ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-NINTH OHIO NATIONAL GUARD.

This was one of the Cincinnati hundred day regiments, and its ranks were filled with recruits who had seen more or less service in organizations raised in 1861-2. Its first rendezvous was at Camp Dennison, where it lay for some ten days. It was then taken by rail to Camp Chase, where, on May 11, 1864, it was fully armed and equipped and mustered into the Federal service. Remaining in camp here for a few days, in order that the regiment might be somewhat desciplined, it moved on May 20th, via the Central Ohio and the Baltimore & Ohio railroads, to Washington city, where it went into barracks. June 1st, it was placed on duty at Point Lookout, Maryland, an important depot for the confinement of rebel prisoners. At the time the regiment took up its quarters at this place, there were twenty-two thousand prisoners confined there. The force to guard and look after this number of prisoners was only eighteen hundred men, all told. From this may be judged how arduous must have been the guard and other necessary duties performed by so inadequate a force. The details were necessarily so numerous and frequent as almost to preclude the idea of rest. This, added to the fact that there was little or no fresh water to be had on the dry and sandy beach, and that no inviting foraging ground presented itself, made the duties of the regiment unusually severe, "Sibleys" were also denied to the men and officers; and all alike were compelled to sleep on the sandy beach under those aggravating little substitutes, "shelter-tents." Incessant duty, want of water, and the hot sun, had their effect on the troops, and fourteen good men were in a short time laid in their graves, while scores of others were on the sick list. August 22d, some days after the expiration of its time of service, the regiment was taken to Baltimore, thence to Camp Chase, where, on the twenty-sixth of August, 1864, it was paid off and mustered out of the service.
