(Signed) Acting Rear Admiral' N.‘A. B. S.
001. ulric Dahlgren was born in Pennsylvania,
and is tile son of Admiral Dahlgren, the com
mander of tbe fleet operating off Charleston. The
yonng hero first came Into notice during the pres
ent war as an aid-de-camp, having been ap
pointed on May 28, 1802, to that position, from the
District of Coiumb'a, with the ranli of captain.
He was ordered to report to General Fremont, then
at the head of the Mountain Department, and was
by him assigned to the staff of Gen. Bufus Saxton,
then commanding a division in that section of the
country. Under General Fremont Captain Dahl
gTen participated in ; he campaign near Cross Keys,
Ya., JuneB, 1862. "When General Fremont was
relieVf d of his command Captain Dahlgren was
assigned to General Sigel's staff, and participated
in the campaign of the Army of Virginia and m
ihe oj erati ins in the Valley before Washington.
Captain Dahleren, on November 9, 1862, made a
successful dash into the city of Fredericksburg, at
the head of a small force of cavalry. Daring the
Pennsylvania campaign of June and Jaly, 1863,
Captain Dahlgren behaved with distinguished gal
lantry, and was severely wounded during an en
gagement near Hagerstown, the wound causin'-
the amputa'ion of his leg below the knee. For his
gallantry on that occasion he was pronu ted to the
rank of Colonel of Volunteers, to date from that
particular time. The severity of his wonnds pre
vented him for some time irom entering upon ac
tive service. He waß scarcely convalescent when
he started upon the expedition, and it was only by
his most urgent request that he was allowed to ac
company General Kilpatrick.

When the rebel hordes of the Inyader Lee were
driven eack trum the free soil of Pennsylvania,
aud when the gallant soldiers of General Meads
remamea in posseEeionof the field which they had
WOL by tteir vaior. The Association have-already
eecnrrd the pnicnaseof Ckmkteby Him,, Crap’s
Hira Gkasitemto and Round Top, with the
entrenchments thrown np just npon the eve of the
great conflicted :h was the turning point in the
eareerof the rebellion. The field, with its redoubts,
wonderful stone defences, Its timber breast-workT
liefcrest heights, with the trees tom by shells and
countless bn,lets, and its long lines of earthwork
defences, have all been preserved intact, and to so
continue to preserve the%, as to be a monument
forever of the greatest of American Battle-fields,

To enable a large nnmberof persons to join in this
patriotic work, the projectors of the plan placed
the subscriptions at ten dollars each." The payment
