The 37th Wis, one of the 800 fight
ing regiments. was organized at Madi-
son from April to June %, 1864, and
was mustered out July 81, 1865. 1t
was commanded by Coils. Samuel Har-
riman, Anson o. Doolittle, of the Regu-
lar Army. and John Green. in success
sion. The 37th was recruited in re-
sponse to the call of Feb. /, 1864, for
100000 more men, under the direction
of Col. Hartman, who had served as
Captain in the 30th Wis. 1t was in ac-
ton for the first time in the assaults on
Petersburg, and made a gallant charge
of the enemy's works, but was forced
to retire with heavy loss, its casualties
amounting to 33 killed, 122 wounded
and two missing. At the Mine Explo-
sion the regiment was in the Crater,
but was unable to hold its position. Out
of ESQ who advanced to the assault 34
were killed, SO wounded and 50 miss
ing. In the assault on Petersburg, April
2, 1865, three companies of the 37th,
under Col. Green, were the first troops
to enter Fort Malone The regiment
took part in the Grand Review at
Washington. 1t belonged to Willcox's
Division, Ninth Corps, and lost 156
killed and 81 from disease. Its total of
killed and wounded was 557, and 81 of
its members died in Confederate pfis-
ons.-Editor National Tribune.

". Y.
The 61st n. Y, one of the 800 fight
ing regiments, was organized at New
York City in September, 1861, and after
serving out two enlistments finally mus
tered out July II, 1865. It was COM
manded by Coils. Francis c. Barlow,
Nelson A. Miles, Oscar K. Broadly and
George w. Scott in succession. The
61st, called also Clinton Guard" had
the good fortune and honor to be COM
manded by men who were among the
ablest soldiers of the war. All made
brilliant records as Colonels, and after
wards in higher commands distin-
guished themselves. The 61st saw an
unusual amount of active service, hav-
ing taken prominent part in some %
battles, and was present at some six
others. AT Bair Oaks, under Col. Bar
low, the regiment lost 110 killed and
wounded out of 432 taken into action.
Lieut-CoI. w. c. Masset and five of the
color-guard were killed in this fight.
At Antietam the 61st captured two
stands of colors, and at Fredericksburg,
where Col. Miles was severely wound
ed, it sustained a heavy loss. 1t be-
longed to Barlow's Division, Second
Corps, and lost 1913 killed and 123 from
disease, etc. Thirty-one of its men,
bers' died in Confederate prisons.-Ed-

ment from dawn till darkness, and the
cannon was almost as busy with canis-
ter and shell. The rebel cannoneers,
however. did not approach their infan-
try brothers in destructivenss, since
they could not depress their guns suffi-
ciently. and most of their missiles went
harmlessly far above the heads of the
Union soldiers
For some reason the firing died down
all along the lines on the day preced-
ing the assault. Both sides seemed
completely worn out by the incessant
fighting. and only too willing to give
each other little rest This brief va
cation from the annoying, searching
fire was particularly agreeable to the
Union staff officers, who took advantage
of it to carefully study the whole
length of the line and determine upon
the places offering the best chance for
assaulting.
Gen. Thomas decided upon ridge on
the enemy's left center, and designated
Newton's Division of the Fourth Corps
to carry ii, while Davis's Division of the
Fourteenth Corps. supported by Baird's
Division, should attack q salient on a
ridge still further to the right of our
line and the left of the enemy. These
two attacks were to be made simuIta-
neously.
Gen. Mcpherson decided upon a po-
sition on Little Kenesaw, and called
upon Gen. Logan to furnish four bri-
gades from his corps to storm it. Gen.
Logan selected the brigades, and put
the assault under the direction of that
determined fighter. Gen. Morgan l..
Smith. The brigades were commanded
by Gems. Giles A. Smith and Lightburn
and Col. Walcutt. while a detachment
from Osterhaus's Division was COM
manded by Gen. C. r. Wood In the

planned out. Lightburn. whose brigade
numbered about 1000 muskets, was to
form in two lines, and dash forward
thru a little orchard about 400 yards to
the right of the hill. Gen. Giles A.
Smiths Brigade was about the same
strength as Lightburn's, while Wal.
CUTS numbered about 1900 muskets
As the enemy could not depress their
pieces sufficiently to rake the gorge
thru which Walcutt was to move, he
was directed to open the engagement
by his advance, and the fire upon him
would be the signal for the other bri-
gades to move. 1t was hoped that he
would succeed in capturing the works
in his front, and to hssist the assault
by the other brigades.
Waicutt deployed the 46th Ohio,
winch was armed with Spencer rifles, as
sklrmishers, and at Sis his bugles
sounded the advance. The men moved
forward with that swift rush in attack
which characterized the Army of the
Tennessee, and the enemy's skirmishers
were either shot down or taken prison.
ers before they could get away.
The enemy opened with a heavy fire
from the batteries on the summit of
theNmountain, but a far deadlier fire
came from the infantry, securely en-
sconced behind heavy works, with
head-logs, which protected entirely the
men behind them. Some lighter ad-
vanced works were captured, but soon
the advance came up against works at
the crest of a gorge, with a steep de-
scent in front, covered by heavy abatis.
Resolutely as Walcutts men struggled
against this, it was soon seen to be
mere suicide to attempt to pierce the
abatis and reach the works. The loss
to the brigade was fearful, including
Lieut.-Col. Barnhill, 40th ILL.,, killed at
the head of his regiment; Lieut.-Col
Wright, 103d Ill. severely wounded.
There were 246 killed and wounded out
of the brigade.

At the sound of the enemy's guns
opening on Col Walcutt, Gen. Smith
moved directly forward to attack the
ridge. He first encountered the enc
my's skirmishers in the thick under
brush. This chaparral was so dense
that in many places man had to
crawl almost on his hands and knees
to get thru. When comparatively open
ground was at last reached it was found
that the enemy's fortifications were at
the top of steep hill, the slope OF
which was covered with fallen trees,
precipitous rocks and abatis, making
any advance in line of battle impossi-
BILE. There were works to the right
and left which enabled the enemy to
have an enfilade fire, but in spite of
this the brigade went forward with the
utmost dash. In few minutes the de-
structive fire stopped this at such a
slaughter as to disorganiZe the brigade.
Col. Rice, not yet entirely recovered
from his fearful wound at Vicksburg,
was shot in both legs, and one had to
be amputated. The 55th Ill. had forced
its way to within Is yards of the in
trenchments, when its commander,
Capt. Augustin, was killed and several
other officers severely wounded. The
111th Ill. was within 20 yards of the
enemy's works when it had to give
way to the terrible fire which had al
ready struck down its Major and a
number of officers. Col. Spooner, SD
Ind, lost an arm, and Col. Augustus
Parry, 47th Ohio, was severely wound
ed in the leg Altogether there had been
killed in the few minutes of the fight
four officers and 20 men and six officers
and 22 men wounded.

enemy's lines, showing how little of a
stampede there had been in the re-
treat
Gen. Lightburn moved from his bly,
ouac at 1880 a. m, forming in two lines
in rear of a battery, and at $40 moved
forward. He first entered an open
field under a raking fire, which came
obliquely from both the. right and left
and from cannon and muskets Beyond
was a small stream, the low ground on
either side being covered with dense
underbrush interviewer with vines.
After the brigade had forced its way
thru this, 1t came to another open field
beyond which were the enemy's main
works. This. however, could not be
seen until within 20 PAGES. There were
only few volleys fired at this close
distance, when a vigorous charge and
almost hand-to-hand fight carried the
brigade over this line of works. 1t then
advanced into an open field, where IL
encountered a terrific fire Of artillery
on the left flank and musketry on the
right flank, before which the line broke
and fell back to cover. The regiments
speedily rallied and advanced again 10

Logan's Attack.
A finer assaulting column never
moved forward to a desperate attack
than that which was now under the
immediate eye of Gen. Logan. The bri-
gades were veterans, schooled in war
from Shiloh to Vicksburg, and had
never gone upon the field of battle
without in the end seeing their enc
mics backs retiring before them. Their
commanders were worthy of them, and
better soldiers never set q squadron in
the field than Morgan L. Smith, Giles

cult and c. r. Woods. Each had risen
to his command under the eye of u. S.
Grant and w. Il. Sherman, who had
promoted them for good work done in
their sight.
Gen. Morgan L. Smith had carefully
prepared for his work by withdrawing
his division from its position on the
