ONTHE ROLL OF HONOR.

COMMANDS THAT DISTINGUISHED
THEMSELVES IN BATTLE.

The American Record Unsurpassed in the

Other Elan Fell and Every Fourth 111311
Was Killed.

[Cbpyright by American Press Association]
HE volunteer or-
ganizations of the
civil war consid-
, erecl it a proud rec—
‘ == 0rd to have gone
through their ser-
vice without a.
.;,,- panic, receiving at
'1‘ the end the ac-
- knowlcdgmcnt
from their leaders
that they had nev-
cr dis a p p Ointed
them. But it was
the fate of some
commands to be
. placed in extreme
ly trying positions and to risk momthnn
professional pride demanded. The records
of a score or more of famous divisions and
brigades and several hundred noted regi—
ments are brought out in a striking man—
ner in Col. “’illiam Fox‘s story of “Regi-
mental Losses in the Civil “for.” The in“
terest in this work is not maintained by
skillful word painting, but by plain figures,
skillfully arranged to present at once the
sublimity and the pathos of human brav~
ery.

For instance, after giving a list of over
seventy Union regiments that lost in killed
and wounded from 50 to 80 per cent. of the
number : engaged, the losses on certain re—
markable occasions in noted foreign wars
are cited. The Six Hundred who rode into
the Valley of Death at Balnklava lost 36. 7
per cent. The Third Wesphalian regiment
at Mais-la-Tour, in the Franco-Prussian
wax, lost over a thousand killed and wound-
ed, but it carried 3,000 men into action and
its total loss, including prisoners, was 4.9.4
per cent. In the same war the Garde Schuto
zen battalion, at Metz, lost 461 out of 1,000.
or l16.1 per cent.

The Balaklava charge was a blunder and

 

a disaster and accomplished nothing, but,

of course it was a. daring ride. When we
learn, as we do from Col. Fox’s work, that
the great risks taken in the civil war and
followed by appalling losses were success-
ful strokes and that every life so lost told
in the result, the figures acquire a. power
that makes each unit a. jewel. Take the
First Minnesota at Gettysburg, where its
total loss was 83 per cent. and its loss in
killed 75 out of 262 men engaged; this regi-
ment may claim to have performed the
highest service on that field. It saved Han-
cock’s line on the second day, and the:
the battle was decided on the third day.
Another instance on a. less renowned field
was the Fifth Vermont at Savage’s Sta.—
tion, on the peninsula, in 1863.

By some misunderstanding one army
corps moved out of place on the march to
James river in the Seven Days’ and part of
Franklin’s Sixth corps withstood a desper-
ate onslaught from Confederates launched
forth from Richmond in pursuit. The
Fifth Vermont was in W. H. T. Brooks’
Vermont brigade and was recalled on the
march to make a stand for the purpose of
gaining time. The colonel commanding,
Lewis A. Grant, saw that the Confedeffltes
had taken possession of a gorge which eu-
abled them to sweep the field with bullets
and canister, and at once ordered a. bayo—
net charge.

wounded out of 428 men engaged. The
killed and mortally wounded numbered 7‘3.
One company of 59 men lost 41 killed
and wounded, of which 25 were killed.

One remarkable thing,’ about this action
was that the killed and wounded lay on a
line as the regiment had fought. Gen. D.
- H. Hill, of the Confederate army, says that
to his people it looked like a whole r i-
ment stricken down in their tracks. T ‘
Fifth made a. grand fighting record all
through the war, and at the W'ilderness
lost sixty-three killed out of 475, or about
13 per cent. During its entire term its
loss amounted to about 13 per cent. in
killed.

The regiment was in a fighting brigade,
one that had the highest aggregate loss in
killed of any Union brigade during the
war. it was the original Vermont brigade,
composed of the Second, Third, Fourth,
Fifth, Sixth and Eleventh regiments. Its
killed in the whole war was 1.172. In one
action—the Wilderness—it lost 1,212- killed
and wounded. In the first two weekgofthe
Wilderness campaign it lost 1,645 Out of
2,800 men. All of these losses fellaph the
first five regiments, the Eleventh notbeing
engaged. This Vermont brigadahad no
connection with Stannard’s, mating" tat
Gettysburg.» Stannard’s was of) Li” edof
nine months’ men, and was engaged but
one fight. . _ '

Another brigade noted for its long, high
record was the, “Iron Brigade of the West}?
It was composed of the Second, Sixth fend

 

Seventh Wisconsin and the Nineteenth ,In- ;

diana and Twenty-fourth Michigan; , " At
the Second Bull Run, under Gen. Gibbon,
it lost 894 out of 2,000 men. At Gettysburg
Gen. Meredith commanded and it bore the
brunt of the Confederate onset the first
day, when the hero Reynolds fell. "Here it
lost 1,153 out of 1,883 engaged, or about 61
per cent. But it accomplished much. Arch-

er’s Confederate brigade, the firstto push ‘

across Willoughby Run, was annihilated
by this command, which fought under the
eye of Reynolds until he fall. This brigade
also fought well at South Mountain, An-
tietam, the \Vilderness and Spottsylvania.
Its loss in proportion to numbers engaged

was the greatest in the war. , The Veru‘wml

brigade lost more men, but it numbered
more. ThEv“Iron Brigade of the West’,’
got its name’at' Antietam and Wes distinct
from the original Iron Brigade under Gen.
H I 1 . . . , _ - j’ .

The Irish. Brigade was famtms for its he-
roic conduct on the field. It was'composcd"

of the Sixty-third, 'Sixtyrninth and Eight?

chusetts and One Hundred" and Sixteenth
Pennsylvania. The regiments reenlisted

and continued in service to the end. Twc

 

It was executed promptly and ._
in such fine style as to dislodge the enemy.
Then the Fifth took up a position and held i
it during the fight, losing 188 killed and ;

commanders were killed at the head of it,

961 men were killed and over 3,000
wounded.
The First Jersey brigade came into

prominence through Gen. Keamy, who
organized and trained it. The original
First, Second, Third and Fourth New Jer-
sey were joined later by the Tenth and
Eleventh and remained in service to the
end, losing 900 killed. A noteworthy in—
stance of battle order born of the occasion
came under my eyes in connection with
the “Jerseys" and Phil Kearny. It was
in the “Seven Days’ ” on that memorable
June 30. when the line of battle fire de-
scribed three—fourths of a circle around
McClellan’s army from White Oak
swamp to James river.

Kcarny had a. division in the center at
Glenclale,4whcre the fighting was terrible,
and aboutsundown,wheu*tho Pennsylvania
reserves had been cut up, fresh Confeder-
ates were coming on and the Union re—
serves had all been drawn in, he began to
call for more help. Regiments were p rom-
ised where a. division, n chips was needed.
On Kearny’s right lay one division,Slo-
cum’s (Sixth corps), lighting, it is true, but
holding its own. Word came to us from
time to time of the situation at Glendale,
and we knew that the gallant Phil Kearny
was battling with his usual fire, The Jer-
sey brigade was with us and layon the
front line in the center, my own brigade
being support to the division batteries.
Suddenly we were called into line and
marched rapidly to the front, and when
we drew near the outposts the Jerseys
dashed by at double quick, going toward
the rear. They were in high spirits, how—
ever, aud when we called out, ”What does
this mean, comrades?” they answered
proudly: “Kearny sent for us. W‘e are go-
ing to help Kearny.” l

Itisno flight of fancy "to say that the
words were as battle 'musicand the men
fairly danced with delight to think that
Kearny,.ho had never seen; his boys in
battle, had looked to them, as Napoleon did
to his Old Guard, to turn the scale of but-
tlc in an extreme moment. They held
Kearny’s broken line, Kearny held Sum-
ner’s line, and Glendale was lost to the
Confederates

The star division of the Union army
was Hancock's old division. Gen. Rich-
ardson was killed loading it at Antietam,
Hancock led it at Marye’s Heights, and it
fought under him at Gettysburg, the \Vil‘
'erness, Spottsylvania and on. It never
numbered over 8,0(X) men and after Marye’s
Heights mustered but about 2,800. Its
killed during the war aggregated 2,287 and
its wounded 11,724.

The heaviest division loss in one battle
was sustained by Getty’s division (Sixth
corps) at the Wilderness, where 480 were
killed and 2,318 wounded.

Among the Confederates the Twenty—
sixth North Carolina at Gettysburg prob-
ably had the severest experience of any
regiment in one battle. It fought on the
first day with 820 men and came out with
216. It went into Pickett’s charge on the
third day and came out with 80 men. In

pany went in the first day with 3 officers
and 81 men. and all the officers and 83 men
were killed or wounded.

At Fair Oaks Gen.,John B. Gordon’s

Fourth North Carolina. lost 77 killed and
286 wounded—863 out of 678 engaaed. At

Rifles lost 81 killed, 234. wounded—315 out
of 587 engaged. At Stone’s River the
Eighth Tennessee had 41 killed and 265

cannot be given for Confederate regiments.

“On Sunday evening, being alone in my

Caution in Sailing.

You have had an his fair weather
sail. But suppose e weather is a. little
stormy, or the breeze fickle and equally.
Then you mustsail underreefs. You have
noticed those rows of little cords soured to
the sail at intervals,
Thosearethereef p0 ts, undamaged to
tie the sail down when it is necessaryto re-
duce canvas. Never , fasten them around
the boom; that’s a. landlubber’a way, and
sailors and yachts-
men; but tie them un er the lower edge of
the sail. You will also perceive a rope fast—
ened at the outer edge of the sail and lead-
ing through the end of the boom. This is
to “outbaul,” or stretch, the sail and is
the reef pennant.

Now then to reef your boat for a hard
blow first set the sail at the proper height,
tie the reef points as directed, outhauling
the sail with the reef pennant, and then
set up the halyards. The easiest way to
reef a boat is when at anchor or fast to a
mooring; but you will often have to put
in a reef under less favorable circum-
stances. In that case, slack down the peak
halyard and lower the throat halyard un-
til the sail is where you want it; then reef
as before, and be lively about it, too, or you
may get into trouble. Ileefing a small
yacht in equally weather is dangerous at
all times, and a man alone in a boat finds
it all that he can do. Make it a point to
know how to take a reef before you you.
ture out far upon the water, for the task
of reeling requires both a practiced hand
and a steady nerve.

Should you be caught by bad weather in
such a fix that you cannot safely take a
reef at once, lower the peak of the sail.
This will reduce the canvas and still leave
your boat manageable. It does not look
pretty, but it is safe—F. 1V. Pangborn in
St. Nicholas.

Sounds Like Fiction.

A lady entered a down town store, made
her purchases and departed.

“Do you know who that is?” asked the
salesman of a friend, who replied that he
did not. And then this story was told:

“She is Mrs. —. She and her husband
had a misunderstanding several years ago.
They sepamted. but neither applied for di-
vorce. She applied herself to a business
that was honorable. and remunemtive. He
followed his business as before. They did
not cross each other‘s paths during the
separation until the eVent of which I am
going to tell you occurred. He sickened
and became delirious. At one time there
were doubts as to his recovery. The wife
was in the city at the time attending to
her business She heard of her husband’s
illness and called. He did not recognize
her. She attended him until’ her business
called her away. .

“So'on after her departure the husband

3. end that he had thought of his wife a
good deal during his sickness; that he had
fancied at one time that she was near him
and attended him. The man said this ten-
derly. The friend to whom he related it
caused it to be communicated to the Wife.
I don’t know what the details were. I only
know that a few Weeks ago I saw in one of
the newspapers that the husband of whom
I have been talking bought a handsome
residence on one of the avenues, and not
long thereafter he moved into it and she
went with him. That’s all.”—-Chicago Tri—
