at Jackson, Mich., Aug. 1, 1865.

The Thirteenth Battery operated principally in redoubts and fortifications. It took a very prominent part in the defense of Ft. Stephens, near Washington, when the Confederate General Early attacked it, July 11 and 12, 1864. The battery was mustered out July 1, 1865, at Jackson, Mich.

The Fourteenth Battery served principally with Hardin's Division of the 23d Army Corps, and assisted in garrisoning Forts Carroll, Snyder and Grebble, until July 17, 1865, when it proceeded to Jackson, Mich., for discharge. During the advance of Gen. Early on Washington, the battery took a magnificent part in repelling his attack.

SOLDIERS OF THE CIVIL WAR BURIED IN JACKSON COUNTY.

The graves of the soldiers who fell during the war for the Union, or returned home to die and who were buried here, are not in such a satisfactory condition as many might desire; yet in many instances a wooden tablet marks the spot where the remains of a soldier lie, while a miniature flag, placed upon the grave at each recurring celebration of Decoration Day, brings vividly before the visitor to the cemeteries a realization of the enduring attachment of the people to the memories of those gallant men who fought and fell in defense of the Republic. The salutory action of the National Cemeteries' Committee in providing headstones for the soldiers' graves will soon make itself evident. Even now the names of those buried in the cemeteries of the county have been sent to the War Department at Washington, and it is expected that within a brief period of time the enduring stone tablets will occupy the places at present unmarked or held by the unsightly, decaying, wooden records. A close examination of the graves, together with one formerly made under the direction of A. J. Gould and Sexton Smith, of Jackson, trustees of the cemetery, elicited the following particulars:

EAST CEMETERY, GRASS LAKE.

H. R. Rice, Co. G, 11th Mich. Inf.

Notwithstanding the diligence of inquiry, carried over the past few years, there are seven soldiers' graves in the cemetery the names of whose tenants are unknown. That they fought for the Union, and died from wounds and diseases received or engendered throughout those trying years, is evident. They died in harness and the uniform of the United States, which formed their last winding sheet, and this left also the last and only vestige of their history.

PRESENT MILITARY ORGANIZATION.

From the close of the war to 1875 the county possessed no military organization in connection with the Michigan State troops. By a general order of the Commander-in-chief, dated Feb. 10, 1875, a company of Jackson Volunteers commanded by Capt. E. B. Griffith was mustered into the 1st Regiment as Company I. A second order, issued May 19, 1876, changed the letter of the company to G. The first regiment, as reorganized in 1876, comprised among the officers Col. W. H. Withington, Lieut. Col. J. D. Hinckley, Adjutant H. C. Gilbert, Surgeon Phillip Porter, Q.
