On the second day of August their term of enlistment expired, and they made no delay in embarking on board the cars for home. They were paid off and mustered out, mostly on the ninth of August, and discharged at Concord. The First Regiment New Hampshire Volunteers did no fighting, excepting the exchange of shots at intervals for two days across the river at Conrad's Ferry. In this affray none of our men were hit. The rebels admit one captain and two privates killed and about twelve wounded. The regiment, however, did a large amount .of guard duty, a service which, though unattended with much eclat, may have accomplished as great good as a victory on the field of blood and carnage. The regiment did faithfully all that was required of it. The First Regiment New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry was attached to the Department of Washington May 27, 1861; to the Seventh Brigade, Third Division, Department of Penn- sylvania, July 10, 1861.
