Vols., and when the government found it-elf in too .-prions a war to permit its employment further of regimental bands, and ordered them all mustered out, he received an honorable discharge. To the credit of the 27th band it can be said that when battles were on they laid aside their instruments, and took places in the Held, either lighting or taking care of the wounded. After his discharge Mr. Friedman volunteered. as a private in the M"d Indiana, was promoted to Sergeant, and for bravery in battle was promoted just at the close of the war, to 1-t Lieutenant, by social order, though he did not receive his commission till after his return home, when the war had ended.
