The regiment went first to Western Virginia, encamping on Cheat Mountain summit for winter quarters, participating in the battle of Greenbrier October 3, and of Alleghany December 13, 1861. January 9, 1862, they marched to Fetterman, Va., remaining till February 19, 1862. They were then sent by rail to Cincinnati and to Nashville by steamer, joining Gen. Buell's army. March 29, 1862, the regiment marched to Tennessee River, taking part in the second day's fight at Shiloh, April 7, 1862; thence to Coriuth, Miss. They marched thence by Athens, Ala., and Franklin and Murfreesboro, Tenn., to Nashville; thence to Bowling Green and back to Nashville; thence by Louisville and in pursuit of Bragg to Perryville; thence by Danville and Crab Orchard to the Wildcat Mountains and to Nashville. In these marches, the Ninth Regiment was engaged in the battles of Perryville, Danville and Wildcat Mountain. They afterward marched to Murfreesboro and were at Stone River, Tenn., marching thence over the Cumberland Mountains and the Tennessee River to Chattanooga. They fought at Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain and Mission Ridge, thence across the Cumberland range again to Bridgeport and to Whiteside, Tenn. Here the soldiers of the Ninth re-enlisted as veterans, December 12, 18638, taking veteran furlough, and left Valparaiso, Ind., for the front February 21, 1864, passing through Indianapolis, Louisville, Nashville and Chattanooga to Cleveland, Tenn. The regiment went through the entire Atlanta campaign, during the spring and summer of 1864, marching through Ringgold, Daltun, Resaca, Kingston, Cassville, around Allatoona Mountain, to Ackworth, Big Shanty and Marietta and in the flank movement around Atlanta; through Jonesboro and Lovejoy, and back to Atlanta. In this campaign of months of solid fighting, the soldiers of the Ninth fought at Taylor's Ridge, Buzzard's Roost, Dalton, Resaca, Cassville, Dallas, New Hope Church, Kenesaw, Marietta, Peach Tree Creek, Atlanta. Jonesboro and Lovejoy. They pursued Hood to Dalton, marching thence to Athens and to Pulaski, Tenn., arriving November 1, 1864.

They then passed into East Tennessee, beyond. Bull's Gap, and back to Nashville, reaching it May 25, 1865. It was sent thence to New Orleans and to Texas, remaining as part of Sheridan's Army of Occupation till September, 1865, when it was mustered out of service, in Texas, and the soldiers were sent to their respective homes.

The Ninth Regiment, it will be noticed, did their full share of fighting, being engaged in twenty-six battles, to say nothing of skirmishes, etc. Many of them were chief among the engagements of the war - Shiloh, Perryville, Stone River, Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge, Resaca, Kenesaw, Franklin, Nashville - ten large battles make a strong showing for the record of the Ninth Indiana.

Returning to their flag, the regiment was with Gen. Seymour at Jacksonville in Florida until April 17, 1864, and was then transferred to Gen. Butler's army in front of Richmond, arriving at Bermuda Hundred May 5, 1864.

They were in the actions of Wathal Junction May 7, Chester Station May 16, and Foster's Farm May 20, losing in the three engagements sbout two hundred men. They were at Cold Harbor June 3, and in various actions with the Potomac Army until June 12, and then returned to Bermuda Hundred, aiding in the assault on Petersburg June 16. The non-veterans left the regiment June 19, going to Indianapolis to be mustered out.

The regiment was at the fatal charge on Petersburg after the explosion of the mine July 30, 1864, as also at Strawberry Plains, Chapin's Bluff and the attack on the rebel works before Richmond October 10, 1864. They were ordered to New York to assist in preserving order at the elections in November, and returned December 3 to join the expedition against Fort Fisher.

When the non-veterans left, the regiment was formed at first into a battalion of five companies, but was afterward made a full regiment by adding five companies of drafted men.

The Seventeenth was an exceedingly energetic regiment, and performed efficient and thorough service, which helped greatly in conquering the rebellion and compelling a peace; for all which and for their heroism, and for their great achievements, all honor to the gallant Seventeenth Indiana.

Nineteenth Indiana Infantry, Three Years

The Nineteenth had not nearly so large a field of operations as some others, spending its whole four years in the Army of the Potomac But what it lackedin extent of territory was made up in severity of service. In sickness, in loss by killed and wounded and prisoners and death by disease, the sufferings and hardships of the Old Nineteenth were wonderful. Its first experience of battle was at Lewinsville, but by no means its last. At Gainesville and Manassas Junction. South Mountain and Antietam, and the terribly fatal attack on Fredericksburg, at Gettysburg and the fearful Wilderness campaign, ever in the post of danger and of death, the brigade composed in part of the Nineteenth, long before the battle of Gettysburg had richly earned the name by which it was known throughout the Potomac Army- - " The Iron Brigade."

Leaving Indianapolis August 5, 1861, it joined forthwith the Potomac Army August 9.. At Lewinsville they were engaged with a slight loss of three killed and wounded, and three prisoners. They were in the engagement at Falls Church September 28, and wintered at Fort Craig. on Arlington Heights. The regiment spent the spring and summer until August in reconnoissances in Virginia, marching to Fredericksburg, to the Shenandoah Valley, to Warrenton, to Fredericksburg again, Spottsylvania and Cedar Mountain. At Gainesville, their loss was heavy - 187 killed and wounded, and thirty-three missing.

Maj. Isaac M. May fell in that action. They were engaged at Manassas Junction, and not long after at South Mountain September 14, 1862, with forty killed aud wounded, and again in the world-renowned conflict of Antietam September 17, 1862, with fearful hardships and heavy loss, their Lieutenant Colonel, Alois O. Bachman, being killed on that awful field of blood and slaughter.

They marched to Gettysburg, arriving on the morning of July 1, 1863. A large part of the regiment was captured in that battle, and the poor sufferers spent weary months in those dens of unspeakable horror, the rebel prison-pens. The "Iron Brigade" opened the battle of Gettysburg about 9 o'clock in the morning of July 1, the Nineteenth being the regiment first eng : In the campaign of the Wilderness, during the summer of 1864, the Nineteenth was conspicuous in the sanguinary contest of that memorable period.

During the winter of 1864, a portion of the remnant of the Nineteenth re-enlisted as veterans. Col. Williams was killed in the Wilderness, and Lieut. Col. Lindley took his place.

The old regiments had become so reduced that a consolidation was effected in the fall of 1864. The Fourteenth and Twentieth were united us the new Twentieth. The Seventh and the Nineteenth were joined as the new Nineteenth September 23, 1864.

The two new regiments were again consolidated as the Twentieth October 18, 1864; with Col. William Orr as the commanding officer. The Twentieth was mustered out at Louisville July 12, 1865.

Great numbers were killed and wounded, and a far greater number died of disease, and still more were discharged for disability. Four regiments were consolidated into one, and only a meager few remained even then to recount the story of their achievements. Out of 5,801 men who had belonged to the four regiments, there were: present at the final muster-out of the Twentieth Regiment barely twenty-three officers and 390 men. The soul shudders at the incalculable sacrifice of health and life, and the unspeakable burden of human suffering wrapped up in the bare statement of statistics given above - 5,801 men reduced to 410. Alas! alas! how little knew or cared the reckless men who struck the fatal blow that opened the mortal strife what a bitter fountain of poisonous, deadly waters was by their fratricidal hand unsealed to pour its fatal flood widespread over the horror-stricken land!

Engagements Of The Nineteenth Indiana

Members of the Nineteenth Indiana credited to Randolph County: Company C, Ninteenth Indiana Infantry - Captain, Robert W. Hamilton; resigned October 23, 1863. :

Issac N. Frazee, appointed Sergeant of the One Hundredth, Company H, promoted Second Lieutenant; First Lieutenant; Captain; mustered out with regiment.

Twentieth Indiana, Three Years Statistics

The first duty performed by the Twentieth was to guard the Northern Central Railroad in Maryland. September 24, 1861, it was sent to Hatteras Inlet, N. C. Remaining there till November 9, they returned to Fortress Monroe. Lying in camp there till March, 1862, the Twentieth moved to Newport News, taking part in the conflict between the steamers Merrimac, Cumberland and Congress, keeping the rebel captors from taking possession of the Congress after she had struck her colors. May 10, 1862, it assisted in capturing Norfolk, joining afterward the Potomac Army in the Peninsula. On the 24th of June, it was severely engaged at the "Orchards," with a loss of officers and men. The regiment was in all the battles of the "Seven Days" except Glendale, or Frazier's Farm, losing heavily. Forming part of the flank guard of the Potomac Army across the Peninsula to Yorktown, they were sent to Alexandria, to the Rappshannock and to Manasgas Plains, taking part in the battle there August 29, 1862, losing Col. Brown early in the action. September 1, the regiment was in the battle of Chantilly, moving thence to Arlington Heights. October 11, they undertook to intercept Stuart's cavalry raid, but were too late by ten hours. They were at Fredericksburg December 13, and took a chief part at Chancellorsville. They captured the Twenty-third Georgia, stronger in numbers than themselves. They moved to Gettysburg in time for the second day of that great battle, losing there the officer in command, the gallant Col. Wheeler. They joined in the pursuit of Lee to Manassas Gap, and were ordered to New York City to prevent threatened draft riots in that metropolis. The regiment returned to the Potomac; was engaged at Locust Grove and Mine Run, and went into winter quarters. January 1, 1864, the regiment veteranized and the veterans took their home furlough.

They crossed the Rapidan with Grant's army, and helped fight the battles of the Wilderness, Todd's Tavern, Po River, Spottsylvania, Tollopotanni and Cold Harbor. There the Fourteenth and the Twentieth were consolidated. They then crossed the James to the battles of Deep Bottom and Strawberry Plains, and then to the trenches before Petersburg, under fire every day, losing many men. Here Lieut. Col. George W. Mikel lost his life. October 18, 1864, the consolidated Nineteenth was united with the new Twentieth, taking the name of the Twentieth, and the commanding officer, Col. James Orr, from the

Nineteenth. The new regiment lay in the works before Petersburg until spring, except in the advance on the Weldon Railroad, It took part at Preble's House and Hatcher's Run, and in all the engagements on the left from Hatcher's Run to the capture of Richmond. The last engagement by the regiment with the enemy was at Clover Hill, April 9, 1865.

The regiment shortly moved to Washington, and thence to Louisville, Ky., June 14, 1865. The men were mustered out July 12, 1865, numbering twenty-three officers and 390 men.

Hatteras Bank, Merrimac and Congress, Fair Oaks, Orchards, Gaines' Mill, Malvern Hil!, Manassas Plains, Chantilly, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Manassas Gap, Locust Grove, Mine Run, Wilderness, Todd's Tavern, Fo River, Spottsylvania, Tollopotanni and Cold Harbor; assault and siege of Petersburg, Weldon Railroad, Preble's House, Hatcher's Run, Clover Hill.

In comparing different regiments, it would be difficult to tell which one endured the hardest lot in the prosecution of the great civil war. In fact, comparisons are needless. The history of the whole war presents a wonderful and perhaps unprecedented record. The wars of Napoleon, or of Alexander the Great, of the Russian Czar Peter, of Frederick the Great, of Russia and the allies in the Crimean war, of the Austrians against the French, or of the French against the Prussians, scarcely rival our great North American war. War is terrible anywhere; but for long marches, bravery of attack, heroism of endurance and perseverance in execution, the war for the Union stands high in the annals of the world.

William Orr, formerly Lieutenant Colonel of the Nineteenth, the final consolidation occurring October 18, 1864. The new Twentieth remained in the works near Petersburg until the spring of 1865, except that they were sent on expeditions to cut the railroad communications of the enemy. Toward the Weldon Railroad it advanced to Stony Creek, engaging in the actions at Preble's House and Hatcher's Run. Thence to the fall of Richmond it was in the advance division of the Second Corps, and in all the battles till the surrender of Lee, the last being that at Clover Hill, Va., April 9, 1865. They marched to Washington City, moving thence to Louisville, arriving June 21, 1865, and being mustered out July 12, 1865, with 390 men and twenty-three officers.

In November, 1865, the regiment was ordered to rendezvous at Port Hudson. December 24, 1865, the first grand parade of the whole regiment of twelve batteries took place; and January 10, 1866, at Baton Rouge, La, the men were mustered out of service, the regiment containing some nine hundred and thirty men. Two hundred and forty of them came to Indianapolis for discharge, but seven hundred preferred to remain and be discharged in Louisiana, and it was so done.

The Twenty-first traveled, during its term of service, more than fifteen thousand miles, and was remarkably successful as to preserving the health and general efficiency of its members.

Twenty-Seventh Indiana Infantry, Three Yrars

The regiment left for active service September 15, 1861, only three days after their muster-in, and were soon transferred to Banks' army of the Shenandoah Valley. During the winter, they were encamped near Frederick City, Md., in huts built for the purpose.

They were engaged at Front Royal May 23, 1862, retreating toward Winchester, and fighting in the fierce battle at that place May 25. Gordon's brigade, to which the Twenty-seventh belonged, was assaulted by twenty-eight rebel regiments. The brigade withstood the attack for three and a half hours, and repulsed it; but the force of the rebel army was so great that the Union troops were finally defeated. The regiment crossed the Potomac at Williamsport May 26, 1862, and, not long afterward, it marched back into the valley, and to Culpeper Court House, joining Pope's army, of Virginia. August 9, they were engaged at Cedar Mountain, as also at Antietam September 17, 1862, sustaining a heavy loss. After Antietam, they picketed the Potomac from Harper's Ferry to Opequan Creek, and lay, during the winter, near Fairfax and Stafford Court Houses. In the spring, the regiment crossed ,the Rappahannock and fought in the great battle of Chancellorsville, suffering great losses. It pursued Lee northward, and marched with the Twelfth Corps to Gettysburg, taking a prominent part in that great contest, and joining the pursuit of Lee to the Potomac.

In September, they were sent to the West with the Twelfth Corps, but joined the Twentieth, and were stationed at Tullahoma, Tenn., until spring. Some of the men re-enlisted January 24, 1864, and were furloughed home, coming back in time for Sherman's-advance upon Atlanta. At Resava, the regiment defeated the Thirty-second and Thirty-eighth Alabama, taking about one hundred prisoners, including the Colonel of the Thirty-

The Thirty-fourth Regiment was employed on difficult, laborious service of many kinds. At the siege of New Madrid, Mo., they helped to clear a passage through a forest covered with water, for the guns, cutting down many of the trees several feet under the surface of the water.

They were at work for two weeks clearing the Yazoo Pass of the heavy timber felled by the rebels into the stream. They helped tv build the bridges for the passage of Grant's army from Milliken's Bend to below Vicksburg.

They were everywhere an active, hardy, reliable body of men, a faithful, energetic, thoroughgoing regiment. The number of re-enlisted veterans from this regiment was greater than any other except two, viz., the Thirty-third and the First Heavy Artillery, and it had the greatest proportion of veterans of any regiment in the field.

The Fifty-fourth Regiment (one year service) moved from Indianapolis December 9, 1862, about three weeks after their muster-in, to Memphis, and was assigned to the Thirteenth Army Corps. December 20, 1862, it embarked with Gen. Sherman's army for Vicksburg, and reached Yazoo River December 26, 1862, taking part in the engagements at Chickasaw Bluffs, losing 264 killed, wounded and missing. After the capture of Arkansas Post, it moved to Young's Point and Milliken's Bend, and, being assigned to Osterhaus' division, helped to lead the advance against Vicksburg. They were at the battle of Thompson's Hill (Port Gibson); were placed as garrison for Fort Raymond; escorted prisoners to Yazoo River and to Memphis; returned to the siege of Vicksburg; advanced to Jackson, and helped to capture that place.

Soon after, they were taken to New Orleans, going with the expedition up Teche River to Opelousas and Vermillionville. They were mustered out at New Orleans, December 8, 1863, and returned to their Northern homes.

Twenty-seven of the forty-five officers continued through the whole term of service, being mustered out with the regiment: eleven resigned, one deglined and four died - two of wounds and two of disease.

The regiment was mustered in at Indianapolis June 16, 1862, John R. Mahan, Colonel. Mnustered out at Indianapolis at the expiration of the term of service. Duties performed, guarded prisoners at Camp Morton, and marched into Kentucky to assist in repelling the incursion of Kirby Smith.

Probably a large number of Randolph men were enlisted in Company F of the Fifty-fifth Regiment, but the places of residence are not given and the men cannot be designated. Officers, 36; men, 6038; recruits, 19; died, 4; no deserters; unaccounted for, 19; total, 658. The men in Company F, perhaps from Randolph County, are as follows:

Mustered in at Richmond November 18, 1861; Colonel, J. W. T. McMullen. Re-enlisted as veterans in Hast: Tennessee January 1, 1864. Veteran furlough March and April, 1864. Mustered out at Victoria, Texas, December 14, 1865. Reached Indianapolis January 1, 1866, 23 officers and 168 men under Col. John 8S. McGraw. Officers, 50; men, 923; recruits, 464; veterans, 215; died, 267; deserters, 54; unaccounted for, 24; total, 1,652.

The Fifty-seventh was mustered into service at Richmond November 18, 1861. Moving to Indianapolis and remaining till December 13, it reported to Gen. Buell at Louisville; thence the regiment was ordered to Bardstown to join the Army of the Ohio, Sixth Division; soon it was moved to Lebanon, then to Munfordville by rail and to Nashville on foot, arriving in March. March 21, the Army of the Ohio set out from Nashville to join Gen Grant. Theregiment arrived only on the afternooi of April 7, the second day of the battle, but engaged immediately, losing lightly. It remained through the siege of Corinth, and then marched into North Alabama, and about the middle of July, to Central Tennessee again, remaining near

Tullahoma and McMinnville till September 1. Bragg's attempt on Louisville aroused fresh activity, our troops were ahead and Bragg fell back to be pursued through Kentucky and defeated at Perryville. The Fifty-seventh took part in all this work, and marched again to Nashville. Although the Fifty-seventh had been in few great battles, yet its work was severe; guarding trains, foraging, skirmishing, kept the regiment busy and produced much hardship.

At Stone River a loss was suffered of seventy-five out of 250 engaged. Col. Hines and Lieut. Col. Lennard were both seriously wounded. Until the spring of 1863, they were encamped near Murfreesboro, scouting, foraging, picketing, skirmishing and drilling severely and constantly. Before the capture of Chattanooga and the battle of Chickamauga, the Fifty-seventh was north of the Tennessee, but when the rebels left the town, the brigade to which they belonged took possession, and the regiment was selected as Provost Guard. They were relieved in time to take a prominent part at Mission Ridge.

After Chickamauga, the Fifty-seventh was assigned to Sheridan's Division and continued so to the end. That division went into East Tennessee against Longstreet for the relief of Knoxville. That winter campaign among the mountains of Kast Tennessee can hardly be equaled inthe annals of the war. The army went stripped of baggage into the fight around Chattanooga, and marched forthwith from the pursuit of the foe, starting on their perilous journey of hundreds of miles with no preparation and scanty supplies. One mess of seven in one of the regiments had nothing to cook on but two old canteens, torn open and flattened out as a sort of pan. But it mattered little, as they had almost nothing to cook. They had to depend on the country and a poor show they found it. Cattle indeed were somewhat plentiful, and the beef supply was pretty good; but breadstuffs were scarcely attainable at all. In some cases, wheat bran was their only resource. And before the army returned to their comrades in Northern Alabama, many had marched their shoes off and nearly their clothes as well. But they had done what they had undertaken - cleared out Longstreet and relieved Knoxville; and the brave loyalists of that mountain country and the "Union" boys felt happy. As soon as they reached the main body of the army, abundant supplies were obtained.

January 1, 1864, the regiment veteranized almost to a man. Their veteran furlough was postponed till March, and from that they returned just in time for Sherman's advance upon Atlanta. In all that wondrous campaign, the Fifty-seventh was unwearied in their exertions to push the rebels to their utmost. At Rocky Face Ridge, Adairsville and New Hope, in the deadly struggles around Kenesaw, this regiment was among the bravest, and lost many officers and men.

After Atlanta, the Fifty-seventh was dispatched northward against Hood and made a part of Thomas' heroic army at Franklin and Nashville. When Hood's forces had been dispersed, this regiment camped at Huntsville for several months, moving to Bull's Gap, in East Tennessee, in April, 1865. After moving to Nashville in April and remaining there till July, they were transferred to Texas, and, on the 14th of December, 1865, were mustered out of service at Victoria, Texas, reaching Indianapolis January 1, 1866, with 23 officers and 168 men.

* The Fifty-seventh has seen much arduous service; its losses in battle have been heavy and its marches have been especially und exceedingly severe, having crossed the entire breadth of Kentucky three times 'and of Tennessee six times, It has behaved with great gallantry on every occasion, and has achieved an enviable record and an honorable fame."'

Their officers were excellent men and thorough soldiers, and the regiment proved itself worthy of such commanders. Cols. McMullen, Hines, Lennard and Blanche have been seldom equaled and still more rarely excelled.

Officers, 42; men, 960; recruits, 98; died, 326; deserters, 61; unaccounted for, 21; total, 1,100.

The Sixty-ninth Regiment was hurried into the field, leaving the very next day, August 20, for Lexington and Richmond, Ky., and fought in the battle there, August 30, 1862, with a heavy loss of 218 killed and wounded, being finally captured in a body and paroled onthe field. They were sent to parole camp at Indianapolis, but were exchanged in a few weeks, and, on the 27th of November, 1862, the regiment was sent to Memphis and down the river with Sherman to Vicksburg. They were in the battle and repulse at Chickasaw Bluffs, behind Vicksburg, losing slightly. They helped to capture Arkansas Post and camped at Young's Point, losing over 100 men by disease at that deadly spot.

: March 30, 1863, the Sixty-ninth led the advance against Vicksburg. At Richmond, La., they built 2,000 feet of bridging in three days and the army moved across the peninsula in front of Vicksburg. April 30, the advance crossed at. Hard Times Landing, and the battle of Port Gibson was fought the next day, the Sixty-ninth losing seventy-one in killed and wounded. May 16 they were at Champion Hills and May 17 at Black River Bridge; in the siege of Vicksburg to May 22, and at Black River Bridge during the rest of the siege. The Sixtyninth was in Osterhaus' division, which uniformly led the advance in the operations east of the Mississippi before Vicksburg was invested.

The Sixty-ninth was in the siege of Jackson. August 3 they were sent to Port Hudson and afterward to New Orleans, to Berwick City and the Teche country, returning to Algiers and embarking in November for Texas. Matagorda Bay was reached December 1, 1863. The regiment sailed for Indianola February 18, 1864, and came back to Matagorda Island March 13, suffering a loss of two officers and twenty men by the swamping of a boat.

They left Texas for New Orleans in April, and marched thence to Alexandria, engaging in the fight at that place and joining in Banks' retreat to Alexandria. They encamped at Morganza until December, 1864, making various expeditions from that place. December 7, 1864, it was sent to Mobile Bay, and, on the 14th, joimed the Pascagoula expedition led by Gen. Granger.

January 22, 1865, a consolidation was effected into a battalion with four companies, with Oran Perry for commander. January 31, the battalion embarked for Barrancas, Fla., and thence, March 14, went to Pensacola. March 20, they moved with Steele's expedition through to Florida and Southern Alabama, arriving in the rear of Blakely April 1, 1865. The Sixtyninth fought in the attack on Blakely, April 9. and were sent to guard prisoners from Blakely to Ship Island. . They returned to Blakely and marched to Selma. May 3, they were ordered to Mobile for Texas, but remained at Mobile.

They were mustered out at Mobile July 5, 1865, and, with 16 officers and 284 men, reached Indianapolis, and after a public reception, July 18, 1865, the members of the battalion were discharged and joyfully dispersed to their homes.

The Sixty-ninth left its dead in eleven States, and its services, though not so prominent as were those of some others, were severe, and, in many cases, attended with great hardships and suffering. Its death list was very large. Only five regiments have a greater one, and the per cent of deaths in the Sixty-ninth is greater than that in any other, as will appear by the following figures:

The Sixty-ninth is three times as high as that of the lowest of the eight regiments (First Heavy Artillery), 4 per cent more than the highest one besides, and almost double the average rate of the eight regiments.

The swamps of Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Alabama and Florida told fearfully against the lives of the poor fellows who followed the flag of the Sixty-ninth and in the soil of eleven once hostile (but now, let us hope, reconciled and friendly) States, these much enduring men have been laid to rest to await the Archangel's trump at the resurrection morn.

Regiment mustered in at Wabash August 19, 1862; Colonel, John U. Pettit.

The Seventy-fifth Regiment was raised in the Eleventh Congressional District, and its place of rendezvous was Wabash. The men were mustered in August 19, and August 21 the regiment moved to Louisville, thence to Lebanon and back to Louisville. They marched to Frankfort, Scottsville and Gallatin, and back to Cave City in pursuit of Morgan. Their winter camp was near Gallatin, and in January, 1863, they moved to Murfreesboro, remaining until June 24, being engaged in scouting and other hard service. The Seventy-fifth was a part of the Second Brigade, Third Division, Fourteenth Army Corps, and they were known as the Indiana Brigade, all three regiments being from Indiana - Seventy-fifth, Highty-seventh and One Hundred and First.

June 24, 1863, the regiment set out for Tullahoma, fighting the battle of Hoover's Gap as they went. This regiment entered the rebel works at Tullahoma first about July 1, 1863. It crossed the Tennessee with Rosecrans and fought at Chickamauga September 19 and 20, 1863, the loss being 17 killed and 107 wounded.

The regiment was stationed at Chattanooga for several months, taking a part in the battle of Mission Ridge, losing twenty-two killed and wounded. The winter was spent in and near Chattanooga, and early in the spring the regiment moved to Ringgold for the Atlanta campaign. April 27, 1864, Sherman ordered his troops to concentrate at Chattanooga.

''On the 7th of May, 1864, Thomas occupied Laurel Hill. On the 12th, the whole army, except Howard's Corps, moved through Snake Creek Gap on Resaca. On the 15th the battle of Resaca was fought, and the.same night the rebel army retreated across the Oostenaula. Near Adairsville, the rear of the rebel army was encountered, and a sharp fight ensued. On the 28, the enemy made an assault at Dallas, but met with a bloody repulse. On the 27th of June an assault was made upon the enemy's position on Kenesaw without success. On the 2d of July, Kenesaw was abandoned by the enemy. On the 4th, Thomas demonstrated so strongly on the enemy's communications as to cause him to fall back to the Chattahoochie River and cross that river on the 9th. On the 20th, the enemy sallied from his works in force, and fought the battle of Peach Tree Creek. On the 22d, a general battle was fought in front of Atlanta, the rebels being defeated. On the 28th, the enemy made another assault upon our besieging lines, but were driven back in confusion. The siege of Atlanta vigorously progressed with constant skirmishing. On the 25th of August, the bulk of Sherman's army moved by a circuit around Atlanta, struck its southern communications near Fairburn, destroying the West Point Railroad and the Macon Railroad. This caused the enemy to evacuate Atlanta on the 2d of September. On the 4th of September, the army moved slowly back to Atlanta, and rested in clean, healthy camps. Thus, after four months' campaign, ended one of the greatest achievements of the war."

During the Atlanta campaign the regiment marched and fought with the Second Brigade, Third Division, Fuurteenth Army Corps, engaging in the battles of Dalton, Resaca, Dallas, Kenesaw Mountain, Peach Tree Creek and Jonesboro. The regiment had for a brief season a time of rest; but soon they moved to repel Hood's advance on Sherman's rear. The regiment marched in pursuit to Gaylesville, resting a short time on the Chattooga River. Returning to Atlanta, the Seventy-fifth set out with Sherman on his famous 'march to the sea,' and went the whole round through Georgia and the Carolinas, to Raleigh, and

The regiment took part in the grand review before President Johnson, Gen. Sherman and the rest of the magnates, marching in solid phalanx twelve deep for hours, "tramp, tramp, tramp," through the broad avenues of the Capital City.

They were mustered out at the capital June 8, 1865. The recruits were transferred to the Forty-second Indiana, and served with that regiment until its muster out at Louisville July 21, 1865.

Eighty-Fourth Indiana, Three Years

Regiment mustered in at Richmond September 3, 1862; Colonel, Nelson Trusler; mustered out at Nashville June 18, 1865; reached Indianapolis June 17, 1865; was publicly received, with others, June 26, 1865. Addresses were made by Gov. Morton, Gen. Hovey, Gen. Wilder and others.

The Highty-fourth Regiment was raised in the Fifth District, and mustered in at Richmond September 3, 1862, with Nelson Trusler, Colonel. Its first work was to aid in the defense of Cincinnati from the legions of Kirby Smith. Buell's army made the Confederate hosts to fall back, and the regiment was sent to Western Virginia, camping at Point Pleasant, Guyandotte, Catlettsburg and Cassville; at the latter place nearly three months. February 7, 1863, the Highty-fourth sailed down the Ohio to Louisville, and thence to Nashville, encamping there until March 5. Thence they moved to Franklin,-camping again until the 3d of June. Its times of encampment were occupied with scouting, reconnnoissances, skirmishes, and the like.

June 3, they marched to Triune. They were attacked June 11, but without success, by the rebels. Thence they marched through Shelbyville to Wartrace, encamping until August 12, and thence to Tullahoma and to Stevenson, Bridgeport and Chattanooga, arriving September 13. Camping at Rossville until the 18th, the regiment marched to the front and were posted on the left of the army of the Cumberland.

The Highty-fourth was in the battle of Chickamauga both days, fichting bravely and losing heavily. Holding the key to Rosecrans' retreat, that division stood stubbornly and saved the army. The regiment was on picket duty opptBsite Lookout Mountain nine days and nights, and then moved to Moccasin Point and then to Shell Mound, remaining there until January 20, 1864. The Highty-fourth was transferrred to the Second Brigade, First Division, Fourth Army Corps. The regiment marched to Cleveland, reaching the place February 6; thence on the the 22d to Buzzard's Roost, fighting there on the 25th. Returning to Cleveland, they stayed until the 3d of May, 1864. Sherman was now ready to march and fight his stubborn way to Atlanta, "the gateway of the South," and the Highty-fourth was with him all the time, and were engaged in fifteen battles during that terrible summer, marching triumphantly at the last into the conquered city of Atlanta. After this campaign, the Fourth Corps was ordered back to the Army of the Tennessee; and they marched by way of Athens, Pulaski and Franklin to Nashville, fighting in the furious battle of Franklin on the way. Reaching Nashville December 1, they had barely time for a short respite before Thomas burst forth upon Hood with resistless power, scattering Hood's army to the winds. Our troops pursued for a long way, and returned at last.

Encamping at Huntsville, where it had ended its pursuit of Hood, the troops remained there until March 13, moving thence to Knoxville, Strawberry Plains, Bull's Gap and Shield's Mills. Remaining awhile, they went back once more to Nashville April 18, 1885. June 14, 1865, the Highty-fourth was mustered out at Nashville, the recruits being assigned to the Fifty-seventh Indiana, serving in that regiment until its muster out in November, 1865.

Casualties- - Killed, 31; wounded, 167; missing in action, 4; it has marched on foot 2,363 miles; traveled by steamer 7, - 112 miles; by rail, 1,232 miles; making a total of 10,707 miles, nearly half round the globe.

The companies were sent to different places, C and F to Carrollton, Ky., and I to Rising Sun, Ind.; the others to the counties on the Ohio River.

The whole regiment was united at Glasgow, Ky., in March, 1863, and were kept scouting and skirmishing on the Cumberland River. The regiment spent much of their time in Middle and Hastern Tennessee until February, 1864, engaging in exceedingly active, laborious and dangerous service, fighting many battles, some of them severe and fatal.

July 19, 1868, the regiment headed Morgan's forces at Buffington's Island, and fought them there, scattering the rebels in every direction, killing aud capturing many, and taking also five pieces of artillery.

They returned to Louisville, and August 15 started fur East Tennessee, crossing the Cumberland Mountains, and being the first Federal regiment to enter Knoxville.

In May, 1864, they crossed the mountains to Tunnel Hill, Ga., arriving May 12, 1864, and ioining Gen. Stoneman. On the ''Stoneman Raid," the Fifth Cavalry, after bravely holding the enemy in check for the escape of the main body, were surrendered to the enemy against the vigorous protest of Col. Butler, their commander.

These poor men were doomed to the horrors of Andersonville and other prisons only less abominable and deadly. The sad tale of their sufferings may be guessed by the terrible fact that 115 of their number died in prison.

~The regiment was at length mounted anew, and January 17, Here they scouted, captured bushwhackers and outlaws until June 46, 1865. The muster out then took place, and they were welcomed at Indianapolis June 21, 1865, at the Capital grove.

Ninety-Ninth Indiana Infantry, Three Years

The Ninety-ninth was recruited in the Ninth Congressional District, including, however, three companies from the Sixth District that had been raised for the Ninety-sixth.

In November, 1862, the regiment moved to Memphis, and November 25, on the Tallahatchie campaign. Jeturning. they were stationed on the railroad east of Memphis, at Lagrange.

July 4, they started for Jackson. July 16, that town was evacuated and Sherman's army took possession. After lying in camp at Big Black River for several weeks, the movement to Chattanooga was begun. The Ninety-ninth formed a part of the column that struck out from Memphis and marched across Mississippi and Alabama into Georgia, through Corinth, Florence and Stevenson, to Chattanooga, arriving November 24. The battle of Mission Ridge was fought the next day, and the Ninetyninth was engaged therein.

Chasing Bragg to Graysville, they turned eastward, and set out forthwith for Knoxville, to drive off Longstreet and relieve Burnside. The column accomplished their difficult march, nearly without blankets, and greatly lacking for clothing and shoes, without regular rations and cut off from supplies, many of the men barefooted, but cheerful in their destitute condition, they pressed resolutely onward to find Longstreet's legions fleeing from their approach, and bringing abundant rejoicing to the hearts of the troops shut up in the beleaguered town of Knoxville. The regiment retnrned, reaching Scottsboro, Ala., December 26, having made a desperate march of more than four hundred miles since driving the hosts of the boastful Bragg from the investment of Chattanooga.

They encamped at Scottsboro until February 14; marched into East Tennessee and back to Scottsboro, and on the Ist of May, 1864, set out as a part of Sherman's grand army on the movement to Atlanta and the sea.

After the fall of Atlanta, Hood's army was pursued, and the Ninety-ninth had a march out and back of 200 miles. With the Ninety-ninth in Howard's Corps on the left, Sherman's victorious force swung loose from its moorings and moved boldly forward through the heart of Georgia, finding supplies as they marched. On a track sixty miles wide that conquering army moved, nor stopped nor stayed until in twenty-four days they had swept over 300 miles of travel and taken Fort McAllister, entered Savannah in triumph aud opened communication with the shipping on the coast.

December 15, Savannah was occupied. Shortly the legions took up again their line of march, turning the head of their advancing column northward to capture Richmond and Gen. Lee, and end the war. Columbia was reached February 17, 1865. The Twentieth Corps gladly received the aid of the Ninety-ninth in the battle of Bentonville. Thence the road was taken to Goldsboro, Raleigh, Petersburg and Richmond. The brave soldiers who had made their march hundreds of miles to help take Richmond were balked of their purpose; for Richmond had been already taken, and Sherman's legions could only enter the rebel stronghold as a vonquered city. Onward to the capital they pursued their unobstructed way, took part proudly in the grand review in the streets of Washington and were mustered out June 5, 1865, and going by rail to their own State and capital, they were joyfully received and cordially weleomed ''home again.'' The Ninety-ninth had 900 officers and men, and 425 at mustering out. Though they performed much had service, including thousands of miles of weary tramp, tramp, tramping over Southern plains and valleys, yet health and strength, and, we may add, good hope and cheer, were preserved in aremarkable degree.

Late on the evening of July 8, 1863, word came to Indianapolis that Gen. John H. Morgan had crossed the Ohio near Corydon, Ind. Gov. Morton issued his call forthwith, and in fortyeight hours 65,000 men had answered the call. Thirteen regiments were organized, numbered from One Hundred and Second to One Hundred and Fourteenth inclusive.

The One Hundred and Fifth Regiment contained two companies from Henry and two from Randolph; Union, Putnam, Hancock, Clinton, Madison and Wayne Counties, each one company. Seven of the companies were of the Legion.

The regiment was organized July 12, 1863, Kline G. Shryock, Colonel, containing 713 men. They left instanter for Lawrenceburg. After marching around for several days in pursuit of Morgan, and finding that he had gone eastward through Ohio and beyond their reach, they returned to Indianapolis in just six days after they had quitted it, and were mustered out July 18, 1865. Men from Randolph County in One Hundred and Fifth Regiment:

This regiment was organized July 11, 1863, under Col. Isaac P. Gray. There were five companies from Wayne, two from Randolph, and one each from Hancock, Howard and Marion. The number of members was 792. They left Indianapolis for Hamilton, Ohio, July 13; went to Cincinnati, and returned to Indianapolis, being discharged July, 18, 1865.

Colonel; 709 men; La Porte, two companies; Hamilton County, two; Miami, two; Coles County, two; Henry and Randolph Counties, one each. The regiment went by rail to Hamilton and CHSHDE, returned to Indianapolis, and were mustered out July 17, 1865.

One Hundred And Seventeenth Regiment, Six Months

Positions of the regiment - Nicholasville, September 24, 1863; Cumberland Gap, October 3, 1863; Clinch Mountain Gap, November 24, 1868; Knoxville, December, 1863; Strawberry Plains, December, 1863; Cumberland Gap, January, 1864; Indianapolis, February 6, 1864.

The winter campaign in Hast Tennessee was very severe, marching over mountains, crossing streams without shoes, and sometimes on quarter rations.

Seventh Indiana Cavalry, One Hundred And Nineteenth Regiment

(Norz.. - Much of the annexed statement is composed from material taken from a history of the Seventh Cavalry published some years ago, partly under the eye of Gen. Thomas M. Browne. )

This regiment was recruited by order of the Adjutant General of Indiana, dated June 24, 1863, one company being accorded to each Congressional District, and thirty days granted for the completion of the work.

Col. J. P. C. Shanks was appointed commander of the camp of rendezvous, called Camp Shanks. One hundred dollars were to be paid to each man - $25 in advance.

The regimental officers:were: Colonel, J. P. C. Shanks, of Portland, Jay County; Lieutenant Colonel, Thomas M. Browne, Winchester, Randolph County; Majors, Christian Beck, Samuel EK. W. Simmons, John.C. Febles; Adjutant, James A. Pice; Chaplain, James Marquis; Surgeon, William Freeman.

The regiment entered Camp Shanks, at Indianapolis, and remained under drill until December 6, 1863. At first, they were entirely untrained, and their experience presents some ludicrous adventures.

At their first parade, for instance, when the order was given to '"' draw sabers," the rattling caused by the movement frightened the horses out of all control, and they scattered and fled in every direction. But perseverantia vincit omnia (perseverance conquers all things), and before they left Indianapolis, their mounted parade was a scene that would be, even for a veteran cavalier, a sight to behold.

December 6, 1863, the Seventh Cavalry left Indianapolis for Cairo, Ill., moving thence to Columbus, Ky. Their first camp was near that town, and their first night in the field was spent in a pouring rain, which flooded the country and their campingground as well.

They marched to Union City, Tenn.; arrived December, 1863, and were there assigned to the First Brigade, Sixth Division, Sixteenth Army Corps - Brigade Commander, Col. George E. Waring, Jr., of the Fourth Missouri Cavalry.

The regiments in the brigade were the Fourth Missouri, Col. George E. Waring, Jr.; Second New Jersey, Col. Joseph Karge; Seventh Indiana, Col. John P. C. Shanks; Sixth Tennessee, Col. Hurst; Nineteenth Pennsylvania, Cul. Hess; Second Iowa, four companies, Maj. Frank Moore; battery, Capt. Copperfair.

December 23, 1863, Gen. A. J. Smith set out with his entire force for Jackson, Tenn., sixty miles from Union City, to drive away Gen. Forrest, remaining till January 1, 1864, that ''terrible New Year's," when the thermometer changed, in Central Indiana, between 9 P. M. and 4 A. M., from forty-five above to twenty-six below zero, a change of seventy-one degrees in nine hours, or a fraction less than eight degrees each hour.

The regiment was on its return to Union City. The weather grew intensely cold, and the rain changed to a fierce and fearful sleet. Many were badly frozen, and some died from the exposure - among others, Alvah Tucker, of Company B, dying at St. Louis some time afterward. Even horses perished by the cold and fell dead in the road.

January 7, 1864, the body of the cavalry, under Gen. Grierson, set out for Colliersville, in Southwest Tennessee, to join an expedition into Mississippi in aid of Gen. Sherman

"T am engaged in collecting a large cavalry force at Savannah, Tenn., to co-operate in 'cleaning out Forrest,' to push on also into Kast Mississippi and destroy the Mobile Railroad."

"Sherman is to move to Meridian from Vicksburg with 20,- 000 men and the co-operating cavalry force from Corinth. Banks is to push westward from the river, and, by these combined movements, it is expected to crush the rebel power in the South in the region of the Mississippi River."

Gen., Smith remained near Memphistill February 9. Marching eastward, the army of seven thousand men concentrated near and east of the Tallahatchie River on the 17th of February. A slight engagement was had at Okolona February 18; and the Union forces were badly defeated February 20, retreating to Colhersville, reaching that point February 25, and arriving at Camp Grierson, near Memphis, February 27.

On the day when Smith commenced his ill-starred retreat, Gen. Winslow, with the Union forces, was at Louisville, Miss., only forty-five miles distant.

The history of these events charges that the Generals commanding in that and the succeeding expedition in which the Seventh took part were entirely incompetent and inefficient, especially Gen. Sturgis in the expedition that followed.

The whole number of the regiment who were engaged at Okolona was 813, and the loss was one-tenth of that number- - eleven killed, thirty wounded, five wounded and prisoners, captured unwounded, thirty-six; total, eighty-two. Loss from Randolph County, Lieut. Francis M. Way, wounded.

The regiment afterward engaged as part of a force of 8,000 men under Gen. Sturgis, who seems to have been unfit for his station. At Brice's Cross Roads, Miss. (Guntown), a severe battle took place, resulting in the defeat of the Union forces, June 10, 1864, and Col. Browne was wounded in the ankle.

The troops seem to have been, in these expeditions, brave and heroic, but the failure would appear to be charged upon the commanding General.

The Seventh Indiana, Lieut. Col. Browne commanding, was especially commended for heroic conduct. Gen. Grierson thus recognizes their brave and soldier-like bearing:

"Your General congratulates you upon your noble conduct during the late expedition, fighting against overwhelming numbers, in adverse circumstances, your prompt obedience to orders and unflinchiny courage commanding the admiration of all, turned even defeat almost into victory. For hours, on foot, you repulsed the charges of the enemy's infantry; and again, in the saddle, you turned Lis assaults into confusion. Your heroic perseverance saved hundreds of your fellow-soldiers from capture. You have been faithful to your honorable reputation, and have fully justified the esteem of your commander."'

During the month of July, 1864, the Seventh Cavalry was sent co Vicksburg, and thence to Port Gibson and Grand Gulf, returning to Memphis and to White Station July 24, 1864.
