bility and an intrepid soldier. There was another organization, in the Army of the Potomac, known as the Iron Brigade, and it was in the same division with the Iron Brigade of the West. It was composed of the Second United States Sharpshooters, the Twenty-second, Twenty-fourth, Thirtieth, and Eighty-fourth New York, forming Hatch's (1st) Brigade, First Division, First Corps. But the Twenty-second, Twenty-fourth, and Thirtieth New York were two years regiments, and were mustered out in May, 1863, thereby breaking up the organization. The Eighty-fourth New York (14th Brooklyn) was an exceptionally fine regiment, while the other regiments in the brigade made a reputation, also, as efficient commands. It seems strange that two brigades in the same division should adopt like synonyms; but, in justice to Hatch's Brigade, it should be stated that it was the original Iron Brigade, and that Gibbon's Brigade was not known by that title until after Antietam, at which time it was so design

The Eighty-seventh New York was transferred entire in September, 1862; five companies of three years men from the Thirty-eighth New York were received in May, 1863 also, the reenlisted men and recruits of the Thirty-seventh, and Seventy-fourth New York Volunteers, when those regiments returned home. While on the Peninsula,n composed mostly of regulars. It marched with them to Fredericksburg, where it participated in its first battle. When the Duryee Zouaves were mustered out, in May, 1863, the recruits of that famous regiment were transferred to the One Hundred and Forty-sixth; they numbered 283 men, and were a valuable accession. In 1864, a simips were engaged. A regimental organization was not effected until January, 1863, when six companies were mustered in; the other four companies were organized by May, 1863. At Poison Springs, Ark., April, 1864, the regiment while on a forage expedition in company with the Eighteenth Iowa, one section of artillery, and a small deta

The 18th Infantry became the 1st Heavy Artillery, leaving that infantry number vacant. The regiments, 16th to 20th inclusive, were organized under the second call for troops — the caanized in the State--aside from the three-months men who volunteered so promptly in April, 1861--were enlisted for two years service. All the infantry from the 1st to the 38th regiments, inclusive, were in this class, anti were mustered out in May, 1863. Hence, the losses in these regiments were smaller than in those which were recruited for a three-years term, or those which, having served their three years, reenlisted for another term and served through the war. And, yet, there were no

d with it a division which was merely a thing of shreds and patches. If each regiment in the preceding list had fought in no other battle than the one mentioned in connection with it, the record would still be a heroic one; but the battle mentioned was one of a score of bloody contests, in each of which the gallant command was decimated, In fact, any regiment in the American War considered itself fortunate if it could come out of a battle with no greater loss than decimation. But, in May, 1863, General Lee issued an order which has an important bearing on the subject of regimental casualties in the Confederate Army: Headquarters Army of Northern Virginia. May 14, 1863. General Orders, No. 63. The practice which prevails in the Army of including in the list of casualties those cases of slight injuries which do not incapacitate the recipients for duty, is calculated to mislead our friends, and encourage our enemies, by giving false impressions as to the extent of o
