SIXTIETH OHIO INFANTRY.

The one year regiment of this number was specially intended to defend the border counties of Ohio, and for three months, in the late winter of 1861-62, and the spring of 1862, it guarded military stores at Gallipolis. In April it joined General FREMONT's army in western Virginia, and had its first engagement at Strasburgh. It was soon after engaged at Port Republic, and then at Cross Keys, and shared in the disaster at Harper's Ferry in September. It was discharged October 10, 1862.

The three-years' regiment was organized in the early spring of 1864. It was ordered to the field when six companies were ready, joined General BURNSIDE's corps at Alexandria in April, and was afterwards filled up, but never to the maximum. It was in the actions of the Wilderness, at Mary's Bridge, Spottsylvania, and the subsequent battles of GRANT's final campaign. It was mustered out July 25, 1865, having, in less than one year's active service, lost five hundred and five men, but seventeen of whom were missing.

SIXTY-FIRST OHIO INFANTRY.

This regiment contained recruits from nearly every county of Ohio. It left Camp Chase for western Virginia May 17, 1862, joining General FREMONT's army June 23d, at Strasburgh. It reached Cedar Mountain just too late for the battle there, but had its first fight shortly after, at Freeman's Ford, with a part of LONGSTREET's corps, with which it had another battle in August, at Sulphur Springs. The next day it had a brisk skirmish at Waterloo Bridge, and took part in the second Bull Run battle, losing twenty-five killed and wounded. September 2d, it was engaged at Chantlily, and there, for some weeks, formed a part of the reserve protecting Washington. The next May it was heavily engaged at Chancellorsville, and opened the battle at Gettysburgh, July 1st, suffering severely in the action. In September it was removed with its corps to Chattanooga; was engaged at Wanhatchie and Mission Ridge; marched to the relief of Knoxville; wintered at Bridgeport, Tennessee; re-enlisted in March and took its veteran furlough, reaching the front again in time to participate fully in the dangers and glories of the Atlanta campaign. In the battle of Resaca it saved the Fifth Indiana battery, from which the support had retired. It was further engaged at Dallas, Culp's Farm, and Peach Tree Creek, in the latter of which were wounded five officers and over seventy men, and eighteen or twenty were killed. After the capture of Atlanta it remained encamped there until November 15th, when it started on the grand movement to the seaboard. During this march it exchanged shots with the enemy but once -- at Sandersonville, Georgia. In Savannah, the Sixty-first served temporarily in a provisional brigade, for special duty in the city. About the middle of January, 1865, it moved up the Savannah river to Sister's Ferry, and soon rejoined its own command. In the march through the Carolinas, it was only engaged at Bentonville, the last battle of the campaign, and lost several men in the action. Reaching Goldsborough, it was consolidated with the Eighty-second Ohio infantry, the latter giving its name to the new organization. The consolidated regiment joined in the march northward to Washington, and in the famous review, soon after which it was sent home and mustered out. Mr. RIED says of the Sixty-first: "It was always a reliable regiment, and was ever found where duty called it. Its losses by the

casualties of the field were so numerous that, at the close of its service, a little band of only about sixty officers and men remained to answer to its last roll-call."
