naval commander at Cairo, III, was en-
trusted with the duty of dispOsing of the
vessels and closing mp the affairs of the
squadron.
The vessels being intended for inland
navigation, very few Of them were retained
IN the service. They encountered more hard
fighting than any other squadron of the
war, being almost continuously under fire
from the very commencement of bostilities
until about the middle OF June. 1sG5. when
the Confederate forces on the Red River were
surrendered TO our vessels IN the reduc ion

it must be admitted that the Confederate
torpedo PLAYED very important part.
They appeared to he everywhere, and would
strike when least expected. Some ingenious
individual had made a contract with the
Confederate Government for the destruction
OF our gunbosts on a per centage of their
value. By this arrangement a number of
vessels were sent TO the bottom of the Missis-

officer. He died in the service Dec. z, 1867.
During the rebellion he served in the West

manded.
When the war commenced we had 1900
men in the Naval service. At its close we
had 81 500, and the total number of enlist
ments was q 900.
The blockade had required in It's enforce
ment over 500 vessels in active service which
the close of the war released from duty. This
permitted still greater reduction in the
expenses.
The total number of captures made during
the civil war was ], $50 of which there were
30 steamers, 500 schooners, 139 slOops, -
ships, 90 brigs, % barks. two yachts, 139

were on friendly terms.
The gross proceeds of property captured

fact that the steamer Greyhound, captured
by the L. S. 5. Connecticut, was the most
valuable prize captured during the war. and
realized S497 $3.50. The next most yalu-
able prize captured was the steamer Tristram

sold for S41S, S73.s1. Another valuable prize
was the steamer Princess Royal, which sold

An Interesting Incident i'm the History of
the 4Ith Ohio.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l have
long read the columns of your very interest
ing paper, and have Just as long looked in
vain for something from any old comrade of
the 44th Ohio There are quite q number
of the old boys left who could tell you
stories of the 44th Ohio that are entertaining
aud exciting. i would like to remind some
of the old comrades of their neglect and try
and prod them up little. The 4ith Ohio
was organized at Springfield in September,
1861, and was Immediately sent up the Ka-
nawah Valley, w. Va. S. A. Gilbert an
entire stranger, was appointed Colonel, and
Joined MS IN the valley at Camp Piatt, about
ID miles east of Charleston. He was dis
ciplinarian clear through, and at once went
TO work to make the regiment one that he
could he proud Of. and one that would be an
honor TO the State and Nation. As usual,
the boys were down on him at first on ac-
count of his rigid discipline and hard drill,
but it was not long before the men were
ready TO lay down their lives for Col. Gil
bert.
Drill and discipline will always make good
troops, and the 44lh could be depended on in
any emergency. The 4Ith and Seth Ohio
won for Gen. Crook his first star. At the
battle of Lewisburg, Va, we were the only
two Yankee regiments there. Crook was Colo
mel of the Seth, and senior to Col. Gilbert.
The rebel Gen. Heath attacked MS there
with five Confederate regiments and q bat
terry of four guns. Among his regiments
was the celebrated 22d Va. We were look
ing at them while they formed their line-of-
battle and then Col. Crook ordered us for
ward.
/ won't attempt to describe the battle, but
we cleaned them out completely. The 44th
captured the battery without stopping to
fix bayonets, for which we were highly COM
plimented by special ORDER and were pre-
scented with one OF the guns as a memento
The gun is in Springfield to-day, and is used
on tine Fourth of July and other occasions for
firing salutcs. Col. Crook was at once made
gadier-General
In January, 1864, we were on our way
home alter re-enlisting, and stopped in Gin
cinnati few days awaiting q mastering
officer Gen. Rosecrans was in the city at
the time, and we matghed down to the hotel.
Gen. Rosecrans came out on the veranda and
made a nice little apeGGh. In his remarks
he mentioned the battle of Lewisburg and
said: 100
/ consider it the bneatest little stand-up
fight of the war, and have often brought it
to the attention of the officers when holding
a council" cite
1 met several ofvthe boys at Louisville,
KY, during the National Encampment, and
was told by nearly all of them that | was
reported dead several years ago; but if any of
my old comrades readl this article they will
find my address attached, and will be more
than pleased to hear from them. Keep the
ball a-roling. B. ST. JOHN, Co.
