NOTES. — The Eighth, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Sawyer, distinguished itself at Gettysburg by its effective service at an important point on the line. On the afternoon of the second day's battle it drove the Confederate Sharpshooters out of a cut on the Emmettsburg Road, at a point in front of Hays's Division. This advanced point, between the lines, was held by the regiment without leaving it until the close of the battle on the next day; by changing front, this advanced position enabled the Eighth to strike Pcttigrew's Division in its flank, as it fell back at the time of Pickett's repulse, the regiment capturing three stands ot colors and a large number of prisoners. In seizing this point on the Emmettsburg Road, and in defending it against the enemy's skirmish line during these two days, the regiment lost 18 killed, 83 wounded, and i missing, out of 209 present for duty. The Eighth Ohio organized in April, 1861, as a three months regiment, but reenlisted soon after for three years. It served in West Virginia until March, 1862, when it moved with Shields's Division up the Shen-andoah, fighting at the battle of Kernstown, where it lost n killed, 41 wounded, and i missing. In July it joined the Army of the Potomac at Harrison's Landing, where it was assigned to Kimball's (ist) Brigade, French's (3d) Division, Second Corps. At Antietam, the regiment lost 32 killed, and 129 wounded; at Fred ericksburg, 6 killed, and 27 wounded. While on the Wilderness campaign the Eighth was in Carroll's (3d) Brigade, Gibbon's (2d) Division, Second Corps. Ordered home June 25, 1864, for muster-out. _08981
