1853. IL took the field as infantry, and at that
time formed the major portion of the Second Bril-
gade {UptOns) of the First Division, Sixth Corps.
AT Cold Harbor Gen. Hubbard then Lieutenant
COlOneD led the front battalion over the enemyS
works in charge so gallant that ia of the regi-
ment were killed and i79 wounded. With one ex-
eept:on, when on leave of absence, Gen. Hubbard
participated i'm all the battles in which the regi-
ment was engaged among which may be mem
toned Petersburg Winchester Sept 10 1863, Fish
er's Ill., Cedar Creek and Sailors Greek. The
casualties of his regiment in less than one year
following May "A. 1864. were killed. 2}f wounded,
40: missing in action, "a and died in rebel prisons,
22-total, go. IL Ia undoubtedly true, as claimed
by COmrade G. O. Stewart in the last issue of TIE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE, that the I'd Conn. H. A. was
the first to enter Petersburg the morning of its
surrender. He says: Col James Hubbard. now I
believe located in Washington, commanded the
regiment, and was appointed Provost Marshal " OF
Petersburg. Little did COmrade Stewart think
when he penned that article that on the very day
OF its issue the mortal remains of the gallant Colo
mel of whom he spoke would be tendeTly consigned
to a vault in the Congressional Cemetery. Com
rade Jerome B. Burke, Commander of the Depart
ment of the Potomac, who is ever working for the
ex-soldiers. living and dead, took charge of the
funeral ceremonies IN Washington, and Depart
ment Chaplain Swallow delivered the discourse.
The griefstric<en widow will take the remains to
Winsted, Conn, where, on the 81 prOx, by the
hands of the surviving members OF his regiment,
they viii be laid to rest among his former comrades
and fellOw-Officers who have gone before. Gen.
Hubbard being of retiring nature, had but small
circle of acquaintanceS in Washington, and none
knew from his lips the service which he rendered
his country in its hour of MEDIA. 9. Bliss, I'd
