Letter from "Our Boy."
We call attention to a very interesting letter, which we publish to-day, from
our young friend William Plimley, who is a member of the 120th Regiment,
and participated in the late severe battles at Gettysburgh. It breathes a
spirit of patriotism which should animate every man and soldier in the country,
and serves to illustrate how steadfast, true and noble, is the loyalty which
pervades the army. It is to such self-sacrificing and devoted men as fought
and won the bloody fields of Gettysburgh, that the country looks with confidence
to carry it triumphantly through the terrible ordeal, which has been forced
upon it by Southern ambition and treason. Among the hosts who shall return
to the quiet and peaceful pursuits of life, after having victoriously borne
and established the "Old Flag" in every Southern State, we hope
to welcome and do honor to our patriotic young typo.
An Honorable Record.
Referring to the position and operations of the Army of the Potomac, the correspondent
of the Tribune furnishes the following statement bearing full testimony to
the gallant bearing of the 120th Regiment.
Saturday morning about daybreak, the cavalry pickets of the 5th New York and
of a Michigan Regiment, in all about four companies, which, together with the
120th, numbering 200 men, commanded by Capt. Lockwood, were in advance of the
main body some three or four miles, and perhaps halfway between James City
and Madison Court House, brought information that four Rebel brigades of cavalry
were crossing Robertson river at Russell's Ford, on our right flank. Capt.
Lockwood threw his little force into a piece of woods, and gallantly essayed
to check them.—Our cavalry, however, were so overwhelmingly outnumbered,
that they made no stand, and their retreat, and the narrowness of the piece
of woods, left the infantry flanks exposed.
The little band was at once turned, the Rebels calling out to them to surrender.
But Capt. Lockwood deployed his men as skirmishers, and retired fighting and
disputing every inch of the enemy's advance, till he reached the vicinity of
the main body. He lost 18 or 20 men taken prisoners. Directly that our cavalry
retired, the enemy's cavalry closely clung to him, and as soon as he himself
retired from, the woods, he lost the only advantage he had to offset against
such terrible odds.—This handful of men, diminishing every step, fell
back behind a rail fence and from it poured such a volley upon their pursuers
as to stagger the enemy's resolution to persist in the attack. Thus the enemy
was kept in check sufficiently long for Gen. Kilpatrick to form his main body
in line to receive him; but then it was to late.
The Rebels would not come again. The 120th New York list in killed, wounded,
and missing 100 men—half the entire number. Gen. Kilpatrick complimented
the regiment on their bravery and the service rendered in holding the enemy
in check long enough to give the main force ample time to prepare to meet him.
BURIAL OF LIEUTENANT BURHANS.—The remains of the lamented Lieutenant
John R. Burhans, who was killed in the battle of Gettysburg, were brought here
last week, and on Saturday last were buried in a family graveyard near Flatbush,
on the banks of the Hudson. The deceased was a member of the Odd Fellows' Lodge
in this village, and his funeral was attended by members of the lodge.—Kingston
Journal.

Lieut. Ketchum, wounded.
Lieut. Creighton, wounded.
Lieut. Wm. J. Cockburn, wounded.
Adjutant Russell, wounded.
Lieut. John K. Burhans, wounded.
Lieut. Alex. Austin, wounded in elbow.

about with the aid of a cane.
Major Rudolph Tappen, of the 120th Regiment, N. Y. V., arrived in town on
Friday evening last. He is looking well, while his shoulder straps indicate
their having seen, as they really have, much service.
ANOTHER PATRIOT GONE.—Killed at the battle of Gettysburgh, on the 2d
inst., Lieut. Edward H. Ketcham, of the 120th N. Y. S. V. Lieut. Ketcham went
from Milton with this regiment nearly two years ago, and has been in all the
battles in which his regiment was engaged, and was very zealous for the cause
of freedom. He enlisted from pare patriotic motives, at a great pecuniary sacrifice,
leaving a large farm to the sole management of a younger and only brother,
who has since enlisted in the 4th N. Y. Cavalry as a Lieutenant, from the same
motives. Edward was son of David and Martha Ketcham, formerly of Pleasant Valley,
who were very strict members of the Society of Friends. Lieutenant Ketcham
was a young man of much promise, very upright in all his dealings, and perfectly
reliable in all things. His remains were interred by his brother on the 4th.
His mother, who is a widow, can scarcely bear up under this bereavement.—Daily
Eagle.
Death of Lieut. Cockburn.
Lieutenant William James Cockburn, from Kingston, of the 120th Regiment, N.
Y. V., was severely wounded in the battle of Gettysburg—having a main
artery of a leg shot off. He appeared to be getting along well until Wednesday,
the 22d inst., when the artery again opened, causing his death. Lieut. Cockburn
was one of the first to volunteer in defence of his country—enlisting
and serving in the old 20th in its three months' service, although previously
not a member of the Ulster Guard. His body was brought to Kingston, and the
funeral services were held in the first Reformed Dutch Church on Sunday last—Rev.
Dr. Hoes preaching a funeral sermon to a very large concourse of people;
the crowd was so great we could not gain an entrance to the building. The
military and firemen were in attendance. Lieut. C's age was 28 years, and
unmarried.

To the Friends of Deceased Soldiers.
Wm. C. Burhans and Wm. Snyder, have recently returned from Gettysburg—on
Friday night last—bringing with them the remains of their brothers (who
were killed July 2d on the battle field 1 1/2 miles south of Gettysburg, along
the Emmetsburg road), Lieut. John R. Burhans and Orderly Sergt. John S. Snyder,
both members of the 120th Regt., N. Y. V. Lieut. Burhans' remains were taken
to Flatbush, on the banks of the Hudson, and were buried by the I. O. of O.
F. order; and Sergt. Snyder's corpse was deposited in the cemetery vault until
Sunday morning, when it was buried by the Masonic order. Wm. C. Burhans has
visited the battlefield and hospitals, and is therefore able and ready to give
information to any one who has friends buried or in the hospitals at Gettysburg;
also any one wishing to have bodies brought home for interment,—he has
made arrangements to have them conveyed in safety cases or in porophine sheets,
delivered at the depot, and then have them Expressed to their place of destination.
Any order sent by Mr. Burhans to J. B. Staunton, will be regularly attended
to without delay.
CASUALTIES IN THE 120TH REGIMENT.

publicity to the following official bulletin of casualties in the 120th Regiment,

omits his name from the list, although some of those reported were wounded

Tribute of Respect.
At a regular meeting of Kosciusko Lodge, No. 86, I. O. of O. F., held at Odd
Fellows' Hall, on Wednesday Evening, July 29th, 1863, the following Resolutions
were adopted:
Inasmuch as this Lodge has been called upon to mourn the loss of two of its
brethren, Lieutenant J. R. Burhans and 1st Sergeant John S. Snyder, of the
120th N. Y. V., both struck down on the fatal but victorious field of Gettysburg,
we with full hearts hereby give our testimony to the worth of those suddenly
called from our fraternal band, and it is hereby
RESOLVED, That we have received with unfeigned regret the sad tidings which
told us that our brethren were included among those who had offered up their
lives for their country; and we one and all bear witness to their worth as
men rich in all the virtues of citizens and exemplary in every relation of
life, and beloved for their kindness, amiability and sincerity of their intercourse
with their fellows, which added a warm affection to the esteem which their
worth commanded.
RESOLVED, That whilst this Order cannot but regard their fate as a sad loss
to its councils and associations, yet we will ever cherish with an honest pride
the remembrance of the lives which so brilliantly [sic] displayed the virtues
fostered by this Order, leading to the free offering up of life itself as the
crowning act of patriotism.
RESOLVED, That to the families and friends of our brethren, suddenly bereaved
of their cherished hopes and stay, we extend this expression of our sincerest
sympathy, and we trust that the comforting spirit which is promised to the
afflicted will soothe their sorrows and be their strength and stay.
RESOLVED, That this Lodge hereby orders this attestation of their sincere witness
to the worth of our brethren, and that the due testimonials thereof be accorded
by the Lodge, and these resolutions be entered on its minutes, transmitted
to their families and published.

RECAPITULATION.
Killed, 9
Wounded, 45
Missing, 18
Prisoner, 1
Capt. Frank Reynolds arrived home last week. His right arm was broken by a
musket ball, but not shattered, so that amputation will not be necessary.
The recent terrible battles in Pennsylvania, attended with such fearful slaughter,
have sent mourning into very many of our households, to be repeated yet many
times, we fear, ere "this cruel war is over." Below we give as complete
a list of casualties among "our boys" as we have been able to gather,
up to the hour of going to press.
Capt. MALBONE F. WATSON, (eldest son of the late Judge WATSON,) commanding
the battery of Regular Artillery formerly under the late Gen. WEED, was so
severely wounded in the knee that amputation had to be resorted to. He is now
at Gettysburg.
Lieut. "JACK" YOUNG, of the 20th Regiment, has returned to his home
in this place, with some ugly wounds, from which he is rapidly recovering.
He says that the carnage was awful, the field for five miles being literally
covered with the dead and wounded.

Never did any troops behave more bravely than did the 120th in the late battle.
The Brigade to which we are attached (the Excelsior,) complimented us very
highly on the gallant conduct displayed. We have suffered fearfully. The day
after the battle we numbered but 165 men, rank and file.
The conduct of both officers and men is worthy the commendation they have received.
I will try and give you a full detail of the battles, as soon as we remain
in one place long enough. The Regiment has been on the march ever since the
battle. We are investing the Rebels closely, and you may expect a heavy battle
ere long.
Remember me, with kind regards, to all my Union friends. We are looking forward
to victory and the restoration of the Union. When we do come home, we will
come crowned with laurels. The welcome news of the surrender of Vicksburg,
on the ever memorable 4th, was hailed with tremendous cheers by the troops,
and inspired them with new hope.
Yours, &c.,
WM. PLIMLEY,
Quartermaster-Sergeant, 120th Regt. N. Y. Vols.
News from the 120th.
Major Abm. L. Lockwood writes us from Brandy Station, (Va.) the headquarters
of the 120th, as follows:
DEAR SIR: —I send you below an extract from a letter just received from
Sergeant T. C. Brooks, Company A, who has just been paroled by the rebel authorities
and sent north. He and Richard P. Schryver are the only ones of our regiment
who were paroled, and are now at St. John's Hospital, Annapolis, Maryland.
By publishing the extract, you may relieve the anxiety of those having friends
and relatives among those who still remain prisoners.
[Extract.]
CAPT. A. L. LOCKWOOD—I take this opportunity to inform you that I am
once more in America. I was one of the lucky ones who got paroled with the
last lot by giving $5 in greenbacks. Sergeant Roosa was left at the Libby Prison,
and will probably be sent to Georgia with the next squad. Richard Schryver
and myself were the only ones that were paroled of the 120th Regiment. It is
five months to-day since I was captured, and since then we have been in Pemberton
Prison and on Belle Island. Daniel Davis, of your company, died in February
last on Belle Island. R. H. Countryman and Julien D. Rice are in hospital,
and look bad. The rest are well, but nearly starved. I send you a list of the
men of your company who are there:
Sergt. L. Roosa, Sergt. H. Burgher, Jr., Corp. Charles Dumond, Conrad Dumond,
Frailey Maines, Abram Maines, Jacob Van Velsan, Wm. Rhoades, Jeremiah Terwilliger,
R. H. Countryman, Julien D. Rice and George Longcoy.
The Acting Sergeant-Major, Silas Auchmoody, is well, but very thin in flesh.—Give
my love to all the boys, and tell them never to be taken prisoners. T. C. B.
Another Ulster Volunteer Gone.
The blood of our brave Ulster volunteers tinges the soil even of Pennsylvania
The green plains of Gettysburgh, have drank the life blood of our patriot sons!
Those bloody battles have caused many a heart to bleed with anguish in Ulster!
They have struck down many flowers of vigorous youth and manhood—whose
beauty and strength were the pride of their friends. But they died martyrs
in the cause of liberty and right; and we will honor their memories, while
the pages of history will glow with their praises. Such has been the fate of
Orderly Sergeant JOHN S. SNYDER, of West Hurley, a member of Company A, 120th
Regiment. He was killed in the second days' fighting on the battle fields of
Gettysburgh, nobly fighting for his country. He was well known hereabouts,
and was highly respected for his manly virtues, energy of purpose and complacent
mien. He has won the reward of a valiant soldier, and has gone to a soldier's
rest. His remains were brought on here by his friends, and on Sunday last the
funeral services were had, and his body consigned to the grave. The deceased
was a Free and Accepted Mason, and a member of the Odd Fellows Lodge. He was
buried with Masonic orders in the Wiltwyck Cemetery—and most imposing
and impressive were the ceremonies—the Masons and Odd Fellows forming
a hollow square around the grave, while the Grand Master, Warren Chipp, performed
the funeral rites. That Eye which ever watches the patriot soldier's tomb,
will keep vigilance over the grave of our Sergeant hero, while loving angels
will scatter fresh laurels to bind the brow of their new companion.
The Late Jasper Hulbert.
Another Kingston volunteer has fallen from the ranks of the armed hosts of
the Union. On the 15th instant, John Jasper S. Hulbert, of the 120th Regiment,
died in hospital from wounds in the left arm and right hip, received at the
battle of Gettysburgh on the 3d of July. He had been lying at the United
States Hospital at West Buildings, Baltimore, for several weeks, and his
father, O. H. Hulbert, of this village, who visited him there soon after
he was wounded, was informed by the surgeons attending him that his recovery
was certain. Some time after, word was received that his condition had become
much worse, and his mother early last week went to Baltimore to minister
to his wants; but on arriving there she learned that her son was already
dead and buried!
Jasper was well known in this village, and he had many friends. He died in
the very opening of manhood. Ere he had fairly entered the arena of active
life, the pleading voice of his country called him to come to her support,
and in obeying that call he fell a martyr to Freedom, and joined the mighty
army of American heroes who have passed in glory the dark valley and shadow
of death.
He was born at Whitehall, Washington county, but has been a resident of
Kingston nearly all his life. We have known him as an assistant of the Kingston & Rondout
Agent of the American Express Company, and as Clerk in the Kingston Post-Office,
and we know that in both capacities he showed fine business talents, and gave
promise of a successful future.
When rebellion broke out, he was among the first to enlist for the defence
of the Constitution and the Laws of the Federal Government. In the 20th Regiment,
in its first campaign, he performed the duties, of a soldier with the utmost
fidelity to patriotic principle. When the first call for 300,000 men was issued,
he instantly resolved to go out, again under the Nation's flag, and enlisted
in Co. B, 120th Regiment. In the line of his duty as a member of that Regiment,
he took part in the battle of Fredericksburgh and the battle of Chancellorville—on
both occasions fighting as bravely as man could fight. From those engagements
he came out unscathed; but, on the second day of the battle of Gettysburgh,
while fighting with lion courage, and after cheerfully enduring exhausting
marches, emaciating privations, for long days and nights, and coolly facing
death during a prolonged contest, he received the wounds that finally ended
his term of service and closed up his career on earth. He fell with his face
to the ground, entirely helpless, and there lay exposed to the fire of the
enemy full ten hours before he was carried off' the field. Ever after he could
lie only on his face and on his back. He suffered much and constantly; but
he bore his pains with the fortitude of a stoic. No Roman brave could endure
suffering more calmly or meet death more resignedly.
Jasper met secession at its outset, and he died combatting [sic] it in its
acme. He died fighting that millions surviving him and innumerable myriads
after him could enjoy the blessing of sweet peace.—Hallowed be his memory.
Felicity to his spirit.

From the 120th Regiment.
We extract the following concerning the 120th Regiment, from the correspondence
of the New Paltz Times, under the date of August 10th:
"
At present our Regiment is doing picket duty along the Rappahannock, between
Beverly and Freeman's Ford.—I assure you we enjoy ourselves along this
beautiful stream, and in the cool shade. It is just the placs [sic] for our
wearied soldiers, after long marches over dusty roads, and through the hot
sun.
"
The Regiment is under the command of Capt. Abram Lockwood. Major Tappen has
gone to New York, with a detail of men from the Regiment to aid in enforcing
the draft, and to bring on the conscripts—three hundred and fifty-five
of whom will be placed in the 120th.
"
Great indignation is felt by the members of the Brigade at the dastardly conduct
of the Copperheads in our native State. We have some respect for the rebel
soldiers who will stand up, face the bullets and fight like men; but words
cannot express the contempt with which we regard those home traitors, who seek
to stab in the dark and fire in the rear."'
THE ULSTER REGIMENTS.
LIST OF CASUALTIES.
After our regular edition went to press, we received the following authentic
intelligence concerning the casualties in the 20th and 120th Regiments, which
were in the thickest of the fight at Gettysburgh.
Headquarters 120th Regiment, July 4, 1863
MY DEAR ROMEYN—I send you the enclosed memoranda by our surgeon of the
losses in the 120th, in the late battles. It is not complete, except as to
officers, but is correct as far as it goes. I shall try and send you more full
accounts by tomorrow.
I send you by same mail a letter from Col. Gates, with the losses of the 20th.
Our Regiments have fought together upon a field of great glory, but the counties
of Ulster and Greene have sadly contributed to its accomplishment.
When you look over the list you will see that my heart is too full to write
more.
Yours, very truly,
GEO. H. SHARP.
