notes.--The Ninety-fifth lost six field officers, killed in action; two colonels, two lieutenant-colonels, a major and an adjutant,--a loss in mounted officers, with but one parallel in all the regiments in the war. I was raised in Philadelphia, and arrived at Washington in October, 1861. It passed the winter of 1861-2 in winter-quarters near Alexandria, Va., and took the field in March, 1862. After taking part in the advance on Manassas, it proceeded to the Peninsula, with Newton's Brigade, Franklin's Division, and with this command was engaged at West Point. Slocum succeeded to the command of the division, which, under his charge, distinguished itself at Gaines's Mill. In that battle Colonel Gosline and Major Wm. B. Hubbs were killed; the regiment lost there 10 killed, 84 wounded, and 18 missing. At Salem Heights the regiment fought in Russell's Brigade of Brooks's Division, its losses there amounting to 23 killed, 110 wounded, and 20 missing; total, 153. In this action, Colonel Town, Lieutenant-Colonel Hall, Adjutant Dunton, and two line officers were killed. About 250 men reenlisted, and, a large number of recruits having been received, the Ninety-fifth entered the Wilderness campaign with nearly its full complement of men. Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Carroll, the commandant of the regiment, fell dead in the first day's fighting at the Wilderness. During the fighting at Spotsylvania, it lost 26 killed, 82 wounded, and 27 missing; and at Cedar Creek, 8 killed, 27 wounded, and 4 missing.
