Account Of The Thirty-Ninth Regiment

Mustered into service at Indianapolis August 29, 1861, under command of 'Thomas J. Harrison as Colonel, and left for Kentucky early in September, marched with Buell's' army to Nashville, and on the 7th of April, 1862, participated in the battle of Shiloh, Tenn., with a loss of 2 killed, 34 wounded, total, 36; was in the siege of Corinth from the 11th of April to the 30th of May, 1862; passed through Northern Ala- with Buell's army, after Bragg, covering the time from April to November of that year; afterward engaged in the battle of Stone River, Tenn., December 31, 1862, and January 1 and 2, 1863, suffering a loss of 31 killed, 118 wounded, and 231 missing, in all, 3880; then camped at Murfreesboro, till April following, when the men were mounted and served as mounted infantry, taking part in the fight with Wheeler's Cavalry, at Murfreesboro, Tenn., on the 6th of June, 1863, and in the series of skirmishes -at Middleton and Liberty Gap; in the battle of Winchester, Tenn., and of Chickamauga, September 19 and 20, 1863.

On the 15th of October of the same year, it was organized as the Kighth Cavalry, and, during the month of December succeeding, it was engaged in courier duty between Chattanooga and Ringgold, Ga. February 22, 1864, it was veteranized and furloughed home the following April; participated in the Rousseau raid, routed the enemy at Coosa River and Chehaw Bridge, and in McCook's raid around Atlanta, as well as in Kilpatrick's raid through Georgia. In the battle of Lovejoy's Station, it rode over Ross' rebel division, capturing all his artillery and four battle-flags; was engaged also in the battles of Jonesboro and Flint River, skirmishing in the vicinity of Atlanta; marched with Kilpatrick through Georgia to Goldsboro, N. C., and took part in the battles and skirmishes at Waynesburg, Buckhead Church, Brown's Cross Roads, Reynolds' Farm, Aiken, Bentonville, Averysboro and Raleigh. At Averysboro, it routed Rhett's rebel brigade of infantry, numbering ten times its own force, with a loss of 14 killed and 29 wounded; subsequently engaging with Forrest's command in the battle of Pulaski, Tenn.

On the 20th of February, 1865, the Third and Eighth Cavalry Regiments were consolidated as the Eighth Regiment, and on the 20th of July, having previously routed Hampton's forces at Morristown, N. C., it remained on duty in that State at the date given, at which time it was mustered out of service. Upon the return of the regiment to Indianapolis, on the 31st of July, 1865, a public reception was tendered, and speeches appropriate to the occasion were made by Lieut. Gov. Baker, and Gen. Hovey. It was finally discharged a few days after.

_ This regiment, from first to last, enrolled nearly 2,900 men, had 9 officers killed in battle, 300 of its men had been captured and detained as prisoners of war. In return, it had taken prisoners more than 1,500 of the enemy, captured 1,000 stands of arms, three railroad trains, 1,400 mules and horses, many wagons, 14 pieces of artillery, 4 battleflags, and destroyed many miles of railroad track. Its field of operations was Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and the Carolinas, with Buell in Kentucky and Tennessee, with Thomas in Tennessee, with Sherman through Georgia to the sea, and through the Carolinas. ' The entire route presented a continued scene of daring and adventure. As mounted infantry and cavalry especially, there was scarcely an interval of inactivity. Raids, chases, captures, skirmishes and battles followed each other with fearful rapidity and terrible execution. In the beginning, its route lay across Kentucky and Tennessee to Nashville and Corinth, thence back again across Tennessee and Kentucky, pursuing Bragg to Nashville, Murfreesboro and Chattanooga.

From the time of its becoming mounted, its activity was still greater than before. Roussau's, MeCook's and Kilpatrick's raids, and Kilpatrick's march to the sea and to Goldsboro, were crowded with adventure, and the regiment was constantly on the alert, the exigencies of the time making heavy demands upon their endurance and skill to carry the command through the hardships encountered, and to outrival the shrewdness of the opposing foe. They were, however, usually crowned with success, notwithstanding the terrible pressure attending the movements. Portions of the regiment were captured, but, as a whole, it was never defeated. Taken all in all, the history of the gallant Thirty-uinth, both in the role of infantry and cavalry, is truly wild, exciting and adventurous, and the brave boys composing it may well be proud of the record they made. BERS

Mustered in at Indianapolis December 9, 1861, with John A. Bridgland as Colonel. Reorganized September 14, 1864. Mustered out July 22, 1865.

The Second was the first complete cavalry regiment made up in the State. It was organized at Indianapolis on the 3d of September, 1861, and Col. John A. Bridgland placed in command; mustered into servyice December 9, 1861; broke camp and started for Louisville, Ky., December 16, 1861. Subsequently, it went with Buell's army to Nashville, thence to Shiloh, after the battle, skirmishing near Corinth, Miss., April 9, 1862; made reconnoissance in force, April 22. and drove the enemy three miles; from April 11 until May 30, it participated in the siege of Corinth, Miss., skirmishing with the enemy at Tuscumbia., Ala., on the 31st, suffering a small loss; was in the battle of McMinnville, Tenn., August 9, 1862; in the battle at Gallatin, August 21, losing a considerable number in killed and wounded; went in the Buell campaign against Bragg; through Kentucky, in September and October, engaging in the battle of Vinegar Hill, Ky., on the 22d of September; of Perryville (Chaplin Hills), Ky., October 8, 1862. On the 30th of November, a detachment of this regiment re-captured a Government train, defeating the rebel cavalry, killing 20 and capturing 200 prisoners, for which action they were highly complimented by Gen. Rosecrans, in special field orders. In the winter of 1862, the regiment was on duty near Nashville. June 11, 1863, it was in the battle of Triune, coming out with some loss. During the fall of 1863, it was on duty along the line of the Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad. On the 29th of November, several of the men were drowned at Caney Fork, and on the 29th of December, it engaged the enemy in the battle of Talcott's Station. January 10, 1864, the men re-enlisted at Mossy Creek, Tenn., afterward engaging in numerous scouts and skirmishes with considerable loss. From May to September, 1864, it was on the march with Sherman, to Atlanta, participating in the fights at Varnell's Station, near Resaca, on the 9th of May; near Acworth,

July 1; near Newnan, July 28 and 30; near Atlanta, on the 30th of August, 1864. After Atlanta was taken, the non-veterans were mustered out, and the veterans and recruits formed into a battalion, with four companies, September 14, 1864, under the command of Maj. Roswell S. Hill.

During the months of November and December, 1864, it was on duty in Kentucky, in January following moving to Eastport, Ala., and joining the army of Gen. Willson, it participated in the raid through that State, engaging the enemy in the fight near Scottsville, on the 2d of April, and at West Point, Ga., on the 16th. In this latter engagement, the regiment lost heavily, Maj. Hell having one of his legs shot off while leading a charge. The success of the raid being accomplished, the regiment returned to Nashville, where it was mustered out

FIFTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT - THREE YEARS. This regiment was mustered into service at Richmond on the 18th of November, 1861, with J. W. T. McMullen as Colonel. Officers, 50; men, 925; recruits, 449; veterans, 215; unassigned recruits, 15; total, 1,652. Mustered out with 23 officers and 138 men, under Col. John §. McGraw. Officers died, 7; men died, 260; deserters, 54. Veteranized January 1, 1864, and mustered out of service at Victoria, Texas, December 14, 1865. ACCOUNT OF THE REGIMENT.

The Fifty-seventh Regiment was kept mostly in Kentucky and Tennessee, passing over a very large portion of those States in executing the purposes of its mission in the beleaguered territory. It was at first assigned to the Sixth Division of the Army of the Ohio, afterward called the Army of the Cumberland, and, after the battle of Chickamauga, was placed in Sheridan's Division of the Fourth Army Corps, in which position it was almost constantly on duty, being engaged in nearly all the actions that took place in that region, enduring severe hardships and casualties. 'To give an idea of the soldier's life and of the perils to which he is subjected, it is enough to state that the deaths in the Fifty-seventh were 300, or about one to every eight of those engaged, while those discharged for disability were 243, making 543 in all, or, adding for the probable deaths among those recorded as missing, there will be found fully six hundred either dead or disabled in a single regiment, or about 36 per cent of the entire body. This is indeed a fright ful loss, and tells a fearful tale of the calamities of war.

'The brief sketch given in the State report of the war, as to the field of operations of this regiment, is substantially as follows: Tennessee and Kentucky, in 1862; the siege of Corinth, the pursuit of Bragg, the campaign of Rosecrans in Tennessee, all during the same year; the relief of Chattanooga, in 1863; the pursuit of Hood, in 1864; in East Tennessee in 1863-64; against Atlanta in 1864, and in Texas with other forces, were the following: Shiloh, Tenn., April 6, 7, 1862; siege of Corinth, May 11 to 30; Perryville, Ky., October, 1862; Stone River, December 31, 1862, and January 1 and 2, 1863; Mission Ridge, Tenn., November 23 and 25, 1863: Rocky Face Ridge, Ga., May 9, 1864; Resaca, May 14 and 15, 1864; New Hope Church, May 27; Kenesaw Mountain, June 18, 23, 27; Peach Tree Creek, July 20; siege of Atlanta, July 21 to September 2, and Jonesboro, September 1, 1864, all in the State of Georgia; Spring Hill, November 29; Franklin, November 30, and Nashville, December 15, 16, 1864, in Tennessee.

If any one will scan that list he will find it to be a formidable one indeed - nearly all of them great and hotly contested engagements. The marching done, from point to point, was immense. Many regiments, whose movements were extensive, changed places mostly by rail or by steamers, or both. This regiment, on the contrary, had to take it the old way - on foot - and a tedious means of travel they found it to be. A member of the Fifty-seventh, describing these journeyings, says: "We crossed Kentucky three times, and traversed Tennessee six times, marching and countermarching, hither and thither, as though we would never have done. Our tramps altogether would amount to several thousand miles." It might be a profitable labor to trace its movements somewhat in detail. Indianapolis, Louisville, Lebanon, Mumfordsville, Shiloh, Corinth, North Alabama, across Kentucky and Tennessee, and into Mississippi and Alabama, Middle Tennessee, Tullahoma, Perryville, Nashville, traversing much of Tennessee and Kentucky again, and back - through Kentucky and into Tennessee once more. Stone River, Tullahoma, Chattanooga, Knoxville, and then back to Chattanooga, making hundreds of miles of actual marching, much of it in the winter.

The campaign to Knoxville, after Longstreet, was fearful, without suitable food or clothing. One mess of seven had nothing to cook in but two canteens opened. Some of the time they had nothing but bran to make bread of. They lived " off the country," in fact, and a poor and scanty living they got in truth. Many soldiers had marched the shoes from their feet before they got back from that terrible tri ip among the mountains of Tennessee. They started at midnight, and by midnight again had marched forty miles. They took no rations, but took what they could as they went, which living, in truth, was little less than starvation. The army, however, bore it all like heroes, and returned to winter quarters in Georgia and Alabama, to be ready in the spring to nas to Richmond. However, the Fifty-seventh remained behind, and helped to fight the great battles of Franklin and Nashville, chased Hood into Alabama, went again to Bull's Gap, Tenn., and thence to Nashville, till at length it was transferred, in July, 1865, to Levacea, Texas, in which State it remained until the final " muster out" of the regiment, December 14, 1865, at Victoria, with 23 officers and 168 men. The '"* Delaware boys," in the Fifty-seventh, were in Companies C, E, F, G,

Mustered into service at Richmond, Ind., August 19, 1862, with William A. Bickle, Colonel in command. Mustered out July 5, 1866. Officers, 42; men, 962; recruits, 98. Total, 1,102. Officers died, 6; men died, 320; deserted, 61.

Although it was the lot of the Sixty-ninth Regiment to take partin fewer important battles than some other of the regiments did, the work accomplished by it was none the less honorable and useful, and, it may be added, none the less venturous. It was mustered in, as we have seen, on the 19th of August, 1862, Col. William A. Bickle in command, and the next day left for the front. Seven days afterward it took part and did valuable execution in the battle of Richmond, Ky.,the enemy being under the leadership of Gen. Kirby Smith. Though without previous training, the casualties of that day sufficiently attested its courage and fighting qualities. The losses of the regiment were 218 killed and wounded. The regiment was captured, paroled forthwith, and sent to Indianapolis. After some weeks, the captured soldiers were freed from parole by exchange. Leaving Indianapolis on the 27th of November, 1862, they were sent without delay to join the army at Vicksburg. They went dewn the Mississippi with Sheldon's Brigade, Morgan's Division, forming a part of Sherman's wing of Grant's army. The Sixty-ninth took part in the disastrous attack at Chickasaw Bluffs, losing only a few men. This action took place December 27-31, 1862. Sherman went thence to Arkansas Post, capturing the fortress; though defended by a large force, January 11, 1863. They were then stationed at Young's Point, La., the climate of which locality proved to the hapless soldiers more fatal than a great battle. More than one hundred men of that regiment were laid quietly but mournfully away in that far-distant and melancholy spot. In the latter part of February, 1863, the regiment moved to Milliken's Bend. On the 30th of March of the same year, it took the advance in the movement against Vicksburg. Near Round-a-way Bayou, opposite Richmond, La., a rebel force was dislodged. Here, two thousand feet or more of bridging was constructed, and a military road built across the peninsula west of Vicksburg, and over this road the army moved, crossing the Mississippi River at " Hard Times" Landing, on the east bank, and marching directly to Port Gibson. On the Ist of May, 1863, the battle of Thomson's Hill (near Port Gibson), was fought, in which the Sixty-ninth lost seventy-one killed and wounded. Fifteen days afterward (the 16th), the regiment was engaged at Champion Hill, and the day following at Black River Bridge. They then moved to the rear of Vicksburg, taking part in the siege of Vicksburg, as also in the assault on the town, up to May 23, at which time they moved to Black River Bridge, and remained there, holding Johnson in check. All this time, the regiment composed a part of Osterhaus' Division. On the 5th of July, they marched to Jackson and were engaged for six days in the siege of that place. Returning to Vicksburg, August 3, they were sent thence to Port Hudson and afterward to New Orleans. The regiment was with the Teche expedition, and, upon returning, was sent to Algiers, from which point it was ordered to Texas, arriving at Matagorda Bay December 1, 1863. On the 13th of February, 1864, it sailed for Indianola; thence to Matagorda Island. About that time, two officers and twenty men were drowned by the swamping of a boat. In April following, it returned to New Orleans, whence it was ordered to Alexandria, and took part in the fight there, retreating thence with Banks' army to the Mississippi River, and encamping at Morganza till December, 1864. On the 7th of that month, it was sent to Dauphin Island, in Mobile Bay, and, on the 14th, joined Gen. Granger's Pascagoula expedition, moving to Grand Bay, within twenty-two miles of Mobile. The regiment was consolidated into a battalion of four companies, under the command of Lieut. Col. Oran Perry. On the 31st, the battalion embarked for Fort Barancas, Fla., and, on the 14th of March, for Pensacola. March 20, it went with Steele's expedition through Florida and Southern Alabama to Blakely, near Mobile, arriving there on the 1st of April. Afterward, the regiment went to Selma, Ala., and, on the 3d of May, to Mobile, where it remained till it was mustered out, July 5, leaving for home on the 7th, by the way of New Orleans, with 16 officers and 284 men. The members of the regiment took part in a public reception at Indianapolis, July 18, 1865, addressed by Gov. Morton. This regiment has left its dead in eleven States. It took part in the following battles, and engagements of less consequence: Richmond, Kentucky, August 29, 30, 1862; Chickasaw Bluffs, Mississippi, December, 27-31, 1862; Arkansas Post, Arkansas, January 11, 1863; Thomson's Hill, Mississippi, May 1, 1863; Champion Hills, Mississippi, May 16, 1863; Black River Bridge, May 17; siege and assault of Vicksburg, May 18-28; siege of Jackson, Mississippi, July 9-16, 1863; capture of Blakely, Alabama, April 9, 1865; siege of Mobile, March 27 to April 11, 1865. Although the battle record of the Sixty-ninth seems less full than some others, its course of travel extended through eight States: |

Vicksburg, arriving there March 25, doing post duty at that point until the 3d of May following, when, being remounted, it was stationed at various places in Mississippi, moving, on the 22d of May, to Vicksburg, to be mustered out. The regiment was mustered out accordingly, on the 25th of August, 1865, and reached Indianapolis, September 5, where, with other regiments, a public reception was given the following day. A few days later it was finally discharged, and the men sent to their respective homes. At first the regiment was 1,267 strong. On returning, it numbered 386 officers and men. Fifty-seven were lost on the steamer Sultana, in the Mississippi River, by the explosion of a

It was mustered out at Greensboro, North Carolina, on the 31st of August, 1865, and reached Indianapolis, September 10, numbering 33 officers and 532 men, in command of Col. John M. Orr.

Benjamin F. Bush, as Sergeant; James S. Hutchings, Corporal - mustered out as Sergeant; John S. King, Andrew H. McVees, as Corporal; Lemuel Daugherty, mustered out August 31, 1865; Richard Karns, mustered out July 15, 1865.

Mustered in at Indianapolis, April 29, 1864, for three years, with Gilbert M. L. Johnson, Colonel in command. It was mustered out November 28, 1865.

The regiment left Indianapolis for the seat of war the day following that upon which it was mustered into service, the objective point being Huntsville, Ala., as a garrison, reaching that point May 31, 1864. At that point, during the summer and fall of that year, in the meantime skirmishing with prowling bands of rebel cavalry in the vicinity. On the Ist of October, 1864, it held the place against the entire force of the rebel Col. Buford. Companies A, C, D, F, H and I, on the 16th of October, 1864, were ordered to Louisville for cavalry equipment for the regiment. Having executed the order to report to Paducah, forthwith, to repel the force under Gen. Forrest, they returned to Louisville November |. Subsequently, they completed their equipment and

Lavergne to watch the movements of Gen. Hood, at that time advancing on Nashville. They retired upon Murfreesboro, and reported to Gen. Rosecrans, taking part in the battles of Overall's Creek, Wiikinson's Pike, and twelve other skirmishes, with a loss of sixty-five killed and wounded, and two missing.

Companies B, EK, G, K, L and M, dismounted, took part in the battle of Nashville. Immediately afterward, the regiment was reformed, newly armed and wholly re-mounted, and assigned to the Second Brigade, Seventh Division of the Cavalry Corps of the Military Division of the Mississippi, Col. Johnson commanding the brigade. On the 11th of February, 1865, it embarked for New Orleans, . disembarking, however, at Vicksburg, by order of Gen, Canby, for a raid on the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, but the order was countermanded, and the regiment left Vicksburg for New Orleans, in pursuance of the original order, on the 6th of March, 1865. It soon after left New Orleans for Navy Cove, Mobile Bay, assisting in the operations around the city of Mobile. After the capture of the city, the regiment marched with Gen. Grierson 800 miles, through Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi, arriving at Columbus, Miss., May 22, 1865. Thence, they proceeded to Macon, Miss., garrisoning that post and taking charge of sixty miles of railroad, and possession of immense quantities of captured commissary, quartermaster and ordnance stores and ordnance. On the 6th of June the regiment returned to Columbus. Remaining awhile at this point, the regiment went to Vicksburg, and was mustered out on the 18th of November, 1865. It arrived in Indianapolis on the 25th of November, 1865, with 23 officers and 633 men. Having partaken of a sumptuous dinner at the Soldier's Home, it marched to the State House grounds for a public welcome, where addresses were delivered by Gov. Baker, Gen. Bennett, and responses by Gen. Johnson, Lieut. Col. Moore and Capt. Wells.

Its field of operations embraced Tennessee and North Alabama. The movements of this, with the other one-hundred-days regiments, was designed to relieve veterans from garrison and guard duty, and allow them to join their companions in the important campaign of that year. Eight such regiments were formed in Indiana, and numbered from 132 to 139, inclusive; and, as fast as they were organized, they were sent forward to Tennessee and Alabama, by the way of Nashville, and assigned to duty along the various railroads, guarding the lines of com munication for the supply of Sherman's army, then engaged in the Atlanta campaign. They did good service for more than one hundred days, and were then regularly mustered out at Indianapolis.

The One Hundred and Thirty-fourth Regiment perfomed its full share of the duty above designated, and returned with honor to their homes. 'Two companies of this regiment were chiefly recruited from Delaware County. Owing to the fact that many of the members of the later regiments had already seen service, having originally enlisted in the earlier regiments and remained with those regiments for a considerable time, subsequently re-enlisted; hence, it will be noticed that many of the names of persons found in the later regiments have been previously given in the account of those earlier regiments.

Bounties, Relief, Etc

It became painfully apparent very soon after the war began, that pecuniary aid for the relief of the wives and families of the soldiers would be needed. The wages of the volunteers were not enough for the needs of the case, and, moreover, much of the time those wages were greatly in arrears, and often it was difficult or impossible to send the money home when obtained. An act was passed by the Legislature, May 11, 1861, allowing the authorities of counties, cities and towns to appropriate funds for relief as might be needed, and empowering them; at their discretion, to levy a tax to obtain money for such purposes. Under this act, great sums were raised and expended during the war, both for bounty and relief. In many cases, bonds were issued and employed in raising funds, or in payment, for the time, of bounties and otherwise. 'Townships, also, acted in the matter, and large sums were raised by them and applied in the same way. Doubts existing as to the legality of the bonds thus issued, the Legislature, by an act passed March 3, 1865, legalized what counties, cities and towns had done, as also the action which the townships had taken, with the approval of the Board of County Commissioners, in issuing the bonds, etc., for bounty, relief and other like purposes named, and directed a tax to be levied for their payment. Another act was passed March 4, 1865, levying a tax of three mills on the dollar, and one dollar on each poll, during the years 1865 and 1866, for sick soldiers, soldiers' families, ete. .

Various other laws were enacted by the Legislature, showing a liberal and generous spirit, and an earnest and steadfast desire to fulfill the whole duty of the State to the heroic defenders of our imperiled country, and their suffering families.

National Action

6. In many other ways, labor and money were applied to the comfort of the soldiers, as by hospitals, nurses, soldiers' homes, ete. Thus the nation showed, and the soldiers were made to feel, that her constant care was over them, to supply their wants, relieve their necessities, and support their loved ones. Much want and suffering existed, nevertheless; still, great and noble efforts were put forth throughout the whole war to do all that could be done for help and comfort and for relief. The following is an account of the bounties given by the nation:

National Bounties

In the general movement for bounty and relief, the people of Delaware County, by the Commissioners, Township Trustees, City Councils, etc, took a full and abundant share.

In 1873, the Commissioners provided for an equalization of bounty to all three-years men. Thus, under this action, every three-years man from Delaware County has received, or is entitled to receive, from the county as bounty, a sum equal to $100. Under the provisions made in 1872, the men enlisted in 1862 received $75, and the men volunteering in 1861, got $100, and so they all got their equal bounty of $100 each.

Relief

the people at large. A detailed account will be made out at this distance of time, but the amounts, so far as can be obtained, both for bounty and relief, are as follows: a princely sum - showing, while citizens offered themselves willingly in the struggle to maintain the integrity of the nation, how nobly the authorities at home, and the people at large, assumed burdens, and contributed money, ete., for relief and support to the families of those who were absent in the service of the country, or who had died in her throughout the State for bounty and relief, is computed to have been $2(0,250,640.68. That sum has probably been largely increased since that date. Delaware County, for instance, has expended about $80,000 for bounty money since 1872, under the action for equalization.

Such struggles put forth, such expenditures incurred, such sacrifices undergone on behalf of the unity and permanence of our government, indicate clearly that the noble utterance of Gen. Jackson in the days of nullification - " The National Union, it must and shall be preserved " - remains-the steadfast and unalterable conviction of the American people; and in that grand, that sublime sentiment, the hearts of the patriotic citizens of Delaware County are settled and grounded with a firm and steadfast determination that can never be shaken.

Home Work

HOME WORK. 3 While the volunteer soldiers had gone to the front or on garrison duty, the people at home were active in every practicable way. The spirit of the whole loyal people was on fire. Hopes rose and fell, anxiety | grew almost into agony, but, over and through it all, the purpose lived - and triumphed - " The Nation shall be saved."

_ witted ladies could invent, the hearts and the pockets of the people, _ citizens and strangers as well, were attacked, and right splendidly did positions under the national administration. Their adventures were amusing. away in the old State Fair Grounds, called afterward "Camp Morton."

'"' where?' The volunteers were flocking in by hundreds, from all directions; and in one more day 2,400 men were in camp. And at the end of seven days, more than 12,000 men were tendered. The company they respond to the earnest appeals thus persistently made. At one time, by a single effort, $500 were collected and sent to Mr. Hannaman, at Indianapolis, President of the Indiana Sanitary Commission. At one fair, held by the " Ladies' Aid Society," and continued through from Muncie telegraphed home that they had no beds, and that night - and the next day an abundant supply was collected and sent on; enough, | called the Sixth, because there had been five regiments from Indiana in the Mexican war. In six days (April 20-25), seventy companies were organized and mustered into service. Six three-months regiments (6 -

Among the very many ladies prominently active in the work thus carried on in Muncie, a few, selected from the. masses operating in this field, might with propriety be mentioned, though the whole people seemed to be moved as by a common impulse, to excel in forwarding the noble enterprise. We mention - not aiming in the least to underestimate the services of others - the names of Mrs. John W. Burson, Mrs. Judge March, Mrs. William B. Kline, Mrs. Carlton E. Shipley, companies were formed into the Sixteenth Regiment (one year) May 11. These seventy companies were mustered into the service as follows: April 20, one company from Marion County, Company K, of the Tenth Regiment; April 21, five companies, viz., from Dearborn County, one; from Wayne County, two; from Delaware County, one; from Vigo County, one. April 22, nineteen companies; April 23, twenty companies; April 24, fourteen companies; April 25, eleven companies.

ures to raise means for the relief of the needy. On the 14th of July, 1861, the Fourteenth Regiment, the first three-yéars regiment organized, left Indianapolis for the seat of war in Western Virginia. to Muncie that the regiment would pass on the cars about noon. as thought, the citizens gathered impromptu, with baskets of bread and pies and cakes and fruit and coffee, and when that heavily laden train came thundering along the track to the Muncie depot, as the eager soldiers gazed forth their astonished eyes beheld that grand supply, and thorough justice did the hungry crowd execute upon the mass of provisions before them, and with glad hearts they passed on in their appointed way. Col. Kimball, their gallant leader, was greatly pleased at this touching token of respect and regard manifested by our citizens toward the men under his, command, and made a fitting speech in acknowledgment at the time, and also in a neat and well-written letter thanks to the citizens of Muncie for their munificent generosity. From that time onward, to feed the soldiers as they passed to and fro became a constant practice by our loyal citizens. Hasty notice had only to be would muster with neither Colonel nor Captain in command, but every man (and woman, too), at his own sweet will, and the depot was the place of rendezvous; and the locomotive had to stand and wait till that hungry crowd of soldiers had obtained their fill. And many a hardy volunteer looks back to the hour in which his rolling train passed our goodly town, as a pleasant grateful memory in the history of his past life, a bright spot in the darkness that sometimes obscured his vision.

In the early part of the war, before organization had done its work, everything depended upon private, voluntary action, and right nobly did the citizens, male and female, take hold of the work. Supplies of food and clothing and money were raised and distributed. A " Ladies' Aid Society" was formed, and its operations were con-

Mrs. James A. Maddy, Mrs. John Marsh, Mrs. G. W. Spilker and numerous others entitled to equal credit for their share in the work. The presentation of these names, therefore, is not for the purpose of excluding others no doubt as prominently associated with the movement, but merely as instances now remembered, of the activity which everywhere

Draft

No draft was ever called for in Delaware County, except that in 1862, four townships seemed to have a deficiency of 24 men. Jay, at the time was short 103; Randolph, 49; Henry, 160; Wayne, 64; Allen, ov7; Grant, 128; Madison, 177, etc. The people of Muncie, supposing their township was liable to the draft, raised by voluntary subscriptions, $8,000 or more, which was expended in hiring persons to enlist so as to avoid the draft. Perhaps twenty-five persons were thus hired to enlist. More careful examination showed that no quota was lacking from Muncie, even before these men had been hired. By this action, and by subsequent volunteers, no future draft was needed.

So ardent and patriotic was the spirit that prevailed, several gentlemen who were too old for the service, and some ladies also, hired persons to go as soldiers. One man sent two in that way, paying them $500 each. Indeed, we are astonished in looking back to those eventful days, at the vigorous and ceaseless enthusiasm which fired the pub- _ lie mind. Love for the cause, and overwhelming anxiety for its tri- _ umphant success, made labor easy and carried the people forward in an activity of enterprise and sacrifice without a parallel in our history, or equaled only, if at all, by that of the Revolutionary struggle.

Prison Life

This historical sketch of military affairs in connection with Delaware County could hardly be considered complete without reference being made to the subject of prison life.

Doubtless, many of the soldiers from Delaware County were, during the progress*of the war, captured by the foe and condemned to pass weary weeks and months inside those fearful prison inclosures. Volumes might well be written upon that phase of soldier life, and is a subject, it may with propriety be said, that should by no means be the methods of prison treatment, as practiced by the emissaries of the late rebellion and experienced by our soldier boys, maintained among our people, that generations to come may know what their fathers endured in this regard to uphold the integrity of the nation, and to what extremes even those in rebellion against the Government permitted themselves to be led in the spirit of revenge, to accomplish by inhuman cruelty what the resort to arms had failed to secure. But to write such a history of prison life and its experiences is not at this time our intention. The purpose at present is simply to show Delaware County soldiers bore the hardships of confinement, how they fared and languished and cael away in a Te sadness at the long delay of the wished-for time when an exchange could be effected and they could reach again the Union lines.

The subject could hardly be better presented than by giving in part the experiences of one citizen of this county, who spent about twenty months in Southern prisons. Reference is here made to George W. Greene, Esq., formerly Clerk of the Circuit Court of Delaware County, and for a time during the war, Captain of Company E, in the Nine teenth Regiment of Indiana Volunteer Infantry. Additional interest was mustered in July 29, 1861, as First Lieutenant in Company E of that regiment. Hard service had been our lot during the progress of the conflict. Lewinsville, Gainesville, Manassas Junction, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Fitzhugh's Crossing and perhaps others. The Nineteenth Regiment was, during the morning of July 1, 1863, on the field, near the old town of Gettysburg, Penn., awaiting orders to lead the attack upon the rebel hosts that had presumed to invade the North, in what has since become the world-renowned battle of Gettysburg. The regiment belonged to what was called the [ron Brigade, being a part of the First Army Corps under command of Gen. Reynolds. The brigade was composed of the Twenty-fourth Michigan, the Second, Sixth and Seventh Wisconsin and the Nineteenth Indiana, all of which, like the Nineteenth Indiana, had seen much severe service. |

"Gen. Reynolds was understood to have received orders to begin the attack upon the rebel lines, in the meantime engaging their attention until the rest of the army could come up. We were on picket duty, and Gen. Reynolds was examining the ground to learn how to conduct the movement assigned him, when he was killed by a shot from the enemy's sharp-shooters. Gen. Doubleday succeeded to the command of the corps.

But they would persist. Attempts were made, one after another, to get loose from their clutches. Some few sueceeded, but, for the most part, it was 'no go.' They sent us hither and yon over their wretched confederacy, still keeping us 'in limbo,' and, for twenty long and weary and despairing months, did those psuedo-friends and cruel keepers retain their grasp upon our unwilling persons, and 'orub,' and with a floor to sleep on, 'free 'without any thanks,' for surely they got no thanks from us. As for clothing, they let us retain what we had on, and that suit was all I had for the whole time, except one though they were long past decent wearing apparel. The shoes still hung in shreds, the shirt had been washed away clear above the elbows, and the coat and pants - well, why should I speak evil of those dear, faithful old friends, for surely, they did their very best.

Five times our line was re-formed, retreated to Gettysburg. _Meanwhile, the enemy were taking possession of the town, and, as we .came in, they speedily took possession of us, and we were - in short - we were prisoners. Sending us to the rear, disarmed and under guard, as we had done by their men in the morning - the great battle went furiously on. For two more days continued the dreadful contest and the carnage, while we were compelled to lie idle and helpless witnesses of the fight, taking no part therein. A con-

'We had also soup, made of rice and bacon or beef, for awhile. The soup we could not bear, and we protested against it so vigorously that, after two or three weeks, the rice and the meat were furnished raw, and stoves were put into the room on the ground floor, when the prisoners divided themselves into messes of fifteen or twenty each, each The rice was about two spoonfuls per man, and the meat was equal to a slice for each about as large as two fingers. The rice and the meat were boiled into soup.

No rations were given us until, per- | haps, the second day, so that we were without food for full four days, and you may well believe we were a ravenous horde. But what use? We might as well have been quiet, for 'clamoring' did no good. We were a hungry multitude marching on to 'Libby' and weary months of imprisonment and semi-starvation.

"We entered that detestable old prison July 18, 1863, were searched, stripped of money, blankets, etc., and compelled to settle down to live in earnest in that unwelcome domicile, to us both new and strange. Luckily for myself, I had only $10 when captured, and that I had spent on the way to Richmond, so the 'Johnnies' were none the richer for

"For lodging at night, the men lay on the floor in tiers. A row of large posts stood through the center of each room for the support of the floor above. On either side of each row of posts in every room, two layers of sleeping men were arranged foot to foot, with a kind of alley between the rows of feet wide enough to walk up and down the room. This was and vexation of caring for, washing, etc., such a vast. amount of bedclothing as would have been required to furnish each man, or every couple, with beds after the modern style for people - out of jail. So it was vastly better for us that we had none (if you choose to think so).

The only extensive scheme that ever did succeed in any consid- soup had been made in the days of the 'mess' system, and in these kettles water was heated for washing or any other needful purpose. Washing clothes, ete., was done mostly in buckets. There was some soap, not enough, however, but what we had was better than'none. A negro came in every day and swept the floor of the rooms, which kept them reasonably clean. No scrubbing was ever done. But, so ' little dirt was brought in from outside, that scrubbing was not badly needed.

"On the cold New Year's (January, 1864), the hydrants froze up, and, for a day or two, the prisoners were allowed to go down to the basin (outside the prison and not far off), under guard, to get their supply of water. We had only water furnished us to drink, though sometimes some coffee came 'through the lines,' and sometimes money would ever money (gold or greenbacks), was sent to the prisoners through the rebel authorities, or, if they found any in boxes, etc., sent us, the 'rebs' would keep the good money and give us Confederate bills - four to one. Once in a great while, some man would get some money tucked away in some odd place to keep the 'rebs' from finding it.. In such cases, a better bargain could bé made with the 'Northern money.' A man who had money could get what he wished by paying pretty high for it. 'As to news, an old negro brought us 'Southern' papers every morning, and some would buy them, and, of course, the news would be read be a question. It wason the rebel side, of course, and how much might be true it was impossible to tell. But the reading of the papers from time to time gaye us something to talk about at any rate, and that did us good, because it kept us busy for the time.

"There were at first, after our arrival, seven or eight hundred pris oners; and, after Chickamauga, more than a thousand. At first,'one of the lower rooms was used for a hospital; but, afterward, the sick were taken somewhere outside, I don't know where. I had the good fortune to keep in sound health, and, of course, saw nothing of the hospital, For a time, each prisoner had to stay in his own particular room; but, afterward, one could go anywhere in the building. At first, they kept account of the men by standing them in line, two by two, and counting the pairs - every room by itself. But that would not do, and then they would send the men all to one room at one side of the building, and pass them through one door back to the other rooms, counting as they went through that door. This was an improvement for them, doubtless, as nothing was required, only to know how to count, and most people can do that, you know. For. the prisoners, it worked well also. Prisoners escaped once in awhile by some means or other. Some door panels had been loosened so that they could be taken out when desitable; and when anybody had got out, or when any persons were engaged in working in the 'tunnel,' as was sometimes the case, we could manage to pass men enough through these panels so as to have them come round and be recounted, to keep the number all right. It is said some actually did get out of Libby. How the thing was done it is not easy to tell. Several escaped in some way through the windows, and the guards were accused of haying been bribed to allow the outgoing ' Yank' to get safe away. By and by the windows were fastened up with strong bars on the wside, so as to make it impossible to get through them at all. It is a curious fact, also, that one day, while this work was going on, one of our men took up a bar of iron upon his shoulder, walked boldly out of Libby, passed the guards, into the streets, and away into the city, and two or three days elapsed before he was discovered and brought back to his old quarters. Many plans were conceived for getting out of Libby, but, mostly, they were failures The guard would, somehow, discover the scheme, and our game would be _ blocked, or something else would happen to break it up.
