rowd between one and
three o'clock P.M., marching back to camp in the evening, where it
arrived as much fatigued as if it had been pursuing rebels.

At twelve o'clock M. on the day after the grand review, General Morgan
moved his division across the long bridge over the Potomac into
Washington City, and thence three miles north, where he camped it near
the President's summer houses.

While encamped here the boys were allowed many privileges in and around
the Capitol; all the guards being taken off, they were allowed to run
wild, though they did not run riot.

Here also the Eighty-sixth Illinois, on the evening of the 6th of June,
1865, was mustered out of the United States service, having been
engaged in the service of its country as an organized body for three
years wanting two months and twenty-two days.

Immediately after this the boys of the regiment saluted each other as
American citizens and not as soldiers, and though the metamorphosis was
sudden, it seemed to have the force of a protracted transformation.

The following are the casualties of the regiment from the time it left
Lee and Gordon's Mills until its muster out:

Recruits 6
Transferred by promotion 1
Transferred to other regiments 31
Discharged 21
Ordinary deaths 11

Missing 33
Deserted 6
Wounded in action 133

Died of wounds 15
Resigned 2

The entire casualties of the Eighty-sixth Regiment, during its term of
service, in killed and died, discharged, transferred and deserted, was
four hundred and sixty-seven men, the company loss being as follows:
