Pleasant A. Haokleman, eeported killed at Cortath, entered the service of the United States during the present rebellion, as colonel of the Sixteenth rogiment of Indians Yolunteers—one of de first of those ‘who enlisted for twelve months’ service. ‘The regiment entered the service in June, 1861, and after the battle of Bull run was ordered by General Mv- Olellan to report to General Banks, in the neighborhood of Harper’s Ferry. ‘Fag some time the regiment was sta- tioned along the Mouocacy river, in Maryland, being, about the first of August, organized as @ portion of Genera) Abercomibie’s brigade; and m QOetober was removed to Darnestown, in the same State, and where they went into winter quarters. When the army advanced, at the com. mencemwent of the present season, Colone) Hackleman’s regiment formed a portion of the First brigade of the First division of General Banks’ corps @’ avmce. The bri. gade commander was Gen. Abercombie, aud the division ecramander Gon, Williams. In February, 1862, the regiment was stationed vear Fre@erick, Marylasd, and advanced via the Potomac River into the Shenandoah Valley, where they served bravely under the before-mentioned generais. Shortly before the time of General Banks’ noted retreat the regi ment returned to their State to reorganize for longer ser. vice. This was in May last. For merttorions servive the colonel was appointed a Brigadier General, his appoint ment being aunounced in General Orders No. 63, of June 10,1662, We was then ordered to report to Genera! Grant, in the Southwest. Ris regiment was reorganized in Jndianapolis, under Colonel Lucas, formerly Lieutenant Colenel, and we believe it ia now ip the flsld, in Kentueky or vicinity, and is sub - stantially the same as when in Virgipia.
