volunteered to discharge the
"perilous duty. The lancers lined the chapperal
within fifty yards
"of the road, as far as the eye could see. Lieut.
Stewart, with al
"friendly Mexican and an American, dashed out on the
road, and the
"enemy opened a heavy fire from both sides of the
chapperal. The
"Mexican was killed, and the American wounded; but
Stewart dash-
:ed gallantly on."

Provost Marshals of Highland County. - William
Scott and Joseph K. Marley.
Military County Committee during the War of the
Rebellion -
Wm. R. Smith, Enos Holmes, John H. Jolly
and James H. Thompson, of Hillsboro;
and Henry L. Dickey, of Greenfield.
During the War of the Rebellion, under the act of
Congress authorizing a draft, J. K. Marley,
of Hillsbory, O., was provost marshal; George
B. Gardner, of Hillsboro, O., commissioner;
and Dr. David Noble, of Hillsboro, O.,
surgeon; and they, with E. J. Blount,
clerk, constituted the board of enrollment from
May, 1863, to April, 1865.
The foregoing abstract, taken from the volume
entitled:
"Ohio and the War; her Statesmen, her Generals and
Soldiers," by Whitelaw Reed, is believed to
be true and accurate as to Highland county.
If the names of any officers be omitted, it will not be
for want of most diligent search on the part of
the author, as to all those officers who
participated in the late war; and if it should be
thought by some persons that the names of the
privates ought also to have been inserted, the
compiler would say that it was almost impossible
to find the names and places of residence of the
private soldiers of each company; and besides
this, the insertion of their names, even if known,
would make this work too voluminous for any
practical purpose.
Besides the foregoing regular enlistments on account of
the war, there were mustered into the service
several other volunteer companies and regiments,
for a short time, in defense of the city of
Cincinnati, and the town of Ripley, on the Ohio
river, which were threatened by the danger of
invasion from the opposite side of the river.
There were what was called the "Eagle Creek
Expedition;" the "Squirrel Hunters," enlisted in
defense of Cincinnati; the enlistment of men for
the "hundred day's service;" and the most noted of
all was the regiment enlisted, armed and equipped
for the assistance of General Hobson in
pursuit of John Morgan in his raid through
the state of Ohio. This regiment united with
General Hobson's command, and actively
participated in the battle with and capture of
John Morgan and his forces at Buffington's
island, - and was there, after the battle,
disbanded by General Hobson, with high
compliments for its efficiency and bravery.
Highland county, from its organization kept up and
sustained its eclat in the militia system
of the state, so long as that system was
practically enforced by the laws of the state.
But as the practice of that system since the war
has become utterly dormant and inefficient,
latterly the military spirit of the county, which
is always irrepressible, has begun to develop
itself in the organization of companies and
regiments of infantry and cavalry, called the
"Ohio National Guard." In this latter
movement, Highland county has been prompt in its
assistance, by the organization of one infantry
company, called the "Noble Light Guards," in honor
of David Noble, of Hillsboro, who by his
generosity has contributed largely to its
equipment; and by the organization of a cavalry
company, called the "Scott Dragoons," in honor of
William Scott, of Hillsboro, who has also
liberally contributed to its equipment.
Sine the organization of the infantry company,
Doctor David Noble has been promoted to the
office of colonel of the 13th regiment of Ohio
National Guards, and the following is the roster
of said two companies:

Some of the officers
connected with the above companies are experience
military men, having served in the army during the
Rebellion, particularly the Colonel of the
Regiment, and W. C. Newell. Scott
Dragoons; E. E. Mullinix, 1st lieut.,
and Ez Stevenson, 2d Lieut.
And the privates of the companies, being recruited from
the best families of the county, are characterized
for their gallant bearing as citizen-soldiers, and
in personnel, drill and equipment are up to
the highest standard of army regulations, and, in
the opinion of their friends, on any field of
battle, would earn and deserve the highest
eclat for valor and death-like daring in the
fore-front of the fight. |
