The regiment pated in Sherman's march through Geor- Savannah, and on December 31 it crossed the Savannah river with the first brigade of western troops that entered South Carolina, ALL THERE WAS LEFT OF THEM. An amusing incident of this campaign was told by Col. Merrill. “Three of us,” said he, “Charley Cox, my man Jerry, and myself, were gomg from our camp on Hardee's plantation to Savannah with the remains of the regimental banners, which were to be sent home. Jerry carried the flags, which, notwithstanding all our care, were re- duced to axe", tattered stripes, a tassel or two, and brokch staves. Flags could not have looked more forlorn, ‘What regiment's this? said a sentinel, who kept a-solitary guard at the head of a pontoon bridge. “The seventieth Indiana,’ answered ‘My God!’ ex- claimed the man, raisipg his hands, ‘and this is all there is left of you!” Marching through the Carolinas with Sher- man's army, the seventieth rested at Ralei nder. It afterward marched with the army of Georgia to Richmond and then on to this city, where it was mustered out of serv- ice on the Sth day of June, 1865.

On the 18th of July he a nounced in a general order the division of the District militia into the two classes of enrolled or reserve militia, and active or volunteer militia, or national guard, and the assignment Captain, Theo.
