istinguished generals in the Union Armies, a remarkably large number came from Ohio.

Wood, Crittenden, Johnson, Ward, Whitaker, Jackson (killed at Chaplin Hills), Fry, Burbridge, T. T. Garrard, Croxton, Long, Sanders (killed at Knoxville), Watkins, Shackleford, Nelson, Green Clay Smith, Hobson and others.

hes before Petersburg. This division was also engaged at the Boydton Road, but with slight loss. The casualties in Paine's (formerly Hinks's) Division occurred in the first assault on Petersburg, June 15, 1864, at Chaffin's Farm, and at the Darbytown Road (Fair Oaks, 1864). The principal loss in Hawley's Division occurred at Deep Bottom, and Chaffin's Farm (Fort Gilmer). The most of those killed in the 73d fell in the assault on Port Hudson; and the killed in the 2d Infantry, at Natural Bridge, Va. Eleven officers of the latter regiment, including the Colonel and Chaplain, died of disease at Key West, Fla., in the summer of 1864. There is no satisfactory explanation for the surprising mortality in the 5th Colored Heavy Artillery, and 65th Colored Infantry. The former regiment was recruited in Louisiana and Mississippi, and was stationed along the Mississippi river at various points between Memphis and Port Hudson. The most of the deaths were caused by fevers; and at one tim

Dr. Gould, however, thinks that the figures show that the Indiana men are the tallest of all natives of the United States, and these latter the tallest of all civilized countries. Report Adjutant-General of Indiana, 1869; vol. 1, p. 110. Illinois.--This State sent six regiments to the Mexican war, and when the Illinois Legislature passed the law, in April, 1861, authorizing the acceptance of regiments, it was provided in the Act that, in token of respect to the Illinois regiments in Mexico, these new organizations should receive numbers commencing with the 7th. The first six regiments which were organized under this Act--7th to 12th Infantry, inclusive — were sworn in for three months service, at the expiration of which they reorganized and enlisted for three years. Illinois responded promptly to every call for men, and was one of the few States which furnished troops in excess of its quota. Of the generals who attained prominence in the war, Illinois is credited with: G

Heavy losses were also sustained at Gaines's Mill by the 2d, 12th, and 14th Infantry; at Manassas, by the 14th; and at Spotsylvania, by the 11th. The 9th Infantry was stationed on the Pacific Coast during the entire war. The 5th Infantry served in New Mexico. A part of the 8th Infantry was present at Cedar Mountain, where it fought in Augur's Division, Banks's Corps; and some of the companies served as a provost-guard at General McClellan's Headquarters.

ull Run the three-months men of the New York State National Guard--the 8th, 69th, and 71st Regiments--fought with a gallantry unsurpassed on all that bloody field. Nor was this all. Some of the National Guard regiments enlisted for three years, and taking the field promptly at the first call, gave the country the benefit of their previous drill and military experience. In this meritorious class were the 2d Regiment Militia, or 82d Volunteers; the 9th Militia, or 83d Volunteers; the 14th Brooklyn, or 84th Volunteers; the 20th Militia (Ulster Guard), or the 80th Volunteers; and the 79th Highlanders. In addition to the organizations which appear in the above tabulations, New York furnished the Army with 17 regiments of militia for thirty days service; 16 regiments for ninety days; and 11 regiments for one hundred days. Some of these, like the 7th Regiment, responded to the call in three different emergencies, and served three separate enlistments. Of these troops, the Seventh Re

In the latter engagement it lost 76 killed, 208 wounded, Including the mortally wounded. and 11 missing; total, 295. But few regiments in the war sustained a heavier loss in any one battle. After its three months enlistment had expired it returned to St. Louis, where it reorganized as a light artillery regiment, and enlisted for three years. The County Regiments — Benton, Lawrence, Stone, Greene, Cole, and Ozark Counties — enlisted for three months only; but it was three months of active service. and included some hard fighting. The 7th Missouri Infantry won special distinction in the siege of Vicksburg by its gallantry in the desperate assault of May 22d, planting its colors on the enemy's works and losing six color-bearers killed in quick succession. The 39th Missouri lost 2 officers and 120 men killed in a massacre at Centralia, Mo., September 27, 1864. Major Johnson of th<
