The 126th Ohio:
Rev. J. K. Andrews called at the Herald Office this morning. He is the Chaplain of the 126th Ohio. He is enjoying tolerable health, looks a little thin of flesh, and bears unmistakable marks of service: he is much sun-burnt, some care-worn, and is growing grey. He left his regiment on Sunday last. At that time, the regiment was located not far from Georgetown, and near Washington. The men were enjoying pretty good health, were footsore, but in other respects in good condition and good spirits. They are well-cared for, &c, being satisfactory.
They were in the battle of Monocacy, and suffered severely, but not so badly as first reported. The regiment lost in killed about 10 to 12, about 20 were captured, and probably 30 wounded, making in all between 50 and 60. The regiment numbers about 250 men, about 150 of the first enlistment. This regiment belongs to the 6th corps. The 6th and 18th are, we understand, to lie still at and near Washington. Rev. Andrews expects to give us a correct list of killed, wounded and missing at the battle of Monocacy in a few days-could not do so sooner, except in violation of orders-the Colonel objecting to publication of loss, so long as members of the Regiment were coming in, supposed to have been killed or captured.
