For the Wheeling Jntclllgenper : . :f r \
Presuming on the interest of your rea
ders in the various Wjist Virginia regi
ments presenting themselves at this
time to be mustered out in vourcitv.
the subjoined sketch qftlielsl Yutoran
Infantry liegimcnt, of West A'irginin,
is hereby submitted for publication.
Such an interest is 1>eeomingand natu
ral, seeing that the glory of iv State or
nation is more enhanced bv the gallan
try nnd discipline of its sons in a feu
short years of war, than by the wealth
and prosperity of many years of luxu
rious peace.
Frienclh, in this light we think our
young State has reason to be proud of
the record and antecedents of its 1st
Veteran Regiment.
It is composed of the old6th and flth
\ lrginia, consolidated, and the battle
scroll on their tlags, and still more, the
battle scars of wounds on the line of
young men. evince a soldierly exper
ience of which older moiuind older sol
diers might be proud, for the Regiment
claims as a unit the honor accruing
to the parent Regiments as its legaov.
The former old regiments were orga
nized seven miles from each other?
about the time of Jenkins' and Clark
son's notorious raid on Quyandotte; in
the days when Jeff. Davis said Beaure
gard should, in a few yeeks, take
Washington, sack and burn Philadel
phia and winter in New York.
Those who know the trials of the
loyal people of Virginia, alone can
realize the difficulties in the progress
of the organization of Union regiments
on that then hostile territory. For the
humble Union man or simple hearted
boy then to resist the blandishments
and threats of powerful, informed and
wealthy neighbors, and bo. "a) Union
mail" aiid a "U. S. soldier," was to
bring down on themselves juid families
derision, abuse hnd insult, arid not sel
dom, robbing, plundering nnd murder.
Posterity, and the * soldiers whose
homes are in peaceful States, will call
to mind that the West Virginia soldier
often dared not accept a furlough to
visit his home, for fear of being way
laid and shot or captured by his old
neighbors.
Though dispersed, captured and mur
dered, and "with their loyal fellow
citizens made to taste "th? sweets" of
tiibby whenever they were found, orga
nizing?they with other Virginia regi
ments have, in spite of these discour
agements at home and abroad, clung to
the old Hag with u simplicity and te
i liaoity that has trailed forth the admi
ration of their various commanding
Generals.
Before learning the manual of arms
they were inducted into tlio war in
West Virginia, under Generals Rose
crans and Cox.
In the campaign of 'G2 they endured
the long liarrassing, wearying fruit
less night marches?in mud, rain and
hunger?up and down the Rappahan
nock and Itapidan under the varied
assortment of Generals, viz: Fremont,
Si pel, Pope. McDowell and. MoClellan,
who then were trying experiments in
the art of war.
The old 5tli under their brave old Col.
Zeigler l>eing then in Milroy's brigade of
Virginia Regiments, met "the 5Ui Va.
Confederate of the boasted Stonewall
brigade"?at Cross Keys, second Bull
Run, Cedar Mountain and last October
at Cedar Creek?in all tlieso "places
"cutting their swaith" in the long line
of "the harvest of death" to the entire
respect of those who had to meet them, at
least so the old "5th Confederates" have
told the men as they have passed their
homes in our late peaceful campaign
up "the Valley" or Virginia. During
the subsequent summer recruiting and
recuperating these West Va. soldiers
received much commendation for their
sagacitv hnd enterprise as scouts?and
were the continual solicitude of the
enemy. This practiced and prepared
them for those efficient details, ordered
by General. Crook, which in brave Capt.
Blaser was a check and terror to Mose
bv titlv miles within his linos?as he
himself acknowledged to one of our cap
tured boys who the .next day, while
himself a prisoner, killed three of them
and released eleven of his fellow pris
oners. The perfection of drill and dis
cipline meanwhile attained by the old
9th at Winchester and Fayette had!
changed them from the awkward i
youthful boy9 to the completely in
structed and equipped soldiers, 'there
was no more sneering at "West Va.
troops" by enemies nor patronage by
friends.
About that time among twenty regi- j
ments tested, they, received the second
prize for perfection in drill at Winches
ter. It is believed that that success of
Colonel (now General) Duval elevated
the soldierly character and standing of
all the West Virginia regiments in the
Held by its encouragement and emula
tion. Certainly it prepared them for
their glorious part in the charge at
Cloyd Mountain, and afterwards made
them the back bone of that little "white
?star" brigade of thirteen hundred and
fifty men, which last June would
have gone iuto Lynchburg if permitted,
and last July did, in an open field, in
broad daylight, by desperate valor,
drive back, "clean out" and rout Ram
saeur's division of Early's army, com
prising 5,600 men well posted in threo
lines, as a wounded ana captured gen
eral stated on the ground.
Along that line as the brigade was
going in, the cry of-the other regiments
was, "Don't let the 9tii get ahead of yon
this time, boys." The repeated Hall
town reconnoiaances by nrigade and
division, still under their old Colonel
Duval, not having tlie name of battles,
wttl probably, .neverl^.tnontlo^fei in
history; but tii"oy. wore the fights which,
though unheralded .at, the time?
"hawked I in" whole ? regiments. and
broke brigades and. divisions "which
were never broken* 'in three years of
"Potomac fighting,"?which decimated
tho ranks, broke tfc9_ct>iiftdence and
,usad up tho generals, pf the bttit divi

Creek. Perhaps it is excusable for this
Regiment, to' fcel some pride in thosol
dierlv sagacity, of its Lieut. Colonel
Carroll, then Captain, who anticipated
Gordon's surprise on the-lOfli of October, ;
the afternoon before, and posted his own {
Regimental pickets in advance, was
laughed at for his anticipations, but dis
covered the attack at IV o'clock A. M.,
sent word to his BrigaJo commander of
his anticipations, which, if heeded,
would have been in time to have arous
ed the whole army. ITc, in the mean
time took the liberty to save his own
770 men, and marched with them un
harmed between two attacking lines of
lire, up to his place in the line of battle,
while all thought his entire command.
must be captured. i
In preparing such a sketch of the ex-!
ploits and prevailing spirit of a regiment j
it seems impossible to give any im- j
pression to your readers or any ofi
our friends, without conveying a partial
one, or seeming to neglect the points oi
interest of a whole division of regi
ments. It will take tho next genera
tion of poets and historians to tell of
all the "hair-breadth. 'scapes by field
and Hood" of various detachments,
parties and individuals.
Perhaps it is right to deem that the
1st veterans. and their former non vet
eran comrades of -the old 5tli, have as
much proprietorship in tho savage little
Berryville night battle as anybody else
has. They and their friends will be
interested to rememlier how suddenly
and peremptorily the bugles sounded
to "fall in," in a rude and ruthless
manner tearing us away from our quiet
supper of honest roasting ears, and
hurrving us out of that homelike little
hollow where wo had peacefully en
camped four times previously in our
various undulations up and dowi) that
renowned "Valley rif the Shadow of
Death," (Shenandoah.) We were still
wondering, when the rapidlv ap
proaching picket-tiring admonished us
that "soniebodv's coming," and the
shells of the enemy's cannon l>egaii to
screech and "pile into" the little valley
which we had just left, to tho great
damage of our deserted green corn.
Three hours liefore thero had been a
cavalry train, t\nd as it wns now dusk,
our "dear misguided 'Confederate
brethren' " thought we were them, and
had just come in liuste from Winches
ter alter them. The 'desperate charge,
and rush; and struggle, and claml>criiig
up that stoue wall, not knowing how
many lines might be advancing, was
perhaps the most sudden wll for
courage we had met. The old.5tli \ ir
ginia's time was nearly out, but tliej'
stood by us well, and perhaps our last
light together was our best.
A few days after the Veterans ac
companied their non-veteran comrades 1
a few miles toward liome?to Charles
ton?to give them a parting hand?they
to "see home and friends once more ?
and tho Veterans to return to the now
seemingly deserted little cauip without
them. Just at the parting of the two
lines the commencing boom of the ene
mies cannon toward Martinsbnrg?ad
ded a little pathos and earnestness to
past memories/and home messages?re
minding each "line" of what some were
on their way from and others on their

t-^-the Voter?ns cheerfully and uncom
plainingly "faced about" toward camp
to the sound of the enemy's canuon
each step sounding nearer as they ap
proached their placo in line. Then fol
lowed the Winchester, Fisher Hill and
Cedar Creek lights, golden victories to
the country in two senses and showed
"the beginning of tlicend."
But that did not end tho "V eterans pa
tient picketing in mid-winter, in deep
snows, without socks and often with
out coats. Slioridan's army formed a
fence or meu, night and day eleven miles
long, from mountain to mountain, be

?To the Officers and. Soldiers of the First
-??Veteran I Vest Virginia VolUnteers:
r flHie time liasjjtJUist come for us to
q&it tho duties of the soldier. Our re
cord commence^ and dnas'with the war,
being among the first to enlist and the
last tobe'disdiarged. Your St ate, fami
lies uud friends have reason to be proud
jofyour reputation, of your battle-scroll
ed ling. "Your bravery and soldierlyqual
ities lmve 'Won tor you the respect ofyour
Generals1 and tlid armies with Which
?yoU served.t3The impetuous charges
and counter-chaises that you have so
iplten made > on the enemy% lines, will
be recorded by the futtiru historian witli
the history af tho "bravo. I regret very
much to part'with yon, as wo linvebeen
associated togetlier for fonr years. Tho
winter marches of 1801, the indecisive
campaign of 1862 in- the" SherilThdoah
valley, under Gen. Fremont; east of the
BlueKidge under Gen, Pope; thegreat
battle and defeat at,Bull Kim; the skir
mishing nnd scouting in t*0 Kanawha
valley in 1803; tho brilliant and'victo
rious* campaign in 1804 under Gen.
Crook, Hunter "and Sheridan. These
with tho gtfeat . battles, raidk and other
events, so froqiicnt during our term of
service, will illustrate the part that we
took in suppressing the great rebellion.
Wo are not likely to forgot them. In
callingthem to mind, wowill be remind
ed or e(\6h other, and of the friendly
relations' that have so long exist
ed between us. Well may we
feel proud of the part we have borne in
this great struggle when we can say
with truth that in the darkest honrs of
the history of our country we enlisted,
and re-enlisted. Our" scars and shat
tered limbs will show that V.ur blood
has 11 owed freely lit tho cause. But in
our rejoicings at soon meeting our
friends, let us not forget our absent
comrades, many of whom are yet suf
fering in hospitals from severe wouuds.
But how many more, whose sufferings
are over, sleep* beneath the sod of those
battle-lields of Virginia, already
so i renowned in' history. Tliefr
absence on 'this happy. day
spejiks more eloquently to our
hearts of the sacrifices mado for free
government than the bronzed veterans
that constitute our ranks. Go, then,
my comrades, to your homes, families
and friends that nave so long w tited
to greet you. "You deserve well of your
country." I am glad that I served with
you until, tlio closfc.'bf. the war, and
whatever may be our fortunes, I shall
not cease to feel a deep interest in your
welfare and your reputation; and if
my orders conld liisfc longer tbAn the
few hours that we are to bo togeth
er, I would say, bet fla faithful, kind
and forbearing to your wives, fami
lies and sweethearts as you have
been to your officers and comrades.
Boas alert and suspicious of those that
would seduce you from tho path of
honesty, temperance and industry, as
if they were tho scouts of the enemy.
Serve your God with as much energy
and zedl as you have served your coun
try, and your last days w'ill bo your
best days/

Tlio Engliiih Royal Family.
The continued 3nd It is now 8UpiK>sed, j
permanent abstention of her Majesty
from nil public festivities causes great;
dissatisfaction in London. Recently*
a further cause of dissatisfaction was
offered in the treatment that the depu-j
tation received who went to Windsor to
present addresses of congratulation on j
the birth of the youug prince. They J
received not a word of acknowledg
ment in reply, but kissed haiuls and
"moved on*'?the answers being forma. I
written documents. The Queen, it is j
said, spends a considerable portion of
her time at Froginore, where the mau-1
solemn of her husband is erected ; and1
this summer will lie .signalized by the
erection of another of those memorials
to the Prince Consort which -are so nu
merous that they are beginning to have
the effect upon the English mind which
the constant praise of Aristides the
Just had upon Athenians.
The Prince of Wales appears to have
discovered that the,'English people pre
fer that .the members of their royal
familv should bear English names, 'lie
lias, therefore, bent to the popular wish j
in this matter, and it is now officially
annpunci'd that his infant son will not
bear the name of Christian as at first
proposed. His, in&ntine Boyal High- j
ness will be baptized on the <th of the
present month at Windsor, and will
receive the name of George Frederick
Ernest Albert. The King of Hanover
will be one of-the sponsors.

i have, during the present season, built
I 700 agricultural machines, comprising
I reapers, mowers and two-wheel culti
vators. The number of cultivators
