One of the first regiments in Ohio and the
Union to be mustered into service after Fort
Sumter was fired upon in April, 1861, was
| the 4th Ohio. All the companies were en-
ed between April ~ and 18, 1861, and
were organized into a regiment at Column
bus, o., under President Lincoln's first call
for $4,000 threemonths troops, Ohios quota
being 1900. Before their three months

The 44th Iowa.

This regiment was 10O-days organization.
Gov Stone was an earnest advocate OF these
1O0-days regiments as by using them to gar
rison forts and stations the veterans could
be spared for the campaigns of Sherman and
Grant. This regiment was mustered into
service in June, 1864, and was at once sent
to Tennessee, where it was engaged guard
ing the railways. Stephen III. Henderson
was Colonel of the regiment. One officer
and 10 men died in the service.

q regiment, to be known as the 10Th Wis.
Battery. Capt. Piles commission was re-
voked before the organization was sent to
the field, and VIM. Zeikrick was promoted
to the vacancy. On the expiration of the
three-years term the original members, ex-
cept veterans, were mustered out, and the
organization, composed of veterans and re-
cruits was retained in the service until
June Z, 1865, when it was mustered out
The battery participated in the battles of
Pennington, Iuka, Corinth, Champion Hill,
siege of Vicksburg Chattanooga, Allstoona.

THEIR RECORDS.
Brief Sketches of the Services of
Various Regiments.
The 22d Pa. Cav.

The 22d Pa. Cav. was one of the most act
i've cavalry regiments during the war.
Early in June, 1861, the old Rnggold COM
pany of cavalry went from Bealsville, Pa,
under command of Capt. John Keys, to
Virginia, where it was mustered into the
Union service, being the first Union cavalry
TO be mustered IN. In August the Washing
ton cavalry, under command of Capt. A. J.
Greenfield, was mustered in. These two
companies were joined in the Fall of 1862
by the Bealsville cavalry, Capt. Young !;
Keystone cavalry, Capt. Work Lafayette
cavalry, Capt. Kitchener; Ration cavalry,
Capt. Barr, and another company under
Capt. Smith. All these, with the exception
of the Washington cavalry, were known as
the Ringgold battalion until the Spring of
1864, when they were formed into the indie
pendent battalion of Pennsylvania cavalry.
Immediately after this the battalion and FIVE
companies from the eastern part of the State
were formed into the 22d Pa. Cav. While
in the service 80 men were killed or died of
wounds. and one officer and 30 men died of
disease, in prison, and from other causes.
sykes's Regulars.
When the war broke out the I'd, 3d. 4th,
9Th, 9TH and 10Th regiments of infantry and
one company of the list were hastily gath
cred at Washington, and to these were added
four new regiments, the 18th, 18th, 14th, and
18th Inf, thus forming two strong brigades
which were joined later by a brigade of vol
unteers, making splendid division of sol
diers, under Gen. George G.. Sykes. These
Regulars served with distinction and hero
ism in most of the notable battles of the
war. AT Gettysburg, on the afternoon of
July 2, 1868, they were surrounded and
penned in by some of the best regiments of
Hoods Division of Confederates in the " Val
ley of Death" Devils Glen" and the
Wheatfield, but by an almost superhuman
effort they extricated themselves by desper-
ate hand-to-hand fighting. In doing so,
however, they lost half their number. but
that grand effort stopped the assault of Hood
long enough to save the key of the field
Little Round Top-to the Union army. In
November, 1854 the ranks had become so
decimated that the Regular regiments were
sent North to be recruited.

rade Behring'S account of the battle of Black
River Bridge, Miss. l will quote the last
seven lines of his article Aug 10: But we

bales and all behind For the information
of Comrade Boring, the battle of Black
River WAS fought on the east side of the
river, and neither flank of the army crossed
the river above or below the rebels. Carr's,
Osterhaus's and Smiths Divisions, Thir-
teenth Corps, fought the battle of Black
River Bridge. Over LOO prisoners and
18 field-pieces (not siege guns) were the
trophies of the victory. Three bridges were
made, and by 8 o'clock the morning of tho
18th the army commenced crossing over"

earnest appeal for its acceptance. He
dwelt at length on the life OF Christ,
his TRANSPORTATION and his ascension.
During the sermon he said: mo sin

THE defeat of the amendment in the
House yesterday, whereby it was pro-
posed that so. called "library" or "series"
publications should be excluded from
the mails as second class matter Is a
victory for the newspapers, for the pub
lishers and for the people in general, 1t
is estimated that it would increase the
cost OF good literature 40 per cent, and
result in abolishiDg the industry of
their production. Mr.. Cummings, OF
New York, for this reason said that it
would be crime as much so as If Con-
gress were to take some vote to increase
the price of corn or bread. The poor
country hoy may to-day indulge his
thirst for knowledge by procuring in
cheap form, for ten cents, almost any
important work OF literature or of
science, while such books were entirely
out of reach Of his father or grandfather.
