Jenkins, (reported very slightly.)

FROM THE FIFTH ONEIDA (146TH) REGIMENT.— From a private letter, received in this city, dated near Beverly's Ford, Rappahannock, Aug. 13th, we copy the following, which will prove of interest to our readers: "We are encamped in a very pleasant piece of woods, about a quarter of a mile from the river, and the prospect is that we shall stay here for some time to come, as we have all the rules and regulations of a permanent camp in operation. It is about as pleasant a place for a camp as we could wish, and so near to the river that we can bathe and wash our clothing as often as we choose. After nearly two months of such marches and hardships as we have endured, such a resting place is very acceptable.
" I doubt whether troops were ever more full of enthusiasm or more willing to fight than we were at Gettysburg; for, although none of us liked fighting too well, it had got to be done, and we entered into the contest with a determination to conquer. From the elevated position our Regiment occupied, near the left of the center, we had a fine opportunity of witnessing the desperate conflict. And again, when we overtook the rebels at Williamsport, near the Potomac, the same enthusiasm prevailed, and we have all confidence that had an attack been made in time, we should have captured the entire army, or driven them into the river.—But for some reason our Generals saw fit not to attack them, and they were allowed to pass over the river, carrying almost every thing with them. We are again stretched along the banks of the Rappahannock, and again the telegraph flashes the intelligence, 'All quiet along the Rappahannock.' 
" Since we first crossed into Maryland, our Regiment has suffered very much by desertion, and our own Company (Co. C) has lost quite a number in the same manner.
" At Gettysburg, our Brigadier General, WEED, was killed, as also the next in rank. In consequence, our own Colonel (GARRARD) has been promoted to the rank of Brigadier General, a promotion well deserved, as no better officer, high or low, we think, is in the service; and though we regret losing him, we are glad to see him rise. Lieut. Col. JENKINS now has command of the Regiment, and wears the eagle. The health of the Regiment is good, and the boys are in good spirits." 
The sentence of death against three soldiers of the 146th New York, for desertion, is commuted by the President to imprisonment in Fort Delaware.

FUNERAL OF SERGEANT ENGLAND.—Mr. WM. ENGLAND of this city, returned on Thursday from Pennsylvania, where he went to recover the remains of his son, Orderly Sergeant ROBERT W. ENGLAND, of Company K, 146th Regiment, who was killed at the battle of Gettysburgh [sic] on the 2d of July. Mr. ENGLAND was successful in accomplishing the object of his journey, and the body reached home yesterday.—Young ENGLAND was aged 19 years and 5 months.—His funeral will take place on Sunday, at two o'clock, P. M., from the residence of his parents on Clark street.

DIED IN HOSPITAL.—HENRY W. CHRISTIAN of Co. E, 146th, died on the 22d in Hospital near Falmouth Depot, of congestion of the lungs. The deceased was from Schuyler, and was esteemed as a man and a soldier.
Also DAVID J. EDWARD of Co. A, 146th, died in hospital near Potomac Creek Station, Dec. 19th.

The appearance of the command and camp, was highly commended by Gen. Halleck. It is the first visit of this character, which has been made by Gen. Halleck, since he has been Commander-in-Chief.

SAUQUOIT, Feb. 5.
To the Editor of the Utica Morning Herald:
You have already announced the death of typhoid fever in the hospital at Acquia Creek, on the 17th ult. of Moses Crook. He was son of Jacob Crook, farmer, in the town of Paris, Oneida county, and was twenty-four years of age. A few short months ago he left a kind home full of hope, and with all the vigor of opening manhood, to help to push back the tide of this unholy rebellion. And we gathered around him sorrowing as one that ought not to depart from among us, but most of all, lest we should see his face no more—'twas even so—"the golden bowl was broken at the fountain" and Moses Crook is sleeping "with the loved and the lost."
N. B. His funeral sermon will be preached in the M. E. Church of Sauquoit on the 15th inst. By Mr. Mattison.

DESERTERS.—We are informed that Col. H. S. ARMSTRONG passed through the city at noon, to-day, going Eastward, with nine deserters from the 146th Regiment.

DEATH OF A SOLDIER. —The death of MOSES CROOK, a volunteer from Paris, occurred in the hospital at Acquia Creek, on the 27th of January of typhoid fever. He was a member of the one hundred and forty-sixth regiment, and enlisted from a high sense of duty. He was about twenty-four years of age, a young man of Christian principles, and one esteemed, by all who knew him.
Casualties in the 146th. The following is the official list:
Orderly Sergeant R. W. England, K, killed; Jos. Schneebacker, F; F. W. Dennis D; Morris Godfry, Geo. W. Cook, D, wounded; S. Gibbs, thigh, F. Miller, leg, J. Palmer, shoulder, A.

THE POET.
From the Sabbath Recorder.
Our Soldier Cousin.
A tribute to the memory of F. Erwin Clarke, a soldier in the 146th Regiment New York Volunteers, who died at Falmouth, Va.

Glide, river, gently to the sea;
Sing dirges low and tender;
Bear partings oft breathed near to thee,
By patriot truth-defenders;
Waft soothing murmurs from thy shores
To hearts so fondly loving;
One sigh for us, who, more and more,
Grieve for a soldier cousin.

Glow, camp-fires, with your glittering gleam,
On hill, in covert valley,
While dim the flickering taper beams,
Upon his pallet lowly.
Dread fever dried his young life's fount,
Yet reason came at even;
He spoke of home, then upward mounts
His soul—that soldier cousin's.

'Twas this he said—to them how dear
These words, so fitly spoken—
" Tell father, mother, sister, there,
My hold on life's most broken;
Yes, dear ones, only brother lone,
Weep not—but live for heaven;
I 'm happy now—meet me at home,"
Thus died our soldier cousin.

Ah! noble cousin, on that morn,
When cross the Rappahannock,
So noiseless fled those warrior forms,
Hid by thy brave band's banner,
Did'st think so soon thy weary feet
The river'd cross to heaven,
While angels covered thy retreat,
Safe over—soldier cousin?

To think we were at home with thee,
But six short months agone,
And as thy sister pressed the keys,
We all joined in the song!
But now thou 'rt gone!—o'er ruined joys,
Like call of the Muezzin,
Echo brings back our manly voice,
Our noble soldier cousin.
Now, as the lone ones in thy home
Surround the hearth at even,
And calmly close the sacred tome,
And raise the song to heaven,
They pause, and sigh, and tear drops fall,
For no more thou art coming,
To kneel in prayer with the loved all
At home—dear soldier cousin.

Yet though they miss thee through long hours,
Faith fills the vacant chair,
Points upward to the heavenly bowers,
And sweetly saith, "He's there!"
Ah, yes, "he's there!" His Christian heart
Would heed his country's bidding;
He's done the patriot-hero's part—
God loves our soldier cousin!

There's cheer in this, too, mourning ones,
We know our Christian cousin,
When ranked with freedom's noble sons,
Was bannered sure for heaven.
Then weep no more; press back the tears,
Save for the fond hearts riven,
Who mourn their dead 'mid hope and fear,
But "at home" is our soldier cousin.

Private Letter from the Fifth Oneida Regiment.
CAMP NEAR FALMOUTH, VA.,
December 21, 1862.
Dear ____: Since my last letter to you, the 146th Regiment has seen the elephant, and we have come to the conclusion that it is a very "big thing."
On the morning of the 11th we broke camp, long before daylight, and marched to the tune of the bombardment of Fredericksburg. About 10 o'clock in the morning we came to a halt about a mile to the right of the city. Owing to the mist and smoke that hung over the valley until noon, we could not see the city nor the enemy's works. In the afternoon, as the fog and smoke cleared away, we had a fine view of the scene. An extensive valley lay spread out before us, with the city in the centre and a range of hills in the rear lined with fortifications, forming a dangerous background to our advancing troops, who had entered the city and were driving the enemy before them. About sundown, a battery of rifled cannon on our right opened on the enemy. I could not but admire the magnificent spectacle, as all along our own lines the firing was kept up with spirit, and as spiritedly answered by the enemy. As darkness came on, the firing ceased, but the sky was lit up with the lurid glare of burning buildings, which had been set on fire by our shells in different parts of the city.
During Friday, there was not much firing on either side; but on Saturday the battle raged with great fury all day, with but little interruption. During Saturday we had moved a mile nearer and directly in front of the city; and just after the sun went down, we crossed the bridge and entered the city, which henceforth will be famed in history. What a scene presented itself to the gaze! Ruin, ruin, on every hand.—Fronting the river, hardly a house remained untouched. As we hurried along the streets on a "double quick," to the roar and rattle of musketry, we all expected to have a share in the fight that night; but darkness closed over the scene, and for a while the firing ceased, and we were drawn up in line on the outskirts of the city, about half a mile from, the enemy's line of works. We had just ensconced ourselves for the night on whatever we could find in the shape of fence boards, when the rattle of musketry again broke loose, and the balls came flying thick and fast over our heads, and we found that the best thing we could do for the time was to hug mother earth. In about twenty minutes it ceased, and then our ears were saluted by the shrieks and groans of the wounded, which was kept up through the night. 
Before daylight, Sunday morning, our officers, knowing that we would be completely at the mercy of the enemy where we were, removed us to the first street back of us, where we remained a couple of hours or more. As the mist cleared away, the rebels got our range, and sent a couple of shells plunging right into our midst, breaking the leg of one of Co. D's boys, and doing some other damage, after which we were filed around in among the gardens and houses, a little further back.
In this location, on Sunday and Monday, our boys had a jolly time of it, living high on corn beef, molasses, potatoes, pancakes, preserves and pickles, and other articles, besides rumaging [sic] around for whatever took their fancy. 
On Monday it was evident to us that something was in the wind. Occasionally a shell would come thundering into the city among the troops. We expected every hour to go to the front; but at length orders came for a detachment from our regiment to work on entrenchments, and we kept at it almost up to the time we left the city. The latter part of the night a strong wind came up and a heavy rain set in, and just at day break the whole army, our brigade bringing up the rear, crossed the Rubicon, and felt ourselves comparatively safe as we saw the timbers of the pontoon bridge taken up behind us.
This ended the grand farce of the taking of Fredericksburg, which had amounted to a brilliant flash in the pan. Our loss, as you have learned, has been very heavy, and nothing accomplished. It could not be otherwise. The feeble resistance offered by the enemy to our taking the city, was intended to draw us on, and even while we lay in the city, had they been disposed to do so, they could have slaughtered us by thousands, and we could not have helped ourselves; we were completely at their mercy. Nothing but the regard they had for their property saved us. 
I should say that the retreat from the city was made in perfect order; no confusion, no disorder, and certainly, to us, soldiers, it seemed the most sensible part of the whole job. There could not have been, at this season of the year, more favorable weather for a grand undertaking, and it is too bad, after such an enormous waste of life, that we should be farther than ever from the accomplishment of the end had in view.

You folks up North may think the war is to be closed by fighting; but there are few in this army who think so; and there is hardly one among the common soldiers who would not gladly return to their homes to-morrow, no matter how the country goes. J. C.

UTICA, N. Y. FRIDAY
UTICA MORNING HERALD
AND DAILY GAZETTE.
Killed and Wounded in the 146th.
BALTIMORE, Md., July 6th, 1863.
To the Editor of the Utica Morning Herald:
I came here yesterday with Capt. Jas. Jenkins, who was wounded by a ball in the neck, just below the left ear, in Friday's battle of Gettysburg. I am happy to state the Captain is doing very well.
Having a list of the killed and wounded of the 146th regiment with me, I thought this a good opportunity to forward it to you, The regiment entered the battle on Thursday, at 4 P. M., by some mistake being ordered across an open plain which was swept by a raking fire of musketry.—We had just started on the double quick, when a shot struck Robert England, Orderly Sergeant of Co. K, severing one of the arteries of the neck. He expired a few minutes afterwards. A noble fellow, and a most efficient officer, we deplore his lost greatly, for he was beloved by all who knew him. It is some satisfaction that he, and all who fell in those terrible three days of Gettysburg, bled and died on free and loyal ground, literally in defense of home and fireside. (I heard of some Pennsylvania soldiers who fought in very sight of their homes!) The regiment having crossed the plain, opened in line of battle in the wood beyond, was immediately ordered back. We re-crossed the flat under the same fire, and took a position on and behind a ledge of rocks, jutting out from the hillside. We were told that this was the key to our entire position, and must be held at any and every hazard. And not a man but was ready to meet the worst, and eagerly awaited the contest.
I have no time for details. On the crest occupied by our regiment, a battery was stationed and so we had our full share of shelling and being shelled, especially during Friday's battle. The 5th Oneida acted throughout most gallantly—as it always will, wherever it may be placed. Our position enabled us to overlook the whole battlefield; and what a shout of triumph flew along the whole line for miles, when on Friday the enemy was hurled back at all points, a broken, confused mass! What a thrill of hope fear, resolve held every heart, as our troop moved forward to meet the enemy, with firm columns of the glorious old flag floating over head!
Our brigade lost heavily—Gen. Weed, our general, was killed, also Col. O'Rourke, of the 140th N. Y. The following is the list of the loss of the 146th. With one or two exceptions the wounds are not serious; the boys were doing well when I came away, which was Saturday evening.
Killed—Robert England, Co. K; Serg't Schneebacker, Co. F.
The wounded are—Serg't Allen, Co. G.; Jas. Robertson, Co. G; William McGurk, Co. G; Serg't J. R. Pitcher, Co. D.; Frank England, Co. K.; Edward Peck, Co. E.; George H. Shott Co. A.; George Baxter, Co. C.; Ezra J. Hyde, Co. B.; George A. Cook, Co. C., James Palmer, Co. D; Fred. Muller, Co. D.; S. C. Hines, Co. D.; Samuel Gibbs, Co. D.; Adam Niece, Co. D.; M. Godfrey, Co. C., Capt. J. Jenkins, (reported very slightly.)
There were two or three others slightly scratched by pieces of shells, whose names I have not got. Our loss is slight compared with regiments around us. The Lord protected us wonderfully, and to him be all the thanks. Excuse this hurried letter. Yours, &c.,

One-Hundred and Forty-Sixth.—The following additional names of wounded appear in Tuesday's New York Herald:
Eli Babcock, Richard Roberts, M. Drane, Matthew O'Connor, C. A. Nailer, George F. Meyers, Wm. Owens, G. G. Danmatel, J. Martin.
One Hundred and Forty-Sixth.—We find the following sad record in the New York Times correspondence, in relation to our wounded men of our 146th regiment, much of which causes the blood to run cold. Is there no method by which the government can relieve these unfortunate men? It seems to us that there must be. It is worse than cruel, it is barbarous to allow our poor wounded soldiers to perish in this manner. Read the account:
Private John Webb, of the One Hundred and Forty-Sixth New York Volunteers, who was slightly wounded and captured in one of the Wilderness battles, arrived here this morning, having effected his escape from the rebel hospital at Robinson's Tavern. He says there are over three hundred wounded at the latter place, who are suffering for the want of proper attention and nourishment. Amputations in consequence have ceased, and our men are dying off rapidly. Surgeon O'Donnell, of the Second Pennsylvania Reserves, is in charge of the hospital, assisted by two other regimental doctors. Our wounded, as soon as they are able to limp about, (and in many instances, before), are marched off to Richmond. He also says that the country in the neighborhood of the recent battle fields is swarming with our brave wounded, who come into Robinson's tavern every day, by dozens, some of them, almost naked, their wounds festered and filled with maggots, and half-starved. He describes the suffering there as terrible in the extreme, the rebels themselves being unable to provide anything for the comfort or sustenance of the wounded. 
Among the wounded who died the day he escaped, he mentions the names of Timothy Lamoor, company A, and Robert Taylor, company F, both of the 146th New York.
The following officers of the 146th were in the hospitals, wounded, when he left: Capt. Wright, Capt. Powell, Lieut. Fitzpatrick, Lieut. Sweet, Lieut. Walker, badly wounded in arm and neck, and a lieutenant of Capt. Glascon's company whose name he did not recollect. The four latter were about being sent to Richmond. The orderly of Capt. Glascon's company has had a leg amputated. A sergeant of the same company had died from wounds.

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-SIXTH.—JAMES COLLEDGE of the 146th regiment, writes to his parents in this city, that their brigade on the 14th occupied a hill some distance in advance of their old position, without firing a shot. The enemy on the 16th were in their entrenchments about a mile in advance. On Sunday evening, an attack was expected on BURNSIDE'S corps, and the 146th expected to be sent into battle. But the day closed after a heavy thunder storm in the afternoon, with a quiet and beautiful moonlight night. Capt. STUART, WALKER, MORRIS and THOMAS MIDRAD are well.

Personal—NEWTON RICHARDS, of the 146th regiment, Co. C, was wounded, and is a prisoner. He was formerly a clerk in the employ of DICKINSON, COMSTOCK and CO.

Dr. Flandrau Reported Killed.—We find the following in a letter from the 140th regiment to the Rochester Union, announcing the death of the surgeon of the 146th regiment. We scarcely think it can be true, as no such information has reached these parts. It has been reported however, that the assistant surgeon was wounded and the lattar [sic] may refer to that fact:
Yesterday Col. Ryan and Major Stark were killed, and a Lieutenant, acting Adjutant, was wounded. I don't know his name. Dr. Lord, assistant surgeon of the 140th, with the surgeon of the 146th N. Y., went out on the field of battle between our own and the enemy's skirmishers to look for Pool and Hamilton. A piece of shell struck Dr. Lord's overcoat strapped on his back, and killed the 146th's surgeon by his side.

Wounded of the 146th in Wilderness Hospital.—A few days since we published some harrowing details in relation to men wounded in the Wilderness battle fields, who had been left in hospital there, and the recital of whose sufferings and treatment caused a sickening sensation of disgust.
We are now able to publish a full list of some of the men belonging to the 146th regiment, some of whom have heretofore been reported as dead. The Times says:
The following is a complete list of the wounded belonging to New York regiments remaining in the rebel hospital at Locust grove, near Robinson's tavern, in the Wilderness, together with the deaths which have occurred since its establishment [sic]. The hospital is in charge of Surgeon Donnelly, of the second Pennsylvania reserves.
We give only those of the 146th, as the others belong to regiments so remote as not to be particularly interesting to our readers. Here is the list:
Wounded—Co. A—Michael Casting, corp. W. H. Rodgers, J.. J. Aldman, Dwight Perkins, Thomas Healy.
Co. B—G. G. Ashforth, N. Shepard, corp. W. H. Davis, Samuel Hart, John Maggert.

Co. D—Corp. J. Hilmer.
Co. E—Corp. W. M. Dodge.
Co. F—Serg't L. Dougall, A. B. Dunbar.
Co. G—Orison G. Baker, Timothy Territt, Leroy Hammond.
Co. H.—James Rodman, serg't I. N. Wheeler, H. W. Williams, Joseph Benner.

—Lieut. FOWLER, of the 146th regiment, son of Rev. P. H. FOWLER, of this city, has received an Aid de Camp's appointment on Gen. GRIFFIN'S staff.

.... of an officer of the 146th Regt. N. Y. V .: BATTLE FIELD, Monday, May 10. 
Since the first day's fight our regiment has been engaged more or less every day, but has been fortunate in losing few men. We have been incessantly on duty, and are completely used up. Officers and men are overpowered with fatigue and excitement. To-day the crowning engagement is going on. Nothing can give you an idea of the terrible fighting in front of us. We were relieved this A. M., unable to do anything more until our strength is recruited. Fresh troops are at work, and we are sanguine of success. It will be gained, however, at great expense. The fighting is mostly infantry, and therefore more deadly. We have lost no officers since the first fight. Have been in some exceedingly tight places, and the regiment has done grandly. The excitement has been most intense and wearing. All of us have grown a year older during the week. To-day, I hope, decides the contest. No news from missing officers.

Died in Libby.—Lieutenant CHALMERS, of the 146th, wounded in the head and taken prisoner some three weeks ago, is announced in the Richmond papers as having died in Libby prison hospital.

Home.—Two of the battle-scarred veterans of the 146th regiment from this vicinity, arrived home this afternoon. They were both wounded in one of the recent battles. One was named PALMER, of Co. C, son of Mr. PALMER, who has the care of the Forest Hill Cemetery. He was wounded in the right fore-arm with buck and ball. The other was named STRONG. He is from Clinton, and belongs to the same Company, and went home this afternoon. He also was wounded in the right arm below the elbow, not seriously. They related some of the incidents of the first serious day's fight. While talking on the street, a lady asked them if they knew GEORGE STEPHENSON. He replied yes, he was a corporal in my company; stating further that he had not been heard of since the first day's fight.

Colonel Curran.—We are informed that a Lieutenant Colonel's commission for the lamented Major HENRY H. CURRAN was forwarded to his regiment (146th), bearing date April 4, 1864. It reached the regiment after the terrible battles in which he lost his life, and has been forwarded to his friends here. This is but an official endorsement of the merit which all his acquaintances accorded him.

One Hundred and Forty-Sixth.—Sergt. Andrew Frick, E; E. A. Dennison, G; Wm. A. Palmer, A; R. A. Pollock, C; C. D. Merritt, K; Corp. H. F. Chamberlain, J; H. Harled, face; J. Clark, wrist; Geo. Roberts, foot; Assist. Surgeon R. Fenwick.

146th.--Capt. JAMES STEWART writes from Libby prison, Richmond, Aug. 21, uninjured, and faring as well as could be expted [sic]. He was captured August 18th, while skirmishing along the Weldon railroad. The following named men of the regiment were taken at the same time:
M. O'Connor, Company A; John Robinson, company B; Joseph Robinson, company C; Jacob Rosevelt, company H; Joseph Jones, company H; Eugene Parkell, company I; Joseph Wilson, company K.

Deserved Recognition.—Second Lieut. CHAS. L. BUCKINGHAM, of the 146th, who has been at his home in this city for some weeks on account of a wound received in the Wilderness battles, has been notified of his appointment to a first lieutenancy. We are very glad of this, for it is a well deserved recognition of valuable services. Lieut. BUCKINGHAM is a most excellent gentleman as well as officer. We learn that he has now nearly recovered from his wound, and expects to leave the city to join his regiment to-morrow.

Death of Lieut. C. L. Buckingham.
Lieut. CHARLES L. BUCKINGHAM, a graduate of the Class of '62, Hamilton College, and an officer of the 146th Regiment, N. Y. V., died in the service of his country on Monday, Sept. 5th. He had but just reached his command, and while upon picket duty was returning from an exchange of papers with a rebel officer, when a party of the enemy from an ambush fired upon him, inflicting a wound from which he died.
The hearts of all who knew him are chilled by the sad news. CHARLEY BUCKINGHAM as a collegiate ever excelled. An accurate and faithful scholar, a polished and brilliant orator, the successful winner of the "Clark Prize" over competitors, as those of us have reason to know, of splendid attainments; the genial companion and pride of his classmates and friends. As a soldier he discharged his duties well, receiving in the battle of the Wilderness a honorable wound, from the effects of which he had hardly recovered, when the last fatal bullet cut short his young life.
CURRAN and BUCKINGHAM are gone! Honorable rivals in College; equally brilliant in all that pertained to true culture, together they left us for a noble sacrifice. Within a short time of each other they die hero's deaths. Their memory shall be cherished and loved, as long as their friends are capable of appreciating a true manhood.

T. M. FLANDRAU,
Surgeon 146th N. Y. V., Surgeon in Chief, 2d division,
5th corps.
Near Petersburg, Va., June 20.

FROM THE 146TH.—Lieut. WILLIAM FOWLER, son of Rev. Dr. FOWLER, of this city, is with WARREN'S forces in their operations on the Weldon Railroad. Under date of Aug. 19th, the Lieutenant writes as follows, in reference to the movement and particularly as to the 146th:
" We are now on the Weldon Railroad, reached it with little opposition, but in advancing toward the city, ran across the enemy in some force, had a pretty heavy fight, falling on Gen. Ayres' Division. One of his brigades broke needlessly, and lost us a splendid chance of giving the enemy a heavy pounding. The 146th skirmished. Lieut. Coan is reported killed, certainly badly wounded. Capt. Stuart missing, but hope he will turn up yet. I think they have lost but few men; all other officers safe."
Lieut. ARTHUR V. COAN,—above reported killed,—is a son of VINCENT COAN, Esq., of Oriskany Falls, and a brother of the Rev. Mr. COAN; of Waterville.—He was a Lieutenant in Co. G, 146th Regiment.

A GOOD HIT.—In a recent letter, Col. J. T. Jenkins, 146th N. Y. V., writes as the Utica Telegraph (Independent) says:
We observe in the lists of drafted men the names of many who have been the loudest in favor of war from its beginning. We would now be happy to see them in the field.

THE 146TH N. Y. REGIMENT.—A RARE RECORD.—The 146th N. Y. Regiment (Fith [sic] Oneida) receives the just praise of Gen. WARREN, its Corps Commander, of being the best Regiment in the Corps. Commencing with Fredericksburg, under BURNSIDE, it has taken part in about twenty battles, including Chancellorville, Gettysburg, Falling Waters, Williamsport, Bristow Station, Wilderness, Spottsylvania, &c., and is now in the trenches before Petersburg. When it crossed the Rapidan, it numbered 580 men; it now numbers about 75. About 200 have been killed or died of their wounds; the remaining loss is in wounded, missing and prisoners. It has lost all its field officers since crossing the Rapidan; and two-thirds of its line officers. But one orderly sergeant is left in the Regiment, in the place of the ten who crossed the Rapidan. Such a record is rarely equaled in the annals of war. What remains of the Regiment is now under the command of Capt. GRINDLAY. It has preserved its colors through all its fearful contests.
Relics of Col. Curran Recovered.—We learn from the Elmira Advertiser that on Thursday there was found in possession of one of the rebel prisoners, at the prison barracks in that city, a gold watch chain and college society pin, on which was engraved the name of Major H. H. CURRAN, of the 146th N. Y. Vols. One of the officers at the barracks at once secured them, and will send them to his family in this city. It appears that the rebel took them from the Colonel's dead body, while lying upon the field. This will be welcome intelligence to the friends of Col. CURRAN, who will be glad to recover these valuable relics.

146TH REGIMENT.—A letter from CHARLES JENNISON, of Co. C, 146th Regiment, says that HENRY JENNISON, son of HENRY JENNISON, shoemaker, Sidney H. SMITH, son of C. T. SMITH, and John White, son of the late THOMAS WHITE, all of this city, were killed in the battle of Tuesday last. 
Another letter from JENNISON, written the next day, May 11th, says: 
" Yesterday was the hardest day of the whole fight. We could not see poor Henry's body after he was shot, nor in fact any of t he boys that were killed the first day. We have every reason to believe that Sid. was shot; in fact, we know he was, and the only doubt is whether he was killed or not. Both the Parker boys are wounded. Henry Lull, our Orderly, was killed; he used to keep the little marble shop on Columbia streets. Our regiment's loss in killed, wounded and missing is nearly 350. The Christian Commission agent takes this letter for me."
A brief note from FLETCHER W. DINBLEY, Sergeant of Company A, is as follows:
MAY 14.
DEAR BROTHER:—I am alive yet, thank God! We have been fighting since the fifth day of this month. We have but a small regiment left. All that is left in Company A is nine men, and I am the only Sergeant. Dumont is missing. I cannot write any more, for this is not a place to write in. We are in a rifle-pit, looking for the "Johnnies." Good by. F. W. D.

In Rebel Prisons.—A letter from Lieut. SWEET, company F, 146th, dated Lynchburg, May 9th, gives the following names of members of that company in prison at Lynchburg, captured May 5:
First Lieut. W. H. S. Sweet; Second Lt. John McGeehan, slightly wounded; Sergeant E. C. Starr, slightly wounded; Corporals—G. W. Johnson, W. L. Snyder, R. Hinckley, A. Brown; privates—S. Ackley, H. Baker, L. Belair, L. Browor, J. Daily, J. Fisher, C. A. Grant, G. Haskins, A. Hahn, G. Kingsley, G. B. McMillan, C. O'Keefe, O. D. Page, J. Shucker, slightly wounded; A. Spink, do; S. White. 
The letter says: "We get enough bread and pork to eat."

In Memoriam.—At a meeting of Monitor Hose Co., No. 6, held Monday evening, June 27th, 1864, the following resolutions were passed regarding the death of Jos. R. DAVIES, a member of the 146th Reg't. N. Y. S. V., who was wounded in the leg by one of the enemy's shells, and died from the effects of his wound:
Whereas, The Almighty God deemed it wise to take from our midst one of our beloved fellow members, Joseph R. Davies, Co. K, 146th Regiment, N. Y. S. V., who fell a sacrifice on the altar of his country, while gallantly defending the banner of Freedom against traitorous hands, on the
19th instant,
Resolved, That we lose in him a good and faithful fireman, a kind and affectionate brother, and an ever dutiful son, always obedient to his parents.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with his relatives and friends in their sad bereavements and that we drape our house in mourning for thirty days.
Resolved, That these resolutions be published in the three daily papers of the city, and that a copy of the same be presented to his relatives.
Wm. M. Davies, Sec'y

Report of Col. Jenkins's Death.—A communication in this morning's Herald announces a letter received from JOHN A. TEFFT, 146th, dated June 12th, containing the intelligence, obtained from a captured rebel officer, that Col. JENKINS died two weeks after his capture. The same communication also announces a letter received from GRIFFITH H. WILLIAMS, company I, 146th, previously reported killed, containing information of his escape from the rebels and arrival in Washington, where he now is in hospital. He was shot in the mouth, and twelve teeth knocked out, his jaw broken.

The Fate of Col. David T. Jenkins,
UTICA, August 5th, 1864.
To the Editor of the UTICA DAILY OBSERVER:
It is believed that the fate of Col. D. T. JENKINS of the 146th Reg't N. Y. V., has been lately ascertained with certainty from a statement made by a private, GRIFFITH WILLIAMS, of the same Regiment. The news has been but recently communicated to the friends of the Colonel by this private, who is an escaped prisoner. He gives the following account of Col. JENKINS' death:—He was taken prisoner at the Wilderness, May 5th, and was one of a small squad of prisoners in which WILLIAMS also had been placed. While being marched to the rear under a very small guard, the Colonel, with one or two others, attempted to escape, but was shot by the guard, instantly killed, and was buried where he fell. Private WILLIAMS, after witnessing this occurrence, was placed in the Wilderness Hospital, and after being held a prisoner for about thirty days, made his escape to Washington. He bears a good reputation, and is considered trust-worthy. The good character of this man, the testimony of other escaped prisoners that Col. JENKINS never reached the rear of the rebel lines nor ever entered a rebel hospital, and the entire absence of news from Southern hospitals respecting the Colonel, have forced upon his friends the conviction that this account is true. It is sad that the result of the uncertainty which has long attended the fate of this brave and noble officer should be so mournful, yet the little that has thus become known will bring relief to the hearts of his many anxious friends.

The Battle of Fredericksburgh.
The following extracts from a private letter of an officers of one of the N. Y. Regiments gives some interesting details of the battle of Fredericksburgh:—
CAMP ON POTOMAC CHEEK, Va.,
December 20, 1862.
My Dear ___: Since I last wrote you I have passed through scenes which I shall not soon forget. Thursday morning Reveille sounded at three o'clock. The camp was soon in motion, the tents struck, the horses saddled, and the regiment ready to move. At day break, the first gun was heard which soon increased to a brisk cannonading. We left camp at half-past six. The sound of the cannonading grew more and more distinct till we reached Falmouth, on the hank of the Rappahannock. Here we halted for orders, just in the rear of two large batteries, actively engaged in shelling the city. We had a fall view of both banks of the river, of the city of Fredericksburg, and the rebel batteries beyond. The sight was magnificent, till the smoke grew so dense as to cut off the city from view. The bursting of the shells in the air, the city fired in several places, the rebel batteries replying, and occasional discharges of musketry, all united to form a scene not soon to be forgotten. During this entire day our troops were engaged in laying the Pontoon bridge, but were prevented till evening by the enemy's sharpshooters. We slept that night (Thursday) before our camp fires, I had only my horse blanket to cover me. Friday, the cannonading commenced at dawn. We remained all day in the same place, watching with glasses, the progress of the artillery fight. We could hear now and then discharges of musketry. Large fires were raging all day in the city. Again a night was spent here, though we little anticipated so long a delay when we first halted. Saturday morning reveille was at five; at seven, the cannonading again commenced, and was soon followed by the incessant rattle of musketry. We could see the smoke over the battle field, just outside the city, and the movements of some of the troops. Of course we watched the progress of the battle with the most intense interest, for we knew that the decisive attack had at last come. We were all this time waiting for orders to cross the river and join the fight. They came at three o'clock in the afternoon. Our division (Sykes) was soon in motion towards the bridge. As soon as we reached the brow of a hill, just on the river's bank by the bridge, rebel batteries commenced shelling us. The shells exploded near by, in a most uncomfortable manner—two of them striking the head of the column preceding ours, killing two and wounding several—but our regiment crossed in safety. The order "double quick" was given, and on we hurried through the streets, the discharges of musketry growing nearer and nearer. All of us supposed we were to engage immediately in fight. When we reached edge of the town it was just dusk. We filed off from the road on to a level plain. It was then last charge on rebel batteries was being made by Humphrey's division.
We were probably about forty rods from them. The roar and flash of the musketry, and the yells of the troops, told us that at last we were in a battle. The shells and bullets were passing over our heads and falling among us; but the Regiment remained very cool and seemed ready to do their duty. The regulars were just in front of us. One shell passed over my head while I was standing by the Colonel, and buried itself in bank ten feet beyond, and the musket balls whistled by without number. There was no use in trying to dodge the shells, for by time you heard the scream of the shell it had passed. The sound of musketry discharges grew less frequent, and we knew the charge unsuccessful. We were ordered to lie down and await orders; and so we waited through the long night, listening to shells whizzing by us, occasionally striking among the troops, and then followed the cry of anguish of some poor fellow who had been struck. Our regiment was singularly fortunate, and lost not a man that night. I suffered principally from cold, having no blanket with me. We could hear all night the cries and groans of wounded in the field beyond. They were removed as fast as possible; but it was very dangerous work, for enemy kept pitching into the field. I slept perhaps three hours during the night. At 5 A. M. the division was ordered to move back into town, get out of sight of enemy by daylight; for they would open all the batteries. 
It was just daylight when we got off the field into a back street of the town. The Zouaves, who were little later, lost several men by a shell. We supposed we were out of sight, but a rebel battery discovered our position, and soon the shells were flying over our heads, striking houses beyond; one of them struck the horse of a battery opposite our centre, cutting his head completely off, broke leg of another, smashed a gas-carriage, broke the leg of one our regiment and passed through fence beyond. We found our position untenable and moved further back into town, getting into yards of houses. We took possession of a very fine house for head-quarters. The former occupants had evidently left in the greatest haste; everything was left behind—even provisions and clothing. We found sacks of flour and salt—there was a valuable library, and numerous pictures. Many of the soldiers found gold watches of late. About 10 o'clock in the morning came the order that our division were to charge the rebel batteries. Of course we must obey orders. But we all of us felt that to charge the batteries was almost certain death; for we would have been under the concentrated fire of artillery and musketry for nearly three-quarters of a mile, with the mud knee-deep, and after we had taken the first batteries there were others commanding them. We waited three hours for the signal to move. I think—indeed, I know—I never passed three hours of such suspense in my life. I felt during that time that I was only waiting for the hour of death. Old soldiers said they had never had their courage so tried. But the order came revoking the former, and I think the whole division breathed more freely. 
We lay still all this and the next day (Monday), till ten o'clock in the evening. Nothing of importance occurred to us. The wounded were continually passing by, and the shells flying over our heads, but none were injured in our regiment—many immediately about us. At ten o'clock Monday evening we were marched out to the edge of the town for picket duty, and ordered to throw up breastworks to defend two streets. It was now for the first time we knew the army was about to withdraw from the city. Our division was to remain till the last, and if we were not able to cross over before daylight, the order was to stay till the night, against the whole rebel army. You may imagine we worked with a will on the rifle pits, for they were to be our defence the next day. The rebel pickets were firing all night, the balls occasionally whizzing by, but again no one was hurt. Slowly regiment after regiment was withdrawn, silently, till the Zouaves (5th N. Y.) and 146th N. Y., were left alone. We had given all hope of crossing that morning, for it was already five o'clock, but a heavy rain began to fall and the darkness was prolonged; the order came to cross the river. You may imagine we were not slow in complying. The working parties were called in, the regiment formed and started with a quick silent march for the river—in ten minutes we were across, and with the remainder of the army; the Zouaves followed directly after us, and the pontoon bridges were taken up.— We have marched back to our old camp, and here we are, just where we were before we started on the 11th of December, for Richmond.

Boxes from Home—With a Description of Going Through Them. WARRENTON JUNCTION, VA., Jan. 24th, 1864. 
EDITOR SNICK: Soldiers boxes above all other property should be sacred from intrusion, yet I am sorry to say this is by no means the case, for under the plea of searching for liquor, various articles, not prized so much for their intrinsic value, but that they come from home, are confiscated by those who are vested with an authority to open them, besides those who are not. The implement generally used for this purpose is an axe, and it not unfrequently goes through box, contents and all. The indignation of those whose property is thus maltreated, is not likely to increase their patriotism, for military rule is so complicated there is no redress for the soldier, simply because he cannot help himself. All of this species of freight is paid for in advance and of course it is no matter whether we receive it or not, One of my tent-mates
(an Albany boy, too, think of that, kind and feeling editor), named J. B. McC____y, recently received a box, or what was left of it; there was no necessity of removing the cover, that had already been done, and the contents well inspected. The following articles were appropriated: one box of cigars, one pair of chickens, one pound of smoking tobacco, one of chewing, one pound of tea (how they missed the sugar to sweet it is a mystery), and several other articles too numerous to mention. But to other matters. Our brigade is now clothed in the Zouave uniform complete. The brigade consists of the 140th, 146th N. Y. Vols. and the 155th Pa. Vols. Look out for briliant [sic] exploits from the red-top brigade in the spring, and the rapid decline of Jeff Davis & Co., the whole firm being below par. Respectfully report another small smash up on the O. & A. R. R., which leaves the locomotive "Blue Ridge" on the sick list for a spell. The engineer failed to see a car-load of bread on the track, or else thought it too much trouble to reverse the engine, hence the accident which resulted in several soldiers possessing themselves each of a ration of bread, remarking "it's an ill wind that blows nobody good." Car loads of reinlisted [sic] men are still going northward. One poor fellow over anxious to catch the train, jumped on the platform while in motion, and missing his foot-hold, fell between the cars and was terribly mangled. I did not learn his name or regiment. It seems hard to be thus cut down, when the thought of home rises high in the soldier's breast, and many hearts will be saddened by his untimely end. Accidents of this kind occur almost daily and are seldom mentioned by the regular army correspondents. 
Yours, &c. H. B. S.

ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.
ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-SIXTH N. Y. V.,
WARRENTON JUNCTION, April 9, 1864.
EDITOR KNICK:—Well, I am back again with the old Army of the Potomac, and can scarcely realize that I have been thirty five days in the busy and prosperous North, being so long estranged from civilization and the avocations of peace.
There is but little change in our relative position during my absence, except that drilling and reorganizing are being vigorously pushed ahead, in preparation for more active and decisive operations. The heavy rains of late, however, will somewhat retard a very early movement southward, owing to the swollen state of the streams which it is necessary to ford before the rebels are unearthed. Unwearied exertions seem to be going on in all the different departments. New vigor is infused into the men by so popular a commander as the invincible Grant, whose name, heretofore, has been a sure har¬binger of overwhelming victory. May it be so in the future. Nothing at all of a hostile nature has tran¬spired of late to mar the regular and uninter¬rupted routine of winter camp life; even the indomitable Moseby is at present non est, and a genuine excitement is as scarce as a June-bug in winter time. Still we have our thousand and one camp rumors, which are oftentimes the most unreasonable and absurd the mind can possibly conceive. Soldiers are proverbial for getting up something that takes, then sit down and laugh heartily at the success of their invention and to hear it go from mouth to mouth; and rest assured it loses nothing on its ways round.
The favorite pastime at present in vogue is to catch a stray member of the canine fraternity, who occasionally raid through our lines in quest of rations. Tin cups and cans abound in this region. They are immediately cornered, and their appendage, commonly known as a tail, honored with the above named utensils. He is then headed for the rebel lines, and the quicker he leaves the safer it is for his dogship, for a hundred soldiers, armed with stones, sticks, or anything else convenient, add their ___te to the misery of the unhappy brute. They __y come once. 
Yours, &c., H. B. S.

Army Correspondence,
HEADQUARTERS 146TH N. Y. V.,
WARRBNTON JUNCTION, VA.,
April 18th, 1864.
EDITOR KNICK: Since my last we have had some of the heaviest rain storms of the season, which threatened at one time to seriously interfere with our communications, but, thanks to an efficient construction corps, which consists of an immense number of the most skillful mechanics and bridge builders, no sooner had the destruction of the Bull Run and Cedar Run bridges flashed over the telegraph, than muscle and material were immediately brought into requisition, and in two days the trains were making their regular trips from Washington to Brandy Station, causing no inconvenience more than a temporary resumption to hard tack, which is rather unpopular among the lads, having feasted upon fresh bread for the past four or five months. 
The sun is now shining cheerful and warm, the mud drying up, the grass once more assumes a greenish hue, the birds chirrup in the leafless branches, while the bull-frog, from the neighboring swamps, gives hoarse notice that he has commenced his usual spring concert without change of programme.
The general impression prevails, that in Old Virginia the heaviest battle of the war will soon take place. Indications certainly justify such a supposition. If it is true that Longstreet, with his column of veterans, has again joined Lee, we have no mean force to contend against, and it will take all our efforts to successfully cope with that prince of strategists. Robert E. Lee, still his right bower, is gone; Jackson will no longer rush upon our flanks, as in days gone by, and the Confederacy has not, nor cannot replace him. As a man we deplore his loss, as an enemy we can not but rejoice that he can no longer agitate us with flank movements and sudden onslaughts of his flying column of graybacks, to use a common phrase among the soldiers. Stonewall Jackson was a terror.
All confidence is placed in the genius of Grant, and should success smile upon him, as in the southwestern campaigns, good morning rebellion; their chances of success will have dwindled down to an almost inconceivable small point. So mote it be, is the sincere hope of all loyal men. All sutlers are ordered from the army lines, under penalty of being sent to work on the for¬tifications, after a certain date. This is perfectly right; it is far from pleasant to be cumbered with such matter when a muss is in prospect. 
Yours, &c. H. B. S.

A SOLDIER'S LETTER.—Charles Van Vleck, of the 146th New York Volunteers, and a brother of Col. Van Vleck, of the 78th Illinois volunteers, killed at Atlanta, writes to a surviving brother as follows:
AUGUST 29, 1864.
Dear Brother: I have just heard that our dear brother is no more. This ends the life of one of Illinois' best and most promising young men. A pillar of strength to any and all society. It is strange that he should be taken and I left, but God's ways are not ours, and we must submit to His Divine Will.
This cruel war, so long and bloody, when will it end? Even now I hear the fierce roar of cannon; it disturbs the evening air, although it is so long after dark. Every day some poor soul pays out his life for his country's future welfare. This war is kept up by Northern Copperheads. Yes, it is Northern traitors that are killing every soldier of today, for this is the only hope the rebellion has to live upon. To-day, at Chicago, is held a Convention composed of a set of the blackest hearted traitors that ever met for any political purpose; and it would serve them right were a battery of thirty-two pounders, loaded with grape and canister, turned upon them. There may be loyal men among them, but the most of them are black with infamy, and future history will thus record their deeds. Do you wish to shake hands with Jeff. Davis and his followers across the grave of your noble brother? Will you vote for their restoration to equal and full powers with us, while the North pay their debts and our own? for this is what we must do, if the peace party rules.
Our corps, the 5th, has received a great name in seizing the Weldon railroad, and the rebels can never drive us from our position, as we are strongly entrenched by all methods known to modern warfare. Our regiment has but eighty muskets left. We lost forty men in the last battle, but the victory was ours. C. V. V.

The detachment of the One Hundred and Forty-sixth Regiment Zouaves, under command of Capt. JONES, were originally recruited from the old Fifth New-York (Duryea's Zouaves) in 1862, and in 1863 when the Fifth returned home the recruits, (or three years men,) were transferred to the One Hundred and Forty-sixth Regiment, New-York Volunteers. These men belong to the class of troops now being mustered out on recent orders, while the regiment (One Hundred and Forty-sixth) remains in the field. This detachment has seen some of the fiercest battles of the war, from Manassas Plains, under POPE, through both Antietam and Gettysburgh campaigns, and all subsequent engagements. They all belong in this city.

The 146th.—RESOLUTIONS OF THANKS.
— At a meeting of the officers of the 146th N. Y. V., representing the different companies, the following resolutions were passed:
Resolved, That the sincere and hearty thanks of the members of the regiment are due and hereby tendered to the citizens of Utica, for the grand old welcome given us on our return.
Resolved, That to Hon. Alrick Hubbell, as chairman, and the members of the reception committee, for their untiring efforts, our thanks are due and hereby given. 
Resolved, That our first surrender since entering the field took place on Saturday, the 22d inst., our captors being the "fair ladies of Utica," who by their kindness fairly overcome us—to them we yield.
146TH REGT. N. Y. VOLS.
— We omitted on Saturday to mention an important and suggestive feature of the procession. We refer to the horses ridden by the late Col. JENKINS, and Lt. Col. CURRAN, during their campaigns, which followed the 146th, led by grooms. They carried nearly the same trappings which they wore when rode by their owners. The horse of Col. JENKINS was the same one presented to him by B. N. HUNTINGTON, esq., of Rome, when the former was Major of the 146th.
— There were some handsome and appropriate decorations at private houses on Genesee hill Saturday, which attracted much attention from the visiting soldiers and all passers by. Those at Mr. J. CROUSE'S, S. KELLOGG'S, J. ROCKWELL'S, WARD HUNT'S, A. B. JOHNSON'S (here the colors of the old 26th were displayed), and at the City hotel particularly, were very fine.

THE ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-SIXTH NEW-YORK is expected to-morrow or the next day. They belong to Oneida County.
The One Hundred and Forty-sixth Regiment was mustered into the service of the United States on the 18th of October, 1862, having been recruited from Rome, Utica, Booneville, and other villages in Oneida County. The regiment rendezvoused at Utica, and was known as the "Fifth Oneida," and also as the "Halleck Infantry,'' named after Gen. Halleck, whose home originally was in Oneida County. The first Colonel of the One Hundred and Forty-sixth was KENNER GARRARD, who, as Captain in the Fifth United States Cavalry, was made a prisoner of war by the disgraceful surrender of Gen. TWIGGS, in Texas. Leaving West Point on his exchange, Col. GARRARD assumed the command of the One Hundred and Forty-sixth, at the suggestion of Gen. HALLECK. 
The One Hundred and Forty-sixth left Washington while the army were marching from camp at Sharpsburgh to Acquia Creek, Va., and, marching through Fairfax and Centreviile, the One Hundred and Forty-sixth crossed the Bull Run field, and joined the Army of the Potomac near Snicker's Gap, Va. The One Hundred and Forty-sixth was assigned to the Third Brigade, of Gen. SYKES' division of the Fifth Corps, then under the command of Gen. MEADE. The Fifth New-York (Duryee's Zouaves) at that time constituted the entire brigade, and was under the command of Brig.-Gen. G. K. WARREN, late Colonel of the Fifth New-York. Subsequently the One Hundred and Fortieth New-York (a Rochester regiment) completed the brigade. In SYKES' celebrated regular division the One Hundred and Forty-sixth continued until its final leaving the field. Its first battle was that of Fredericksburgh, in December of 1862, and it has shared in the perils and glories of every battle since fought by the Army of the Potomac.
At the battle of Chancellorsville the regiment suffered heavily in the first day's fight, and acquitted itself with honor. On the 4th of May the Fifth New-York received orders to return homo for muster out, and some 283 three year's men were transferred from the Fifth New-York, to the One Hundred and Forty-sixth regiment.
At the Battle of Gettysburgh the brigade, then under the command of Brig.-Gen. STEPHEN WEED, made a charge in support of the flying columns of the Third Corps, who had met with a temporary reverse. Subsequently the brigade, consisting of the One Hundred and Fortieth and One Hundred and Forty-sixth New-York, and Ninety-first and One Hundred and Fifty-fifth Pennsylvania, charged up and obtained possession of the famous Round Top, but at a severe loss in officers and men. Among the former was the Brigadier, (WEED,) and the Colonel of the One Hundred and Fortieth. (____,) who were both killed. HAZLITT'S famous battery was supported by the Third Brigade, and HAZLITT himself instantly killed during the action. Col. GARRARD was made Brigadier-General for gallant conduct at Gettysburgh. From Gettysburgh all through the Maryland, Centreville, Culpepper and Mine Run campaign of Gen. MEADE the One Hundred and Forty-sixth bore a conspicuous part. At the battle of the wilderness the One Hundred and Fortieth and One Hundred and Forty-sixth made the first charge of the day, the regiments losing terribly. The One Hundred and Forty-sixth suffered almost total annihilation, for out of nearly 60o muskets the loss was some 400 in killed, wounded and missing. Among the killed was Col. DAVID T. JENKINS, Lieut.-Col. Henry Curran and Lieut. PETER FROCLIGH. Both the Colonel and Lieutenant-Colonel were distinguished soldiers, ranging high among their fellow-officers for courage and skill. Col. JENKINS was thought to be, by those competent to judge, one of the best engineer officers in the Army of the Potomac who were not West Point graduates. There is no doubt that had Col. JENKINS lived through the campaign he would have reaped a rich harvest of brevet promotions.. The present Colonel was a Captain at the battle of the Wilderness, and now wears the eagles as a mark of his constant and continued duty.
Gen. GANARD has made for himself a high reputation in the West as a cavalry officer, and it was him who held Cumberland Gap so long against the attacks of the enemy.
The One Hundred and Forty-sixth comes home with 28 officers and 250 men, and the losses of the regiment have been as follows: Seven officers killed in action, and two of disease contracted in the service; forty-six officers have been discharged for disability from wounds and disease, making a total loss of fifty-five officers. There were 120 men killed in action, 147 died of disease, 416 wounded, and 550 discharged for disability from wounds or disease contracted while in service. The following comprises a list of battles of the One Hundred and Forty-sixth, viz.: 
1882—Fredericksburgh, Va., Dec. 13. 1863—Chancellorsville, Va., May 1-5; Aldie Gap, Va., June 20; Gettysburgh, Penn., July 1-5: Williamsport, Md., July 13; Bristoe Station, Va., Oct. 18; Rappahannock Station, Va., Oct. 21; Mine Bun, Va., Nov. 28-Dec. 1.

A Grand Reception to be Given!
Preparations for the Welcome!
The announcement in the OBSERVER yesterday afternoon that the Fifth Oneida Regiment arrived at Syracuse at noon, was followed by the appearance of Col. GRINDLAY in the city at four o'clock P. M. The Colonel, who was in fine health and spirits, brought the agreeable announcement that he had the permission of the War Department to bring his men to Utica to accept a formal Welcome, should our citizens desire to extend it; and added that he would be happy to make the visit on Saturday. Upon receiving this information, Hon. ALRICK HUBBELL immediately prepared a notice calling the Committee of Reception together at nine o'clock this morning. Col. GRINDLAY consented to remain in town until noon to-day, to be acquainted with the decision and action of the Committee.

MEETING OF THE RECEPTION COMMITTEE.
The Committee met in good numbers at Bagg's Hotel this morning, pursuant to notice, Mr. HUBBELL in the Chair. JOEL WILLARD was chosen Secretary pro tem. 
After the object of the meeting had been stated by the Chairman, the Committee, on motion of Postmaster HOPKINS, unanimously resolved to invite the One Hundred and Forty-Sixth Regiment to visit Utica tomorrow and accept a Welcome at the hands of our citizens.
On motion of Mr. CLOGHER, the following Committee of one from each Ward was appointed to collect the money which will be required to defray the expenses of the visit:
First Ward, Wm. Calverly; Second, Stephen Adams; Third, Theo. S. Sayre; Fourth, Chas. B. Barnard; Fifth, Jas. H. Read; Sixth, Nicholas A. White; Seventh, Lewis Michaels.
On motion, the returned soldiers of Oneida County, and the Forty-Fifth Regiment, N. G., were invited to act as an escort to the returning heroes.
It was resolved that, should the weather be favorable, the Dinner be given to the soldiers in Chancellor Square. If unfavorable, the tables will be spread in the City Hall, Ald. TOWNSEND was appointed to Superintend the preparation of the tables. 
Col. F. X. MEYERS, on motion of Ald. BABCOCK, was chosen Marshal of the Day.
Major LEWIS MICHAELS was appointed to the command of the Veterans who are to act as escort.

After appointing Messrs. HUBBELL, GRAY, HOPKINS, READ and TOWNSEND to go to the City Hall and confer with the ladies there assembled to take measures to aid in the Reception, the General Committee adjourned to meet in the City Clerk's office at half-past seven o'clock this evening.

LADIES' MEETING.
The ladies held a meeting in the Common Council Room, and resolved to do their share in entertaining the heroes of the 146th Regiment.

THE PROGRAMME.
After the Committee adjourned, Mr. HUBBELL waited upon Col. GRINDLAY and extended a formal invitation to the Regiment to come to Utica to-morrow and accept the hospitalities of the city. Col. GRINDLAY replied that the Regiment would be proud and happy to be the city's guests, and would reach Utica at 10 o'clock to-morrow (Saturday) morning.
Upon the arrival of the Regiment, a national salute will be fired, and the brave boys will be received by the Veterans of Oneida County and the 45th Regiment. They will be escorted through the city, and then entertained in Chancellor Square (if the weather be favorable) or the City Hall. Before dinner, they will be addressed by Judge BACON, who will extend to them a formal welcome. 
The Regiment is well known for the perfection of its drill, which Colonel GRINDLEY has consented to exhibit during the day.
The exercises of the day over, those of the Regiment who reside in this County (as most of the men do) will be furloughed until Monday. Others will return to Syracuse in one of the afternoon or evening trains.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 19, 1856.
The 146th Regiment.
RETURN OF THE FIFTH ONEIDA.
Sketch of Its Career.
A NOBLE RECORD,
History of Its Organination [sic].
ITS BATTLES AND CAPTURES.
List of Officers and Men.
The gallant officers and men of the One Hundred and Forty-Sixth Regiment are now en route for home. We are hourly expecting the announcement of their arrival at Syracuse. Our latest information from them is contained in a private note from Colonel GRINDLAY, written on the 16th inst., in which he states that the Regiment would leave for the Salt City on the following day—Monday. Arriving at Syracuse, they will be paid off almost immediately, and we may hope to see Colonel GRINDLAY and his brave fellows here before the close of the week.

A NOBLE REGIMENT.
The Regiment brings home a record of which its members will never cease to be proud. It has been in many battles; as men have ever behaved well in every position in which they have been placed; and the efficiency and bravery of its officers have won for them repeated promotions. While officers have regarded their men with pride, the men have looked up to their officers with respect and admiration; and both have been most warmly commended and praised—as we shall show—by the distinguished Generals under whom they have served. 
We are happy to be able to give our readers the information they will desire to obtain—and preserve—regarding the returning heroes. Below will be found a pretty full sketch of the "last but not least" of the Regiments which Oneida County sent to the war.

ORGANIZATIOX [sic] OF THE REGIMENT.
The headquarters of the One Hundred and Forty-Sixth, while the Regiment was forming, was Camp Huntington, in the village of Rome. This Regiment, like the 117th—Fifth Oneida—was organized under the auspices of the Oneida County War Committee, of which ex-Governor HORATIO SEYMOUR was Chairman. The power to recruit and the commissions of the officers were conferred by this Committee. The Committee chose for the head of the Regiment, an able officer of the Regular Army—KENNER GARRARD—who remained with the Regiment until promoted to a Generalship and sent to the west, where he has served with credit. Col. GARRARD and his eight hundred Oneida County boys left Camp Huntington on Saturday, the 11th day of October, 1862, for Washington. Immediately sent over into Virginia, they began that career as soldiers which they have honorably pursued and are now about to close with credit.

ORIGINAL STRENGTH.
We have omitted to give the precise original strength of the Regiment. It left the State thirty eight commissioned officers and seven hundred and sixty-seven enlisted men.

PRESENT STRENGTH.
We have not been able to learn the exact strength of the Regiment at the present time. The list of officers and men which we give above embraces only those who are returning home. We suppose there are others in hospital or otherwise prevented from being with the Regiment.

HIGH COMMENDATION.
The parting of the Regiment from the General officers of whose commands it has formed a part, has been the occasion for the expression of the highest praise of the returning heroes from the pens of those Generals. We are happy to present the following letters from Brevet Major General AYRES, Division Commander and Brigadier General HAYES, Brigade Commander:

FROM MAJOR GENERAL AYERS.
HEADQ'RS 3d Div. PROV. CORPS,
July 15th, 1865.
Col. James Grindlay Officers and Men of the 146th N. Y. Vols.
As our official relations are about to terminate, I take the occasion to express to you my deep regret therefore [sic], though rejoicing in its cause.
During the two years that your Regiment, has served in my command, and the many battles it has participated in I have ever felt entire confidence in its discipline and gallantry. I have never called upon it save to see the duty assigned, nobly perfotmed [sic].
I believe there is not a more distinguished regiment than yours.
Gallantly have you borne those torn and tatterred [sic] banners. Defiantly have you shaken them in the very jaws of death, and triumphantly waved them on fields of victory. 
Well assured that in your reception on returning home will be evinced the deep gratitude of an admiring people, and with my best wishes for your welfare and happiness, 
I remain sincerely and truly your friend.
(Signed) R. B. AYRES,
Brevet Maj. Gen. Commanding.

FROM BRIG. GENERAL HAYES.
HEADQ'RS 3D BRIG., 3D DIV.
PROV. CORPS, July 15, 1865.
Col. James Grindlay, commanding 146th N. Y. Vols.
COLONEL—In taking leave of you, I desire to express to you, and, through you, to your officers and men, my high appreciation of your gallant Regiment, and of its services in the late war.
Taking the field at an early day, it has participated in the severest campaigns, and it has won its reputation where soldiers are best tried —"upon the battlefield." 
Associated with many other good regiments, and for a long time with the infantry regfments [sic] of the regular army, the 146th yields the palm to none. By the intelligence and ability of its officers, by the discipline, soldierly character and conduct of its men, it has added lustre to the proud name of "Volunteer." 
After your long and arduous service, having accomplished your work, you return now to enjoy the greetings of your friends and families, and the laurels you have so nobly won. Let me assure you, you bear with you the best wishes of your friend and commander.
(Signed) Jos. HAYES,
Brig. Gen. Commanding.

CONCLUSION.
Such is the Regiment which Oneida County sent to the war nearly three years ago—such are its deeds, its history. The record is one which entitles the returning heroes to our gratitude and to a cordial welcome. We profoundly regret that War office "red tape" prevents our extending that welcome as the Regiment passes on its way to the mustering-out post. Yet some time and way may be discovered in which we can receive the veterans—can give them our hands and hospitality. Our Reception Committee meet to give the subject attention this evening. Let us not fail to give all honor to the brave!
