The Ringgold Regiment.—We publish this week a
complete list of the men and officers enrolled in the Ring-
gold or Bucks County Regiment, No. 104, of Pennsylva-
nia Volunteers, together with their respective residences
before enlisting. The ten infantry companies, together
with the staff and field officers and regimental band, include
nine hundred men. Captain Harvey’s Company is the
only one filled up to the full complement of 101 men. The
others range between eighty and one hundred, except Cap-
tain Walters’, which musters 70 men, and Captain Dun-
can’s, which musters 54. Our young men appear unwil-
ling to enlist under officers to whom they are strangers,
and these two companies have made very little progress in
filling up their ranks. The Artillery Company musters
135 men, but it is not yet fully organized. A captain,
three lieutenants and two sergeants have been appointed
to drill the company. They have had no guns or other
arms as yet, and probably will not until their arrival at
Washington.
The list we publish shows that the great bulk of the
eight companies recruited here are from different localities
in Bucks county. They are mostly unmarried men, and
the ranks are filled with the best and bravest of our young
citizens. All portions of the county have contributed
something toward filling up the regiment. We have pre-
pared a classification of the officers and men of the infan-
try companies, resulting as follows :
Bristol Borough, Bristol Township, Bensalem, Bedminster, Buckingham, Doylestown Borough, Doylestown Township, Durham, Falls, Haycock, Hilltown, Lower Makefield, Upper Makefield, Middletown, Milford, Morrisville, Northampton, Newtown Boro. & Twp., New Hope, New Britain |
