ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THIRD REGIMENT
NATIONAL GUARD.

     This regiment was mustered into service May 6, 1864, and was immediately ordered into West Virginia. Its aggregate strength was nine hundred and seventeen men. The time was occupied by drill until June 12th, when it reached Bermuda Hundred, and was assigned to the First division, Tenth army corps. On the 16th the division was ordered to destroy the Richmond & Petersburg railroad, and the One Hundred and Thirty-third was assigned to the support of a battery. Some four miles of track was torn up and the division retired in good order. The regiment lost twp men wounded in this affair.
     July 17th, the regiment proceeded to Fort Powhattan, on the James, where it was employed in repairing a line of telegraph to Swain's Point. In this duty encounters with the enemy were common, in one of which the rebels killed two men in the regiment, whom they shamelessly mutilated and left naked in the public road. A detachment, sent out to avenge the outrage, succeeded in killing the leader of the gang and wounded another.
     August 10th, the regiment proceeded to Washington city, and from thence to Camp Chase, when it was mustered out August 20, 1864.

THE SQUIRREL HUNTERS.

During the autumn of 1862, the Confederate general, Kirby Smith, advanced upon Cincinnati with a large army. Governor Tod issued a proclamation, calling upon all who would furnish themselves with rations and arms to turn out, organize under their own officers, and rendezvous at Cincinnati, transportation over the rail-

[Page 160]----------------------------------------------------------

roads to be provided by the government. Many citizens of Franklin and Pickaway counties responded to this call. These men, of course, saw no fighting, but their work was cheerfully performed, because they thought their services were needed. Governor Tod caused lithograph discharges to be furnished to those whose names could be obtained. These discharges may be found in many homes in the two counties, where they are doubtless properly prized.
