Sixtieth Infantry. - (One Year's Service.) Col., William
H. Trimble; Lieut.-Col., Noah H. Hixon; Maj., Joseph K. Marley.
This regiment was organized at Gallipolis, Feb. 25 to 28, 1862,
to serve for one year.  In April it was sent to the field and
joined Gen. Fremont's forces at New creek, W. Va.  It partici-
pated in the brisk engagement near Strasburg, where it behaved
like a veteran regiment and won reputation.  It was highly com-
plimented on the field for its firmness and coolness under fire
at Cross Keys, in which engagement it lost severely.  Its last
service was in the unfortunate affair at Harper's Ferry, where,
as a consequence of the surrender of the place, the entire mem-
bership of the 60th became prisoners of war.  They were pa-
roled, and on Nov. 10, 1862, were mustered out of service.
