In Aug., 1862, he attached himself to Co. K, Ninth, with which he remained, performing every duty in a faithful, intelligent, and fearless manner.

During his term of service he wrote much for newspapers in N. J., under the nom de plume of ” Vidi,” and among his contributions of that period I find the following : {From the N. Y.
