Vr'un- to the first of December he had recruited upon his own plan, and largely at his own expense, t«o regiments of infantry, a squadron of cavalry, and a bat- tery of artillery, comprising over 2, 300 men, of as good material as ever enlisted for the war. They were three years' troops, composed mainly of farmers' sons, and commanded by company officers of their own selection, lie had great diffi- culty in procuring the assignment to him of field officers possessing sufficient exjier- ience to... command men. He had announced in his plan that the leading com- manding officers should have received a military education, and that he would see that persons competent to drill troops were selected. He had great difficulty in getting the assignment of such officers, and only succeeded upon the direct order of President Lincoln, and against the remonstrance of General Scott. Second Lieutenants H. Harker and Forsythe, two young officers of the Regular Armv, were finally assigned to the command of the two regiments; Captain Bradley, an experienced sergeant of the Regular Army, was assigned lo the command of the battery; and the squadron of cavalry was placed under the commaixl of General McLaughlin, who had had some experience in the Mexican War, and resideil in Mansfield.
