. There have been affairs known as massacres, in which all, or nearly all, have lost their lives. In the battle of the Little Big Horn (1876), a fight between some hostile tribes of Indians and detachment of the Seventh U. S. Cavalry under Gen. Custer, the entire command of the latter was annihilated. Fourteen officers and 230 enlisted men were killed, including Gen. Custer. Not one escaped; each refused to surrender, and fought to the death. The next largest percentage of killed occuGen. Custer. Not one escaped; each refused to surrender, and fought to the death. The next largest percentage of killed occurred at Spotsylvania, in the Fifteenth New Jersey. This regiment belonged to the First Jersey Brigade, Wright's Division, Sixth Corps, and lost 116 killed or mortally wounded at Spotsylvania. Unlike the sudden loss of the First Minnesota at Gettysburg, its casualties occurred in three different actions: 31 were lost on May 8th, 5 on May 10th, and 80 on May 12th, at the Bloody Angle. It may be urged that, these being three different affairs, the losses should not be consolidated. If they had

Cavalry) at Fairfield, Pa. total, 641, the heaviest loss falling on Custer's Michigan Brigade. Buford's Division had the honor of opening this historic battle, his long skirmish-line of dismounted troopers holding the enemy at bay until the First Corps arrived on the field. The Cavalry made some brilliant charges duriy of West Virginia. The cavalry fighting in the Shenandoah was a series of brilliant affairs, interspersed with skirmishes, which cost the corps a serious loss of life. Upon Sheridan's return to Petersburg he brought back with him Devin's and Custer's Divisions, which, added to Crooks' (formerly Gregg's) Division, restored — the organization to its original formation, General Merritt being in command of the three divisions. The corps started on the final campaign of 1865 with 37 regiments o
